TODAY will be a special homecoming for Wangaratta’s own Captain Cameron Wilson.

It will be his first Anzac Day in Wangaratta since he joined the Australian Defence Force after completing year 12 at Galen Catholic College in 2006.

Captain Wilson, who now instructs pilots how to fly ARH Tiger two-seater attack helicopters at the Oakey Base near Toowoomba, will be giving today’s official address at Wangaratta’s main 11am Anzac Day service at the Wangaratta Cenotaph.

A large crowd is expected to watch the traditional Anzac Day march leaving King George V Gardens at 10.40am and proceeding up Ovens Street to the cenotaph for the service.

Weather permitting, a WW2 Kittyhawk fighter aircraft will fly over the cenotaph at 11am to mark the start of the service.

Dawn services were also being held in Wangaratta, Eldorado and Whitfield this morning, with a 9am service at Everton and 9.30am service in the Moyhu Lions Park.

AN alleged car thief is in custody following a dramatic high speed chase between Albury and Benalla on Saturday that involved the suspect driving in the wrong direction against traffic on the Hume Freeway.

Police allege the 23-yearold Albury man stole a black Mitsubishi Triton utility from a Wangaratta premises in the Baltimore Estate at about 3.15am on Saturday.

BY STEVE KELLY skelly@ nemedia.com.au

The owner of the vehicle noticed it was missing later that morning, but fortunately the vehicle had a GPS tracker, assisting with the location of its whereabouts.

Police attempted to

intercept the vehicle near the border, however, the suspect allegedly drove at high speeds south along the Hume Freeway to avoid capture.

Senior Constable Paul Groves of Wangaratta police said a Victoria Police chopper was deployed to provide aerial support and the road pursuit was terminated as the suspect entered a Benalla residential area.

“The suspect drove around several back roads in Benalla and it was not safe for road policing units to continue their pursuit at this time,” Sen Const Groves said.

“He has then entered the southbound lane of the Hume Freeway via the off ramp and continued driving north against the direction traffic.”

The dramatic pursuit

came to an end at about 12 noon when it’s believed the stolen vehicle ran out of fuel near Bowers Road at Winton.

Despite three police units and the chopper in pursuit at this time, the man continued to try and evade capture by leaving the vehicle and running through paddocks until he was caught.

Sen Const Groves said

the man was apprehended and taken to the Wangaratta Police Station for questioning.

He said the accused was charged with offences relating to theft of motor vehicle, theft from motor vehicles, and dangerous driving.

The accused was remanded in custody to appear at Benalla Magistrates Court tomorrow.

WANGARATTA is still in the mix to lure world class athletes to local venues for pre-Commonwealth Games training and practice despite it missing out on being named as one of four regional cities to stage events.

Geelong, Bendigo, Ballarat and Gippsland will have athlete villages purpose-built ahead of the Games to accommodate competing athletes.

It is estimated the 2026 Commonwealth Games will contribute more than $3 billion to Victoria’s economy, creating more than 600 full-time equivalent jobs before the Games, 3900 jobs during the Games and a further 3000 jobs beyond the closing ceremony.

Premier Daniel Andrews last week confirmed all parts of regional Victoria will share in the running of the 2026 Commonwealth Games even though major regional cities like Wangaratta and Wodonga were left off the list of hubs.

“We’ve announced four hubs because we have to build athletes villages, but there will be training camps, competition practice, a cultural program - the likes of which we’ve never seen before,” Mr Andrews said.

“There will be deep engagement with every single community to make sure every single part of regional Victoria - the best part of regional Australia - shares in what is a unique event.

“We didn’t want to do a rerun of 2006 (Commonwealth Games) when it was all in Melbourne and a handful of events in regional Victoria.

“We didn’t want to do the same thing again, we wanted to do something different, something that’s really powerful and I think this will be fantastic for regional Victoria.”

The Queen’s baton relay will also take place across Australia prior to the 2026 Commonwealth Games, which allows nominated community stalwarts and champions to carry the baton.

CROWD FAVOURITE: Olympic swimmer (then 15 years old) Belinda Hocking was one of several locals to carry the Queen’s baton a month before the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The 2026 Queen’s baton will travel around the country before the Games in four years’ time..

ANZAC Day Lest we forget - 25th of April

May we pause on this day in recognition for the members of the Australian Defence Force who made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting our country. We thank you.

10 in Indi battle Candidates,, ballot order confirmed for Mayy federal election

By RYAN MALCOLM A LEARNER driver who crashed into a Murdoch Road house on Thursday evening was under the influence of alcohol.

Sergeant Brendan Lampkin of Wangaratta police said the 27-yearold Wangaratta man had failed to stop near the Cribbes Road and Murdoch Road intersection, travelling straight through before careening through the side of a vacant house.

INDI electorate voters have 10 candidates vying for their support in this federal election.

Australian Electoral Commission Indi returning officer, Jenny Essex, confirmed the 10 candidates and conducted the official ballot draw, attended by six of the contenders and around 70 interested onlookers, at St Patrick’s Hall in Wangaratta at noon on Friday.

Animal Justice Party candidate Angel Aleksov of Princess Hills is at the top of the ballot card, followed by: Independent incumbent Helen Haines, Lachlan O’Connell (Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party), Stephen Williams (United Australia Party), Beth Stevens (One Nation), Benjamin Gilbert (Greens), Liz Fisher (Nationals), Nadia David (Labor), Julian Fidge (Liberal Democrats) and Ross Lyman (Liberals).

Not since 2013, when 11 candidates contested the seat - which Independent Helen McGowan won from Liberal incumbent Sophie Mirabella - has the electorate being offered such a diverse range of choice.

Ms Essex said 67 voting stations will be opened across the Indi electorate on polling day, but those wanting to vote before Saturday, May 21 will have access to pre-polling centres in Wangaratta (St Pat’s Hall), Wodonga, Benalla, Mansfield and Bright from Monday, May 9.

Speaking at the draw, Dr Haines said the past two weeks of campaigning had only sought to solidify the issues that she said have been front and centre over the past three years of her term.

“People really care a lot about honesty and decency, and they’re also raising their concerns about the rising costs of living, housing stress, aged care, health

UP FOR THE CONTEST: Indi candidates who attended the ballot draw in Wangaratta on Friday were (from left) Dr Julian Fidge, Beth Stevens, Stephen Williams, Benjamin Gilbert, Helen Haines and Nadia David.

“They’re all important issues for Indi.”

Liberals’ Ross Lyman, who was unable to attend the draw due to a health forum engagement in Wodonga - where the Victorian Government announced $300m for a new Albury Wodonga Hospital - said he too was hearing key themes across the North East.

He said more investment in road, rail, renewable energy, health, education and communications; supporting manufacturing businesses and the agriculture sector to create more employment; and strengthen the trade and tourism sectors to grow the local economy were all part of his “practical, local plan for a stronger future” for Indi.

Labor’s Nadia David, surrounded by supporters at the draw, echoed similar sentiments, and said throughout her door knocking on the hustings over recent months people were “genuinely excited to see someone (herself) who could potentially be in government”.

“Indi has a very good local member who works hard but gets nothing,” she said,

believing support for Labor was building and doubling its primary vote (12.09 per cent in 2019) in Indi was certainly achievable.

Greens candidate Benjamin Gilbert said his campaign would focus on climate change, affordable housing, childcare and increasing taxes on large corporations.

He said he was seeing good support for the Greens and “we literally don’t have enough corflutes for all the people that want them”.

Liberal Democrats’ candidate Dr Julian Fidge said his party’s stance around personal freedoms, specifically no vaccine mandate, was one of the many sensible policies that was resonating with many in the electorate.

“Unlike the Liberal-Nationals Coalition, we don’t believe market forces should run everything, and we’re not socialist like Labor,” he said.

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation candidate Beth Stevens believes most of her party’s policies will benefit Indi, but said local residents are particularly concerned with the state of the regional health system.

“A lot of people do discuss the health situation at the

moment, like the Albury Wodonga hospital going into code yellow, the ambulance situation, that’s a concern for everybody,” she said.

United Australia Party candidate Stephen Williams said his first foray into federal politics had been prompted by “the madness of the last two years, and the loss of freedom and rights”.

The father of six, who has run a successful lawn mowing business in Tawonga since 2011, said he was “running to get elected” and believed his party and its policies were the “best choice for regional Australia”.

Nationals’ candidate Liz Fisher said people, businesses and councils she was meeting with across the electorate she has lived in for two decades, said better roads and infrastructure, mobile reception and communications, with health services, were key concerns.

“I know it’s difficult to get an appointment with your GP, sometimes three weeks wait...attracting and retaining GPs, increasing bulk billing services, and keeping telehealth permanent and universal are critical to strengthen health care in Indi,” she said.

who was deemed an unsuitable supervisor for a learner driver, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The driver neglected to attend hospital, instead accompanying officers to Wangaratta Police Station, when an evidentiary breath test returned a blood alcohol concentration of more than 0.1, resulting in automatic suspension of his learner permit.

The driver is expected to face Wangaratta Magistrates Court at a later date.

Driver avoids injury in high-speed crash

By RYAN MALCOLM A FEMALE driver who crashed into a wire barrier on the Hume Freeway near Glenrowan has escaped without injury.

Benalla Highway Patrol, general duties and Wangaratta general duties members attended the crash site just before 7am on Friday morning, after a vehicle travelling southbound left the road at speed near the adjacent Chivers Road.

According to Senior

Constable Kerri Croxford of Benalla Highway Patrol, Ambulance Victoria members assessed the driver’s wellbeing at the scene before discharging her without need for hospitalisation.

Sen Const Croxford also confirmed the driver had not been under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash.

The vehicle suffered extensive damage, and was ultimately towed from the scene.

VMCH are planning to build new houses in Wangaratta for people with disability, and want to hear from this community on their housing needs.

options that VMCH can provide.

BOORHAMAN farmer Peter Seymour (pictured) estimates last month‘s floods cost him around $5000. “We lost two cows, but out biggest loss was the damage to 85 rolls of hay,” he said. Mr Seymour, whose family has been in the district for over 100 years, said it was the worst flood in Boorhaman‘s recorded history.

State should be ashamed Monday, April 23, 2012

By STEVEN BURKE THE State Government should be “ashamed” of itself over an anomaly preventing local flood ravaged farmers accessing recovery grants, according to Rural City of Wangaratta councillor Rozi Parisotto.

Speaking at council‘s meeting last week, Cr Parisotto said it was ridiculous that Wangaratta ratepayers are ineligible for $25,000 clean up grants, which are available to those affected by the March floods in Moira, Shepparton, Towong and Indigo local government areas.

Those at the meeting were told some 12 properties in the rural city would be eligible for the funding if Wangaratta wasn‘t excluded from the grants.

Council‘s director – community wellbeing,

Ruth Tai, also explained the extent of some of the damage to the region.

“Although the number of properties impacted upon appear in lower numbers there is a significant amount of acreage that has been identified as being impacted to such an extent that some of that land is unusable still at this stage,” she said.

Cr Parisotto said it shouldn‘t matter what municipality someone was in.

“As far as I‘m concerned when you‘re affected by flood, we‘re all affected equally,” she said.

“It has an effect financially, it has a long term effect physically and mentally, and horrific effect

on sustainability of the enterprise or business.

“It‘s very disappointing the State Government believes that because of the small numbers, in their eyes, it‘s not necessary to provide the same eligibility.

“They should be ashamed of it.”

A spokesperson from the Premier‘s department said the “Category C” funding (which enables people to access $25,000 clean up grants) is for “severe effects”.

“The government is collecting information from all of those local government areas and providing it to the Commonwealth,” the spokesperson said.

“In his request to the Prime Minister for flood assistance, the Premier specifically mentioned the Wangaratta area as a location that had seen major flooding.”

Communications boost for Tarra

HARD AT WORK: University student Lucille Milne and centre manager Mark van Bergen using the computers at the new CUC Wangaratta site.

CUC Wangaratta site now open

By BRODIE EVERIST COUNTRY Universities Centre Ovens-Murray has opened new educational sites in Wangaratta and Mansfield, providing remote-learning students with free study facilities.

The Wangaratta site is equipped with computers, high-speed internet, free printing and academic support.

It is open seven days a week, from 7am to midnight.

“Students can be studying at any university, doing any course and we can support them,” said centre manager Mark van Bergen.

“Although the universities offer great supports online, having a physical space where you can move away from your kitchen table, you

can get away from the distractions and find a centre.”

Bachelor of psychotherapy student Lucille Milne was keen to start using the facilities.

“I saw there was a press release about these centres being opened, and I went to the Facebook page and started messaging Mark saying, ‘when’s it gonna open?

When’s it gonna open? ‘” she said.

“It’s so exciting to have a place to come and work and print stuff off and just really focus and potentially meet other students.”

The Wangaratta site is currently on the GOTAFE campus on Docker St, but will be moving to the soon-to-be refurbished Cusack House later this year, according to Mr van Bergen.

THE Morrison Government is delivering a new mobile phone tower to the residents of Tarrawingee, which will provide better connectivity for the local community.

Minister for Regional Communications, Senator Bridget McKenzie, said the Tarrawingee project forms part of the Liberal and Nationals Government’s continuing rollout of the $257 million Regional Connectivity Program (RCP).

Minister McKenzie said through round one of the RCP, the Liberal and Nationals Government funded more than 130 projects in country communities, including four projects in the electorate of Indi, and these new projects build on the government’s past investment in the program.

“I’m very pleased that residents, business and visitors to Tarrawingee will soon be able to enjoy the benefits and opportunities that this project will bring in terms of improved mobile voice coverage and digital connectivity to support their community,” Minister McKenzie said.

“The Liberal and Nationals Government is investing $518,900 to deploy a new Telstra macro cell mobile site in the country town of Tarrawingee improving handheld coverage to a known blackspot area under the round two of the Regional Connectivity Program.

“Digital connectivity is an essential part of how we work, learn, stay healthy

“The Liberals and Nationals will continue to invest in this critical infrastructure as part of our plan for a strong economy and stronger future.”

Minister McKenzie said the Liberal and Nationals Government has continued to take a collaborative approach with the telecommunications industry, and regional and remote communities, to make sure that the funded projects are tailored to the needs of each region.

“By contrast, Labor has not funded a single mobile tower in regional Australia, in fact they have recently announced an Albanese led government will cut $155 million from the budget for regional communications,” Minister McKenzie said.

The Nationals candidate for Indi Liz Fisher

welcomed the investment for Tarrawingee under the round two of the Regional Connectivity Program.

“The people of Tarrawingee have been asking for improved coverage and when I met with the Rural City of Wangaratta Council, they too advocated strongly for better coverage,” Ms Fisher said.

“I welcome this great investment by the Liberal and Nationals Government, which will deliver improved mobile voice and wireless broadband coverage to an area of about 726 square kilometres and up to 231 dwellings and premises.”

“This means locals will have improved access to essential services such as telehealth and education.”

Liberal candidate for Indi, Ross Lyman also welcomed the announcement.

“I’m pleased that more residents and businesses in

the electorate of Indi will soon be able to enjoy the benefits and opportunities that this project will bring in terms of digital connectivity,” Mr Lyman said Independent incumbent Helen Haines advocated for the tower to be installed.

“I join with the Tarrawingee community in celebrating this announcement of a new macro-cell tower as part of the Regional Connectivity Program,” Dr Haines said.

“I have worked closely with the Tarrawingee community to make this a reality, working with Telstra on the application to the program and tabling a petition from locals in Parliament to make the tower a priority.

“I’m proud that since Indi became Independent, we have been the most successful electorate in Victoria when it comes to federally funded mobile towers.”

NOTE: Comments as they appear online, without corrections.

Anzac Day march, service returns IT has been a long time coming, but after a three-year wait, the Anzac Day march and service will return to Wangaratta today.

Anzac Day is a time when many locals take the time to pay homage to past and present service men and women who fought in all wars in our nation’s history.

Particularly the tragedy of World War One when brave soldiers stormed the beach at Anzac Cove on that fateful day back in 1915.

But there have been wars before and many wars since where Australian soldiers have fought for the freedom of our way of life and we pay tribute to those people and their families for the sacrifices they have made.

Large crowds are expected to attend the dawn and 11am services in Wangaratta after such a hiatus with the events.

The dawn service is always a poignant moment to reflect on the service of these men and women and what they have done for our country.

Former resident Captain Cameron Wilson, who now instructs pilots how to fly ARH Tiger two-seater attack helicopters at the Oakey Base near Toowoomba, will be giving today’s official address at Wangaratta’s main 11am Anzac service.

There are also other services around the city at Moyhu, Eldorado and Everton.

These services will allow the community to come together after what has truly been a testing time for people over the last two years.

After a long time of altered freedoms due to COVID restrictions, many would have a new appreciation about what the Australian Armed Forces have fought so hard for and today is a time to show this appreciation.

Elections are serious and our votes count IN response to Peter Leonard‘s letter, Chronicle April 8.

Peter, you say Helen Haines is a nice person.

I say the Liberal candidate for Indi Ross Lyman is a nice person.

You say Vices for Indi gather in a group are are nice people.

I say there is a federal election next month and very serious questions need to be asked.

1 – China is knocking on our door step.

Who do we want to handle this? Peter Dutton or the unknown Labour defence minister.

2 – There is a huge one–off COVID debt to be paid ack.

Who do we trust to repay this debt keeping in mind Labour creates debt and Liberals pay back debt?

We all know the cost of living is rising.

We all know interest rates are going up.

We all know inflation is on the rise.

We all know Helen Haines supports Labour.

So many things need to be controlled or Australia‘s economy will spiral out of control.

This is not the time to change the government Australia can‘t risk a Labour government.

Indi must play its part by electing the Liberal candidate Ross Lyman.

Dingoes are not wild dogs so need protection IT is time to stop using the term ‘wild dog‘ to describe a dingo.

While this threatened species is continued to be called a ‘wild dog‘, it will not receive the protection that it needs and is currently legislated by the Victorian government.

The dingo is not a feral animal – unlike the local wild populations of horses, deer, pigs, rabbits and foxes – it is an important top order predator, indigenous to Australia for over 4000 years.

A recent scientific study by Dr Kylie Cairns of the University of NSW has shown that cross breeding (hybridisation) between dogs and dingoes is vastly over stated and that most of the so called ‘wild dogs‘ are actually more than 65 per cent pure dingo and many, many are 100 per cent dingo.

Of the four dingo cubs found in North East Victoria over the last few years (including the famous Wandi the Dingo), all have been DNA tested and proven to be pure Alpine dingo.

By not DNA testing all pelts that are handed in, they are missing an important data set – potential proof that a pure Alpine dingo population exists in this area and that ‘wild dogs‘ are in fact a rarity.

And before some unedifying pile on begins, I live on a sheep farm, I‘ve seen what damage can be done.

I would, however, argue that if the word ‘wild dog‘ is discontinued and we call these important native animals what they are – dingoes – additional scientific study may bring some positive change to their management because indiscriminate poisoning with 1080 is not the answer.

Share a different vision for our country SADLY, so far, the election campaign has mostly become a slanging match with the major parties, with handouts to local electorates without any understanding of how this fits in with Australia‘s needs as a whole.

Never yet have I heard any of the major party leaders spell out their vision for Australia and its people.

How can we make a judgment as to which party or independent we shall vote for?

Or do we simply vote the same way as last time?

In 2021, the Uniting Church‘s National Body published its vision for Australia under the title ‘Our Vision for a Just Australia‘.

On Sunday, May 1, this vision will be the theme of the sermon in the 9.30am worship service.

The Uniting Church is an open church and welcomes anyone to its worship services.

Come along and learn of the vision.

McCurdy calls for burn-off review

TREASURED COLLECTION: Rural City of Wangaratta acting manager arts, culture and event Simone Nolan and Wangaratta Historical Society acting secretary Helen Al Helwani, are looking forward to welcoming more volunteers on board to help preserve the city’s museum and prized exhibits.

Community history matters

THE Wangaratta Historical Society is hopeful interested members of the community who turned out recently in a show of support will help to keep the society and the rural city’s museum open.

More than 20 people attended an extraordinary meeting at the Wangaratta Library on April 11, held after a recent annual general meeting failed to find enough people to fill leadership positions.

Acting secretary Helen Al Helwani said she was delighted by the level of interest and

BY ANITA McPHERSON amcpherson@ nemedia.com.au

the range of experience and skills offered by those who came along.

“Our situation seems to have sparked a lot of interest and it looks like we’re going to have some new members with really good skills,” she said.

“Our speaker Cameron Auty spoke really well and was

quite inspiring, so it’s all looking very promising, which is just wonderful.”

Ms Al Helwani said as people have to be financial members for a minimum period of time before they can vote at a meeting, a second extraordinary meeting will be held on June 2 in the hope of finalising the committee.

She said some people didn’t realise how much work had already been done and how clear the society’s policies were, which meant there was opportunity to contrib-

ute in a fulfilling way.

While over 35000 of the accredited museum’s objects had already been scanned and are on Victorian collections, displays still need to be done, so there was scope for people to be creative.

The next meeting will be held on June 2 at 5pm in the community room at the Wangaratta Library where a vote for the three outstanding executive positions and committee member will take place.

All interested are welcome to attend.

THE outcome of a 340 hectare planned burn at the Warby Ovens National Park during the Labour Day long weekend has been brought into question in parliament, after it was alleged the burn caused irreversible damage to the region.

During an April 7 sitting of the Legislative Assembly, Ovens Valley MP Tim McCurdy called for Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio to visit the affected burn site, following concerns raised by a local resident who said the burn had failed to achieve any meaningful fuel reduction outcomes.

“I recently met with a local resident whose property borders along the Warby Ovens National Park who confirmed that on the Labour Day long weekend, Sunday, March 13 2022 this planned burn backfired,” he said.

“Instead, the burn destroyed thousands of old large live and dead trees and caused significant irreparable environmental damage.”

Planned burns are carried out with the intention of reducing forest fuel in an effort to allow firefighters to more

easily contain bushfires, an outcome which Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) Hume regional fuel manager Adam Green said had been achieved.

“FFMVic completed a 340 hectare planned burn in the Warby Ovens National Park on the March Labour Day long weekend to reduce the impact of future bushfires on the community and the environment,” he said.

“The fuel reduction burn successfully achieved these objectives.

“FFMVic consults communities and landholders before, during and after the ignition of planned burns - some members of the community have expressed concerns about the burn and we are working with them to better understand their concerns.”

A Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning spokesperson said the burn had impacted a 30 hectare area of the park which crews had initially hoped to avoid.

Ms D’Ambrosio is yet to commit to visiting the national park.

It’s never you, until it is.

More people die on farms than in other workplaces – let’s change that.

Ledger gift an art legacy of a lifetime for Benalla Across the Arts A RECENT re–hang of works from the gallery’s own collection sheds new light on the priceless gift bestowed by the Ledger family upon the Benalla Art Gallery.

The new exhibition is drawn entirely from the significant gift of works made by Laurence (Laurie) Ledger MBE, his wife Erma Ledger, and through their farming enterprise “Wooleen”.

By 1993 the Ledgers had donated more than 450 works to the Benalla Art Gallery which are dated from the 1840s through to the 1980s.

The incredible legacy has formed the foundation of the Benalla Art Gallery collection and featured in many thematic exhibitions in recent decades.

Presented in the salon style, the new exhibition features over 200 works; around half of the Ledgers’ total gift.

Benalla Art Gallery director Eric Nash said following the themed exhibitions over the past two years it was appropriate to now directly acknowledge the Ledgers, who remain arguably the gallery‘s most significant patrons to date.

Beyond the gift of artworks, in 1972, the Ledgers donated

AUSTRALIAN STORY: The renowned Ledger collection at the Benalla Art Gallery represents a history of white settlement in Australia and includes many beautiful landscapes. $75,000 to enable the design and construction of the Benalla Art Gallery.

Their generosity was again demonstrated through the establishment of an acquisition trust fund of $200,000.

“It is difficult to put into words the impact of such a significant philanthropic contribution,” said Mr Nash.

“Simply, it has enabled a really high quality and vibrant gallery program over the last 50 years.”

Australian art was a great passion for the Ledgers and with expert advice from specialists at Leonard Joel Art Auctioneers they built a renowned collection over a relatively short period that represents a history of white settlement in Australia.

Living on their pastoral property called Wooleen, near Winton, the Ledgers were also particularly drawn to works in the landscape genre.

Starting with 19th century Europe, the new Benalla Art Gal-

lery collection exhibition spans early colonial settlement in Australia; the Heidelberg School of Australian Art; Impressionism by Australian and French artists; through to Modernism – at home and abroad.

Thematic ties include a depiction of urban life, a celebration of women artists, dramatic seascapes and sweeping landscapes.

The Ledger Collection will remain on show in the Ledger Gallery into 2023.

WHAT’S UP WITH THE WEATHER?

By Peter Nelson,

former CSIRO climatologist

Welcome rainfall across the state LAST week saw much much needed rainfalls mainly in the Wimmera, Mallee, Northern Country and the western half of North East Victoria with many gauges over 50mms.

While Wangaratta, Eldorado and Yarrawonga only had around half that, heavier falls were seen in Bright (35.2mm), Harrietville (43.4mm), Cheshunt (44mm), Greta South (45.4mm), and Mt Buffalo (63.8mm).

Elsewhere in the state the heaviest falls over the three days included Swan Hill 70mms, and Bendigo, Tatura, Stanhope and Rochester all around 60mms.

Tatura had 43mms to 9am on April 19 and this was the town’s wettest April day since 1948.

This April has been in marked contrast to April last year when there were 13 days of frosts.

To date there has not been a single day of frost this month and the way things are going at present the first frost may not come until June.

In Wangaratta the first frost of the year occurring in June has happened only three times since 1957.

They were in 1958, 1974 and 1989.

This year has been noteworthy of large high pressure systems passing close to or south of Tasmania and creating an absence of strong, colder SSW changes.

This year there were 24 days of winds with an easterly component in January, 18 days in February, 17 days in March and 12 days to date this April which is already double the number of days of winds with an easterly component in April last year.

Jye Spinks a champion firefighter

BY RYAN MALCOLM rmalcolm@ nemedia.com.au

ONLY five years after joining the Wangaratta CFA brigade as a junior running team member, 19-year-old Jye Spinks has been crowned the station’s champion firefighter for 2021.

At a special presentation on Good Friday, longtime mentor 3rd Lieutenant John Seymour celebrated Mr Spinks’ passion and commitment to the local brigade, where he has become an integral member and turned out more than 300 times since completing his training in mid-2019.

Having attended his first session with the junior team as a 14-year-old in 2017, Mr Spinks grew to become part of a state championship winning ‘striking first and second dish’ team with Wangaratta in 2019, a rare taste of success for the local brigade.

After completing his wildfire firefighter training later that year, Mr Spinks began attending callouts as a volunteer, and instantly fell in love.

“I had some mates doing training with the CFA and they told me to come

HIGH PRAISE: 19-year-old Jye Spinks was last year’s champion firefighter for the Wangaratta Urban Fire Brigade.

“I thought ‘jeez this is pretty fun, I might stick around’.

“My first ever turnout

was a little chimney fire we were down at training and we were notified so everyone jumped in the trucks and set off.

“I did a little bit with the big bushfires (of 2019/20), I think I was part of one strike team.

“It wasn’t anything major

but I loved it.”

The champion firefighter award is presented to an outstanding Wangaratta Fire Brigade member based on

their number of turnouts, number of training sessions attended, attitude and general involvement.

Having coached the junior running team throughout Mr Spinks’ tenure, Mr Seymour said he was proud to see the young man exemplifying these traits among the senior ranks.

“He’s always willing to jump in and help out if there’s any work that needs to be done,” he said.

“He’s very reliable and extremely keen - he puts his name down for any training he can.

“It’s really outstanding for someone so young to have won that award and to have racked up that many turnouts.”

Having accomplished so much so far in his burgeoning career, Mr Spinks could be excused for setting lofty goals for his future.

But for now, Mr Spinks has tempered expectations.

“I just want to turnout as much as I can,” he said.

“Captaining a brigade would be good, or looking at being paid as a firefighter if I can.

“But for now I just want to turnout and help where I can and train the new firefighters coming through.”

NATIONAL NEWS

Inflation to determine rate hike timing ALL eyes will be on the release of the latest inflation data this week which could force the central bank to pull the trigger on interest rates to curb cost of living pressures.

The latest Reserve Bank board minutes show the RBA is ready for core inflation above three per cent when the figures are released on Wednesday, but a blowout could bring forward expectations for a rate hike.

The consumer price in-

dex for the March quarter is forecast to rise by 1.7 per cent to 4.6 per cent annually.

The more crucial number is underlying inflation, which market economists tip to come in at 1.2 per cent for the March quarter and around 3.4 per cent year on year, above the RBA’s two to three per cent target.

KPMG senior economist Sarah Hunter said both headline and core inflation are set for a significant lift

from their December quarter level of 3.5 per cent and 2.6 per cent respectively but the question is how much.

“We could see headline inflation rise above four per cent and core three per cent, which will put further pressure on the RBA to begin raising the cash rate sooner rather than later,” she said.

Dr Hunter said imminent cash rate hikes - the first in more than a decade - are already having a flow-on effect

in the mortgages market, with banks starting to adjust their lending rates.

But the RBA wants to see a meaningful rise in wages before it takes action, and will be wary of moving during a federal election campaign.

The wage price index isn’t due until May 18, proving the final piece of the data puzzle for an expected rate rise in June.

“Though the bar appears high, a stellar core CPI print still has the potential to

bring forward the first rate hike to May,” NAB economist Taylor Nugent said.

Australian markets will reopen on Tuesday after the Anzac Day holiday and will need to play catch-up with offshore volatility.

Australian share futures are pointing to a sharply lower open when trading resumes after the long weekend, and last traded down 121 points at 7327.

US stocks tumbled on Friday with all three main

benchmarks ending in negative territory for the week, in anticipation of aggressive interest rate rises from the Federal Reserve.

It was the third straight week of losses for the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq, while the Dow Jones posted its fourth weekly decline in a row.

The Dow’s 2.82 per cent drop on Friday was its biggest one-day fall since October 2020.

PM, Labor make big election cash pledges THE prime minister has doubled down on the coalition’s promise not to introduce new taxes as Labor pledges to throw more than $500 million at Veterans’ Affairs to fix a backlog in support claims.

Both sides kicked off Sunday’s campaigning with big cash pledges as Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese remains in isolation with COVID-19.

Mr Morrison’s pledge will see $100 billion added to the national debt as part of a “lower tax guarantee” with no new income, superan-

nuation, business or housing taxes if the Liberal-National coalition is re-elected.

“Lower taxes are at the heart of our economic plan for a stronger economy and stronger future,” the prime minister said.

The coalition is upping the scare campaign by suggesting Labor will introduce new taxes, despite the opposition already ruling it out.

Labor has floated taking stronger action to curb multinational tax evasion and said more details on their plan would be

announced soon.

Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the latest announcement from the Liberals was contrary to a commitment Australia had previously made.

“The prime minister ... appears to be walking away from a deal Australia said that we want to be part of, 130 countries around the world who recognise that we need a fairer way to tax multinationals so they’re paying their fair share in the countries where they make their profits,” he told ABC’s Insiders on Sunday.

PM pledges funds to secure Northern Territory CENTRAL Australia and the Top End have been promised investments worth millions to tackle crime and deliver jobs as part of the coalition’s bid for marginal seats in the Northern Territory.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday announced a $14 million election commitment for Alice Springs to support a community-led response to reduce crime rates.

This is alongside a $300 million package for a new hydrogen hub and multiple carbon capture storage sites in Darwin.

In Alice Springs, assaults

have risen by almost six per cent in the past 12 months, house break-ins are up more than 46 per cent and commercial break-ins have increased by more than 60 per cent.

The funding will improve CCTV, finance local diversionary activities, support more community patrols and a new Head to Health centre to improve access to mental health services.

Alice Springs Town Council will be provided $2 million as part of their plan to regenerate the centre and invest in a new youth-focused area for the public library.

Of the pledge to boost the territory’s potential as an energy powerhouse, Mr Morrison said the projects would deliver an estimated $1.9 billion worth of total investment and create more than 3800 jobs.

He also promised to increase regional apprenticeships with an additional five per cent wage subsidy in their first year, if the coalition is elected.

This will be on top of the 10 per cent support provided through the Australian Apprenticeships Incentive System.

-AAP

Mr Morrison says his new tax guarantee will mean Australians will be $100 billion better off but there are questions over whether this figure represents already legislated cuts.

Meanwhile, Mr Albanese has dubbed a crisis in Veterans’ Affairs a “national disgrace” with the opposition saying unresolved claims for help have hit 60,000.

“For so many of our veterans, the war does not end when they leave the battlefield. Just as they stepped up for us, we must step up for

them,” Mr Albanese said.

Labor’s announcement of more than $500 million for Veterans’ Affairs, on the eve of Anzac Day, aims to cut waiting times, build new support hubs, increase veteran home ownership and boost pension and employment programs.

On Friday, the prime minister announced a re-elected coalition government would establish 14 new Veteran Wellbeing Centres providing access to health and wellbeing support, at a cost of $70 million.

China promotes coal in emissions setback CHINA is promoting coalfired power as the ruling Communist Party tries to revive a sluggish economy, prompting warnings Beijing is setting back efforts to cut climate-changing carbon emissions from the biggest global source.

Official plans call for boosting coal production capacity by 300 million tonnes this year, according to news reports. That is equal to seven per cent of last year’s output of 4.1 billion tonnes, which itself was an increase of 5.7 per cent over 2020.

China is one of the biggest investors in wind and solar, but jittery leaders called for more coal-fired power after economic growth plunged last year and shortages caused blackouts and factory shutdowns.

Russia’s attack on Ukraine added to anxiety foreign oil and coal supplies might be disrupted.

“This mentality of ensuring energy security has become dominant, trumping carbon neutrality,” said Li Shuo, a senior global policy adviser for Greenpeace.

“We are moving into a

relatively unfavourable time period for climate action in China.”

Officials face political pressure to ensure stability as President Xi Jinping prepares to try to break with tradition and award himself a third five-year term as ruling party leader in the autumn.

Coal is important for “energy security”, officials said at an April 20 meeting that approved plans to expand production capacity, according to Caixin, a business news magazine.

Farm finance workshop in Wangaratta YOUNG farmers are invited to a Wangaratta’s farm finance workshop on Wednesday, May 11 from 6pm to 8.30pm.

Agriculture Victoria Young Farmer coordinator Sarah Wallis said it was wonderful to be able to offer the Farm Finance - Getting Prepared sessions as in-person events after having to shift to an online format for the past two years. ”This year it’s about coming together, being together and interacting with our financial specialists to ask those burning finance questions in a safe space,” Ms Wallis said.

"Our take on this is to provide the kind of experts at these workshops who can cut through the 'bank speak' and enable young farmers to be well prepared when applying for financing.”

ORM Agribusiness consultant Jane Foster said the workshops will be an opportunity to have open and transparent conversations about farm finance and get some tips on how to communicate in 'bank speak'.

"By the end of the session participants will have a new clarity on finance and how the whole system works," Ms Foster said.

Register for the workshop at agriculture.vic.gov.au.

NATIONAL SPORT

In form Freo want Lobb to stay forward FREMANTLE coach Justin Longmuir is keen to keep Rory Lobb in the forward line despite concussion ruling out ruckman Sean Darcy for Saturday’s clash with Geelong at GMHBA Stadium.

Darcy will miss the trip to the Cattery after copping an accidental boot to the head in Saturday’s 35-point win over Carlton in Perth.

Lobb helped fill the void while Darcy was off the field, and finished the match with 25 hitouts to go with his three goals, 14 disposals and three contested marks.

It took Lobb’s tally to 10 goals from six games this season.

Although Lobb is yet to kick a big bag of goals this year, his ability to make a contest has proven crucial in helping Fremantle’s small forwards feast at ground level.

Instead of shifting Lobb into the permanent ruck role against Geelong, Longmuir is set to recall Lloyd Meek, who played the first three rounds before going out of the side.

“He (Lobb) is so important

to us as a forward,” Longmuir said.

“Although he probably hasn’t hit the scoreboard the way he would like, we’ve been really impressed with the contest he gives.

“That contest to bring the ball to ground is really important, because it’s allowing us to go to work at ground level, whether it’s winning it or pressuring.

“Without that strong contest in the forward line our small forwards can’t pressure.”

Fremantle’s small for-

wards were crucial against Carlton, with Lachie Schultz (three goals), Sam Switkowski (two goals), and Michael Walters (two goals) all cashing in.

Walters entered the match with just two goals to his name from five matches this season, and he was mobbed by teammates when he kicked truly from a set shot in the second term.

He followed it up a short time later with a classy dribbled goal, with Fremantle booting six goals for the term to set up the

14.13 (97) to 9.8 (62) win.

“I’ve been saying every time I get asked, I firmly believe he’s in good form,” Longmuir said.

“He just hasn’t finished his work and put the icing on the cake.

“I am really proud of our playing group when they got around him after the set shot.

“They know what he’s going through and the intense pressure he gets put under externally.

“I just thought that was a really significant moment

for our year. I thought that showed the connection within the playing group and a real understanding of what everyone’s going through.”

Fremantle are flying in second spot with a 5-1 record, and Longmuir is encouraging his players to celebrate the wins but stay grounded at the same time.

Heath Chapman and Hayden Young could be out of the COVID-19 protocols

by Thursday, but their availability for the game against Geelong remains up in the air.

Green in LA Open hunt as world No 1 Ko cracks AUSTRALIAN Hannah Green is the closest challenger to thirdround leader Nasa Hataoka in the LPGA Tour’s Los Angeles Open after an uncharacteristic late meltdown from world No.1 Jin Young Ko. Starting the day two shots off the pace, Green carded a two-under 69 at Wilshire Country Club to get to seven-under.

She mixed birdies on the second, 13th and 14th holes with a bogey on the sixth.

Chasing a third LPGA Tour title and first since her two-win season in 2019, Green will start the final round four shots behind her finalgroup partner Hataoka.

The Japanese star took advantage of Ko’s late meltdown to go clear with a 67, getting to 11-under 202.

“I feel like I haven’t played my entire best,” said Green.

“I’m hoping tomorrow I can kind of get everything to go my way and try and put as much pressure on Nasa as possible.”

Tied for the lead with fellow half-way co-leader Hataoka after a birdie on the par-5 15th, Ko bogeyed the par-4 16th and made a quadruple-bogey 8 on the 17th after failing twice to get the ball out of the barranca a deep gully that snakes through the historic layout.

Hataoka birdied the 16th and parred the final two holes on another breezy day.

The 23-year-old has five LPGA Tour victories, winning twice last season.

Ko shot a 72, closing with a 15foot birdie putt from the fringe on the par-3 18th, to be tied for third with fellow South Koreans Inbee

OFF THE PACE: Hannah Green is second on the leaderboard going into the final round of the LA Open.

Park (68) and Haeji Kang (69).

Ko admitted she’d made an error of judgement on the 17th.

Instead of taking an unplayable lie, she climbed down into the gully and tried to hit out twice before

taking an unplayable lie.

“I played not bad. Just 17 was big mistake,” Ko said. “But this is golf. I don’t have regret.”

Ko won in Singapore early last month for her 13th LPGA Tour ti-

Rain ruins Alex de Minaur’s biggest clay day ALEX de Minaur will have to return to the Rafa Nadal Court for the biggest clay-court date in his career on Sunday after his Barcelona Open semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz was hit by yet more rain in Spain.

The Australian No.1 was locked at 2-2 with the Spanish teen sensation in what promised to be an engrossing contest when another of the downpours which have plagued the tournament all week, forced the players off on Saturday evening.

After having already endured more than a three-hour wait to get the contest under way with rain falling, organ-

isers reluctantly decided to abandon the day’s action and schedule both semi-finals and final to be played on what promises to be a hectic Sunday.

Both the match between Alcaraz-de Minaur and the other semi between Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta and Argentine Diego Schwartzman - which was also locked at 2-2 - will resume at 11am local time (7pm AEST) on Sunday before the final later in the day.

The postponement was a huge anti-climax for a sellout crowd of 8,000 who had flocked to the Pista Rafa Na-

dal at Barcelona’s Real Club de Tenis Barcelona to cheer on the new young shooting star of Spanish tennis.

Alcaraz’s victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas on Friday had been met with scenes of genuine excitement, leaving the likeable de Minaur to play public enemy number one in the main arena.

But de Minaur showed, even in the brief duel the pair enjoyed, that he’s going to throw everything at the 18-year-old who will next week become the youngest player to make the top 10 in the men’s game since Nadal himself in 2005.

Green’s fellow West Australia and world No.5 Minjee Lee signed for a 71 on moving day to remain at 4-under, good enough for a share of sixth.

The 37-year-old has marked his 200th first-class game a rare feat in itself in an era dominated by one-day fare by producing a familiar performance of skill and guile for his latest county, Somerset.

It’s two-and-a-half years since he played the last of his 67 Tests at the Oval but he was back there on Saturday, still entertaining English crowds with his excellent 6-51 off 26 probing overs to

help bowl out Surrey.

Siddle, whose victims included England’s Sam Curran and Ben Foakes, may have to produce something similar on Sunday’s final day, when Surrey are likely to be chasing a target under 250 in their second knock.

But Siddle, who’s now taken 687 first-class wickets in 200 matches at an average of 26.47, is looking more than ever like a master with the red-ball, some 17 years since he made his first-class debut for Victoria.

The man who took 221 Test scalps is still a formidable opponent for any English wan-

nabe opener as he’s shining for his fourth English county in his sixth season in England.

It’s believed he’s the first Australian quick to reach 200 game milestone since Michael Kasprowicz in 2004.

He’s not, however, the oldest Aussie bowle playing in the English game, with Glamorgan’s Michael Hogan still going strong at nearly 41.

Siddle recently attributed his longevity and improved consistency to taking up a vegan diet over the last decade.

“I look after myself off the field, which undoubtedly helps,” he said.

Bulldogs bested by Bonnie Doon A YOUTHFUL and eager Tarrawingee outfit faced off against a fluid and mobile Bonnie Doon squad at the Tarrawingee Recreation Reserve on Saturday, with the Bulldogs suffering their third loss for the year, defeated 17.9 (111) to 13.13 (91).

Despite breaking out to a seven-point win by quarter time, the Bulldogs found themselves trailing by two goals heading into the long break.

Tarrawingee coach Xa-

vier Norden said Bonnie Doon was far better around the stoppages, with a strong midfield able to deliver the ball deep.

“It started quite well, the game - the first quarter was both teams sussing each other out a little bit, then I felt in that second quarter, Bonnie Doon just probably had a

bit more quality around the football and broke the game open from there.

“From then, we were just chasing.

“It came down to the stoppages - I think around the ground they won stoppages in the second quarter 15 to four, which just showed their dominance around the field.

“If you’re winning that many stoppages, it’s hard to keep rebounding off half back.”

The Bulldogs suffered

“They’re 20-21 years old and we forget they have missed the last two years of footy, they’re still experiencing senior footy and what it takes to have an impact on games.

“We had to rely a bit more than we wanted to on that younger group of lads.”

Despite a 41-point fourth quarter from Tarrawingee, the Bombers’ leads and cleanliness through the midfield were just too good for the home side, despite solid efforts from Frazer Judd,

a few injuries before half time, including Jeremy Lawford with a snapped collarbone, and Daniel Witham with knee troubles.

Tarrawingee looked to its younger players to show some class and get the home side back in the fight.

“We actually had eight players come up that have just played a handful of senior footy matches,” Norden said.

“It was great to see all of them get in and have a crack and experience senior footy.

MATCH REVIEWS Moore’s 11 majors thumps Roos ROUND

3

BIG BAG: Callum Moore kicked 11 goals in a best-on-ground display.

PHOTOS: Melissa Beattie

FIRST GAMER: Lachie Bray debuted in the Magpies’ big win.

WEAVING: Daine Porter bursts through traffic.

A BAG of 11 goals from reigning Morris Medallist Callum Moore has steered Wangaratta to yet another 100-plus-point victory.

The ‘Pies were simply too classy for Corowa-Rutherglen in Saturday evening’s twilight clash at Norm Minns Oval that showcased the home side’s forward fire power as they booted 29 majors in a 29.15 (189) to 8.9 (57) thumping.

However, the scary part of the victory was that Wangaratta was missing five of its top liners.

Ben Reid, Michael Newton, Matt Kelly and Mark Anderson were all out with soreness or illness, while Lia McVeigh was serving his one week suspension.

“A few of us were a bit sore from last week and we didn’t think it was worth risking it,” coach Reid said.

“Especially a few of us being older blokes, there’s no point risking further damage especially this early in the season.

“It’s positive signs though that we have blokes in the twos who are ready to go and come in and do their job.

“We’re kidding ourselves if we think we’re going to go through the year with the same 22, it’s a one man out next man in sort of mentality for us.”

Although the Magpies

BY WILLSON MACK wmack@ nemedia.com.au

registered 44 scoring shots, Reid believes their forward 50 entries can still improve.

“We were hitting the lead up a lot better inside 50 and I thought the boys were putting the ball in the right spots, but there’s definitely still improvement there,” he said.

“At times we were too focused on the one bloke inside 50 and sometimes it was a three on one so we need to get better at picking the right player.

“We’ve been kicking a fair few goals but I still think we can probably kick a few more.”

With the absence of the twin towers in Reid and Newton in Wangaratta’s forward 50, Moore stood tall.

Joe Richards and Jackson Clarke also continued their ripping start to the season racking up 25-plus disposals through the middle of the ground. “’Cal’ was pretty much inside 50 alone,” Reid said.

“He had a good match up so we isolated him and he got on the end of a few.

“I thought Joe Richards and Jackson Clarke were

both good too, they’re our vice-captains and they were really good with their leadership too.

“Hunter Gottschling went through the middle and played well and Paddy Warner played his best game for the year.”

The speedy Warner kicked three majors off a forward flank.

“Paddy’s been playing off half-forward and also on the wing but we’ve said to him that we just want his pressure to be really good,” Reid said.

“He’s starting to make pressure a trait of his game, the last two weeks for him have been really good.

“Eventually we want to develop him into a midfielder because he’s got that speed and is also really clean with the ball.”

Although the Magpies were clear winners, Reid praised the Roos’ improvement.

“Their pressure was really good, I just think we were able to buffer it,” he said.

“They weren’t dropping numbers behind the ball either, they were trying to score, which is a credit to them.

“I think everyone they’ve played can see they’re improving and we’re no different, we think they’ll continue to develop.”

Hawks momentum keeps rolling with win over Lavington

football results

wmack@ nemedia.com.au

WANGARATTA Rovers are continuing to build after a 58-point drubbing of Lavington on Saturday night.

After a disappointing first two rounds to kick their season off, the Hawks are starting to find their mojo with back-to-back victories against Wodonga Raiders and now the Panthers.

Five majors from Alex Marklew and another beston-ground display from Sam Murray saw Wangaratta Rovers pounce on a 16.8 (104) to 6.10 (46) win.

Hawks new recruit from the Northern Territory Jake McQueen also starred with a bag of five, in his best game for the year.

McQueen spoke to O&M Live after the game and praised his side’s effort.

“It was a good win by the boys,” McQueen said.

“We did really well and I’m pretty happy with my performance.”

The Hawks got off to a bumper start going into the first change leaders, 4.1 (25) to 1.4 (10).

McQueen came to the side off a limited pre-season, but

“I think now that I’ve played a couple of games with all the boys we’re starting to gel,” he said.

“Now that we’re starting to gel it’s boosted my confidence

quite a bit so hopefully we can keep going. “’Crezza’ (coach Darryn Cresswell) gave us a good speech before the game and we started really well so we’re happy with that.”

Young tall Jace McQuade impressed as he continues to develop into a senior footballer, while Jack Gerrish and Tristan Lenaz were also multiple goal kickers with two each.

Meanwhile, Cresswell will miss a number of matches to watch his sons play football interstate.

“I’ll probably miss four or five, I wouldn’t have thought any more than that,” he revealed after the match.

“Jake’s playing at South Adelaide and Josh is playing APS (Associated Public Schools of Victoria) for Wesley College.

“I want to go watch my boys play, the club’s been very understanding and the players are aware of that and what games they’re going to be, we’ll sort that out.

“The APS starts next week, but I won’t miss the ‘Yarra’ game.”

Former Richmond and Port Adelaide player Chris Naish who hails from Wangaratta will take care of the Hawks in Cresswell’s absence.

IN a rare occurrence in O&K football, Greta and Goorambat fought to a standstill at the Greta Recreation Reserve, splitting the points with a 6.9 (45) to 6.9 (45) drawn final scoreline.

In what was a hard fought and contested match, Greta were on the back foot early before rallying, entering half time only down by a goal.

Greta assistant coach Josh Bell said the entire match was

ALL STOCKS OF CHAIRS

BY NATHAN DE VRIES ndevries@ nemedia.com.au

a gritty slog against an evenly matched opponent.

“It was pretty scrappy, to be honest – that‘s what it felt like playing, I don‘t know if it was much to watch,” he said.

“A lot of slingshot footy both ways, a lot played between the

arcs, not being able to get it in or convert when we did.

“They missed a couple of probably easy ones in the first half, we started a bit slow, and then we came home with the wind a little bit and couldn‘t convert either.

“It‘s probably a fair result, to be honest – it was a pretty scrappy game between two very similar teams fighting for similar spots on the ladder towards

the end of the season.”

After resetting from a troublesome first quarter of play, the Blues kept the margin within a manageable seven points through the third quarter, with a lot of ground ball contests across the whole field.

“We went away from what we were doing the previous two weeks, when we had good wins – I think we might‘ve even been riding the wave a

little bit from a big win and a big final quarter against Moyhu the week previous, so we were a bit flashy and went away from the game plan a bit,” Bell said.

“We weren‘t playing great and managed to stay within a goal at half time, so we basically reset and got back on track and played our footy.

“There were probably a few in the last quarter that we should‘ve converted

which we missed.

“We really held the footy in our half for the last five minutes but their defence was strong enough to keep getting ball up after ball up and we couldn‘t manage to get one free and slide one in.”

Greta‘s Paul Fruzynski was among the best for the blues in his 200th club appearance, along with Jarrod and Aaron Morham, and ruckman Mark Wettern.
