Frankston Council posts big surplus Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council posted a surplus of $26.52 million in the 2025/2026 financial year, its annual report has revealed. In the 2025/2026 financial year, Frankston Council spent $71.8 million of ratepayer money on infrastructure projects. $30.1 million of
that was spent on improving existing assets. In the annual report released last week, Frankston Council’s CEO Tennille Bradley said “despite ongoing cost pressures and the increasing demands on local government, council continued to invest in the infrastructure, services and programs our community relies on. We completed major projects including Seaford Place, Langwarrin Place, Sandfield Reserve
and the Frankston Arts Centre forecourt, while construction commenced on the $60 million Frankston Stadium and works progressed on the Frankston Regional Arts Trail.” Frankston mayor Cr Sue Baker wrote in the annual report that “across Frankston City, investment in community facilities, open space, sport, arts and culture is creating more opportunities for people to connect, participate and thrive. Private invest-
ment and development are also helping prepare our city for future growth, including three major developments worth a combined $137 million along the Nepean Highway, delivering 312 new apartments alongside retail, hospitality and office space.” The $26.52 million surplus, which is inclusive of grants from other levels of government, is an increase on the $15.87 million surplus from the previous financial year. The annual
report read that the increase “included higher capital grants linked to the timing of capital works projects, as well as significant non-monetary contributions relating to gifted buildings under the Kindergarten Infrastructure and Services Plan and land, roads, footpaths and drainage assets received through subdivision developments within the municipality.” Continued page 6

Davey Street high-rise proposed Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE construction of a 15 storey apartment building has been proposed for 8 Davey Street in Frankston. The 15-storey proposal includes 142 dwellings, 83 residential hotel rooms, a conference centre, and a food and drink premises. The plans include an eastern tower standing 48.23 metres tall and a western tower with a maximum height of 50.47 metres. Plans to redevelop the site have been in the works for years. In 2021, the derelict building which sits on the 8 Davey Street site went up in flames. (“Demolition-bound building up in flames” The Times 13/12/2021) Frankston Council will consider that latest proposal at its 26 October meeting, shortly after publication deadline. Frankston Council officers have recommended granting a permit for the redevelopment. They wrote in their report that “the proposal will facilitate the widening and extension of Bay Lane from the Nepean Highway intersection to the eastern end of the subject site and includes the gifting of land on the subject site to upgrade the existing one-way road to accommodate two-way traffic movement. The proposed widening and extension of the lane is expected to improve local traffic circulation, accessibility and network efficiency.” “The application was advertised and 38 objections were received. Key
grounds of objections included excessive building height, limited setbacks, overshadowing, overlooking, traffic, lack of car parking, acoustic treatments and impact upon the heritage character and the environment,” council officers wrote. “In response to concerns expressed by officers regarding the impact of the building on the public realm, the applicant has supplied two sets of amended plans identifying a reduction in building height and overshadowing, increased setbacks and changes to the architectural design of the building.” Council officers concluded that they “consider the amended proposal to have a number of positive characteristics, and that the building would, subject to conditions make a positive contribution to the revitalisation of the activity centre.”

BAM Arts stars on the national stage PERFORMERS from BAM Arts in Frankston were the stars of the 2026 Special Olympics Australia opening ceremony last week. BAM Arts is an inclusive performing arts organisation for people living with disabilities. The performers have been preparing for weeks for the opening ceremony, which took place last Monday 19 October. The opening ceremony also featured another local, DJ Cooper Smith. The DJ is a regular feature at the Frankston Waterfront Festival. A statement from Frankston Council read that BAM Arts members “took to the stage at Margaret Court Arena to put on a show before the Games got underway, having been asked to coordinate and choreograph the performance component of the show.” “Joining them to add to the Frankston City feel will be local DJ Cooper Smith! One of the star attractions at Frankston Waterfront Festival earlier this year, DJ Cooper Smith has shot to fame in recent years, navigating his disability to get people dancing as he spins the decks. “This year marks 50 years of the Special Olympics National Games and we’re so proud to see our local stars centre stage for the opening ceremony.”

Death at beach A MAN died at Frankston Beach last week. The man was reported missing in the water just before 5pm on Friday, 23 October. Emergency services soon attended, and the man was found unresponsive. The man was declared dead at the scene. In a statement, Victoria Police confirmed it would “prepare a report for the coroner following the death”.
Theft charges laid A FRANKSTON man was among five people charged last week in connection to a series of alleged thefts in Cranbourne. Police allege that during October, more than $10,000 worth of goods were stolen from the Cranbourne, Clyde, Hampton Park, and Narre Warren areas. Police raided a property on Lyall Street in Cranbourne on 21 October, where they arrested five people.
Police say they seized televisions, electronic devices and lithium batteries, a Vespa scooter, copper, and illicit drugs. A 34-year-old man from Frankston was charged with fail to appear on bail; five counts of theft; shop steal; theft from motor vehicle; two counts of handle stolen goods; and commit indictable whilst on bail. He was remanded to face Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 22 October. A 36-year-old man from Cranbourne, a 40-year-old man from Cranbourne, and a 32-year-old woman from Cranbourne were each hit with multiple charges, including theft, and remanded to face Frankston Magistrates’ Court. A 30-year-old woman from Cranbourne was charged with handle stolen goods and bail offences, and was subsequently bailed to face Frankston Magistrates’ Court. Cranbourne Police Station sergeant Steve Williams said “police received multiple tip offs from members of the public in relation to the ongoing crime and issues at the address. As a result, police have acted swiftly. “We won’t allow these issues to go unnoticed, and we always ask members of the community to report something if it doesn’t look right”.
AN investigation into an alleged stabbing at Mordialloc Pier is continuing. Police allege that two groups of young people began brawling on the Mordialloc Pier at about 5.45pm on 18 October. An 18-year-old sustained deep lacerations to his wrists during the incident. The 18-year-old Rowville man then ran to the Woolworths supermarket on Main Street, where emergency services were called. He was taken to hospital with “serious but non-life-threatening injuries”, a Victoria Police statement read. Shortly afterwards, police arrested three teenagers in relation to an alleged affray in the supermarket. In a statement, police said they will “investigate if this incident was linked to the stabbing.” A 16-year-old from the Greater Dandenong area, 15-year-old from the Knox area, and a 15-year-old from the Whitehorse area were arrested and subsequently released. The violence at Mordialloc Pier has sparked
widespread condemnation from locals. Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said “the reports of an alleged attack in Mordialloc are disturbing and disgraceful. We know incidents like this are deeply unsettling for our local community. “Everyone has the right to feel safe, enjoy our wonderful beaches and the thriving Mordialloc community. It is what makes Kingston so vibrant,” Richardson said. “Each year Victoria Police provides significant police presence and resources as part of Operation SummerSafe across our beaches and townships. We have seen this recently in Mordialloc and Chelsea. “I wanted to acknowledge and sincerely thank our first responders and Victoria Police for their work in keeping our community safe. They will continue supporting our local community and ensure we all can enjoy our wonderful beaches.” Victoria Police has asked any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor pushes for intersection upgrades Raia Flinos raia@baysidenews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Stephen Batty has joined forces with local psychologist, Danielle Jacobs, to call for urgent safety upgrades at three of Mt Eliza’s busiest intersections. The pair have started a petition calling for safety upgrades at Volitans Avenue, Mount Eliza Way, and Baden Powell Drive. They said the gaps in traffic at these intersections are short, and vehicles travel fast, with no traffic lights or proper intersection controls to help anyone get onto, off, or across the highway. Batty said locals will be familiar with the problems experienced at the three intersections. “It’s been too long - we need these intersections fixed, and it just can’t wait,” said Batty. “Out of respect to our community members who have lost loved ones at these intersections and to the people whose lives have been forever altered through serious injuries here, we need these fixed.” The petition to the Victorian Parliament asks for independent safety audits of all three intersections, as well as a review of speed limits, signage, line marking, lighting, vegetation, and sightlines. It also asks for a clear timetable to deliver any audit recommendations. Both Jacobs and Batty have spent most of their lives in Mt Eliza and use these intersections every day. They said they have seen near

misses, crashes, and the aftermath of crashes where people didn’t make it home. “This isn’t about statistics for us. It’s about our neighbours,” said Jacobs. “It’s the mum doing the school run, the tradie heading off to work, the older couple popping down to the shops, and the families who drive down every summer to enjoy the peninsula. We just want everyone to get home safely.”
The idea for the campaign came about at the shire’s recent Dying to Know Day, which was an event that encouraged people to talk openly about death and dying. Jacobs was co-presenting a talk on Voluntary Assisted Dying at the event and got to chatting with Batty. They said the conversation quickly turned to a topic they both felt strongly about: unnecessary road deaths. Jacobs went to the local primary
school, spent her teen years working behind the counter at local bakeries, and is often seen around Mt Eliza with her dogs, Ollie and Mia. Ollie and Mia work alongside Jacobs as therapy dogs and visit patients through Peninsula Home Hospice and Peninsula Health’s Golf Links Rd Palliative Care Unit. “I’ve spent a lot of time sitting with people at the end of their lives, and with the families who love them,” said Jacobs.
“When a death is sudden and could have been prevented, the grief is different. We don’t need to wait for another fatality, another serious accident or another near miss before we act. We already know these intersections aren’t safe.” Jacobs mentioned the intersection at Forest Drive in Mt Martha, which received safety upgrades and traffic lights. “Mount Martha got theirs sorted,” said Jacobs. “Now it’s our turn.” Jacobs said the intersections belong to anyone who has driven, ridden, or walked through Mt Eliza. “Please sign it, share it with your friends and family, and let’s make sure everyone gets home safely,” said Jacobs. You can sign the petition at: parliament.vic.gov.au/get-involved/ petitions/commission-independentroad-safety-audits-in-nepeanhighway-mount-eliza/.

Thousands of properties removed from erosion overlay Raia Flinos raia@baysidenews.com.au
Picture: Supplied
THOUSANDS of properties will be removed from the interim Erosion Management Overlay (EMO7) after the state government approved a planning scheme amendment. The approval of Planning Scheme Amendment C314morn means the number of properties covered by the overlay will be reduced from around 33,000 to 6,000. The amendment ensures planning controls are targeted to areas of landslide susceptibility and will make planning requirements simpler for landowners undertaking minor buildings and works. Mayor Cr Stephen Batty said the changes delivered a fairer and more targeted approach while continuing to manage landslide risk responsibly. “Council understands the frustration experienced by many property owners when the interim overlay was initially introduced earlier this year, and we’re pleased the updated mapping will significantly reduce the number of properties affected,” said Batty. The EMO7 was introduced by the Planning Minister in January of 2026 following urgent recommendations from the McCrae landslide board of inquiry (“Minister approves interim landslide overlay despite errors”, The Times, 12/01/26). In August, the shire decided to request amendments to the overlay after an updated review using expert advice (“Shire to seek changes
to landslide overlay”, The Times, 10/08/26). “We acted quickly to review the mapping, working with geotechnical experts to use better data and technology to more accurately identify
areas of landslide susceptibility,” said Batty. The revised EMO7 follows a review of existing landslide susceptibility mapping by geotechnical experts and uses improved data and
technology to better identify areas prone to landslides. The revised overlay will apply to about 4,200 residential and 1,800 non-residential properties, which cover about five per cent of the pen-
insula’s total land area. Around 40 per cent of the land within the updated overlay is public land. A small number of properties will be added to the overlay, many of which are adjacent to slopes where the refined mapping introduces a buffer zone to help manage the potential for new development to increase landslide risk. Batty said the updated overlay would remain an interim measure while the council prepares a comprehensive new shire-wide landslide susceptibility study to develop and apply permanent controls to replace the EMO7. This will take around two to four years to complete, including community consultation and a full planning scheme amendment process. “While an Erosion Management Overlay would not have prevented the McCrae landslide, council accepted the Minister’s decision to urgently implement the board of inquiry’s recommendation,” said Batty. “This amendment is an important step in improving the way landslide susceptibility is identified and managed while longer-term work continues.” More information is available at: mornpen.vic.gov.au/C314morn.

Did You Know?
The percentage of people aged 65 or older with earwax impaction is reported to be as high as 34%!
Do you experience any of the following? • Earache • Itching • Tinnitus (ringing and buzzing in the ears) • Vertigo • Hearing loss These could be the complications of excessive or impacted earwax.
Why choose microsuction at Viva Hearing? Microsuction has become widely recognised as the gold standard for efficient and safe earwax removal. This advanced procedure uses a specialised suction device under direct visualisation, allowing for precise and controlled removal of earwax while significantly reducing the risk of trauma to the ear canal and eardrum. Unlike traditional ear syringing, microsuction is quick, comfortable, and does not require the prior use of eardrops. It is particularly beneficial for seniors looking to improve their hearing without the discomfort or potential infection risks associated with syringing.

THE HUNTING PARTY
AGES OF ICE
ABC FAMILY, 7.30pm
Gold Logie winner Tom Gleeson has built a career out of roasting other people, but in this family-friendly Hard Quiz spin-off, Gleeson is the one on the coals as four contestants aged 10-13 take on his trivia challenge. What these junior smartypants might lack in size, they certainly make up for in sass. This week, the host grills The Princess Diaries devotee Amelie, periodic table whizz Finn, The Adventures of Tintin expert Zara and fishing show Chasing Monsters fan Atticus (pictured with Gleeson) in their specialist subjects and a few of his own choosing. Their general knowledge is impressive – but it’s the clever young contestants’ comedic timing that steals the show.

Centred on the hunt for serial killers who escaped a top-secret facility, this imaginative procedural takes a leaf out of Elsbeth’s book by enlisting a wealth of guest stars to play its disturbed fugitives. Will & Grace star Eric McCormack gets this second season premiere started as Ron “the Boogeyman” Simms, who targets women seeking romance, and fixates on former FBI profiler Bex (Melissa Roxburgh, pictured). Monday’s second episode focuses on a murderer who preserves his victims in resin – keep an eye out for Emmy Award winner Niecy Nash-Betts as Erica, the detective who brought him to justice the first time around.
Adventure, science and cinematography combine to make this nature documentary one of a kind. Doctor Who star David Tennant’s commanding narration doesn’t hurt, either. The three-part series is a deep dive into our planet’s frozen wilderness and a study of the researchers pushing the boundaries to understand it better. Tuesday’s opening episode joins a glaciologist in Greenland who is tracking a thundering river of “meltwater”, before finding Australian engineer and explorer Dr Adrian McCallum (pictured) on a 535km ski trip across an ice sheet to collect critical climate data. It’s a fascinating look at these fragile ecosystems and those safeguarding their future. 3010

Benefits of gardening for seniors: Mental and physical GARDENING is a timeless pursuit that transcends generations. For older adults, it becomes a source of both joy and holistic well-being. In fact, there is a positive correlation between gardening and senior health. As we age, the therapeutic benefits of tending to plants and nurturing a garden become increasingly apparent. In this blog, we share senior gardening benefits and explore how this pastime offers a means to stay physically active, mentally engaged, and socially connected. From the scent of blooming flowers to the taste of homegrown produce, gardening provides a rich tapestry of experiences that enhance the quality of life in retirement. Discover how tending to a garden can cultivate physical and mental health benefits in your golden years. What are the Physical Benefits of Gardening? As we gracefully age, it’s essential to find activities that promote physical well-being while also being enjoyable and sustainable. Gardening, a timeless pursuit, is a practice that perfectly aligns with these goals. Some of the physical benefits of gardening include: n Improved Muscle Strength and Endurance Gardening involves a myriad of physical tasks, such as digging, planting, weeding, and lifting. Regular gardening sessions can contribute to increased physical resilience and reduced risk of age-related muscle loss.
n Enhanced Flexibility and Joint Health Bending, reaching, and stretching during gardening promotes flexibility and joint health. These movements can help seniors maintain their range of motion and reduce the risk of stiffness and joint pain. Gardening also encourages gentle, low-impact movements, making it an ideal activity for those with joint concerns. n Cardiovascular Health Engaging in moderate-intensity gardening activities, such as brisk walking while pushing a wheelbarrow or mowing the lawn, can improve cardiovascular health. These activities raise the heart rate and help seniors maintain a healthy circulatory system, reducing the risk of heart-related issues. n Vitamin D Absorption One of the hidden benefits of gardening is the opportunity to soak up some natural sunlight. Spending time outdoors exposes seniors to vitamin D, which is crucial for calcium absorption, bone health, and overall immune system function. Adequate vitamin D levels can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis and fractures. Did you know that at our retirement homes across Melbourne, we offer hobby gardens for our community members?

beautiful home HOME LIFTS Is your dream home missing this feature? CREATING A
MOVING to the Peninsula can be a dream come true. Perhaps you’ve spent years imagining your coastal retreat, planning and refining every detail of the design, and now you’re ready to see it come to life. If it’s a double-storey or split-level home, you’ve likely given considerable thought to the staircase. It might be polished timber, winding gently upward toward light-filled living spaces overlooking the bay. Staircases attract a great deal of attention. However, a well-designed home should be as practical as it is beautiful, and it’s worth considering how you’ll move between floors as your needs and circumstances change over time. That’s why allowing space for a RESiLIFT® at the outset can make a real difference. Designed by a Tasmanian engineer and made right here in Australia, RESiLIFT provides effortless access to both levels of your home, making everyday movement easier and safer. With a residential lift, carrying heavy items like luggage and groceries to the other level becomes a breeze, and at the press of a button, you can welcome friends or family who struggle with stairs to join you for dinner with a view. It can be hard to picture a residential lift in your home, but RESiLIFT’s streamlined, shaft-free design makes it easy to incorporate into almost any floor plan. Moreover, because it’s manufactured locally, you can match colours and finishes

to your interiors, so the lift remains discreet and complements your style beautifully. For Mornington Peninsula resident Bev Hill, having an alternative to the stairs has proved to be a valuable decision. “We decided to future-proof our house and have an alternative to the 17 steps to get upstairs,” she explains. More than four years later, Bev’s delighted with her choice. “The lift is quiet and unobtrusive,” she says. “Often people come to our house and
don’t notice it, even though it is in the main room.” And when it comes to everyday practicality, Bev adds, “It’s wonderful for getting heavy things, like cases, upstairs.” Whether you install a lift during construction or add one later, like Bev did, a RESiLIFT can help you enjoy your dream coastal lifestyle for years to come. Want to learn more? Contact your local RESiLIFT distributor, Elevation Creations, on 1300 303 522 today to book your free home lift consultation.

A century of potholes I enjoy reading about what life was like 100 years ago, for example, the personal details such as where people travelled, gifts for good deeds, and descriptions of wedding parties, so I was amused, and somewhat dismayed, to read in the “100 Years Ago This Week” (13 October) that a letter writer in 1926 was complaining about potholes and the condition of local roads in Hastings. A century later, motorists travelling along the peninsula could be forgiven for wondering whether much has changed. Some of the potholes on our roads are not only uncomfortable but potentially dangerous. It seems remarkable that, after one hundred years, the same complaint still matters. Anne Kruger, Rye
Bush worth protecting
Well done to Elizabeth Cester and other locals whose submissions helped protect bushland and wildlife from a quarry expansion in Langwarrin (“Quarry extension application refused in Langwarrin green wedge”, The News, 20/10/26). It’s a reminder that speaking up works. Most of us value the bush, beaches and wildlife that make the peninsula special, but those places only stay protected when residents take the time to have their say. With proposals for development on green wedge land and the planned luge in Arthurs Seat State Park, there’s plenty more to weigh in on. A submission, a call to an MP or a chat with a neighbour all count. Green spaces give us more than a view; they give us clean air, shade and birdsong. And once the bush is gone, it doesn’t come back. Amy Hiller, Kew
Protect natural heritage
The destruction of old Messmate trees at Red Hill (“One hundred-year-old trees cut down”, The News, 13/10/26) and the community’s campaign to protect land at HMAS Cerberus (“Western Port community lodges Cerberus submission”, The News, 20/10/26) raise the same question: why are irreplaceable natural assets so poorly protected? At Red Hill, two magnificent old trees were felled for a CFA shed, despite planning overlays recognising the site’s significant landscape and vegetation values. These trees provided wildlife habitat, stored carbon and supported biodiversity. Meeting planning requirements does not necessarily justify destroying such environmental assets. Meanwhile, 17 community organisations have united to urge the Commonwealth to protect land proposed for divestment at HMAS Cerberus. Mornington Peninsula Shire proposes conservation as the primary use of the 1,164 hectares, allowing only compatible recreation, tourism or aquaculture. A conservation park would protect native vegetation, Western Port’s internationally significant wetlands, wildlife corridors and Bunurong cultural heritage. It would store carbon, strengthen climate resilience and provide public access to nature while avoiding inappropriate development. Federal MP Zoe McKenzie, Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt and Victorian Environment Minister Jaclyn Symes must work together to support the calls for conservation to be the primary use of HMAS Cerberus. They should secure public ownership and lasting protection for this irreplaceable natural asset, ensuring its ecological and cultural values are preserved for future generations. Ray Peck, Hawthorn
School funding
The state election is now but five weeks away. A newly arrived candidate has put her name forward and presented her view of what needs to done in regards to schooling in Mt Eliza. Promising $20m to improve education facilities at the Mount Eliza Secondary School this candidate demonstrates that she does not really understand how budgets and education budgets, in particular, are allocated. Chris Crewther has stated that, if re-elected, he would have access to $10m which would
PAGE 20
Frankston Times
27 October 2026
be used in upgrades and improvements at the Mount Eliza Secondary School. For example, (i) a dedicated student wellbeing facility; (ii) a redeveloped senior learning and drama centre; and (iii) a master plan - to plan and cost areas most in need of attention in the Mt Eliza Secondary School. Planning improvements in education, at any level, is costly and complicated. Chris Crewther’s suggestions are both realistic and feasible. Numerous and consistent reports on educational standards, issues and problems from other countries suggest that Australia is not doing too well, when compared with other countries. If a new state government was to be elected on November 28, with Chris Crewther, our local member, playing a major role, we could expect to see a different approach to many of this state’s most urgent and pressing social, economic and educational problems. Michael W. Small, Mornington
Follow the money
Every election we have to hear about those nasty independents being “funded” by Climate200. It is interesting that Climate200’s core values centre around: community independents, integrity, honesty, transparency, accountability, climate action, political independence, political integrity, ethical political donations, lobbying reform, management of conflicts of interest, community representation, evidence-based policy, gender equality, respectful politics, constructive debate, cooperation across political divisions, and accountability to voters. There is no evidence that the candidates are “controlled” by Climate200. They do, however, vet independent candidates to make sure they share these values before supporting them. Before an independent is financially supported they must start the vetting process by filing a campaign support form which requires information about the community organisation, its candidate, community backing and values. On the other hand, special interest groups supporting the Political Oligopoly share these core values: protecting members’ interests, influencing government policy and legislation, shaping regulations and taxation, securing financial and political benefits, lobbying politicians and decision-makers, seeking access to government and funding, protecting existing benefits and privileges, influencing public spending and resource allocation, promoting preferred policies, and resisting decisions that disadvantage their interests. Most special interest groups, however, throw their funding all over the place hoping that it gives them an advantage after the election no matter who wins. Unfortunately, unlike Independents, the Political Oligopoly Candidates do not have to declare who donates to them as campaign finance disclosure allows the money to flow through the party. If we look at VEC data for Anthony Marsh in the by-election you would see he only received $5,000 and spent nothing. AEC data for Zoe McKenzie in the last federal election she had “zero” donations and “zero” expenditure. So I am all for real time disclosures but first we have to level the playing field. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
A fair go
In the by-election last April Anthony Marsh’s supporters harassed and intimidated his independent opponent, Tracee Hutchinson. She spoke on the Raf Epstein program on 20 October about the persistent personal attacks to which she was subjected. In speaking about the appalling attack on Dr Helen Haines, Andrew Taylor, the federal leader of the Liberals said that personal abuse is a threat to our democracy. He is right and yet Anthony Marsh failed to stop personal abuse of his opponent by his supporters. Angus Taylor also said that ‘we have long been able to resolve our differences of view through long and vigorous debate’. That is not the case with the current Nepean MLA. He promulgated and amplified false claims about the cost of the Victorian treaty. He then refused several times to
meet and listen to the views of the Southern Peninsula Allies Group who wanted to explain how the treaty, when implemented, would actually save money by ending wasteful expenditure on failed projects done without consultation. The Liberals say they want to promote Australian values. A core Aussie value is to give things a fair go. If the treaty benefits do not work out then Aboriginal people will be the first to call for a change of approach, but to scrap the treaty, after 10 years of negotiating and planning, without giving it a fair go is un-Australian. The current member for the state seat of Nepean is unfit to hold public office. If you support giving the Treaty a fair go, but cannot bring yourself to vote Labor, there is a sane alternative, which is to vote for the independent candidate for Nepean, Kim Robbins, and for the independent candidates standing for the Upper House, led by Antoinette Pitt. Ralph Catts, Rye
Unnecessary criticism
M. G. Free, I find your criticism of David Gill and Joe Lenzo for being “out of step”, somewhat chilling (Election predictability, Letters, 20/10/26). As well as ironic, given your family name! How would evolution of idea, production, society, and species ever occur, were all to remain always “in step” with the rest? It would all be a sad echo chamber, which it all too often already is in political circles. No, it is historically those who have the guts to stand out from the crowd, with their lateral thought, imagination, foresight and ethics, despite discouraging heckling from the rusty, who have led us all forward. We were made human, not sheep. Paula Polson, Dromana
Teachers shine
Teachers make an indelible contribution in countless lives - from helping us realise our gifts and talents, to encouraging us to pursue our goals and careers. Friday 30th October marks World Teachers’ Day – a time to celebrate the amazing work teachers do to inspire, support and empower our children and young people. As a teacher and mother of four children, who are all thriving in their chosen careers, I love this celebration of our teachers, and I have fought very hard to see teachers’ wages rise and their conditions improve to become more flexible and fair. This Carroll-Labor government has neglected teachers, burdening them with heavy workloads, delaying overdue pay rises and forcing them to teach contentious content without the knowledge or consent of parents. Under this incompetent Labor government, schools haven’t been properly upgraded or given the resources they need, and now a brand-new primary school in Clyde North requires millions to be redesigned, at taxpayers’ expense, after it was built without proper classrooms. Debt has skyrocketed after 12 years under Labor, and students are falling behind - one in four children in Victoria can’t read, according to the latest NAPLAN results. A Jess Wilson-led Liberal Party has a plan to deliver excellence in education that will include rewriting and decluttering the Victorian school curriculum, with a much stronger emphasis on core maths, science and literacy. The Coalition government’s plan will back every Victorian student to achieve their full potential at school and provide more support for teachers, and evidence-based learning in every classroom. World Teachers’ Day is more than a celebration – it is a reminder to policymakers that we have the responsibility to ensure our teachers are properly supported to ensure excellence for our students. And the Liberals and Nationals are ready to do just that. Ann-Marie Hermans MP Liberal State Member for South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Leave it as Tanti
The letter from Max Garrard (“Real community”, Letters, 20/10/26), describing his admiration for the Tanti Park Housing Commission estate in Mornington is valid. There is a pleasant ambience around the place. Perhaps it’s the homogeneous nature of the people where nobody is better than the next
fellow; or is it the pleasing layout of the estate with wide streets and footpaths both sides, house blocks of 500 or 600sqm, with a good backyard. Buying this house was a modest price for a modest house, not particularly cheap but interest fixed at 5.5% for 30 or 45 years. I never paid a single dollar to a bank, lawyer, estate agent, insurance company. We had a loan from the government and we repaid the government. All legals, insurance, etc., was organised by the Commission. “You are eligible – here are the keys”. A home is essential for all young couples, a solid base for family life. Best of all, your wife was not forced to work. But there is a bad flaw in Max’s letter. He reckons that Tanti is now called Mornington Park. It is not! Mornington Park is down by the pier. Nobody has ever asked me, a resident of 50 years, if I want a name change. The Tanti name has character and historical significance. Leave it. Some estate agents and others have been trying for years to change the name in order to offset the old stigma that Tanti once had. These people don’t even live here. How utterly stupid to want to call it Mornington Park when such a named place already exists a few kilometres away. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Random act of kindness
To the lovely soul who placed two (carefully wrapped) perfect yellow roses under my windscreen wiper at Centro car park Mornington on Wednesday afternoon 21/10, thank you ! You not only made my day, but your kind gesture has had the flow on effect, like the ripples on a pond. I hope someone makes you feel as special as you did me ! Anna Froelich, Mornington
Barley Charley @ 90+
Bye bye my 91st October, sooner the better. Am I as bright (are U as bright) as you think you are, bank balance not withstanding? Politicians almost all; not to tell their right pocket what their left is thinking. Kindly do not get me started on our politician about “nothing” namely Angus Taylor, attacking our little mate Albo on national security. As a leftie union man Albo had his moments; no Billy Shorten obviously, but intentions nevertheless, which is more than we can say for Taylor, ditto Princess Pauline. All three are rolling in hefty bank balances, recalling an old philosophy of my thinking - the bigger the bank balance the more the holder assumes superiority? Some of my intelligent buddies (90% Liberal voters) at the local RSL never discuss politics. Apparently, there’s a sound reason, yet to discover UNLESS Livius Patavinus, BC; “He had a mind so equally versatile for all things that whatever he was doing, you would say he was born for that one thing alone.” And in Albo’s crowd - “What we’re witnessing is nothing more than a shock and awe lobbying approach by US tech, designed to swamp government decision-making.” Shouldn’t say this; I don’t miss Robert G Menzies but I miss Greg Hunt? The darling schoolies here in downtown (upmarket?) Rye, back to school, reminding myself, safely, to put my rubbish bins out. An election in Victoria, those piercing eyes, Jess Wilson, state budget, community safety/ police, bail laws; promises, promises. Young Jess likely to succeed, promises to the backline (historical) in favour of more attacks; previously hidden Labor faults? Watching television daytime surely for lonely people, and/or nutters, assuming no medical reasons. I thank God, assuming he/she is the reason, for my imaginary friend Barley Charley. Ditto to my intellectual friends, pretenders mostly, but keeping moire toes UP. And to overseas, killings continue, Australia shielded from it all, but for how long, not so far off (seemingly?) from WW3? NO? Okay, old age but praying. Finally, the song - “You can’t always get what you want, but you can try.” Just saying... Cliff Ellen, Rye
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Seaford mystery - Mr Mealmaker missing Compiled by Cameron McCullough Quite a gloom has pervaded Seaford during the last few days, caused by the disappearance of Mr. Mealmaker, a well-known visitor to the township. Mr. Mealmaker has spent practically every weekend at Seaford for some time past, and sometimes stayed for extended periods with Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who reside in the township. On Tuesday morning he set out in the best of spirits for a bathe in the surf. Mr. Jones’ dog accompanied him. Some visitors from Melbourne, noticing his clothes on the sand, and seeing no sign of a bather, became uneasy and an alarm was raised. This was about midday on Tuesday, and up to the present no trace can be found of the unfortunate bather. The case presents some peculiar points which are causing a good deal of discussion. The visitors who first noticed the clothes on the beach could find no trace of foot-prints on the sand between the clothes and the beach. This led to the belief that he had been taken ill or for some other reason had turned into the thick ti-tree which lines the shore. A search in this direction, however, revealed nothing. Mrs. Jones, who refuses to believe the worst, contends that a sudden lapse of memory, or some such unexplainable event, caused him to turn away from the water and wander away. This is not, of course, feasible, as it would be practically impossible for anyone to leave the beach and cross the road anywhere in the locality without being seen, especially as he was
attired only in his bathing costume. Mr. Jones, when interviewed, was not so optimistic. He pointed out that the dog, which still mounted guard over the clothes until they were removed, would assuredly have followed him had he turned from the beach. On Wednesday, the Carrum and Frankston police patrolled the beach from Carrum to Frankston, but no trace of the body was found. This in itself is remarkable, as the missing man was an indifferent swimmer, and if he was drowned the tragedy must have occurred close inshore, and as there was a fairly heavy sea running at the time it is more than probable that the body would come ashore at once. There have been very few drowning fatalities along this beach, which is regarded as a remarkably safe one for bathers, and in the few cases where drowning has occurred the bodies have been recovered. With the strong winds which have prevailed during the week, it seems impossible that a body would be carried out by tide or current. The police and residents are keeping a sharp watch on the beach, and it is hoped that the seeming mystery will be cleared up in a day or two. *** Accident to student A painful accident befell John Nicholls, son of Mr. Nicholls, headmaster of Pearcedale State school, whilst competing in the High school sports on Wednesday. Master Nicholls, when running in the relay race by some means
wrenched the muscles of his thigh. Dr. C. Maxwell who attended him, was unable to definitely define the trouble, but is of the opinion that the muscle has been torn from the thigh bone and that a small portion of the bone has come away with it. An X-ray examination is to be made to determine the extent and nature of the injury. Master Nicholls is at present at the home of Mr. Bishop, headmaster of the local high school. *** Wake Up Frankston! Boosters’ Club Formed The meeting called for Tuesday evening for the purpose of forming a Boosters’ Club was well attended. Enthusiasm was the keynote of the proceedings, and within a few minutes of opening the meeting a motion to the effect that a Boosters’ Club be formed had been submitted and carried, the membership fee fixed at 2/6 per annum, and close on twenty members enrolled. On the motion of Cr. Pratt and Mr. Marshall, Mr. Rogan was, elected president. The election, of officers then proceeded and resulted as follow: Vice-president, Cr. J. L. Pratt; secretary, Mr. C. Parnell; treasurer, Mr. C. Meredith. The president, Mr. Rogan, who has just returned from a tour of Western America was the prime mover in instituting the formation of the club. Wherever Mr. Rogan travelled he took note of the American methods of advertising their centres, and collected some 200 folders and booklets issued by the various towns.
Many of these folders were handed around and excited considerable interest. Mr. Rogan pointed out that many of the American towns where big things had been accomplished, had not anything like the natural advantages which Frankston possesses. In support of the impressions he had gained in his travels, Mr. Rogan read a clipping from the “Herald” which gave the opinions of a recent visitor to Australia. The visitor had said that Australia needs more boost. He had previously known practically nothing of our country and it was only through having been ordered a long sea voyage that he had come to Australia. He was surprised at our splendid tourist attractions. California had placed itself on the map through advertising, and yet we, who had the same or even better facilities for all-the-year-round tourist attractions did little or nothing to let the world know about them. The object of the new club is to advertise Frankston throughout the length and breadth of the state, and further afield if possible. This can be done, and the club intends to do it. There is no doubt that the money expended in advertising our township will come back to us threefold if we will only resolve to carry the thing through. A suggestion was made that the various associations at present operating on similar lines should be merged into one big organisation. Mr. Jewell said that there was a possibility of lukewarm support to the

club, owing to too many associations for the betterment of the town, being formed. Mr. Pope supported this view. He said that there were so many meetings to attend that it was impossible to keep in touch with them all. In addition to this, there was a good deal of overlapping in the objects of the associations. Naturally, very little concrete business could be done on the first night, and most of the evening was devoted to the receiving and recording of suggestions which can be worked upon at the next meeting. *** Personal The many friends of Mrs. J. Nott Marsh will be pleased to learn that she is recovering from her recent serious operation, and is leaving the Women’s Hospital this week, although she will not return home for some little time. Constable Addison, who was formerly stationed at Frankston, has received notice of his transfer from Myrtleford to Belgrave. Mr. and Mrs. P. Wheeler, who have been absent for some time on a trip to England, returned to Melbourne on the s.s. “Themistocles” on Wednesday. Mrs. J. D. Jennings is expected to return to Frankston in the early part of next week. Mrs. Jennings has been absent in England for nearly three years, and will no doubt notice a marked change in the township on her return. *** From the Pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 29 October 1926

Baden Powell on top of Provincial after four rounds MPCA MENS
By Cameron McCullough
PROVINCIAL
WILD weather wreaked havoc on the cricket on Saturday with two of the four games in Provincial Division abandoned due to rain. Mornington are still to notch a win in the 26/27 season after a close loss to Red Hill. A number of Mornington’s batters stood up in their innings, but there were also three batters out for single figures, and two ducks in the mix. Charlie Parker top scored for Mornington before being bowled by Harrison Borthwick for 45 runs. The side didn’t quite make it through the full 40 overs before running out of wickets with 161 on the board. In response, Red Hill had some solid starts and Henry Riddle top scored for the side with 38 not out. In the end they passed the total with just a little more than an over to spare, and with a single wicket in hand. Sorrento would have been feeling confident in getting the win against Dromana after posting an impressive total but still fell short. Corey Harris was easily the best for the Sharks, falling just short of a century with 98. His team was well supported by Mitchell Bench who scored 45 runs off 42 balls, and a swashbuckling 48 not out off 31 balls by Dimitri Mascarenhas, including two fours and three sixes. Batting out the full term, Sorrento ended up on 4/237. In response, Dromana’s openers showed some form with Beau Anthony scoring 23 off 20 balls, and captain Bobby Wilson 55 off 53 balls. The star of Dromana’s innings, though, was Udara Ravindu who shone. He scored 114 not out from 101 balls, with 13 fours and two sixes. They passed Sorrento’s total at the beginning of the 39th over with the loss of just five wickets. The first abandoned game for the day was the Old Peninsula versus Langwarrin clash. Old Peninsula won the toss and elected to bat. They got to 6/192 batting out their full 40 overs, and Langwarrin came to the crease for the chase. The Kangaroos got off to a slow start before the game was abandoned in the seventh over at 2/39. The other abandoned game was Pines versus Baden Powell. Pines won the toss and elected to bat. They played out their full 40 overs and managed 168 runs. Pat Jackson was their best with 43 runs off 42 balls. In response, Baden Powell’s run rate was far too low for a win, and the team were saved by the weather in the 12th over at 2/42.
PENINSULA
MT Eliza fell short in their game against Rosebud. Mt Eliza won the toss and decided to send Rosebud in to bat. The middle order stood up for Rosebud, with Patrick Nagel top scoring with 68 runs not out as they batted out their full 40 with the figures of 6/178. In response, Mt Eliza’s openers both fell cheaply before Lahiru Opatha came to the crease and showed form with 57 runs before being caught out. Pawan Dias Edirisinghe top scored for the side with 70 off 73 balls, but
PAGE 24
Frankston Times
it wasn’t quite enough. The side made it through the allotted overs with one wicket in hand, but still 12 runs short of Rosebud’s total. Somerville suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of Long Island. Somerville were sent in to bat first, and their openers failed to fire. Third batter Nick Mann top scored with 32 off 61 balls, and Daniel Rogers managed 27 and Taj Duggan 21. Batting out their overs, Somerville ended up with figures of 9/141. In response, both of Long Island’s opening batters made solid starts, both notching 28 runs. Michael Burke had another good week, top scoring for his side with 42 not out off 67 as they passed Somerville’s total in the 38th over with the loss of just five wickets. The Heatherhill versus Balnarring clash ended up being abandoned, but not before Balnarring batted first and posted figures of 7/202. Jake Hewitt was the best for Balnarring with 47 not out off 51 balls, and three other Balnarring batters made it into their 30s. In response, Heatherhill were 0/59 at the end of the 12th over when the elements made continued play impossible. The Crib Point versus Seaford clash was abandoned without play.
DISTRICT
BONEO had an easy win over Tyabb. Tyabb struggled with the bat with only a handful of batters getting starts. Tyler Regan was the standout for the side with 56 not out, albeit off 106 balls. They were all out with just a couple of balls to go, and posted figures of 10/160. In response, Boneo did it easily. Despite opener Caolan O’Connor falling for a golden duck, at the other end, vice-captain Sam Fowler managed 70 runs off 60 balls. There were no other stand-outs for Boneo, but the foundation was set and they passed Tyabb’s total in the 30th over. Moorooduc had a good win over Flinders. Moorooduc batted first and had a lot
27 October 2026
of single figure scores on their sheet. The innings was made by the performance of Nick Williams who scored 86 runs for his side, including seven fours and five sixes. The next best was Michael Whincup who managed 32 not out off 40 balls. The side finished on 7/172 after their 40 overs. In response, the openers got off to a good start for Flinders with Hudson Blake managing 40 runs before being caught out by Benjamin Williams. The other opener, Max Wilkinson, managed 21 runs. Much further down the order, Luke Reynolds also put on 29 not out off 33 runs. It wasn’t enough though, and Flinders ran out of wickets in the 38th over still 17 runs short of Moorooduc’s total. The Seaford Tigers and Carrum clash was abandoned early in Carrum’s chase. Seaford batted out their full 40 overs, getting to 9/186. Karanbir Singh was the best for Seaford Tigers with 46 off just 34 balls including five fours and one six. In response, Carrum only made it through two overs and had the figures of 0/5 when the game was called off. Rye posted a score of 9/176 in their game against Carrum Downs. The highlight of their innings was Manu Goraya’s 70 runs off 69 balls. In response, it was slow going for Carrum Downs who were saved by the gods, with weather stopping play after the 27th over with the Cougars well short at 3/98.
SUB DISTRICT
MT Martha are on the top of the MPCA Sub District table after a win over Frankston YCW. Mt Martha won the toss and elected to bat. The batters for the side showed some depth, with all but two getting into double figures. Mikis Vemis high scored with 43 not out as they got to 6/172 off the full 40 overs. In response, one of the Stonecats’ openers failed to fire with one from 20 balls before going out. At the other end, Jason Bedford put on 49 from 52.
The innings was supported by a strong 39 not out by Aaron Barrett, but it wasn’t enough and while the Stonecats batted out their full 40 overs, they ended up 23 runs short of the total. Baxter had an easy win against Pearcedale. The Panthers batted first but the openers failed to fire, both back in the shed for four runs each. Next came a duck by Daniel Mitchell before the middle order started to find some form. Tim Dudgeon top scored for the side with 29 runs, and captain Stefan Bock was not far behind on 28. The lower order didn’t show much support, with the final two batters out for a duck and a golden duck respectively. In the end the best they could do was 130 runs at the end of the 36th over. In response, Baxter did it with ease. Openers Todd Quinn and Mark Cooper scored 25 and 33 respectively, and the next three batters all posted decent starts before they passed Pearcedale’s total in the 19th over with the loss of just three wickets. Skye smashed Ballam Park in their clash. Winning the toss, Ballam Park decided to send Skye in to bat. A couple of Skye’s batters stood up for the side with Patrick Beckham scoring 69 runs off 85 balls, including four fours and three sixes, and Trav Campbell scoring 72 not out off 72 balls. They batted out their full 40 with figures of 5/231. In response, none of Ballam Park’s batters fired. Opener Bradley Jones was out for a duck, and at the other end, Yamun Yadev managed just 12. The team’s top scorer was Bill Biggs who managed 21 runs off 59 balls. In the end, Ballam Park ran out of batters in the 36th over with just 96 runs on the boards, 135 runs short of Skye’s total. Main Ridge got the win over Tootgarook in a rain-affected game. Delacombe Park had a bye. *** Due to the wild weather on Sunday, all MPCA womens’ cricket matches in Provisional, Peninsula and District Divisions were abandoned.

The Scoreboard
Strikers boys are back in town SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie GETTING the gang back together could be the underlying theme of the return to the coaching helm of one of Peninsula Strikers’ favourite sons in Scott Morrison. In just one season what were highly competitive senior and reserve programs at Centenary Park collapsed this year with the seniors being relegated to State 3 South-East and the reserves finishing last. Morrison had taken a year-long sabbatical to concentrate on family matters and could only watch despairingly as the club lurched towards an unhappy season finale. As soon as he decided to return to football and specifically to Strikers his successors’ days were numbered. In the blink of an eye this year’s head coach Ross Walliss and assistant Ben Sharland were thanked for their services and Morrison was back where he belongs. Since then Strikers have been involved in a signing flurry with Wayne “Buzzer’ Gordon, Stevie Elliott, Ben Caballero, Jai Power, Jamie Davidson, Matt Harrington, Josh Botha, Danny Brooks, Jacob Pay, Jordy May, Hayden Schreck and Max Civil all agreeing terms for next season with many more to come. Morrison’s assistants are Jason Symonds with veteran Gordon a playing assistant and as the club gears up for next year’s 60th anniversary celebrations the onfield outlook is positive. We sat down with the Strikers’ gaffer to talk about the job ahead and he also gave us an insight into how he evaluates players and the qualities he looks for. Q1: You are involved in a major rebuild of the senior and reserves squads. How did that need come about? SM: Obviously at the end of the 2025 season my leaving contributed to players moving on. I can’t speak about how things transpired in the off-season or how players were handled leading into 2026. Just let’s say that there was a massive number of players that came through the club last season, boys that were only there for a week or so and then gone again and that’s not a good situation. Like any coach going in you assess what’s there and the situation the club is in. I’ve already said that the club getting relegated and the reserves finishing last is unacceptable so there needs to be change and there needs to be a strong focus on getting both squads back to where they need to be. That means a big rebuild is required across the whole club. We need to get Strikers’ people back – both players and supporters – to help the club and that’s what we are doing with some of our recruiting by talking to boys who love the club and want to come back. That’s a major part of the rebuild and the boys that want to come back so far are the ones that enjoyed the culture that we had created within the group which is really important. Q2. Explain the way you go about signing the players you want. Do you make the initial contact then arrange a meeting with player and club with you in attendance? Do you talk about next
Main men: Stevie Elliott (left) and Danny Brooks are two influential parts of the senior squad that Peninsula Strikers are building for the 2027 season. Pictures: Jordan M. Sport.
season’s goals and the part you see the player can play in achieving them? SM: Yes, that’s pretty close to what happens but we don’t always initiate contact. You often have boys who contact the club or myself and we’ve had quite a few in the off-season reach out to us, boys we want too, ones in the right age bracket coming out of NPL 20s or 23s because they know they will get a crack with us. But of course there are targets that we go after, boys we identified early that we wanted to bring back to the club or bring to the club for the first time. I will normally speak to them first as we have a strong emphasis on signing good people and that has contributed massively to the culture we had and plan to rebuild. I will indicate why we want them to join us, how I see them fitting in, also what they are looking for or hoping to achieve. If our thoughts align we will then set up a meeting at the club with the coaching staff and Adrian (Scialpi, club president) and go into further details. We have so many boys that have fallen out of love with the game, or come through that NPL system or other clubs and it hasn’t worked out the way they thought it would. We love getting those boys in because age isn’t a barrier for us. Quite simply if you are good enough you will play and you will get the opportunity to develop into a senior player. If in a few years’ time a club like Langwarrin or some other higher club comes calling for one of our players then we consider that a win for us. It validates our program and the work we have put in to help that player be the best they can. I imagine it’s similar across the board with clubs in the way they sign players but one thing we do is our homework on the person not just the player. As I’ve said previously we sign good people over good players. Yes they obviously can play but they’ve got to fit into what we are doing. Signing guys who don’t want a bar of the club or its people doesn’t interest me. If you’re coming to Strikers you’re coming to rep-
resent the people behind the badge on your shirt because they will back you in all day long. Q3. Have you locked in a reserves coaching staff and how important is it for the club to have a strong reserves squad? SM: We’re very close to having the reserves coaches sorted, hopefully we can announce something next week. The reserves are just as important as anyone else and I take a very keen interest in them. In fact we will mix in together at training quite a bit at times so there is no us and them. They share a changeroom and they are treated as equals with the senior team. They know they have to earn their stripes but there’s no egos with us. Quite often you will see a Brooksy, Stevie, ‘Buzzer’ working with the young boys, offering advice etc and that’s what we want. We have to have a strong reserves side because we want boys in there really putting the pressure on the senior players and helping to drive standards because they want a spot. We want our juniors coming through to be aiming for the reserves not looking elsewhere because the reserves aren’t what they should be. So a big part of the work being done is making sure our reserves side is strong and so far we’ve had plenty of interest which is exciting. Q4. I know you expect to bounce back and be in the promotion race again but how strong is State 3 and who are the sides to watch out for at this early stage? SM: We won’t be fixating on promotion as it’s too easy to get bogged down on that. Yes we want to win games and get the club back on track but we need to make sure we get things right first. We have to build for the future in a sustainable fashion. I believe we will do that and the results will then look after themselves. I don’t want to sound cliched but it will be a tough league as there are plenty of big clubs in there and tough teams. The likes of Hampton Park, Endeavour United, Springvale City plus many others will be up there
so I’m expecting a close comp. Q5. Last off-season the reserves weren’t involved in pre-season preparations before Christmas. Will you involve the reserves in any preChristmas sessions? SM: Yes the reserves will 100% be involved from the first night back on 19th November. As I said above they are just as important and there is plenty of work to be done there so yes the whole playing group will be on the track before Christmas. I can’t comment on why that didn’t happen last year but even if we didn’t have reserves coaches they would be there and we would make it work. Our young players need to feel the love just as much as the older ones. But we will have reserves coaches and I expect good numbers. Q6. Finally when you are assessing players what different attributes do you look for in goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards? SM: I think for goalkeepers you want confidence, someone who commands the box and communicates clearly. Someone who is comfortable with what’s ahead of him and we are lucky to have back some experienced defenders who will help with that. Also keepers have to be good with the ball at their feet. Benny (Caballero) ticks all those boxes for me and I’m expecting a big year from him. I think with defenders these days there’s almost more of a focus on how they play out with the ball rather than what their actual job is and that’s to defend. Our defensive record in 2024 and 2025 was outstanding and that’s because we had very good defenders, tough, brave and who read the game well. I like fullbacks who can get up and down and support the forward players and be creative too. We do a lot of work on our defensive structure, different scenarios if we are caught out of shape and how we cover it, important roles for different players and what’s most important in those situations. All our defenders can play good football, it’s making sure the decision making is correct in when to do it and when not to. Our midfielders need to be hard workers, have quality with the ball and a bit of mongrel about them. They’ve got to be brave with the football. We don’t want to play backwards, we want to get forward and hurt teams, work hard to get on the ball and use it well. Our forwards will have a good mix with speed and quality in front of goal. Their movement and positioning has to be good and something we work a lot on as there needs to be an understanding across the whole side of how we want to get forward. We don’t want players to be robots, we want them to make good decisions with the football and be brave with it, but there is a lot of work that goes into making sure we have an understanding of the movements and timing as we get out and up the pitch. Sometimes less is more for attackers. Just do your thing, use your strengths whether that’s speed, dropping in and getting out, but we make sure they understand each other’s strengths and hopefully utilise them.
