THE installation of more safety features on the Mt Buller access road are expected to begin within the next two weeks according to the State Government’s Department of Transport.Safety concerns were raised by Jared Malcolm, an employee for Bus Fleet on Mt Buller, following him witnessing a serious incident where an experienced driver went over the edge of the mountain road in heavy fog recently.MrMalcolm made an appeal to the member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes for urgent action to address safety concerns for better visibility on the access road to the resort. He was prompted to do so after providing assistance to the experienced resort parking officer involved in the incident on July 26 and concerns for the potential danger for other drivers using the access road. Fortunately, the driver in this incident was not injured on the night, but required considerable assistance to be retrieved from the rolled vehicle where he was trapped.MrMalcolm said he was driving the rideshare taxi buses, and shuttling guests from their ski lodges to their cars so they could return down the mountain when he heard a distressed call from one of the parking officers for help. The officer had plummeted over a cliff at a section of the road known as Rocky Cutting. According to Mr Malcolm, “This section of road of is particularly bad for visibility at night and in the fog, and there is zero protection for cars falling over the edge, as well as almost zero reflectors installed. “We rushed to the site and fortunately we were able to maintain radio communications with the parking officer so that we could locate him and so that we knew whether medical assistance was required or not.” Mr Malcolm said another parking officer descended the cliff on foot and retrieved the trapped driver via the passenger’s window and was able to slowly ascend the steep climb onHefoot.noted that this is the fourth incident to occur this season, with three other vehicles having gone over the edge at various times and in different locations due to icy conditions; not fog.
Mr Malcolm cited ongoing frustration with initial enquiries by himself and his employer about the lack of reflectors on the road and whose responsibility it was to upgrade the roads. “Safety reflectors marking the edge of a cliff should not be an expensive exercise,” he added. “I would imagine the resort management board (Mt Buller Mt Stirling RMB) is currently investigating the incident, and will hopefully make an effort to improve the road’s safety,” said MrWhenMalcolm.the Mt Buller News contacted the CEO of Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Resort Management, Mark Bennetts, he said he was aware of the incident. “I believe it was an experienced staff member who fortunately was not hurt, and others driving pass offered assistance. “It appears to be caused by extremely heavy fog and difficulty in using the orange markers to see where they were in position to the edge of the road,” said Mr Bennetts.Hestressed safety was a priority for the resort and acknowledged work already undertaken by VicRoads to increase safety on the access road. Ms Symes stressed the need for caution when driving at this time of year when contacted by the Mt Buller News. “Extreme weather and poor light can make driving dangerous in the winter months and I would remind all road users of the importance of taking extreme“Wecare.”recently completed critical landslip works on Mt Buller Road to ensure the safety of all road users,” she said. Advice from Ms Syme’s office confirmed that, “Following recent inspections, the Department of Transport is looking to install improved signage, including four additional curve alignment marker signs and a number of orange aluminium guide posts with reflectors to improve signage and delineation on the Departmentroad.”of Transport Regional Director (Hume) Steve Bowmaker also urged caution by“Drivingdrivers. in dangerous conditions like snow and heavy fog can be hazardous, even for the most experienced drivers,” he said.“As more people head to the snow, we encourage all drivers to prepare ahead and be aware of conditions and take extreme care in difficult driving conditions.”

By LYNN ELDER CLOCKING up her seventh visit to Timor Leste in July, after a three year hiatus due to COVID, Mansfield’s Anne Eldred was able to return with her two teenage granddaughters and family friend in tow for the adventure of their Despitelifetime.theCOVID-19 pandemic bringing overseas travel to a standstill, members of the Mansfield Friends of Venilale (FoV) group, including Ms Eldred, have been working behind the scenes to support the Timorese community from afar. Her two Melbourne based granddaughters Jessica Van der Knijiff and Honey Eldred, both aged 14, are regular visitors to Mansfield and took on the task of fundraising for their forthcoming visit with great gusto at this year’s Easter bush market on the FoV stall. They did a roaring trade in tie dyed T shirts on the day, raising more than $400, which according to Ms Eldred has been spent on school supplies for the high school and the Salesian orphanage in Venilale. “It was great to travel with my friend Judy Haberman, a remedial teacher from Melbourne, and the girls,” she said. “For Jessica and Honey it was an opportunity to experience something outside their comfortRegardlesszone.” of who travels from Mansfield to Timor Leste, they never go empty handed. Ms Eldred explained there is no postal service as we know in Australia and the cost of filling and sending a shipping container is prohibitive hence the 100kg of extra baggage for thisThankfully,trip. the custom officers at Dili airport waved them through.“During the last two years we have been collecting medical supplies from the Mansfield Veterinary Clinic and the Central Practice Clinic (Dr Will Twycross is a FoV member),” she said. “Items included bandages, medications and syringes which were destined to be delivered to the Venilale Health Centre and on site maternity ward.”Other items delivered to the centre included baby bundles with goods donated by Mansfield mums and other individuals. “I was surprised to learn that 16 babies per month are delivered at the Venilale Maternity Centre ranging from mothers aged 16 to a mature age of 47,” Ms Eldred said. On the issue of health she observed malnutrition as an ongoing issue for many Timorese struggling financially. Without regular access to high protein foods there is a reliance on a diet high in carbohydrates.Forthose who do grow their own food, Ms Eldred said some are forced to sell it to create any income for their families.

Another highlight of the trip was the opportunity to reunite with various individuals in Venilale who have visited Mansfield in earlier years. Two Timorese seasonal workers Ernesto and Alfonso who spent time in Mansfield during COVID, caught up with Ms Eldred and the group in Dili. Alfonso was the designated driver for the trip to Venilale. A side trip to Aturo Island off the coast from the capital of Dili provided an opportunity for the young girls to witness the impact of pollution from rubbish washed up from other countries.“The four of us spent half an hour over three days on the beach clearing 70 metres of rubbish which was then sorted, identified and logged on a website which monitors the type of items and where they come from,” Ms Eldred said. “It was a good project for the girls to be involved in.”

LOCAL residents are being urged to contribute blood to a new study seeking to understand rates of Japanese encephalitis infection (JEV) throughout the region. A study will aim to better understand the rare mosquito-borne illness, analysing blood samples taken from up to 600 participants of all ages from throughout the North East to assist in vaccination planning and other prevention activities. Future community engagement programs around vaccination information were in the works.Residents are urged to taken necessary precautions to avoid mosquito bites, including wearing loose clothing, wearing insect repellent, using mosquito netting and screens where possible and removing water-holding containers where mosquitoes may breed.

This trip saw donations totalling US$1380 distributed within Venilale shared to support the orphanage, the kindergarten, maternity ward, medical centre, high school library and schools with educational supplies The group spent five nights in Venilale staying at the orphanage where Jessica and Honey enjoyed the interaction with the 112 girls who live there.
Time will tell MANSFIELD town planners are now grappling for solutions on how to deal with traffic and rapid urban expansion. Currently Highton Lane is slated as a funnel, and the traffic of hundreds of new homes planned to suburbanise the eastern paddocks clear through to the Buller Road. Vic Roads will not allow these new estates an access from the east. All the suburban traffic will join the B-Doubles and concrete trucks to turn at the junction of Highton Lane/Malcome St. This is a horrendous and confusing intersection even outside of peak times: a blind intersection complicated by the misalignment with Rowe St.

Will councillors approve of this thoroughfare, accessed by a road to be built 10 metres from current residents’ bedrooms? Or will they consider the value of our green rural peace and country views? Can they be sure the consultants are right: that our water security will not be affected by the rapid expansion? Mansfield will be double population by next drought. Time will tell. Mary Parker, Mansfield Hearts and hands of Mansfield MANSFIELD sure does need more affordable housing; but will the mushrooming new estates achieve this? Will our vital new young nurses, aged and youth carers, hospitality workers be able to afford to build or rent in them? Will the blocks be released in large numbers or drip fed to maximize investment? Will they be home for many working families, or for retirees and Air BNB tenants? These questions will soon be answered as the current strategy of urbanising the town plays out to the end. I hope that our councillors who vote on the future of our beloved town will stand up for our last green spaces and trees. And for our current residents, who are the working hearts and hands of Mansfield. Carol Lowden, Highton Lane Way Back Wednesday - a look back at what was making news 20 years ago this week.

This opportunity enabled our students to bond as a cohort, build individual resilience and confidence, and to grow together through being vulnerable with one another and sharing their hopes and fears. The activities, led by the camp staff, involved high rope climbs, leaps of faith, guided forest meditations and some creative re-flavouring of the good old fashioned scavenger hunt. Our students were thoroughly engaged throughout all the activities, worked well in their teams and discovered new strengths in themselves along the way.

For those keen to admire the spectacle, drivers will be hosting a show and shine at the brewery on the Saturday afternoon, before taking to the streets of Jamieson for a leisurely cruise, before settling in to enjoy a rock and roll band on the main street. “We’re really excited to be back,” said Greg.“We’ve got people coming from all over - and as far afield as New South Wales - to participate. “We love the township, and it’s a great feeling to be able to see the small differences we’ve been able to make to this community through our donations.”

A 21-YEAR-OLD Indian man living in Australia on a student visa has got a lucky break, receiving a fine without conviction after facing charges relating to the possession of an imitation firearm in court last week. Prosecutors detailed events from November 2021, after they had actually helped the accused return to town following his involvement in an unrelated motor vehicle accident earlier that day. A local restaurateur informed police that the accused had produced a pistol, which looked real to him, and had let him hold it, before the accused organised accommodation for the night.Police attended and chatted with accused. He let them enter the room and search his bag, where they located an imitation firearm called a gel blaster, which they then seized. The accused said he knew it was illegal to possess the item, explaining to police that he’d gotten it from an online retailer based in QLD out of sheer curiosity. Defence for the accused said he was studying building and construction and was an “industrious young man” who held casual but regular employment and provided for convictionconsiderationDefencehimself.requestedofanon-dispositionand

Australian whiskey founder Bill Lark visits Mt BullerA li hi k y f d Bill L k i i M B ll r
By JARRAH LOH THE godfather of Australian whiskey Bill Lark visited Mt Buller recently and brought with him several of his Tasmanian delights - and the tales that go with them. Bill presented a night of fine food and whiskey at Mt Buller’s Moosehead Whisky & Blues Bar where those in attendance learned about the history of the Lark Distillery, alongside a selection of world winning spirits, including a brand new unreleased oneall to chef Ross O’Meara’s accompanying food. “I was enjoying the Alpine atmosphere, which is very conducive to drinking whisky,” Bill said of the night. The word of Tasmania’s single-malt whiskey had reached the High Country and Bill’s old friend, Mt Buller chef Ross O’Meara, thought a whisky event featuring his old friend would be the toast of the town, and he was right. “It was a fantastic event,” said“RossBill. catered and I presented the whiskey and it was a great night of fine food and drink.” Bill said people are always interested in how the whiskey industry got started in Australia, and Mt Buller proved no different. Aussie whisky has suddenly spread like wildfire over the last decade, especially impressive considering there wasn’t a single distillery not long ago. Bill literally started the Tasmanian industry 30 years ago when he obtained the first whiskey distilling licence since 1839. To get that licence he even had a law overturned that prevented small distilleries from operating legally - luckily for him, his local political members happened to be big whiskey “Obviouslyfans.there was big rum distilling in Queensland and there was Corio Whiskey in Geelong that was huge in its day, but it shut down in the late 80s.” No one in Australia made single-malt whiskey, so Bill took upon himself to found Lark Whiskey and before he knew it, things were booming.“I thought that it would happen in Australia one day but it certainly caught on a lot sooner than I figured,” he said.Before long, Bill had other enthusiasts on his doorstep hoping to create a whiskey of their own, and so he went on to co-found or help many of the other Australian whisky brands that are now seen in every bottle shop, including Victoria’s own Starward. Even Bill’s daughter Kristy has her own distillery with Killara.Butwhat about the High Country’s own whiskey? “There’s no doubt that Mansfield and Mt Buller are top places to produce whiskey,” said Bill. “You have the good variation of daily and seasonal temperatures which really help the maturation of Australian whiskey. “I ran into several people that have a strong interest in whiskey, so we may see some local distilleries springing up before long. “It’s only a matter of time.”

Helen Haines bill amendments pass
The list of eligible qualifications for appointments to the Climate Change Authority would be expanded under Dr Haines’ amendments to include regional development“Theseexperience.arethepeople who will be advising on Australia’s targets and tracking our progress to achieving those,” Dr Haines said. “We need regional voices at that table. “We need people who understand how to make renewable energy actually deliver for regional communities.”The amendments would require the minister’s annual statement on emissions reduction to specifically outline the social, employment, and economic benefits that those policies are delivering to the regions. Dr Haines’ amendments also require the regions to be explicitly considered when setting new emissions targets. “It means that no government can get away with a climate policy that does not specifically address the unique circumstances of and opportunities for regional Australia,” Dr Haines said. Prior to their approval, Dr Haines shared her proposed amendments with the government, the opposition and the“Icrossbench.havehad positive discussions with the government and the crossbench, and I hope members of the Liberal and National parties, particularly those representing regional and rural Australia, will also support these amendments,” Dr Haines“Thissaid.iswhy the people of Indi voted for Independent representation - for their needs to be heard in Parliament, and for informed, good-faith interaction to improve Government legislation on their behalf.”
INDEPENDENT Federal Member for Indi Helen Haines has successfully amended the government’s Climate Change Bill to ensure regional Australia benefits.The government’s Climate Change Bill passed the House of Representatives last Thursday after being amended by Dr Haines and other members of the crossbench.The house voted 89-56 in favour of Dr Haines’ amendment.“This is a victory for regional Australia and its impact will be felt for decades to come,” Dr Haines said. Dr Haines aimed to put regional Australia at the forefront of the country’s climate change policy framework through four changes to the legislation. “It is the regions that endure the brunt of the droughts, the floods and the bushfires that are becoming increasingly severe, and happening increasingly often,” Dr Haines said. “And it is the regions that will host almost all of the new renewable energy we must construct and a huge part of the new industries Australia must build to truly take advantage of the net zero economic opportunity. “This transition will happen primarily in the regions, so it only makes sense that our climate policy keeps a special focus on the regions.”The amendments require the Climate Change Authority to make sure that any measures to respond to climate change should boost economic, employment and social benefits, including for rural and regional Australia. “Renewable energy and the new industries it will unlock could become the next gold rush or the next wool boom for regional Australia - but only if we plan it right,” Dr Haines said. “We want to see longterm, well-paid jobs being created in our local towns, new training opportunities in local TAFEs, profits staying local instead of flowing overseas.“Myamendment will help secure these economic benefits that otherwise risk slipping through our fingers.”

Fitting in her writing around her busy life, Margaret churned out what would become her second novel, Stone Town, again featuring protagonist Detective Sergeant Mark Ariti, and being set in a small ex-gold mining town. It’s a backdrop Margaret’s is familiar with, having grown up and now living regionally, and it’s also a huge trend within both the national and international publishing‘Outbackindustry.noir’ is the sub-genre, a term coined following the success of Jane Harper’s The Dry and Chris Hammer’s Scrublands.

But her writing journey hasn’t been an overnight success. “Anyone who’s ever written a successful book has been writing for a long time,” said Margaret. “I wrote for many years in academia as well as publishing short stories.”Allthe while Margaret worked full time as both an academic and a teacher while raising three boys with her husband. Until the idea of writing a crime novel came during a trip to her“Theysister’s.all went for a walk and I just said to myself, ‘I’m going to start something’,” said Margaret. “I’m not going to try and be clever or worry about offending anyone; I’m just going to write.” And so she wrote Cutters End, the genesis of the idea coming from her youth when she hitchhiked with her cousin to Darwin. “At the time it was mostly older women who gave us lifts and they’d always ask, ‘Haven’t you heard what’s happening on East Coast?’” said Margaret. “And what was happening was Ivan“SoMilat.that era was coming to an end.“You don’t see hitchhikers on the roadside anymore.”

The facility will allow scientists, Traditional Owners and industry to work together on breeding and release programs, community education and improving genetic diversity, giving these species the best chance to thrive. These activities will help protect and enhance populations in response to extreme events, including fire and drought, as well as support broader river rehabilitation efforts. The $2.8 million facility is expected to open in April 2023.
“A new 100mm layer of crushed rock is added to the road surface, then compacted and shaped,” Cr Tehan said. “The program also includes the excavation and installation of numerous new drains as well as shoulder and table drain reshaping, to improve the drainage of the road surface.”

THE federal and state government are collaborating to boost bushfire-affected native fish populations with a new conservation hatchery helping to safeguard Victoria’s vulnerable freshwater aquatic species. Minister for the Environment and Climate Action Lily D’Ambrosio announced last week 1.4 million towards a new hatchery at local fishery Snobs Creek - specifically designed to protect endangered freshwater species.“This new hatchery will help to safeguard our native aquatic species, particularly those left vulnerable after the devastating 2019-20 bushfires,” said Ms D’Ambrosio.“Intheface of a changing climate and more extreme weather events, investments in projects like these are critical to build resilience in our unique wildlife - whether that be aquatic species, flora or fauna.”The hatchery will focus on increasing the population of freshwater species impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires, including Macquarie perch and several galaxiid species. Planning is also underway for breeding other threatened species including the purple spotted gudgeon and spiny crayfish. Thenew hatchery is a partnership with the commonwealth government, who contributed $960,000 to the project. The hatchery will feature state-of-the-art equipment including new aquariums and recirculation systems.

BULLER Ski Lifts (BSL) reports that based on the first six weeks of the season, the new tobogganing model has been a step in the right direction for the resort.  BSL is managing the two slide parks at Mt Buller under contract to the Resort Management Board. Guests now pay $15 to access and slide in capacity-managed parks all day (subject to capacity limits). The fee includes use of toboggans provided in the parks. Access is free for guests with a valid lift “Tobogganspass. are now almost completely gone from the ski area and roadside zones which is great news,” said BSL General Manager Noel“AndLandry. families are having fun in the toboggan parks with a better experience and room to slide safely.”

With over two thirds of his $50,000 target raised already, Huw is very hopeful of exceeding it. “Yesterday was a pearler of a day with fresh snow hanging in the snow gums at Baw Baw,” he said. “It was a perfect day to ski the lifts of Baw Baw, the last uphill assistance I will have for some weeks.“From here to Mt Buller it is all under my own steam, on ski and no doubt some time on foot. “There is some pretty rotten weather in the forecast for the next week but in the mountains you have to take it all, even more so in winter.“And of course bad weather often means good things - the white stuff we live for. “I have learned to never, ever complain when it snows.”

North East MP Tim McCurdy has been appointed to two assistant shadow minister roles in the areas of regional health and ambulance services. The local Nationals’ state MP has also been appointed as his party’s whip in the Legislative Assembly.

THE LOCAL CREW: The 2022 Alpine Valleys Community Leadership Program cohort in Mansfield. APPLICATIONS are now open for the 2023 Alpine Valleys Community Leadership (AVCL) annual program. Established in 1999, the program engages participants from across the North East and border regions in an immersive ‘learning by doing’ experience over 10 months, from February through to November. AVCL executive officer, Jacqui Bramwell, emphasised the ongoing need for practical leadership within the“Inregion.recent years we have faced a raft of tumultuous challenges across the North East, disrupting and impacting individuals, organisations and communities,” she said. “To build resilient communities and ensure the vitality and sustainability of our region, it is essential that we continue to develop diverse and capable leaders. “The annual program now has over 450 graduates, people from all walks of life who are on the ground and are getting the work done within their communities. “Our graduates are capable of leading in a range of settings, and this has been achieved through the development of leadership skills such as strategic thinking, collaboration, planning, governance and local knowledge and networks” One of these graduates is AVCL program manager, Suz Christion. “I completed the annual program back in 2013, and found it to be a valuable learning experience,” she said. “This year I have stepped into the role of program manager, so in many ways it’s a full circle moment, and it’s such a privilege to be taking others on this journey. “The program delivers experiential learning on the essentials of leadership, and the content continues to evolve over time as we are exploring current and emerging regional priorities. “One of the key advantages of the annual program is that the days are set across different locations in the North East, and participants are hearing from key stakeholders from a broad span of townships, industries and sectors. “In addition, we are now in the second year of embedding community projects in the program. “This provides practical learning in project management and teamwork skills in a community setting.” Applications close on Sunday, September 11, for further information and to apply go to the AVCL website www.avclp.org.au.

B ByGRADEALICIA FOSTER Mansfield 27 defeated by Mooroopna 77 Best on court, sponsored by Luna Bar - Alicia Foster Coaches Award, sponsored by Byrne Seed - Milli Howland THE B grade girls knew that coming up against a top side team like Mooroopna would be a tough dayWithout.the day putting on such beautiful weather we all stepped on court ready to finish off the last few weeks of the season implementing and working on the drills and skills that we have been practicing at training. There were many positives to take from the game such as our hard definite drives to the ball, our strong defensive pressure all the way down the court and our ability to talk to each other to give and receive feedback. The goalers worked well to read off each other and provide great holds for the midcourters to pass the ball in for some amazing goals.Inthe defensive ring, the girls were able to get around and intercept many balls but Mooroopna’s height and accuracy proved it hard to get a lot of rebounds.Although the game got away from us the score did not reflect how much effort each and everyone put in. We look forward to keep on training and working together to become stronger every week.

REVIEWSROUND16
Mansfield 21 defeated by Mooroopna 72 Best on court, sponsored by O’Malley’s Pizza - Molly Dunn Coaches Award, sponsored by George and AlRoy - Jess Dolling Captains Award - Jamie Davis IT was a big day this Saturday as the club celebrated Leonie’s 450th game.The U17s girls faced off against the Mooroopna Cats, who unfortunately managed to take home a win after a strong fight from both sides. Chloe Judge and Brooke Kipping were sorely missed in defence, but Jess Dolling and Molly Dunn stepped up and made a great effort in positions that they didn’t have a lot of experience in, experimenting and working together to wear out the Cats’ attack and make them work hard to be an option. Mia Ciarma and Zoe Greene played a great game in defence, shutting down their players and consistently providing attacking options throughout the midcourt. Isabelle Byrne and Rose Mathieson were constantly working to break through the Cats’ defence, working the ball onto the ring beautifully, and getting many intercepts and tips along the way. Remy Stevenson and Emma Witkiss came up from U15s and pulled off two incredible games that day, easily gelling with the team and making a huge difference on court. Tahlia Middleton and Jamie Davis were relentless in attack, having to work even harder than usually, but they stepped up to the challenge and made a dent in Mooroopna’s final score. Shout out to the coaches Toy and Te who made all the right decisions on the day and supported everyone through playing in different positions. It was a great fight from our girls and we’re excited to face Kyabram next weekend.

Our defensive pressure stunned Mooroopna and lead to multiple turnovers in the mid court and opposing goal end, which we were able to convert into a comfortable lead.We were up 21 points to two at quarter time. We went into the remaining quarters wanting to ‘build’ rather than maintain thanks to our quarter break rev up speeches from Captain Caz and wise words from Coach Mich. Our disruption continued, Mansfield GK Robbie took two great intercepts and lady of the match Leonie also facilitated a few steals.Weshot a total of 17 goals in quarter two, giving us a 28 point lead coming in to the second half Q3 saw some great offensive help down the court from our WA Stacey and WD Alison, and our goalers continued to find the right position in the circle and outsmart theirWedefenders.broughtit home in the last quarter with a few match highlights.GDSarah did well to rebound Mooroopna’s missed shots and send it back to our goal end and GA Jess took a lovely intercept to keep our momentum. Our GS Isobel sunk one from downtown after the buzzer to bring the final score to 69 to 27, in Mansfield’s favour. Well done Eagles, and congratulations Lones, we are all so proud.

A BYGRADESTEPHANIE WARD Bonnie Doon 45 defeated Bright 40 Best on Court Anna Manning sponsored by BP Coaches Award Stephanie Ward sponsored by MMVTR Fan favourite: Mia Tanner sponsored by Mounsey and Tanner Families WELL, Doon turned on the weather for the last game of the home and away season. The A grade girls were eager and looking forward to their last game after a disappointing near miss at a finals campaign. We had nothing to lose, and were able to feel the warmth of the sunshine and just enjoy the game.Our starting line-up was much the same in the defensive circle with Anna at GK and Casey in GD, but we mixed it up with Shan starting at WD and Sarah taking the Centre bib to begin with. Mia, Portia and Steph completed our girl third line up and Panky loudly supported us from the side for the first quarter. It wasn’t a bad start, but it was a little messy and panicked, we went into quarter time two down but eager to redeem the first quarter and get back in it. Michelle made some changes, putting Mia in at GA to shake up the goal circle and Panky into WD allowing Shan and Sarah to return to their preferred positions at C and WA respectively. This quarter looked much better, gentle reminders at the timeout of trying to enjoy it helped, the girls looked to be present and just enjoying the flow of the Withgame.acouple of hard earned beautiful long shots from Portia and Mia we were able to even the score going into half time. The Bright girls were no pushovers, probably unlucky with numbers and changes in their team and they challenged the Doon girls on every ball, however the Doon girls continued to drive hard and strong and looked reasonably calm and collected for most of the time. Half time had us both sitting at 21 goals apiece. We knew we were more than capable of winning the game. The third quarter was a good one; we switched it up again with Steph fired up and ready to come on for a good hard run in C allowing Shan to have a welldeserved rest. We capitalised on our turnovers and kept working hard to contest and win ball. The change in the girls was apparent and there were smiles all-round the court, something that we have all aimed to do more of as such a young team full of ability but sometimes allowing the pressure to get to us. Three quarter time had us in the lead by five. More building to do though as per Michelle and she asked us to continue to work on extending the lead into the fourth. Anna moved out to GD to have a run and Casey into GK to perform her damn good quick footwork on the Bright shooters. Shan came back on to C and Steph moved to WA, Mia and Portia combining well and continuing on their merry way at GA and GS. We did mostly increase our lead mostly due to the hard work of Panky, Casey and Anna in tips and gains of ball. At some point up by 12 in the last but fatigue and the sunshine creeping in and slowing us down a little.Wekept on keeping on though. It was nice to enjoy a game of netball against another small town team with big supporters. The girls were a pleasure to play against.OurA graders continued to push though and in the end won byPossiblyfive. a little bit too much “just enjoying the game” towards the end as we watched them creep up a bit on the scoreboard.

B BYRESERVENATALIE TAYLOR Bonnie Doon 70 defeated Bright 33 Best on court: Leith Mounsey sponsored by BP Coaches Award: Natalie Taylor sponsored by Mansfield Coffee Merchant EXPERIENCE, poise and skill was demonstrated from start to finish.The trust and belief that the girls have in each other is all inspiring.Dominance shone by goalers with Mish shooting 40 goals and 30 goals by Chrissy. The mid courter’s, Amy, Leith, Ally and Nat provided exceptional movement and ball feeds. Positional rotations were seem less, with everyone playing their role and playing them well. Captain Leith’s work rate was huge and paid off with lots of awesome tips and intercepts while playing an attacking role. Terrific to have Hannah back and the defense was well supported with Cassie and Narelle. Extremely pleasing to finish the season off, so strongly not to mention to consolidate sitting at the top of the ladder. We will now have a week off to freshen the bodies in readiness for our first final against North Wang in a fortnight.

REVIEWSROUND 20
Bonnie Doon 45 defeated Bright 17 Best on Court: Charlotte & Erin Brond Sponsored by Walsh’s Gas & Mansfield Holiday Letting THE Baby Bombers woke up expecting horrid weather but instead got the shining sun. In the first quarter our shooters, Grace Revell and Chloe Cash, barely missed, putting us in the lead.The midcourt of Casey Hearmon and Poppy Seja drove strong and delivered beautiful feeds into the ring. The defensive end, Erin Brond, Tahlia Browning and Charlotte Atherton read the play well, resulting in many tips and intercepts.Inthesecond and third quarter fatigue errors started to show, but the bombers kept pushing. The fourth quarter some position changes were made, with under 15s Emerson Keatch and Stella Brakles stepping on in goal keeper and goal attack respectively, Charlotte going into GD, Erin into WD and Tahlia in C. Some say the third quarter is the premiership quarter, but today it was our fourth, with Bright scoring two for the quarter against our 13. A good win for the end of the home and away season. The Baby Bombers finish second on the ladder and have the first week of finals off. We play the second week of finals at Milawa against the one team we lost to this year. Good win today girls and good luck for finals.

Eagles over Maggies
Final Score Mansfield 7 11 (53) def Wang Magpies 7 4 (46).Best Will Friday, Hunter Reeve, Riley Northcott, Riley Hall, Kai Longstaff, and Harry Purcell.
IT was a very excited Eagles 17s outfit that travelled to the Wang Showgrounds to play at the Wang Maggies’ home ground in the qualifying final last Sunday. It wasn’t lost on anyone what a great opportunity this was for us as a team to be part of something special and that we had all worked hard to get to this stage, so this was the theme by which our players took to the ground. Unfortunately, the Maggies won the toss and chose to kick with a strong cold wind, but once the ball was bounced this did not seem to effect the game at all with our boys settling in pretty well and playing our fast brand of footy. Will Friday was outstanding, as was Riley Northcott who kicked the first of the game, closely followed by two from Harry Purcell playing at centre half forward. At the first break we led by 21 points with the Magpies failing to register a score. In the second it was business as usual with some great play especially from our back six led by captain Kai Longstaff and some great efforts by Riley Hall, AJ Thomson and OscarJackClelland.Marks was everywhere and Adam Storer playing midfield snuck forward and kicked a goal and with Harry Purcell’s extra two and this put us up by 26 points at the main break. In the third our boys started losing their way a bit as the Maggies came at us hard with the wind and with a final on the line there was a lot of physical contests and 50/50 balls that didn’t go our way. A nice kick from Harry P into the goal square to Jack Stoney who kicked his first was a highlight, but we were outscored two goals one, to one goal for the quarter, setting up a tense last. The opposition held their momentum and kicked a couple of quick goals early which really put the heat on ourDanboys.Bruno and Sam Guppy were the two lads that really stood up and although we had a lot of the play and we were kicking with a tricky breeze but we only managed six behinds for the quarter with the opposition kicking three goals straight. We managed to lock it into our forward line in the last five minutes and hung on for the win. We feel we played the better footy for the day with 18 scoring shots to 11 and winning by seven points, but there is some lessons to be learned before we play top placed Myrtleford for a spot in the Grand Final.

Eagles sink clawssink Mooroopna
THE Eagles have delivered a trio of wins to a home crowd, beating the Mooroopna Cats in all three footy matches on the weekend. The seniors match was the closest fought.Itwas an evenly matched first term, but the Eagles had their noses in front by three points heading into theThesecond.Catskicked true in return, while the Eagles remained silent, and all of sudden Mooroopna were up by a couple of goals at the turn. Buoyed by a home ground advantage and the town on its side, the Eagles rallied in the third and fourth quarters, with Cam Arnold kicking four and Ben Christopher and Corey Rich slotting three apiece. The Cats struggled to sink their claws into anything as a battlehardened Eagles outfit strode confidently towards the finish line to take the win by two goals and two points.Mansfield seniors 12.10 (82) to Mooroopna seniors (10.8 (68). Best for the Eagles was Tom McDonagh, Corey Rich, Ross Brown, Cameron Arnold, and Tom Dunstan. Standouts for the Cats included Ben Hicks, Oscar Lear-Camci, Christopher Nield, Ethan Hunt, and LiamTheBetson.closefought battle in the seniors wasn’t preceded by anything similar, as Mansfield’s reserves administered a drubbing to Mooroopna’s seconds, who in all fairness appeared to field a depleted line-up.A152 point victory was punctuated by a bag of nine goals from William Christopher, ably supported by Luke Benton who booted six. The first quarter was actually evenly matched, Mansfield only leading by ten at the first break. But the blue and gold boys ran away with it after that, kicking 31 goals in total to the Cats meagre six. Final scores were Mansfield reserves 31.10 (196) to Mooroopna reserves 6.8 (44). Best for the Eagles: Will James, Flynn Harding, William Christopher, Sean Purcell, and Thomas Sheahan. Fortunately for the home crowd, and unfortunately for the visitors, the day started in the same fashion when the U18s development sides took to the field. The young Eagles fired on all cylinders all game to run away with a 10 goal win. The Cats simply didn’t have the firepower to match the Eagles, highlighted by a bag of eight goals from Oliver Sestan. Final scores - Mansfield U18s 15.15 (105) to Mooroopna U18s 6.3 (39). Best for the Eagles were Oliver Sestan, Cody George, Patrick Dunstan, Nathan Buchanan, and Ben Les.Standout Cats included Riley Moon, Damon Moloney, Toby Williams, Ben Butts, and Will Wood. The U18s occupy fourth on their respective ladder, the ressies sit in fifth, while the seniors are now a game clear of Euroa in second place. Another home game this coming weekend will see the Mansfield Eagles tackle Kyabram’s Bombers in what promises to be a hard fought series of contests.
FLYING: Eagles ruckman Tom McDonagh flies for the knock out while Brett Mahoney comes to assist.
