A crowd of 1500 followers packed a Hallam church to greet the spiritual leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church on 8 September.

At the service at St Mina and St Marina’s Church, Pope Tawadros II - one of just two sitting popes in the world - received the keys to the City of Casey from Mayor Sam Aziz.

Cr Aziz, a member of the Coptic community, said it was believed to be the first key to any city in the world bestowed on the Pope.

It recognised the Pope’s “outstanding efforts in promoting love and peace between all people, and his wisdom in leading the Coptic Orthodox Church to spiritual revival and triumph”, he said.

“It was an amazingly beautiful service and fitting that His Holiness received the keys to the City of Casey.

“It really demonstrates that Casey is very capable of operating on the international stage.”

There were mass cheering and clapping from the “delighted” flock, Father Abanoub Attalla later said.

His Holiness gave “peace” to parishioners, some who had lost their children and other family members to targeted violence in Egypt.

“It was a wonderful blessing. People were full of joy seeing him.”

Fr Attalla said the message from the ‘Pope of Hope’ was for parishioners not to worry about Egypt and the safety of their mother church in Egypt.

“Live the life of Christ, and forgive those who kill us.”

The Pope has been feted by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Premier Daniel Andrews and Governor Linda Dessau during his tour of Australia.

National Disability Insurance Scheme The City of Casey is seeking feedback from residents who receive disability services from Council ahead of the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

The NDIS is a key part of the Federal Government’s reform to the provision of disability services throughout Australia.

Council is committed to ensuring that all affected residents have the information that they need and are given ample opportunity to provide feedback.

Adoring fan has spent life in love with Tigers

By Casey Neill Tigers fans are earning their stripes in a hotlycontested AFL finals series.

Among the local diehard Richmond supporters are Doveton’s Kelly Delaney and her son Lachlan, 12.

Kelly started following the Tigers when she was four years old thanks to her dad’s influence.

“He’s probably as bad a supporter as me,” she said.

“My dad’s been going for 20 years, the same seat every year.

“In the last five years my son and I became members. We sit a couple of rows back from dad.”

Lachlan missed Richmond’s qualifying final win over Geelong at the MCG on Friday 8 October after falling ill with the flu.

But he’s now recovered and the family will be in the stands cheering on the yellow and black in their preliminary final on Saturday 23 September as they vie for a place in the Saturday 30 September Grand Final and a shot at this year’s AFL Premiership.

“I just love them,” Kelly said.

“There’s a couple of players on there that we really adore.”

Everyone’s favourite bad boy Dustin Martin is among them alongside captain Trent Cotchin and defenders Nick Vlastuin and ‘Rancey’ - Alex Rance.

“We love going to the footy, we go all the time,” she said.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to afford that much for a ticket for the granny.”

But Kelly said she’ll be watching it with her family if the Tigers make it, “going crazy”.

Kelly and Lachlan prepare for the preliminary final. 172820

No word yet on civic centre plans Casey Council is yet to announce future plans for its soon to be demolished civic centre and library in Narre Warren.

The council and library are set to relocate to the $125 million Bunjil Place in October, with the vacated buildings demolished next year.

Mayor Sam Aziz said the circa-1970s buildings were in “poor condition”.

“Both the civic centre and library buildings have outlived their usefulness,” he said.

“It’s simply not practical or economically viable to invest a significant amount of ratepayers’ money to bring them up to a standard suitable for any tenant.”

Cr Aziz said no decision had been made on the future of the demolition site. In the short term, part of the area will be a 75-space car park and a linking park between Bunjil Place and the Westfield shopping centre.

“Our preference for the site (is) to remain in council hands.

“To recognise the potential of the existing council office and library site, council is working towards a plan to build off the success of Bunjil Place and provide maximum value to council and the community.”

Cr Aziz said the council was planning for the Narre Warren and Fountain Gate precinct to be the “premier CBD of the South-East”.

“With a catchment of 355,000 people, the area is a regional shopping, entertainment, employment and community destination with Bunjil Place and Casey ARC at its heart.

Demolition works will start in early 2018.

Driver killed as car careers across median strip A man died following a three-vehicle crash in Hallam.

Emergency services attended the Princes Highway scene just before 12.50pm on Sunday 10 September.

Police believe a car was travelling west when it crossed the centre median strip and collided with two vehicles travelling east.

The driver and sole occupant of the westbound vehicle, believed to be a man in his thirties, died at the scene despite efforts from paramedics to revive him.

Two women aged in their twenties who were travelling east in a Holden sedan sustained minor injuries and were transported to Royal Melbourne and Box Hill hospitals.

A man who was in the same car was not injured.

A woman travelling east in a Lexus was also uninjured.

Princes Highway was closed in both directions between the South Gippsland Freeway and Belgrave-Hallam Road.

Police urged anyone who witnessed the collision to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

The air ambulance takes off with the patient on board. 172980 Picture: ROB CAREW

It’s none of our business but…

A great slide is just some of the fun.

Mossgiel Park Primary School students picked up their books and capes to pay tribute to a much-loved character.

Teacher Amanda Nelson said her class dressed up and posed in the playground to enter a television contest about Captain Underpants, and shared the image with the Journal.

“Who says reading is dead!?” she said.

an aspirational vision. “We’re hopeful that the community will see the benefit of adding more trees into the street, adding more life in terms of the potential for on-street dining,” he said.

“It might not meet the attributes of the Champs-Elysees but it might become something of significance for the region.”

Greater Dandenong Council’s planning department held a birthday celebration with a difference.

City planning, design and amenity director Jody Bosman told the Monday 11 September meeting that the council passed the C182 Planning Scheme Amendment more than a year ago.

“We had a first birthday party for it,” he said.

He’s still waiting for the State Government Planning Minister to officially endorse the policy.

Incoming Victorian Supreme Court Chief Justice Anne Ferguson is a Killester College alumni.

She graduated the Keysborough school in the class of 1977.

The Journal is hoping to catch up with her for a chat once she starts the new role.

“How close can we get to the Champs-Elysees?”

Greater Dandenong councillor Sean O’Reilly asked the Monday 11 September council meeting whether the description ‘Springvale Boulevard Project’ on an item discussed at a briefing session was accurate.

Business group manager Paul Kearsley said the word boulevard gave everyone involved in the Springvale Road makeover

Greater Dandenong councillor Matthew Kirwan represented the municipality at a landmark poker machine court case.

He said the Shonica Guy versus Crown Casino and Aristocrat trial started on Tuesday 12 September and would decide whether modern poker machines are deceptive and deliberately addictive.

Shonica Guy is a former problem gambler and is not seeking damages.

Cr Kirwan said Greater Dandenong had the worst losses per capita in the state, one of the highest concentrations of poker machines in the state and one of the worst overall losses.

Kids can't wait to enjoy the new playground.

New magic for children’s play Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre has unveiled its highly anticipated new custom built children’s playground.

The new playground, which was revealed to the public on Saturday 16 September, has replaced the centre’s Magic Garden Playground, and caters for children of all age groups.

The playground’s reveal was complete with a Morning Tea Garden Party along with free face painting, arts and craft, entertainment and giveaways.

As Centre Manager Belinda Donnelly and Marketing Manager Jodie Lee Murphy explained, the new playground, which was constructed by Play On, was designed to be highly interactive as well as highlighting the centre’s distinguishable garden theme.

“The old playground wasn’t as interactive and we have the new playground in the food court for the little kids, so we wanted something to suit a wider age group and that’s what we’ve been able to achieve here,” Ms Donnelly said.

“The old playground only catered for young

children, where this one will cater for both age groups from toddlers to older children up to 12 years old.

“For the older children we’ve incorporated a climbing hut with rope ladders as well as a slide and for the younger children we have some soft play elements in line with our centre’s garden theme which includes a log tunnel, a dragon fly and a caterpillar.”

The new playground comes as the latest addition to Waverley Garden’s ambience upgrades which commenced in 2016.

With another smaller custom built playground installed last year and the centre’s parents’ rooms having recently completed their makeovers, Ms Murphy said the refurbishments will continue to keep families in the community at the forefront of Waverley Garden’s purpose.

“I think that having two custom built playgrounds is a major point of difference at Waverley Gardens and gives our community a meeting place for their families and friends to enjoy,” she said.

Looking Back 100 years ago 20 September 1917 An appeal The Dandenong branch of the Victorian division of the Red Cross will be glad to receive donations of old linen pieces of blankets and curtains of any description to continue the work of preparing them for the hospitals.

The object of this appeal is such a worthy one it is hoped for a good response.

Somebody is sure to form a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Motor Cars.

Punishment melted out to vehicles in Lonsdale and Thomas streets each evening are excruciating, gears are crunched, tyres squeal, transmissions are terrorised as mud

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society versions of cowboys lash and twist and kick all vital parts of their cars while they yell and scream to and at one another over a medley of exhaust noises and clouds of exhaust smoke.

20 years ago 15 September 1997 The Hills are alive - name change fails An objection to a proposed suburb name change in Casey has backfired.

The Office of the Place Names Committee, commissioned by the State Government to define suburbs throughout the State, suggested Lysterfield be renamed Endeavour Hills. The council’s suggested name of Lysterfield South was challenged by a resident.

Objector Mr Trevor Ratlciffe wanted Lysterfield Hills.

“I felt the name Lysterfield South was inaccurate because Lysterfield lies in the

northern aspect of the city so I sent in my suggestion of Lysterfield Hills.

“I thought this was an appropriate name because the suburb abuts Endeavour Hills,” Mr Ratcliffe said.

The objection and council’s recommendation was submitted to the committee which decided on Endeavour Hills.

“I was quite surprised the committee came up with that name because I don’t think it reflected the views of myself or council,” Mr Ratcliffe said.

“I think the most important thing is to keep the name Lysterfield in the title because it is of some historical significance to the suburb and credits its founder.”

5 years ago 17 September 2012 New plant to treat contaminated soil A second contaminated soil treatment plant

will be built in the Dandenong area. Renax Group chief executive Peter Mirkou announced works were set to start on the four hectare Ordish Road plant, which will treat up to 70,000 tonnes of soil a year by 2014.

He said it would reduce the amount of contaminated soil going to landfill by 20 per cent.

Most of the treated soil will be reused for items such as compost and concrete.

A permit for the plant was rejected by Greater Dandenong Council but approved on appeal by Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

It was also approved by the Environmental Protection Authority.

Residents against Toxic Waste in the South East spokeswoman Thelma Wakelam raised doubts about whether there would be a market for the plant as well as the plants at Lyndhurst and Altona.

Butterbing’s got the cookie bling Butterbing started as an honesty stall on a Fitzroy North front porch.

Simone Clark now sells her Dandenong South-baked sandwich cookies to cafes across the country.

“It started in my home kitchen in 2013,” she said.

She’d place baked goods in a fridge on her front porch and neighbours would grab them and leave cash behind.

“I would also bake and deliver to nearby cafes either by foot or by bike,” Simone said.

“From there our customer base grew.”

She moved into a commercial kitchen in Eumemmerring through a sublease she found on Gumtree, and recently into a Dandenong South factory space.

“We’re pretty much dotted all over cafes around Australia now,” she said.

Butterbing exclusively makes brownie cookie sandwiches filled with butter cream and ganache.

EAT LOCAL, DINE GLOBAL Simone was the first to market with the product so had to pioneer the packaging and more.

“We have over 50 recipes of butter cream on rotation,” Simone said.

“It’s always the same chocolate cookie. We just change the centre.

“Initially when the bakery started I had a whole range of products and my focus was very different.

“About six months into that I started making these cookie sandwiches. They just were an instant hit.

Simone Clark with her Butterbing creations. 172055 “People were drawn to them. They took over.”

She rebranded as a cookie company instead of a general baking company.

“Typically cookies are quite dry. Ours are really quite the opposite of that.

“They’re, basically, a cake in cookie form.

“They’re really moreish.

“I don’t have a traditional sweet palate. They are pretty sweet but they’re not excessively sweet.

“We use salt to tone it down.”

Simone has found a niche in the speciality coffee scene and wants to expand her reach further interstate.

“But we want to make sure that we stay a classic product,” she said.

“We’re not quite interested in being a food trend.”

Every Butterbing cookie is handmade, from the batter through to the flavours in the buttercream.

“It’s very much a labour of love,” Simone said.

“We make about eight different flavours a week.”

They’re born from discussions around the lunch table, food trends and partnerships with other companies.

“It’s quite hard for people to move away from caramel and chocolate,” she said.

MEDICALLY SPEAKING

Zooming right in on skin cancer Dr Michael Safaie is the newest member of the team at Sun Patrol Officer and says that a skin cancer check once a year is vital.

He qualified as a doctor in 2005 and has been specialising in skin cancer for the past six years.

“I have a surgical background, but became very interested in dermatology and the skin due to the fact that Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world,” Dr Safaie said.

“Melanoma kills more young Australians aged 15 to 29 than any other cancer.”

He said Australia was leading the way in developing knowledge and new treatments and said he was keen to join a practice like Sun Patrol, which is at the cutting edge of the fight against the deadly disease.

“I am very privileged and blessed to be part of this group and help people get an early diagnosis,” he said.

“If skin cancer is diagnosed in the early stage the treatment is simple and it can be cured.

“It is very important that patients see a professional with proper knowledge in this area for early diagnosis.”

A check involves the doctor looking at the entire skin surface through a dermatoscope, which magnifies the skin cells under a special light. The doctor will also take photos of the skin surface.

An appointment lasts about 20 minutes.

“You don’t want to leave your health to fate or

luck. You want to make sure you have a skin check once a year to protect yourself against something which is very unpleasant but very prevalent in Australia.

“You get your car serviced every year. You have your body your whole life so you need to maintain it.

“If you don’t do the maintenance and regular checks you are going to break down. Better maintenance means better health and longevity.”

Sun Patrol is at Arena Shopping Centre, Officer.

To make an appointment phone 1300 786 728.

No referral necessary.

Women’s Health Week aims to put the health of the female population back into focus, given women all too often cite lack of time as a reason they can’t make their wellbeing a priority.

Realising there was a need to put women first in this area, not-for-profit organisation Jean Hailes for Women’s Health decided to run a campaign to highlight the importance of taking a week each year to help women start making the positive changes in their lives that can last a lifetime.

Now a permanent fixture in the Australian calendar, Women’s Health Week is held in the first week of September and attracts the support of organisations, high profile ambassadors, businesses, and community, sporting and media groups across the country.

St John of God Berwick Hospital is a proud supporter of women’s health and offers services that assist women in achieving an optimal level of wellbeing.

HOME FOCUS

GREAT VALUE, LOCATION AND SOIL STEWART BLEW and his wife have farmed this great property for more than 50 years and it has been in the family for 80 years.

The selling agent says that properties of this quality don’t often come on the market but the couple have decided to retire and sell.

Comprising 72 acres of quality peat soils and supported with a 42-megalitre irrigation licence together with a stock and domestic bore, the farm lends itself to almost any agribusiness - vegetable growing, cattle fattening, horses etc.

Improvements include a comfortable two-bedroom home and large machinery and hay sheds with concrete floors.

Irrigation is supplied over the property via 150mm pipes that are driven by a large diesel pump.

The property is well set up for livestock with 11 paddocks with excellent fencing and cattle yards.

Located just six kilometres from Garfield township with easy access to the Princes Freeway, it is also close to the new Racecourse at Tynong.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN Animals bring magic to kids’ festival A two-week celebration for the young and young at heart is kicking off in Greater Dandenong.

This year’s Greater Dandenong Children’s Festival has an animal kingdom theme and features free and low-cost events throughout the school holidays from 23 September to 8 October.

The event is now in its sixth year and will include daily movie screenings in Harmony Square in Dandenong, craft workshops, storytelling and puppet making.

The headline event, Little Day Out - For Big Imaginations, will be held at Ross Reserve on Sunday 1 October from 11am to 4pm.

Visitors will be able to ride a camel, visit an animal farm and try their hand at circus play.

Greater Dandenong Mayor Jim Memeti said the festival appealed to children of all ages and encouraged them to explore their creative side.

He said more than 17,000 people were expected to attend the festival during the two weeks.

“This festival has quickly become a regular feature on people’s school holiday calendar and

Meet the green fighting machines.

offers affordable, fun and imaginative ways to keep the children busy,” he said.

This year’s festival will also feature the inaugural Shorter Cuts Film Festival.

Local school students created some of the films, which will screen in Harmony Square at noon on Wednesday 27 September.

During this year’s festival the Dandenong Civic Centre will also feature a large inflatable with five festival mascots.

Mona Beeza the bee is the creative one in the group and loves drawing, while Birdtoven the bird is an actor who loves to entertain.

Bob the Reader is quite an intellectual pooch and enjoys learning about new people, places and things.

Healthy Shelby is the healthiest koala going around and Puss ‘n’ Hoops is a cat with lots of energy.

Visit www.greaterdandenong.com/childrensfestival for a full list of Greater Dandenong Children’s Festival events.

Gardens of great fun There’s no need to go any further than Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre these school holidays.

From 25 to 28 September, kids are invited to head down to the centre for a Native Animal Show running three times a day at 11am, noon and 1pm.

The show is followed by the chance for children to interact with the animals and have the possibility to snap some holiday memories.

On 26 and 27 September, Waverley Gardens will be hosting a charity event for Very Special Kids (VSK), the Melbourne based children’s charity that helps more than 900 families across Victoria with children who have a life-threatening condition.

VSK provides ongoing support from diagnosis all the way through to recovery or bereavement.

Throughout the two days, children are invited to take part in ‘craft and create’ with all donations being given to the Very Special Kids charity.

In the week running from 2 to 6 October, the fun continues with kids invited to come along and meet Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as they demonstrate their signature moves in a live stage show.

The shows will take place at 11am and 1pm daily with a meet and greet session at noon where audience members can meet their favourite mean, green fighting machine.

TV on track for train tale

By Casey Neill

Manufacturing is changing gear

By Casey Neill

A Dandenong worker is among the stars of a new television series on railways.

Chris Barnett was in charge of testing the VLocity trains built at Bombardier Transportation’s Dandenong manufacturing facility.

He will appear in episode nine of Railroad Australia on the Discovery Channel on Thursday 21 September.

“As part of the commissioning process at the end of the build, V/Line sends a driver out to put it through its paces,” he told the Journal.

“There’s a section of track that we use for testing out past Pakenham, where there’s straight and level track.

“We know it will give reliable data.”

Mr Barnett said testing took place in off-peak times, between Tynong and Nar Nar Goon.

“Primarily we’re looking to make sure it will run as designed without any faults appearing,” he said.

There’s also a high-speed test to ensure the brakes are working.

He brings the train to a stop from 160 kilometres an hour.

“The train would need to pull up in about 800 metres,” he said.

“Very exact equip measures the stopping distances.

“They’re the most modern train so they’re quite, they’re comfortable, they’re smooth.

“They’ve got all the creature comforts of a modern vehicle.”

Mr Barnett’s dad worked on the Victorian railways in the 1960s.

“Growing up he gave myself and my brother a bit of an interest in the railways, I guess,” he said.

“I met a friend, socially, who was a trainee electric train driver.

“He pointed me in the right direction for ap-

Chris Barnett with the Bombardier-built VLocity. proaching the railways to see if there were any jobs going.” Mr Barnett became a trainee in 2000.

He enjoys the variety of the job.

“You’re not sitting behind a desk doing a mundane job day-in, day-out,” he said.

He also likes the responsibility.

“We’ve got time constraint pressures,” he said.

“Every kid growing up wants to be train driver and I never grew out of it.”

He hopes Railroad Australia gives passengers an insight to the system.

“I hope they feel safe travelling on our network because they can see how much effort goes on behind the scenes,” he said.

Blueprint is a statement for sector’s future strategy

By Casey Neill There’s a new plan for the future of Victoria’s manufacturing sector.

The State Government unveiled the Advancing Victorian Manufacturing - A Blueprint for the Future strategy in Dandenong on Wednesday 13 September.

“Dandenong is a nation-leading manufacturing hub supporting thousands of local jobs,” Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams said.

“We have to plan for the future of this industry, and that’s exactly what this statement is doing.”

Industry and Employment Minister Wade Noonan said $12 million in new funding and initiatives would back the blueprint.

It sets out four key actions: creating manufacturing jobs of the future; helping small to medium businesses grow, innovate and capture new market opportunities; strengthening the local supply chain; and finding export opportunities.

“Victoria is the home of manufacturing,” Mr Noonan said.

“This strategy is all about creating jobs of the future, growing businesses and taking Victorian innovation to the world.”

Last year, manufacturing experienced the fastest employment growth of any industry in Victoria with about 40,000 new jobs created.

The government’s Advanced Manufacturing Advisory Council, led by Ross Pilling, developed the strategy with input from businesses, industry associations, unions and research organisations.

“Manufacturing is one of Victoria’s great strengths,” Mr Pilling said.

“We have worked closely with industry to develop this strategy and ensure the sector is primed for future growth.”

The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry applauded the strategy.

Melbourne Chamber of Commerce executive director Dianne Smith said advanced manufacturing touched all Victorians “from the food we eat to the trains and trams we travel on”.

“Doing all we can to make this sector as globally competitive as possible is vital if Victoria is to continue to be the home of cutting-edge innovation and new product design,” she said.

Visit economicdevelopment.vic.gov.au/advancing-manufacturing to see the blueprint.

A manufacturing forum in Dandenong celebrated successful transitions from automotive to new sectors and looked to a bright future.

The Drum Theatre hosted the free, day-long Victoria’s Transforming Manufacturing Industry Forum: Opportunities and Challenges on Tuesday 12 September Dandenong MP Gabrielle Williams told the forum’s opening session that in recent times, the focus in relation to manufacturing had been on challenges, especially with the closure of passenger vehicle manufacturing in Australia.

“But we need to be careful that we aren’t confusing or conflating the story of auto manufacturing with the story of manufacturing more generally,” she said.

“Because, especially here in the South-East, our manufacturing sector has been the author of many, many good stories.

“We produce world-class trains and trams, we are home to the most well-known and loved caravan manufacturer in the country.

“We also have businesses doing exciting work in the defence space, as well as world leading food manufacturers.”

Ms Williams said the region was “the beating heart of manufacturing in Victoria”.

“I hope the day leads to the valuable sharing of opportunities, of partnerships and ideas so that we can continue with the next chapter of positive stories, the next phase of world leading innovation and design, and jobs - lots of jobs!”

Business network SEBN and South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) hosted the afternoon session titled The Future is Now ... and Always Has Been.

SEMMA executive officer Adrian Boden explained that innovation and creativity had been an ever-constant factor in human development.

“The idea that we must innovate misses the fact that we have been doing just that for millennium,” he said.

“Can we do better? Absolutely. Are we as good as the best? Probably not.

“To compete, we need to measure ourselves against the best globally and go from there.

“And remember - today is yesterday’s future.”

Nitto Denko Australia managing director Michael Finn spoke about the business’ transition as a subsidiary of an international company.

The company’s headquarters had long identified its Australian arm as an auto industry company so its purpose was in doubt following the auto industry exit announcement.

Mr Finn and his team looked for an opportunity in Australia that would fit within the global organisation and identified agriculture, specifically livestock monitoring.

Simultaneously, HQ was working on smart device technology without an intended application.

SPORT Eagles revamp to look forward

By Nick Creely

The DDCA is set for a revamp in 2018/19.

Picture: GARY SISSONS

Restructure gets set to see eight-team grades

By Nick Creely After a stringent process by the Dandenong District Cricket Association (DDCA), a restructuring of the Turf, Synthetic and Junior Competitions has been mooted for the 2018/19 season.

Essentially, the association hopes to adopt eight-teams per grade model similar to that of neighbouring competition such as West Gippsland Cricket Association (WGCA) and the newly restructured Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association (MPCA) which, until last year, was a 12-side competition.

So what does this mean for clubs?

- In a normal 21-week season, each team would play the other seven sides in their grade twice, once in a two-day game and once in a oneday match.

- The reduction in teams per grade is considered a fairer and more balanced model and affords teams a greater opportunity to play in finals.

- To achieve the model, the bottom four sides at the conclusion of the 2017/2018 season will be removed from Turf 1 and placed with the top four teams in Turf 2 to form the Turf 2 grade. The bottom eight sides in Turf 2 would move into Turf 3 and so on until all turf grades had eight teams.

- If a shortfall in teams existed in the bottom turf grade, then consideration will be given to creating a composite turf grade by including the required number of synthetic sides.

- The Match Committee will have discretion to adjust teams throughout the grades as is seen necessary (e.g. new sides being entered).

- The advent of eight teams per grade will also flow through to the senior synthetic and junior grades. The only difference will be that clubs will

nominate their preferred grades as usual and the Match Committee will adjust as necessary, based on history.

- As the senior fixtures would contain more one-day games, the future of the designated Oneday Competition will also be reviewed.

One of many issues to surface and likely to be a major discussion - particularly from clubs - is the fact that for clubs competing in Turf 2-7 this season, they will essentially be playing without the possibility of promotion.

Another issue that has been raised is how it impacts on the short-term strategies of clubs, the development of younger players and the financial incentive of signing big name players to clubs not in the top-grade.

The first opportunity to discuss the proposed changes will be on 27 September, with the DDCA holding a coaches and captains meeting.

With the beginning of the cricket season just three weeks away, Endeavour Hills is wasting no time in preparing for a defining 2017/18 campaign. After a rather forgettable 2016/17 season, the Eagles under President Jay Stent have been plugging away in a hectic off-season down at Sydney Pargeter Reserve.

The club has appointed champion player Richard Saniga as its new head coach in a revamped coaching panel that also includes veterans Brad Baptist and Vaughan Baxter, as well as developing stars Wes Dunkley and Alistair Reed. Stent said the club is delighted with the appointment of Saniga as head coach and believes the coaching panel that has been put in place will support the club’s overall direction.

“We are re-defining our culture around the concepts of inclusion, shared responsibility, support for each other and fun,” he explained.

“We believe Richie is the perfect person to lead this development. He is a skilled and highly competitive cricketer who is respected by all for his achievements.

The club has also announced the signings of Nilo Perera, Kumbu Jayasundera and Harry Johnson.

“Nilo and Kumbu have re-signed after successful seasons last year when Nilo was Club Champion and Kumbu leading wicket taker,” Stent said.

“Harry is a young batsmen/ wicketkeeper who will join us from the UK. Despite being injured for part of the recent English season, Harry has shown some impressive form for Warwickshire 2nd XI and U/19 team and is looking forward to joining us for the season.”

The club is also expecting to be in a position to announce more new signings in the coming days and weeks.

With the club well and truly in the midst of pre-season training, Stent said he is excited by the eagerness around the place.

“Richie has already had a positive effect.

His enthusiasm is infectious and his emphasis on support and enjoyment is exactly what we want the club to build,” he said.

“I am really impressed by the number of young players who are attending.

“They are our major focus - we want to provide an environment where they can improve and be challenged, and where they enjoy playing their cricket.”

The club is also hoping that their new facilities are ready after the Christmas break.

“We have been fortunate to have been given funding for an electronic scoreboard which should be installed shortly after the new year,” Stent said.

“We are also hoping that our re-located second turf wicket will be ready in the second half of the year.”

An Eagles comeback for the ages

By Nick Creely JOURNAL FOOTBALL REVIEW SOUTHERN - DIVISION 3 GRAND FINAL Only a champion team can lift itself off the canvas when the game looks buried and find the will to win.

That’s exactly what the Doveton Eagles did on Saturday in what was a gripping grand final clash with Endeavour Hills at Jack Barker Oval in Cheltenham.

In a game of spits and spurts of momentum for each side, the Eagles found the winner late with a clutch set-shot from the 50-metre arc by Russell Robertson, 13.6(84) to 13.10(88).

It took just 30 seconds for the scoring to begin on Saturday, with Nick Gay running into an open goal to give the Falcons the dream start.

The Falcons - in their first senior grand final ever - settled into the contest quicker, and with the likes of Daniel Batson and Byron Hoe playing big roles in the first, managed to hold a slender nine-point quarter time lead.

A rev up by Eagles coach Simon Caldwell provided the catalyst for a quick response, with the underdogs producing a sensational second quarter, kicking six of the next seven goals to all of a sudden race out to a 22-point half time lead.

Eventual best-afield Michael Callinan was causing plenty of headaches through the midfield, often bursting out of a stoppage unopposed to give forwards Russell Robertson and Adam Read silver service.

A move to the midfield by Batson - and a tougher, more competitive showing in the middle - saw the Falcons immediately regain the momentum after the major break.

After three brain fades that resulted in 50 metre penalties, the Falcons made the Eagles pay for ill-discipline, with goals to Joel Marie, Chris Webber and the brilliant Batson pegging the margin back to five-points.

Only moments after Batson sunk his set-shot, Marie - who was helping turn the game on its

Saturday’s Division 3 grand final between Endeavour Hills and Doveton Eagles saw two very tough midfields battle it out. 173008 head - found space to kick a goal to put the Falcons in front.

That momentum continued through to the early stages of the final term, with Nathan Strom and Hoe kicking goals to bring the margin all the way out to a game high 28-point lead.

A response was needed from the Eagles - and a response they got.

All of a sudden - with nothing left to lose - the

Eagles started pulling the trigger, with skipper Corrie Wilson in particular starting to lift in the middle and hit his targets.

An outstanding bit of play by Jarrod O’Neill saw the margin cut back to a gettable 14-points only nine-minutes into play, before Robertson eventually stole victory with only two minutes left with a clutch shot that sent the crowd into raptures.

Picture: NICK CREELY

Even though Robertson was well held for the most part by Falcons defender Ben Moriaty in an absorbing one-on-one battle, the ex-AFL man’s class shone through.

Meanwhile, in Division 2 action, Keysborough was knocked out of the premiership race after a surprising 20-point preliminary final loss to Murrumbeena on Saturday at Meade Reserve, 3.11(29) to 5.19(49).

Robertson rams home a precious premiership sealer

By Nick Creely Make no mistake about it, the Doveton Eagles entered the 2017 Division 3 finals series as the underdogs.

And when they faced a hefty 28-point deficit on Saturday, early in the last quarter against a redhot Endeavour Hills, the premiership looked like it was making its way down to Barry Simon Reserve for the very first time.

But as Doveton Eagles coach Simon Caldwell explained, the belief that saw them win four out of four finals kicked in, with a desperate scramble resulting in a match-winning goal by the sharpshooting former Melbourne forward Russell Robertson.

“I was nervous - I genuinely thought we were done, and being 28-points down, I thought it was all over,” Caldwell said post-match about the last quarter revival.

“I’m just shell-shocked we won it, unbelievable but very nerve-racking - I’m just so proud of the boys’ efforts to keep going with it.

“We had the finals experience, a few blokes are still here from the 2013 flag, and we have a few older heads playing at a higher level - we still had the belief the whole way through that if we get on a roll, there’s no reason we can’t take it out.”

Rather than panic when faced with a deficit after a dominant third quarter by the Falcons, Caldwell kept things simple.

“At three quarter time, we sort of just put what I thought was our best midfield in there, and we put some fresh blokes in there to give them a run, and we just stuck fat,” he said.

“Our midfield is our strength, we have some bigger bodies in there, and sometimes it can hurt us on the outside and we know that.

“The coaches were throwing things around, saying let’s do this and that, but we ended up leaving it and got on a roll.”

Caldwell was full of praise for his players, in particular Robertson, who shook off a tough day to kick the goal that got them in front with just minutes to play.

“Robbo’s had a few down games this year - in

one match he kicked 6.13, but when he got the opportunity he just took it - that’s why he played at the highest level,” Caldwell explained.

“When the game needed to be won, he just slotted it from 50 out, and it got us over the line I guess. I’m super proud - it was nothing us coaches did, it was all on the boys on the field, they fought it out and kept rolling.“ With the Eagles finishing in fourth spot at the end of the home-and-away season - only one game from sixth and missing out all together they had to do it the hard way.

After defeating Black Rock in an elimination final, the Eagles defeated Ashwood in a semi final, before overcoming Hallam in a preliminary final performance.

“The biggest thing for me is that no one expected us to win - internally, we spoke about being the best team for the four weeks because we hadn’t been all year - and we did that,” Caldwell said.

Southern Division 3 premiers, Doveton Eagles.

Bewildering race form continues Bewildering enhanced his reputation as Australia’s fastest greyhound with a stunning victory in the Speed Star match race series at Sandown Park on Sunday 10 September.

Well supported in both overall and head-tohead markets, Bewildering poured on the speed to run away from Group 1 winner Black Mumbo in the home straight and stop the clock in 29.030 seconds.

It was the fifth fastest time ever recorded at Sandown Park, the second fastest time ever recorded in a Speed Star behind Smart Missile’s 29.006, and the fastest since Unlawful Entry’s 28.951 track record in March 2016.

It was also Bewildering’s second victory in the format following his victory in the Bill Collins Speed Star in May in which he ran 29.119.

“We thought that was about what he could run and he delivered which was good,” said kennel representative Jason Thompson, deputizing for his wife Seona.

“It shows how fast the dog is. It’s one thing to do it once or twice but to maintain that speed and improve on what he did earlier in the year. It’s unbelievable how fast he is.

“The only worry I had was if he had drawn on the inside because he likes being right in the centre of the track. The format suits him and the draw suited him.”

Later in the evening, star stayer Burn One Down made it a feature double for Thompson when claiming the Stayers Challenge when running 41.695.

Typically tardy out of the boxes, Burn One Down surprised everyone when he pinged the lids and record the fastest first split.

“We were a bit slack on him training wise,” Thompson conceded after the run.

“He’d done a bit of travelling so we backed off on him a bit and might have had him a bit too fresh!

Bewildering stunned the Sandown crowd with a brilliant run.

“But he got the job done. He went 30.34 off the back so it would have been interesting to see what he could have run in a 600m race.

He’s been ultra-consistent through his career which is a credit to the dog.”

Other event winners on the night included Thirty Talks (29.413) and Not Available

(29.433) in the Speed Star consolation events, Rockoon (29.522) in the Young Guns, and Zipping Angus (34.234) in the Galactic Diamond.
