RATES TO RISE

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council is charging an extra 1.5 per cent rates hike in the upcoming financial year as part of the 2021-22 council budget, which was endorsed on Monday night.

The new budget is delivering services at existing levels within this rates increase, off the back of a zero per cent rates increase in last year’s budget to help weather the community through

COVID. The budget takes into account the costs of the first full year of operating the newly opened Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre and soon-to-be opened Gippsland Performing Arts Centre, both located in Traralgon.

However, it warns that these operating costs, along with a limited ability to increase revenue, will present “some significant financial challenges” into maintaining existing services in the future.

The budget states that “this will become even more difficult in the future as power generators, which contribute a significant proportion of council’s rates revenue, begin to cease operations”.

Latrobe City councillor Graeme Middlemiss praised the new budget at council’s June meeting, describing it as a “masterful piece of financial engineering”.

“There have been no losses of services for the coming year, it’s effectively

business as usual for the community.To achieve (this) within the constraints we are facing is a tremendous effort,” Cr Middlemiss said.

“On achieving this, there will be costs, but the community can be quite happy that within this 1.5 per cent rates increase nothing really changes for the services they will receive.”

RESTRICTIONS for regional Victoria will ease further tonight as Melbourne’s lockdown also comes to an end.

From 11.59pm, a number of fresh changes to the restrictions are set to come into effect.

A cap of two adults per day, plus their dependants are allowed to visit your home.

Public gatherings will increase from 10 people to a maximum of 20 people.

Restaurants and cafes can have a maximum of 150 people per venue for seated service, with up to 75 allowed indoors.

Community sports are back for all ages for both training and competitions, however the Gippsland, Mid Gippsland and North Gippsland footballnetball leagues announced this week they will not be playing on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

Indoor sport, including gyms, will also be able to reopen with limits on the number of people permitted at any point in time to be announced.

Regional Victorians will still be able to travel around regional Victoria, Melburnians will not, however Acting Premier James Merlino said these restrictions are expected to be removed in the next week.

“Subject to the public health advice, the epidemiological conditions through the next week, we expect to be next Thursday night, the regional-metro divisions will come down and we’ll be able to travel more freely around the state again,” Mr Merlino said.

One new locally acquired COVID-19 case was reported in Victoria, taking the state’s total of active cases to 83.

A total of 28,485 test results were received in the previous 24-hour period.

As of yesterday, 19,533 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered, lifting the state’s total to 697,903.

THE union representing paper and pulp workers has won a campaign to ensure that all federal government agencies must procure Australianmanufactured office paper.

CFMEU manufacturing had received confirmation from the Department of Finance that Commonwealth suppliers must now offer only Aussie-made paper.

It comes as a Senate hearing revealed that the Commonwealth had only purchased 33 per cent of Australian-made copy paper last year at the height of pandemic restrictions.

Senator Kim Carr had found that a government supplier had dumped Aussie paper and switched to paper made in Indonesia.

CFMEU manufacturing national secretary Michael O’Connor said “it was a great victory” for union members who had campaigned on the issue.

“The change is a big boost to job security at the Maryvale mill and a credit to the unrelenting campaigning and activism of union members,” Mr O’Connor said.

“This victory is a lesson in never giving up and working across the Parliament.”

Mr O’Connor said the union would continue to scrutinise the Commonwealth to ensure it met its commitments on procurement policies.

The union will also campaign for all state governments to match the policy.

Mr O’Connor said the union was backing local jobs by ensuring state and federal governments procured Aussie-made paper, building products and textiles, clothing and footwear.

He said this also included “tackling cheap imports with anti-dumping laws”.

The campaign was supported by Member for Gippsland Darren Chester who said he had been a long term advocate for all federal ministers and government departments to use Australian paper.

“This is a great win for our region with strong ties to the country’s timber and paper industries.

This decision will support many jobs in our region including around 1000 at the Maryvale mill,” he said.

“I’ve always bought Gippsland paper for my offices and encouraged others to do the same because I support local jobs in an environmentally sustainable industry.”

weekends later in the year (whether it be AFL grand final or Melbourne Cup weekend),” he said.

“Having a four day weekend with a really huge advertising campaign from state government to really promote travelling and visiting Gippsland later on in the year would be fantastic.

“Let’s use some common sense, let’s ensure we don’t miss out on such a great holiday and let’s create what would be a super weekend later on in the year, we get out of winter when the sun starts shining and really encourage people to travel here and put money into those hard hit sectors.”

Moving forward he hopes industry will have a clearer idea of what they are entitled to when a COVID-19 lockdown strikes.

“All support given from government is definitely welcome, but what we must see though is a really clear plan so that for any future lockdowns businesses will know what they can receive to take out the anxiety of owning a business,” he said.

“It is a really tough time at the moment not knowing when, what and how they will be able to open so therefore let’s have a really clear roadmap for the next time a lockdown happens we know what is going on.”

THIS Queen’s Birthday long weekend was set to provide a major boost for regional businesses who are still on the road to recovery from what was a brutal 2020.

However, as a sense of normality was just beginning to return to Victorians, the state was again slapped with a COVID-19 outbreak causing a fourth lockdown and leaving Melburnians unable to travel to regional areas for the holiday weekend.

Traralgon Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Luke Henderson said this served as a major blow on local Gippsland business.

“Gippsland being such a fantastic place to live we really rely on people coming out of Melbourne and travelling far east to enjoy the lakes, the snow and the beautiful towns that we have,” he said.

“With them not coming in it definitely has a major impact on local businesses, and it is a real shame that the public holiday will be effected by it.”

Now facing a public holiday without the desired boost from tourists, Mr Henderson said businesses will be forced into deciding whether it feasible to open on Monday.

“This public holiday is a real nuisance for our retail, hospitality and tourism sectors, and they would definitely prefer it to be delayed if not cancelled,” he said.

“The fact is that these businesses will have to make a decision on what is best for their current circumstances, those sectors have just been so hit recently and they can’t afford to be paying out money that they just don’t have at the moment, the piggy banks are dry and they need to ensure they can stay open for the long run.”

Advance Morwell president John Guy envisages a lot of local businesses will be closing their doors as a result of the increased penalty rates.

“As a result of this latest lockdown and not having Melburnians travel into regional Victoria I think a lot of local businesses won’t open,” Mr Guy said.

“Motels, cafés and anyone in the service industry have certainly felt the effect of it (this lockdown) and were looking for some relief over the long weekend which unfortunately now will not be able to happen.”

Mr Henderson said a rescheduling of this holiday would bring some much needed relief.

“The business community would much prefer to see (this holiday) tacked onto one of the long

Major outage at Yallourn has been delayed ENERGYAUSTRALIA has delayed a major outage at the Yallourn Power Station by twoand-a-half months.

Work was supposed to have commenced on the station’s Unit 2 on July 1, but has now been set back to mid-September. The company expects the outage to be finished in mid-December.

“There are a few reasons behind the delay, but the main reason is that we needed more time to undertake the structural engineering work to

support the new primary economiser installation,” an EnergyAustralia statement said.

“We will use the next few months to continue to prepare for this outage, including ensuring we are as ready as we can be, learning all the lessons from last year’s outage.”

The delayed shut means it will no longer coincide with another major outage at Loy Yang A. “(This) is positive for security of supply and will ease the pressure on constrained resources

to service the two outages,” the statement said.

“Our various teams have now commenced work through the implications of this delay.This decision is core to our strategy of running Yallourn safely and reliably through to mid-2028.”

EnergyAustralia has assembled a transition team to look at worker employment and economic opportunities in the region in the lead up to the planned closure of Yallourn in mid-2028.

WHILE hospitality businesses across regional Victoria rejoiced at last week’s announcements of relaxed COVID-19 restrictions, not all were blessed with the ability to instantly swing their doors open to their eager customers.

Thorpdale’s Travellers Rest Hotel unfortunately fell into this category, with a variety of factors coming as a result of the week-long snap lockdown making it not feasible to open instantly like other establishments in the Latrobe Valley and wider Gippsland area.

Slated to open this Saturday, hotel manager Adrian Thompson explained the reasons behind the delay.

“It is a matter of operations, because of the shut-down last week we weren’t able to get food deliveries so therefore we have to wait until this weekend to get everything that we need to function,” Mr Thompson said.

“Then over and above receiving the deliveries, all the food needs to be prepared for cooking so it is just one of those things where we just didn’t want to rush it to get open before that, but that is the main reason.”

He detailed the response of the public to this delayed re-opening.

“It has been a bit of a mixed reaction, I think it is all about managing expectation and communication so we have constantly been getting that question of why aren’t you re-opening straight away,” he said.

“It is just helping them understand the functionality of the fact we can’t just throw the doors open, it is also the understanding whenever places are able to open we are a much smaller business so we don’t have the capacity of food storage like a bigger venue might.”

When it comes to navigating through these periods of ceased operation, Mr Thompson said the hotel’s top priority is looking after its staff.

“It (looking after our staff) is probably our biggest struggle as a really small business, we have 12 staff and unfortunately two of them we have had to stand down for this period of time, while the rest are casual so there was just no work for them,” he said.

“It is the toughest thing for us, because being part of the local community is offering that work to local people so we are doing everything we can to get open again so we can make that up to them.

“We have offered the two people we stood down the opportunity to use annual leave and our hope is that after we re-open we are so busy that hours will increase and we can make up for that lost time.”

Moving forward, he said these lockdowns are something the industry has to assume will be recurring.

“It (the impact) is the same as the previous lockdown I think, you have to really prepare for the fact that this is going to happen more often than we would like,” he said.

“We are still a new business so we are still building our team and our operations so it has put a halt on that, it does make you as a business rethink about your options and new ideas you can utilise the next time it (lockdown) happens.”

Currently deep in planning for the re-opening,

Mr Thompson said he is expecting strong attendance across the Queen’s Birthday weekend.

“We are hoping within the limitations of the restrictions we will have a full 50-person capacity for the majority of the weekend,” he said.

“Being closed for two weeks we are hoping people want to come back after the brief lay-off, we have a very supportive local community and they have already reached out to see when we are going to re-open so I am confident we will see a strong showing.”

Council announces a rate rise in budget Continued from page 1

Cr Middlemiss pointed to financial constraints associated with past borrowings and costs associated with developing and operating large scale projects, foreshadowing “tightened” finances further on.

He also nodded to another $13 million loss in revenue into the next decade associated with last year’s rates freeze.

“You can’t have these great new facilities without operating costs, and you can’t get them without borrowing extra money,” he said.

The budget includes almost $32 million in

capital works programs, incorporating $1.8 million in capital grants with no new borrowings.

But council will be drawing on a $10 million state government community infrastructure loan to fund the $7.5m Moe Rail Precinct Revitalisation project and $2.5 million Kernot Hall upgrade.

Differential rates for farms and derelict properties also remain in place, but residents will be faced with a near $20 per-tonne landfill levy increase, as directed by the state government.

Latrobe Combined History Group came out a winner from this year’s budget after asking for an extra $500 annual grant increase to run each of the six district historical societies.

New service station given green light by Latrobe City

YES

PRIME

By MICHELLE SLATER

LATROBE City Council has given the nod for a large scale petrol station to be built on the Princes Highway between Morwell and Traralgon.

The planning application includes a servo with a convenience shop, car wash and vacuuming facilities, and includes landscaping, 20 car parks and two truck parking bays.

The proposed development on the corner of Bradford Drive to the north of the highway will operate 24 hours, seven days a week, with two staff members’ onsite at one time.

Latrobe City councillors approved the application which comes with 50 conditions relating to amenity, landscaping, stormwater, noise as well as VicRoads entry and access requirements.

Cr Dan Clancey spoke in favour for the development, but had called it in to “give it some public eyes” at Latrobe City’s June meeting due to the large scale nature of the project.

“This is a large development. I have no problems with it going ahead with council officers’ recommendations. It’s a good development,” Cr Clancey said.

“It connects the Traralgon, Morwell growth corridor.”

The application received two objections raising

Planning documents state that the design is “typical of a service station” and is “ideally located for this style of development” sited to minimise impacts on surrounding agriculture.

It also stated that a new service station would “increase economic diversity and resilience” to the region by “introducing a new business onto land identified for a future planned activity centre”.

Arrival of snow season

In full swing: Preparations have been near perfect for the Mount Baw Baw staff as they welcome the public onto the slopes for the first time this year.

By ZAC STANDISH

SKIERS and snowboarders will be greeted to ideal conditions this weekend as the state’s alpine resorts open their gates to begin the 2021 snow season.

While Melburnians will not be able to join in on proceedings due to the latest COVID-19 lockdown, the team at Mount Baw Baw are encouraging regional Victorians to come and enjoy what they are predicting will be one of the best opening weekends in recent memory.

Mount Baw Baw marketing co-ordinator Amon Bradshaw said preparations are running smoothly for what is set to be a bumper Queen’s Birthday holiday.

“In terms of preparation it is almost perfect, we have had the best snow making season possibly ever the snow factories and snow guns produced a lot of snow and now we have got this massive storm coming through,” Mr Bradshaw said.

“From our end when it comes to snow and

preparations it is probably the best the resort has ever had.”

These preparations are set to be buoyed by the timely storm currently wreaking havoc over south-east Australia. Live snow cameras showed no snow on Monday morning, but by Tuesday a thick blanket had descended on the mountain.

“We started receiving heavy and on-going snow on Tuesday with a predicted 60cm by the end of Wednesday and a Thursday forecast that could potentially double that,” he said. “(For the week) we could top a metre, we could end up with around 50cm, it is set up to be that Thursday will be the key day.”

With so much snow forecast, he said the team will be able to open up more of the mountain than usual for opening weekend.

“Typically opening weekend will just be manmade snow areas so we are talking Hut Run, the beginner lesson areas and that is our base line, but with this latest snowfall we do have hopes we can open more terrain than we are used to,” he said.

and stiffer lungs and blood vessels in exposed children.

But further testing is essential to see if those health effects have persisted, worsened, or improved.

ELF Study manager Marita Dalton said the “ground-breaking study” would help understand if children’s long-term health and development was influenced by air pollution from the mine fire.

“It is important that as many enrolled children as possible participate, regardless of whether or not they did the first round of clinical testing in 2017,” she said.

“This will add to information we have already gathered about the possible impacts of the 2014 mine fire on very young children.”

Families are being offered a $30 gift voucher and children offered a healthy snack and a toy.

The tests are being conducted at the Monash Rural Health rooms at Federation University, Churchill, and the clinic will run until late June.

Appointments are available from Wednesdays to Sundays including some evenings.

To book, phone 1800 322 102 or email latrobe. elf@utas.edu.au.

LATROBE Valley families are being encouraged to take part in a second round of clinical testing to track the health impacts of the 2014 Hazelwood mine fire on young children.

The Latrobe Early Life Follow-up Study, is a part of the long-term Hazelwood Health Study, looking at 548 very young children who were exposed to the mine fire smoke.

A large number of children who were enrolled in the study underwent non-invasive clinical testing of their heart and lung health in 2017.

The next round of clinical tests is now taking place to look at the longer-term impacts of the mine fire.

The new round is open to all those who completed the initial survey, and those who were unavailable or were too young to be tested in 2017. It will repeat previous tests with an added blood test to assess allergic responses.

Families will get a report indicating if their child is allergic to anything.

Enrolled families are being encouraged to book in quickly as the testing centre will only be open for a limited time.

The first round of testing revealed evidence of a link between higher mine fire smoke exposure

it is a five million person market compared to a couple of hundred thousand in Gippsland so it is a significant percentage of the ski tourism we receive,” he said.

“At the moment we have had to refund a lot of people from Melbourne so we are really going hard to encourage regional Victorians to get up to Mount Baw Baw and enjoy it before the rush we will receive once the lockdown is lifted.”

For those thinking of heading up to the mountain this winter, Mr Bradshaw had this message.

“We would definitely encourage anyone who is thinking of coming up to book in advance, it (booking in advance) is an important thing season just because of COVID and it makes things faster at the gate, so go online and get that done if you can,” he said.

“We are expecting a lot of sold out days this season once people from Melbourne are back out in the field, so to ensure you don’t miss out due to capacity restrictions get in early and enjoy what we hope is a bumper season.”

“I can’t specifically say what that will be right now, but essentially we should have really good news later in the week regarding the opening of more terrain and it could be really good conditions so people just need to keep an eye out for announcements later in the week.”

With people unable to attend the snow last year due to COVID-19 restrictions, Mr Bradshaw said the resort has already received an influx of bookings.

“Up until very recently (due to the lockdown) people have been very positive and hopeful of a really great season,” he said.

“Bookings were up significantly from what they usually are, accommodation was pretty much sold out for every weekend through the season where it doesn’t usually this early before the season, so it was really shaping to be a great start to the season.”

He said the current lockdown serves as a bump in the road ahead of the impending snow season.

“This lockdown of Melbourne is a pretty big slap,

VISION impaired Traralgon man Phillip Chalker is looking to turn his love for dogs into a successful business, having recently begun offering pet sitting services to the local community.

Mr Chalker has long been an advocate for people with disabilities, and hopes this latest venture will prove that there are no limitations when it comes to following your passion.

Speaking with The Express, he explained why he decided to get involved with pet sitting.

“I was looking for a job and having a disability it is hard to find work out there these days, no matter how many job agencies you go to, so I thought okay let’s give it a try,” Mr Chalker said.

“I have also got my diploma of community services, becoming an independent support worker, so that comes into it as well as I really just want to share my love for dogs with the community and offer a service I am passionate about.”

Having had Seeing Eye dog Roddy as a loyal companion since 2013, Mr Chalker said his passion for canines runs deep.

“Dogs have always been very special to me and as it says on my profile I will treat your dog like my very own,” he said.

“I was the one who got the fenced-up dog run put in Traralgon in 2017 also, so you could definitely say I am an extremely passionate dog person who not only helps my own dogs, but those throughout the community.”

If you are in need of a pet sitter, there are a

number of factors that separate him from the average carer.

“I am unique by having a disability, so by giving me a chance you will be helping me with my employment and you know I will take care of the dogs to the absolute best of my ability,” he said.

“In terms of activities they get to play with my dog, we’ll throw a ball around the house and they can snuggle up with me on the couch and watch movies (depending on how big it is!!), the environment we create is just full of love.

“I also offer grooming, having a Seeing Eye dog we get trained in how to brush and wash them, I even have an outdoor shower where I can wash people’s dogs so I really am offering a complete and caring service.”

This service is just a small example of the incredible contribution people with disabilities, with Mr Chalker stressing just how important it is to support them as they chase their employment endeavours.

“We have the rights to work like everybody else and be noticed out there in the community as well,” he said.

“There might be barriers but again there are ways to overcome things, so all employers need to open up their eyes to people with disabilities and give them a go out there rather than say they are not able or willing to do it.”

Flavours of the world showcased in cookbook

By TOM GANNON

CLIENTS at Gippsland Multicultural Services (GMS) in Morwell were grinning from ear to ear last month at the official launch of their new cookbook Recipes from Around the World.

The cookbook features the best recipes from 28 of the service’s diverse range of clients, including photos of the dish and an explanation behind their significance.

GMS chief executive officer Tania Ryan said the idea for the cook book came about during last year’s COVID lockdowns as a way for the service’s clients to continue engaging in activities.

“It was an opportunity through COVID to collect and engage people in activities by not just submitting recipes, but it’s a collection of culture and tradition that’s been captured through their recipes and experiences,” she said.

Ms Ryan highlighted that many of the contributed recipes had only ever been passed down verbally so for many it was the first time y recipes p had been p their traditional family put on paper “Often they were veerbal recipes wn, there was that were handed dow out nothing on paper so working w ingredients and amounts were part of the experience,” she said.

“It also offered peop ple a way to capture those famiily recipes and share them with h their own families.”

Direct Care workerr Helen Perikkentis, who haills from Cyprus, submitted her Flaounes (Cyprioot Easter Bread) recipe and said the cookboook made for a great experience.

“It felt fantastic, I really enjoyed it, I never thought it would come out this good, it’s really great,” she said. d Ms Perikkentis said she was compelled too contribute a recipe ass a way of sharing her culture with others.

his recipe has been passed “It’s our culture, th to my mother from my m grandmother, and this is something that’s going back many, many hundreds of years,” she said.

“It’s really fantastic that people get an he recipe and get an idea of opportunity to try th other culturess and what their recipes are.” pport co-ordinator Gina Social sup Symonds, who w played an important he creation of the cookbook role in th he couldn’t be happier with said sh nal product. the fin m so proud of every “I am persoon who’s contributed to the coookbook, there’s nothing that makes me happier than ng the smiles on their faces seein wheen they open up and see mselves as the star of the them boook,” she said.

“IIt’s a great mix of recipes, theere are recipes that are eassy, hard, sweet, savoury, speecial occasion foods, there’s someething for everybody.”

Warm welcome at Woorabinda

DRIVERS entering Woorabinda School Camp in Yallourn North will notice new timber gates welcoming them to the camps grounds.

The Tasmanian oak gates have been manufactured by Gippsland Timber Gates, with timber sourced from local mills.

Gippsland Timber Gates owner Paul Kelly created and installed the gates himself, much to the delight of all at Woorabinda.

Woorabinda has been enjoyed by countless schoolchildren over the years.

The new gates will add an aesthetically pleasing element to the camp, replacing the tired looking rope-chain set up that was in its place previously.

Woorabinda grounds manager Dave Alldridge said the front entrance was is in process of being landscaped.

Mr Alldridge oversees close to 400 acres of land at Woorabinda, which is home to an array of wildlife and takes in dense bush land around Lake Narracan.

Upgrade: A new timber gate was recently installed at Woorabinda School Camp, Yallourn North. Welcoming the addition is Gippsland Timber Gates owner Paul Kelly and Woorabinda grounds manager Dave Alldridge. photograph liam durkin

THE Morwell Historical Society invites you to our next open day (provided our gathering complies with any COVID restrictions that are in place) on Wednesday, June 16 between 11am and 2pm followed by our general meeting at 2pm and our guest speaker at 3pm.

All members and the general public are very welcome to attend.

Our guest speaker will be one of our own members, Laurie Williams.

Laurie was a former editor of the Hazelwood Drum, a weekly newsletter circulated through Hazelwood Power Station for seven years.

He then joined SEC CONTACT as a journalist before joining Perth Glory as a columnist with their weekly program before returning to Gippsland where he served time as publicity officer with the Mid Gippsland Football League, Central Gippsland Cricket Association and the Latrobe Valley Soccer League.

He has been a regular contributor with the Latrobe Valley Express for over 40 years.

Laurie will give us an insight into his latest book “Gone but not Forgotten” which tells the story of over 76 Gippsland Football clubs that no longer exist.

There are another 30 clubs in Gippsland that did exist but they will be detailed in a future book.

Laurie has also written five other books on football which are: From the Ashes, the history of the Mid Gippsland Football League 1935-1975, The Mirboo North FC Centenary Book, The history of the Traralgon Police Boys Football Club 1955-1993, Gippsland Football Facts and Figures and the Maryvale FC Reunion Book.

He is currently researching information on the lost teams of Gippsland Soccer and the Latrobe Cricket Club.

Come and listen to Laurie and find out where, how and why he started writing books about football clubs, how he researches his information and how all this research gets compiled into a book.

You don’t only have to be a footy fan to be intrigued, come and join us to hear Laurie’s journey.

For any queries please contact Bruce on 0428 528 464.

Voodoo variant remains a hot topic

Impacts of closures in regional Victoria

PROTECTING public health must be the priority, but after more than 12 months the Labor Government has no excuse not to have a way forward that keeps us safe, while minimising the social, economic and community impacts of outbreaks on regions that are COVID-free.

Our small businesses were just starting to get back on their feet after last year’s lockdowns – an impact felt even more keenly in Gippsland and the north east after the catastrophic bushfires.

In Mildura – a region six hours from the active cases in Melbourne and with no current active cases – the seven-day lockdown was expected to cost business owners more than $50,000.

At Wangaratta’s Quality Hotel, the week’s losses were expected to top $100,000.

The Marlo Pub – a well-known tourist mecca in East Gippsland, a region devastated by the January 2020 bushfires – expected to take a $70,000 hit for the week the pub was closed.

For the people who rely on a regular pay packet from these local businesses to pay the bills, the closure will leave them finding it even harder to make ends meet. It also put more pressure on essential services to meet the demands of our communities.

Elective surgery waitlists alone were expected to grow by 4000 people in a week of lockdown – on top of the 65,780 Victorians who will wait more than a year for procedures as a result of last year’s cancellations.

This will only continue to get worse while

In the spotlight: Victoria’s chief health officer Professor Brett Sutton has come under scrutiny from letter writer Joseph Lis. file photograph Labor stands by its policy of blanket closures to deal with isolated outbreaks. Victorians have been locked down more than any other state.

In the same time, New South Wales has been able to get isolated outbreaks under control without statewide shutdowns. NSW’s good contact tracing, bolstered by adequate resourcing and a strong QR code process, has spared families and businesses in regions with no active cases of COVID-19 from the sweeping devastation of lockdown.

Victorians deserve no less.

But more than 12 months and four lockdowns later, Victoria’s Labor Government still has no plan and no solutions to deal with outbreaks other than lockdowns that unleash total economic devastation on the entire state.

Like all Victorians, regional Victorians have done everything that has been asked of us – we stayed at home, we sacrificed time with family and friends.

But with each snap closure it becomes harder and harder for businesses – and communities – to bounce back.

Peter Walsh, Leader of The Nationals

Thanks for the support

I WOULD like to sincerely thank members of your community for their generous support of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. More than 4600 Victorians have already signed up to host an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event in 2021 to help people affected by cancer.

Our amazing Victorian supporters have so far raised more than $1 million, with monies

still rolling in. While the official day to hold an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event was May 27, people can host anytime until the end of June.

All funds raised from Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea events across our state will go towards Cancer Council’s lifesaving cancer research, vital information and support services, and cancer prevention programs.

Some examples of how this money makes a difference to those affected by cancer include: Funding some of Victoria’s brightest researchers and their cutting-edge projects.

Supporting prevention programs such as Quit, SunSmart and screening programs to make sure people have all the information they need to cut their risk of cancer.

Staffing Cancer Council’s support and information line 13 11 20 with experienced cancer nurses who are there to assist all people affected by cancer.

National fundraising income for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea dropped by more than $9.6 million in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. By hosting or attending a morning tea, or donating to Cancer Council Victoria, you will help us support the 36,000 Victorians who are diagnosed with cancer each year.

For more information or to register, visit www. biggestmorningtea.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85.

If you are unable to host or attend an event, you can still donate to Cancer Council Victoria at www.biggestmorningtea.com.au.

Thank you for your support.

Lyrian Fleming-Parsley, Cancer Council Victoria head of fundraising and communications

Barbecue thwarted, but it will return

THANK you so much for promoting the Thank You To Our Local Businesses in Morwell CBD barbecue which sadly didn’t happen on May 28 due to the lockdown.

The enforced shutdown of the people we intended to thank and acknowledge will set them back even more.

But it will encourage us to double our efforts to show our support, just so we can say thank you to all the traders, business people and their staff, and recognise any difficulties they have endured.

Wendy from Latrobe City Council events has been terrific in helping us and has promised to help guide us again through the formalities required when we set another date.

Gloria Auchterlonie, Rotary Club of Morwell

Online comments BUREAU WARNS OF WET WEEK ACROSS GIPPSLAND Martin Taylor: Get those gutters cleared of falling leaves folks.

Marianne Dykes: Travel safe everyone.

Marcus Hiam: Nar, Tim Flannery said it wouldn’t rain again.

Tommy Quinn: Damn Global Colding.

Dean Kerr: Four months too early.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL AND NETBALL OFF IN GIPPSLAND LEAGUE Linda Welsh: How sad. All junior sports are crying out for kids to play and when it is in the too hard basket you abandon them.

You want juniors to represent your clubs and I would imagine they are run by volunteers every week.You may need a few extras to manage the COVID requirement, but every club would have 60-odd senior football and netball players doing nothing. Show the kids you care and support them.

REGIONAL VICTORIA RESTRICTIONS EASED Caren Wood: Hope they fine all the buggers who came into regional areas on the Thursday arvo before the midnight lockdown.

Tom Hope: Good. About time regional Victoria got restrictions eased.

BUCKS BOWS OUT AS COLLINGWOOD COACH Ian Parr: Damn. I was hoping they’d give him a five-year contract.

Jan Scott: I think they have given him a fair run. Looking at him lately it can only improve his state of mind. Be like having Ayers Rock/Uluru lifted off your shoulders.

Phoenix Trinidad: I reckon he should come coach in Morwell.

SO concerned is Brett Sutton about the highly infectious DELTA variant that he stresses “limiting movement (via lockdown) is the only way of running this beast to ground” and indeed this is the precise reason Victoria Police have been given “move on” orders.

On the same token however, he is completely unconcerned about long lines of Victorians, standing stationary and shoulder to shoulder with complete strangers for up to five hours or more, cueing to get vaccinated?

Please note in this connection, Sutton has directed that getting vaccinated is one of the “five essential reasons” Victorians can leave home during lockdown.

To be sure, during those five hours or more, the highly infectious DELTA variant magically becomes non-infectious and thus suspending the laws of science and gravity!

A look through sliding doors coin it would have been an equal opportunity for the Magpies to toast victory. While one win might not mean much in the long run, for a few days at least it would have had players walking into work on a Monday with a spring in their step.

As all teams are a work-inprogress, it is a reality that not all can play for finals, however all can play for victories that help them believe in the hard work they have done. Round 8 of the NGFNL had two tight tussles on the cards as a resurgent Rosedale (sixth) met a defiant Churchill (third) and fifth placed Heyfield took on Yarram, a team ranked one position ahead of them.

Preview headline: Giddy up Gormy as first win beckons.

Line: 12.5 Tip: We’ve already had Thorpdale break the drought, surely this was the week another team ending in Dale got on the board.

WITH regional sport on an extended break, the football loving public has been deprived of some potentially cracking matches across Gippsland.

Here, the Four Quarters team opens up the crystal ball to have a look at what might have transpired in recent weeks.

For this exercise we have chosen one match featuring teams from The Express readership we believe would have been worthy of ‘match of the round’ billing.

1. Gippsland League Round 8

Moe (second) vs Wonthaggi (first) TWO towns, both alike in dignity, at Ted Summerton where we lay our scene ...

The stage was set for a performance of Shakespearean quality as potentially the only two undefeated teams in the Gippsland League went toe-to-toe.

We say potentially because the round beforehand was also abandoned, with Moe playing Traralgon and Wonthaggi hosting Sale.

If the Lions and Power had of won those games they would have gone into Round 8 with outright top spot on the line.

Barring a draw, which wouldn’t have been out of the question, the winner would have closed the round with 32 points next to their name.

In previewing this game, only a percentage difference of 10.28 had the Power on top of the ladder from the Lions. Wonthaggi could perhaps be edged marginally ahead in tale-of-the-tape stakes given it had knocked off Leongatha at home.

The Power’s blistering pace has been a hallmark so far this season under Jarryd Blair, with any number of small men capable of streaming the ball forward of centre.

Wonthaggi has class on every line, including midfielder Aiden Lindsay, key forward Troy Harley and criminally underrated defender Shannon Bray.

Moe key position player Declan Keilty has been in superb touch, as has defender Scott Van Dyk, who has collected two best-on-grounds in the last three games.

Tipping a winner for this game would have proven difficult, however, given it is called effortbased-system for a reason, whoever had that in order would have given themselves the best chance.

While the lockdown was a bitter pill to swallow for all concerned, it was perhaps more so for some players, including Lions midfielder Lucas Fry. One has to spare a thought for Fry, who appeared a certainty to come into the seniors after banging down the door so

Renewed hostilities: Current Ellinbank footballer Daniel Risol, pictured playing for Newborough, would have come up against a familiar opponent in Trafalgar during Round 8 of Ellinbank and District football. hard in the reserves to the point where it had no hinges left on it.

The timeline from this match would have set up huge backto-back showdowns in weeks to come, which could have convinced Gippsland League followers either Moe or Wonthaggi are in fact the real deal in 2021.

In the eyes of many, Leongatha is still the team to beat. Moe are scheduled to play them Round 10, while Wonthaggi has them on the return in Round 11.

Preview headline: Power aiming to run through the jungle.

Line: 5.5 Tip: The Can Bar to inspire Moe to victory.

2. Mid Gippsland Round 9 Yinnar (sixth) vs Fish Creek (fourth) WHILE it might look a bit strange claiming a match between sixth and fourth would have been game of the round in Mid Gippsland, the result that followed could have given people a clearer understanding of their quality.

A Yinnar win might have solidified the Magpies position in the top half of the ladder, while victory to the travelling Kangaroos could have had it taking a top-two spot.

Fish Creek has been quietly going about its business this season, winning some games by big margins and proving it can match teams it may or may not play come finals.

Of the two losses it has had, one has been by eight points against third placed Mirboo North, while

What if: Would the Round 9 match against Glengarry have been when Gormandale finally broke the drought? file photographs

the other was against second placed Foster by just 14 points.

Fish Creek also creamed fellow top six competitor Morwell East by 61 points earlier this year.

The Kangaroos, who an opposition coach has labelled “the best side I’ve seen in 10 years”, are still yet to play the undefeated Hill End, and loom as a team that could hand the Hillmen their first loss.

Conversely, Yinnar has been better than its ladder position would indicate, as it has lost two games against top three teams by less than three points - one of which was after the siren.

With this in mind, the Magpies can count themselves legitimately stiff on at least one occasion, and should feel as though their best football stacks up to anyone it plays against. Had Yinnar won this match against Fish Creek it would have carried a huge amount of confidence heading into Hill End the following week.

Preview headline: Test in the nest for Magpies.

Line: 10.5.

Tip: Would have been very close.

We’ll say Yinnar because it was at home.

3. North Gippsland Round 9

Glengarry (ninth) vs Gormandale (11th) FORGIVE the sentiment and apologies to all potential top-five clashes that haven’t seen the light of day in the last few weeks of North Gippsland football, but this Round 9 match between Glengarry and Gormandale was probably one the Tigers would have gone into thinking rather than hoping they could win.

After a few testing weeks pre-lockdown, Gormandale’s sights would have been set on getting the four points in this game, which no doubt would have led to celebrations befitting of matches usually seen in September.

The Tigers would be well within their rights to hold such celebrations given they have not won a game since August 2018.

Without wanting to predict too much, should Gormandale have defeated Glengarry it would have set up another winnable match with Cowwarr the week later.

The significance of consecutive wins for Gormandale could surely not be understated, nor could the confidence it would have given the group. On the other side of the

4. Ellinbank and District Round 8

Ellinbank (first) vs Trafalgar (second) IF you were to say to the general punter from the Ellinbank and District Football League ‘Traf are going well in the new league’, there is a good chance the response would be ‘yes, but they haven’t played Ellinbank or Longwarry yet.’

The Bloods have begun their new life in the EDFL with an unblemished 6-0 win-loss record, and eyes would have been fixed to see how the Bloods fared in their Round 8 match with Ellinbank the only other undefeated team in the competition.

The Eagles boast an incredibly strong lineup featuring former Gippsland League leading goal kicker Chris Dunne, and Mid Gippsland best and fairest winner Daniel Risol, as well as Nate Paredes who is expected to play a few games this season.

Paredes was runner-up in the 2016 Gippsland League best and fairest and has a Northern Territory Football League Player of the Year award to his name.

If Parades was available for this match it would no doubt have made some difference, however, it is highly unlikely he would have been the sole key to Ellinbank’s chances.

Some names that might be familiar to Latrobe Valley readers are also playing at Ellinbank this season in Liam Carolan and Anthony Battista.

Trafalgar has built a very physical team this season, with players the likes of Karl Mutke and Chris McIntosh to go with seasoned campaigners such as Tyson Leys and Jamie Hines.

The Bloods also have arguably the best player in the competition in Dylan Farrell, who adds even more height to the starting 21.

A gutsy win over third placed Poowong before the lockdown strengthened Trafalgar’s credentials, while Ellinbank’s win over reigning premier Longwarry did the same. The winner of this match would have enjoyed the giddy heights that come with being on top of the ladder, looking down on all contemporaries.

Away from the EDFL here is a question to ponder: would Hill End be in premiership conversation if Trafalgar and Yallourn Yallourn North was still in Mid Gippsland?

Preview headline: Ellinbank aiming to do the Eagle Rock.

Line: 8.5 Tip: Trafalgar, but only if Dunne had less than four score involvements.

On the ball Express reporters Zac Standish and Liam Durkin run the rule over the past week in footy LD: Another week of no local footy unfortunately, although training has gone back so hopefully that is a promising sign.

ZS: Do you think we’ll be playing next week?

LD: Surely next week is the week.

ZS: There was actually some Victorian country footy teams that got to play last week.

The Picola and District League, which has teams in Victoria and New South Wales got on the park. The Victorian teams made the move over the border to play.

LD: Back home golf returned at least for people to enjoy. The old footy club golf days are good fun, although they are usually a write-off by the seventh.

ZS: Any local footballers you know hit a decent ball?

LD: Matt Coutts turned professional so he would have to be the best around here. Daniel Heathcote who runs the Gippsland League is also more than handy off the tee.

ZS: Traralgon’s own Brendon Goddard plays off scratch or close to. Moving forward what do you think the footy fixture should look like?

LD: I’d say the simplest solution would be the best. We have lost three weeks so turn it into a 15 round season. Restart the season from where we left off and split the remaining six or so games so each club has an equal home-away draw. That way you have played most teams twice and teams can qualify for finals on their own merit.

ZS: Mid Gippy are having it so everyone plays each other once. You would think most leagues will want to play their grand finals as originally scheduled.

LD: There will no doubt be questions around ‘what constitutes a proper season?’ Personally I’d be happy playing into October, the first few weeks of cricket are usually rain affected anyway.

ZS: Any feedback from our last Four Quarters that looked at times matches were abandoned in Gippsland? I saw one come through our email from Peter Hopkins who is the secretary up at Hill End past and present players. A game between Hill End and Yallourn North ended when the umpire thought someone’s car horn was the siren. What made it worse was when the actual siren sounded later it was a false alarm. Hill End was narrowly ahead at the time so you can imagine the commotion that followed.

LD: That’s gold, I’ve since come across a game from 2006 between Drouin and Warragul that was called off at three quarter time due to lightning. There was also a game in 1977 between Moe and Traralgon that was called off because the clubs couldn’t agree who got the canteen takings after the match had to be moved from Moe. Who said footy club canteens aren’t big business.

ZS: Did you play in that perfect storm game of 2016 we referenced last week?

LD: I did, and somehow lived to tell the tale.

I remember one teammate chose to play that day instead of going to Splendour in the Grass - you could just see the mental agony written all over his face.

ZS: It sounds like one of those games that was unforgettable-for-all-the-wrong reasons.

LD: I have since immortalised that day in song, sung to the tune of American Pie: A long, long time ago I can still remember how country football used to make me smile…and we were singing bye bye how it all came to pass, made the long trip west and found the ground had no grass.

ZS: On that note we’ll wrap things up. Here’s to footy returning sooner rather than later.

Pax Hill made it four wins from five matches this campaign with a 14.23 (107) to 6.9 (45) defeat of Southside/TEDAS at Duncan Cameron Reserve.

The Saints were profligate in front of goal, especially early, booting 1.7 in the opening term before racing to a 33-point half-time advantage.

Pax Hill booted nine goals to four after the main break in what was a percentage-boosting result.

Tyson Tangi lifted his season’s tally to 21 goals after a bag of five majors as the Saints had seven individual goalkickers.

Rogan Rutter was named best for the victors, while Riley Denovan capped a fine game with three goals.

Tarkyn Shankland slotted three majors for Southside/TEDAS, with Oakley Howe (two goals) another handy contributor.

West End displayed some strong form to defeat Police Boys 16.6 (102) to 9.4 (58) at Apex Park.

Scores were not available from the Combined Saints v Churchill clash.

TEDAS remain unbeaten at the top of the Under-13 ladder after a 92-point win against Police Boys at Apex Park.

Jimmy Brand booted five goals in a best-onground performance as the Tigers prevailed 14.8 (92) to 0.0 (0).

Kade Jennings, Melvey Podmore and Jed Murray also played fine games for TEDAS, with Ashlyn Murtagh and Harper Connolly battling hard in a losing cause.

Combined Saints scored a dominant 58-point win against Churchill at Stoddart Oval.

Brodi Allen kicked three goals in the 11.9 (75) to 2.5 (17) success.

Oscar Wilkins was named best-on-ground for Combined Saints, with Allan and Logan Hicks other leading lights.

Churchill was best-served by Brodie Auger and Ashton Ceeney.

Southside was impressive in a 15.6 (96) to 0.0 (0) defeat of Pax Hill.

Marlon Neocleous snagged five goals and Jaxon Murdoch four for Southside as Archie Jones and Cooper Garland knocked up winning the footy.

Liam Pepper and Tylah Platt worked hard for Pax Hill.

West End held off a second-half resurgence from Glengarry to win by 29 points.

The Bombers were flying at the main break, but the Magpies booted three goals to two in the second-half to go down 9.6 (60) to 4.7 (31).

Mason Snowden and Darcy Tulloch shone for West End as Jesse Nancarrow and James Guy each booted two goals.

Glengarry was best-served by Will O’Doherty, who kicked two goals, and the consistent Charlie Tatchell.

The closest Under-11 match was at Apex Park where Police Boys scored a two-point win against TEDAS. Police Boys prevailed 3.1 (19) to 2.9 (21) with two goals to Wil Walker proving crucial in the final wash-up. Michael Alex and Lincoln Balcombe-Masters impressed for Police Boys, as Mason Chan and Jakob Scott earned the best player honours for TEDAS. The other three games were lopsided affairs won by Southside, West End and Churchill.

Southside defeated Pax Hill by 79 points with a trio of players in Hunter Smith, Marlow Shaw and Lincoln Geary kicking three goals.

Mace Henderson was named best for Southside.

West End kept Glengarry scoreless in a 74-point win.

William Edgar headlined the Bombers’ performance, kicking six goals in a best-on-ground performance.

Liam Hutchieson and Djirra Pender also shone for the winners.

Churchill defeated Combined Saints 8.9 (57) to 0.2 (2). Tyson McInnes and Anabel Pobke had fine games for the Cougars as Jack Thomas, Lucas Gina and Reed Paterson kicked two goals apiece.

Three teams are locked on 16 points with Churchill on top by virtue of superior percentage from Police Boys and TEDAS. Under-9 winners were TEDAS, Southside, West End and Combined Saints.

Best players and goalkickers are in scoreboard.

Road Runners are staying connected ATHLETICS

GIPPSLAND Road Runners have found a way to keep their supportive and safe running group operating while adhering to Victoria’s COVID rules.

The Latrobe Valley based women’s social running group always run in company in order to provide support and encouragement to one another as well as a degree of reassurance and safety as they progress around Latrobe Valley towns and countryside of a morning.

GRR treasurer Tracy McCracken Stevens, said that safety of participants was an essential element of the Road Runners.

“Many women would like to get outside and exercise but are cautious of the hazards of doing so alone at an early hour’, she said.

“From the outset the Gippsland Road Runners have ensured that no one runs alone and everyone is afforded the opportunity to run in company.

“And what wonderful company we are.”

The running group run or walk across the major

towns from Traralgon to Warragul at least once a week with some towns seeing activity almost every day.

While usually the groups can number up to 10 participants often strung out, the latest Victorian rules preclude group activity so the GRR have settled on a formula which sees their members pairing up to support one another.

“There may be times where the pairs are only a few hundred yards from one another we make sure we are not congregating,” Ms Stevens explained.

“So far we have continued to provide a safe outlet for exercise for our members right across the Latrobe Valley.”

Ms Stevens said that the Road Runners would continue the current format until the guidelines were relaxed.

“We all miss our after exercise coffee and chat so we will be happy to return to our normal activities,” she said.

“But up until then we just want to make sure we continue supporting one another while we run and walk.”

GIPPSLAND League players and officials waited with bated breath yesterday to see if they could get back onto the field following Acting Premier James Merlino’s press conference yesterday.

The announcement by the state government that community sport could resume for all ages renewed hope of matches being played.

As the Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League and North Gippsland Football-Netball League had already put a red line through games for June 12, attention quickly turned to the Gippsland League.

The Gippsland League had provisions in place for local sport to be given the green light, and had sent out three draft fixtures to clubs earlier this week.

Options presented to clubs were: a draft to start this weekend for all grades, a draft to start on June 19 for all grades, and a draft to start juniors on June 12 and seniors on June 19.

Gippsland League clubs met on Tuesday night, where a number of different scenarios were discussed. The league was still waiting for feedback from some clubs in relation to football and netball for June 12 by Wednesday morning.

For players and coaches, the general consensus was that the season would resume June 19, with Round 10 matches originally scheduled to be on that day going ahead.

Given the large area the Gippsland League covers, there was always the sticking point surrounding clubs such as Drouin and Warragul, who have a large percentage of players either live or work in Cardina Shire - which was technically a Melbourne area.

Around 4pm yesterday the Gippsland League publically announced Round 9 matches scheduled for this Saturday would not go ahead.

“From the feedback provided the majority of the member clubs were not in favour of resuming the season on June 12 under Greater Melbourne movement restrictions and the other tight regional restrictions including crowds capped at 150,” the league said in a media release.

“This combined with no confirmation on the ability to use changerooms and have canteens for this weekend. The majority of the member clubs also specifically stated their preference to resume the senior and junior competitions at the same time effectively ruling out a return to play for junior competitions on June 12 under the current restrictions.

Short and sweet: The Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League will play a 13 round home-and-away season.

“While senior sport is open under the new restrictions as of June 11, multiple clubs have notified the league that they will not be able to field some teams in Round 9 under the current movement restrictions for Greater Melbourne. Based on this feedback, Gippsland League’s scheduled Round 9 competition matches will not be played on June 12.

“Gippsland League will be strongly recommending a return to play on June 19 for all grades and will be working towards this over the next week.”

As there has now been three rounds lost, the Gippsland League will implement the following: Teams will be awarded no points and no percentage for Rounds 7, 8 and 9; A minimum seven day training period will be required before the next round is played if three to five consecutive rounds are interrupted; The fixture will be adjusted with the emphasis

on clubs receiving equal amounts of home matches in the season. Each club will play each other member club a minimum of once for the season; Player finals qualification to be assessed by the league and clubs notified of changes, and; Finals series to remain unchanged.

THE Mid Gippsland Football-Netball League has confirmed it will play a 13 round home-and-away season.

The changes come amid the cancellation of rounds in recent weeks, which have seen Rounds 8 and 9 abandoned.

Round 10, scheduled to be held this weekend, has also been scrapped.

The MGFNL will aim to recommence the season on Saturday, June 19 with Rounds 11, 12 and 13 to follow the original fixture.

Siddle cuts short his county stint CRICKET

Heading home: Morwell’s Peter Siddle is leaving county side Essex citing personal reasons.

MORWELL product Peter Siddle has withdrawn from the remainder of the English County Cricket season, citing personal reasons for his return to Australia.

The 36-year old seamer had enjoyed a plentiful start to the season for Essex, claiming 26 wickets in six matches at an impressive average of 24.40.

Following the decision Siddle said he was sad to be departing Essex at this point in the season.

“I am sad to be leaving Chelmsford early as I love playing for Essex,” Siddle said.

“I have built some really strong bonds with the guys, so it’s upsetting that I have to go home, but hopefully in the future I can come back and play some more cricket for this great club.”

Although his latest stint has come to a sudden close, Siddle is confident he can still contribute at first-class level and is excited for what his future in the game holds.

“I know I’m getting to the back end of my career, but I’ve still got some playing time left,” he said.

“We’ll see what happens in the coming months and in the build-up to the 2022 season, but fingers crossed there’s still a little bit more cricket to be played for Essex.”

Siddle is the third Australian player to leave the county season early, following injuries to Queenslander Billy Stanlake (back stress fracture) and New South Welshmen Sean Abbott (grade two hamstring tear).

Wicket-keeper/batsman Ben McDermott (Derbyshire) and veteran all-rounder Dan Christian (Nottinghamshire) are also on the way out after being added to Australia’s white-ball squad for its upcoming tour of the West Indies.

After that point, Rounds 8, 9 and 10 will be played to see out the season.

The 13 round fixture will ensure every team plays each other once.

All teams will then have a bye before the finals commence, which will be held one week earlier than the original fixture.

By having a 13 round home-and-away fixture the competition sees equalisation and also gives the MGFNL two weeks grace (due to the pre finals bye and finals coming back one week) if further restrictions arise.

The grand final has also been moved forward one week and will now be played Saturday, August 28.

NORTH Gippsland Football-Netball League cancelled its Round 10 matches as early as Monday and has already adjusted the fixture accordingly on GameDay, pushing everything back one week.

Saints lose a thriller despite Tim’s heroics

FOOTBALL

WAYWARD kicking in the dying stages cost St Kilda dearly last Saturday afternoon, as they got within three points of upsetting Sydney at the SCG. Traralgon’s Tim Membrey was immense for the Saints, kicking two goals and claiming 20 disposals in what was a strong performance from the centre-half forward.

Playing alongside the prodigiously talented Max King, Membrey took a much needed load off the 20-year old’s shoulders as he constantly caused problems for the Swans defence with his ability to compete both in the air and at ground level.

Membrey’s ability to get up the ground and have an influence was also telling, as he could constantly be found providing an option for his teammates on the wing or pushing back hard into defence taking eight pivotal marks.

Kicking two majors in the past four games, Membrey is a crucial cog in St Kilda’s side and will be a big omission for this weekend’s clash against Adelaide as he returned to Melbourne for the birth of his first child.

Changkouth Jiath, Sam Flanders and Ben Ainsworth all enjoyed a welcome rest last weekend with Hawthorn and Gold Coast having the bye.
