Property Lift out

Pakenham resident Anita was forced to leave her cattle out in a paddock at Nar Nar Goon when the Bunyip fires hit. She does not know the fate of the house, cattle and the pets there. This view was from Bald Hill Road in Pakenham on Picture: ROB CAREW Saturday. 191054

Fire despair!

By Jessica Anstice Pakenham resident Anita is facing sleepless nights as the Bunyip State Park fire continues to burn out-of-control and she is left in the dark about whether her cattle have survived.

Lightning strikes started six separate fires in the north-west corner of Bunyip State Park on Friday evening.

Firefighters were able to extinguish four of the fires and the remaining two merged on Saturday morning.

The fire was described as ‘much larger’ than those in the state park on Black Saturday by CFA assistant chief officer Trevor Owen.

Unable to protect her 20 Limousin cows situated in a paddock on Olson Road in Nar Nar Goon North has brought stress and worry upon Anita.

“I’m concerned for my cows and the wildlife. I’m absolutely praying to God that everyone and the animals are safe,” she said.

The fire as it looked from the Pakenham Hotel car park. 191054 “I don’t know anything about it at this stage.

I don’t even know if the house on the property is still standing. I’m not allowed out there yet and that’s what’s killing me at the moment.

“If I had had needed to go there to grab whatever I would’ve gone in a heartbeat.”

Anita said she will be ‘devastated’ if she

finds out her cows didn’t make it.

“I’m just guttered. It’s the animals. That’s their territory. They can’t evacuate like humans can,” she said.

“If people were allowed to clear their land it wouldn’t have been as catastrophic as it has been.

“The firefighters are the heroes, so are the water-bombers. It’s the greenies and the council that need to approve of clearing land.”

Anita is planning on going back to her cattle as soon as she is allowed in.

Volunteers from the Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) Pakenham Unit were called upon to rescue a horse in the stifling heat in Clyde on Friday 1 March.

Receiving the call for help at 9.30am VICSES volunteers were alerted to a horse trapped in mud at a property in Manks Road.

While it was not known how long the horse had been laying in the mud for, it was believed to have been stuck overnight and was not able to stand up by Friday morning.

With the temperature climbing to a high of 38 degrees, VICSES volunteers battled through the mud and sludge in a five-hour effort to rescue the horse using specialist training and the aid of a local vet to pull the horse to safety.

The horse was freed at 2.30pm and given the tick of approval from the vet soon after.

Pakenham SES media officer Shayne Honey said crew members came away unharmed, despite spending a significant period of time in the difficult conditions.

Holy site given green light

By Brendan Rees An abandoned gym in Narre Warren described as a "drug den" will be knocked down and transformed into a church.

Casey Councillors approved a planning permit to be issued for the site at 5 Rebound Court during their meeting on 19 February.

The long abandoned site, which has was originally opened in 1980 as the Rebound Leisure Centre has become a hive of vandals, drug users and squatters - just metres from a neighbouring childcare and kindergarten.

Last year, Star News reported dumped shopping trolleys, bins, graffiti-strewn walls and a makeshift table with milk-crate seats and a discarded bong being sighted. The applicant for the proposed church is Australasian Conference Association, who acts as a trustee for the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

According to a council document, proposed developments predominantly consists of internal rearrangement of the existing building, including construction of auditorium (with mezzanine seating above), hall, Sabbath school rooms, cry room, kitchen, laundry, Deacons Store and ADRA Centre.

The church will cater 116 patrons from Sunday to Friday, and up to 200 patrons on Saturdays and special events, under the proposal.

Special events would include 10 wedding events, 10 funeral events, four celebratory events, and three religious events with a closing time of 11pm.

Casey Councillor Sam Aziz said the place

Casey Councillor Sam Aziz says a new development at an abandoned building in Narre Warren will Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS be of great benefit for the community. 191096 of worship would "be extremely beneficial for our residents."

"All new citizens coming to Casey generate economic stimulus which can contribute to

the creation of jobs and prosperity for all our residents," he said.

Cr Rex Flannery said the proposed development was a win-win for the community, saying

it would "to clean it up and beautify that end of the street."

"Having someone utilising it will deter hopefully people thinking about going there for creating damage to the building and also using it has a drug den," he said. When asked when works would start, Cr Flannery said: "I'm pretty sure they're keen to get started as soon as possible - the sooner the better."

Renata McClutchie of Narre Warren, who has been dropping off her daughter to Glorykids Childcare and Kindergarten next door for the past four years, said she hadn't seen any unruly behaviour at the abandoned site but supported the idea of the church development.

The proposal does not seek to alter the existing access and parking arrangements, the council document says.

Vice-president of Narre Warren Business Group (NWBG) Dale Munckton said "With the application approved we hope there will be no negative impact to the traders and that council will be pro-active in managing any parking/ traffic issues."

Neighbouring business owner of Fountain Gate Taxation Service Jeff Riddle said since the gym's closure, intruders "continually break into the rear."

"They've tried to set it alight at times too. I've been told that most of the cars that park around the back are luxury vehicles - the drug dealers," he said. Several years ago, the former facility was touted as a potential mosque and community centre by the Hazara group, the Etrat Institute of Australia but was rejected by Casey council due to an abject parking shortfall.

There's Great White hope A two-tonne dead Great White shark that was rescued after being abandoned at a wildlife park is in "good shape," says the owner of her new home.

The shark named 'Rosie' was lifted onto the back of a truck and driven down the Bass Highway - past a welcoming party on Kooweerup - en route to Crystal World and Prehistoric Journeys in Devon Meadows on Thursday 21 February.

Owner of Crystal World Thomas Kapitany says his team had been busy derusting and cleaning up her tank since her arrival.

"You can see how murky the tank is; we just needed to keep flushing the tank until she's 100 per cent clean," he said.

Rosie, who was originally found dead in 1998 in tuna fishing nets in South Australia, was preserved in the wildlife park in Bass.

However, since the park's closure in 2012, her tank has sadly been the target of vandals, with side windows smashed and rubbish thrown inside.

"It's massive creature," Mr Kapitany explained. "She's looking a lot better - quite a lot of scratch marks where things were dropped in around her, so she's a little beat up."

One of the laminated windows which were

about one inch thick had been cracked by vandals, he said.

He said before his team began using expensive chemicals, they needed to make sure Rosie's tank wasn't going to leak.

"At moment we've filled the tank up with 20,000 litres of water. We're actually pressure testing her tank and see if we have any leaks," he said.

It is the first time Mr Kapitany has taken on a dead shark at Crystal World which boasts more than 300 tons of specimens including crystals, dinosaur fossils and meteorites stored and sold from the site.

"I'm doing because I want to do it. To me this is what gives me my highs, not having money in the bank or having a flashy car.

"We know what to do, we know how to go about it, it's just time and money," he said.

He said he found some air bubbles on side of tank but to replace it would be "mind boggling expensive."

After pressure testing, he said about $6,000 worth of glycerine would be used to get rid of the creases in her body.

"Glycerine will give us optical clarity and the best state of preservation," Mr Kapitany said.

He said a scuba diver in a dry suit had also

Scores of interested buyers gathered in Clyde North to put their bid on the stunning home on Saturday 2 March with all proceeds going towards Neale Daniher's FightMND charity.

Henley joined forces with Brown Property Group to build the the four-bedroom, twobathroom property in Newgrange Boulevard at Meridian Estate with the help of 200 local tradies - complete with guest furniture and a Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport in the driveway.

FightMND co-founder and AFL legend, Neale Daniher and his daughter Bec, were on hand to greet the crowds, soak up the auction and meet the new owners of the family home.

It was a fast paced and exciting auction with the Leopold family snapping up the house, land, furniture and car for $700,000.New owner, Roger Leopold said: "I am thrilled with the purchase of this stunning home and has always respected and admired Neale Daniher in what he is achieving with FightMND." Henley Site Manager, Greg Papanikolaou, whose father-in-law passed away from MND, said he had an emotional connection to the project.

"The generosity of trades and suppliers to jump at the chance to help out has been fantastic. We're pretty chuffed," he said.

"It's tough to see (what Neale Daniher is going through) but what he's doing is fantastic in raising so much awareness. It's hard to see him in his battle, but it's fantastic to see what we're achieving today."

Neale Daniher said the auction was a great result for FightMND: "It would not have been possible without Henley Properties, Brown Property Group and the volunteer trades and suppliers for donating so generously. Knowing that more funds are heading our way for vital research is simply marvellous."

Fight MND chief executive Jamie Howden

Brad Ryan from Harcourts auctioneers the sale. said he was amazed to see the amount of people get behind the auction.

"To think that all the proceeds are coming to fight MND - to enable us to continue our critical work in MND research, both here in Australia and globally - is amazing," he said.

"From the Brown Property Group and Fraser Brown, and Henley Properties and (CEO) Tony Blackshaw, Guest Furniture and Bill Guest who supplied all the furniture for the house, and just all the trades and the suppliers - 200, all up, have given their time free of charge for this magnificent home."

Mr Howden said the proceeds would go towards world leading clinical trials for MND which is a condition that progressively damages nerves in the brain and spinal cord.

Henley chief executive Antony Blackshaw said his team was humbled and proud to be part of the project.

"Henley is committed to continue in joining forces with our trades and suppliers in creating a real difference in communities," he said.

Shiree Miles heart stopped when she noticed her dogs eating what appeared to be blue looking meatballs.

The Cranbourne West resident said she was "absolutely terrified" when she saw her Staffy cross Pitbull Bullet laying on the ground eating what she believed to bait in her backyard about 8.30am on Friday 1 March.

"I woke up, I was about to make breakfast and I let the dogs outside," she said.

"I found one of them eating the bait that was out there...I thought it was from something mouldy. It looked like a meatball, and it was really bright blue."

"I took it off him pretty quick," she added.

Within seconds, she says her Jack Russell Stella wandered over and began chewing one of the balls.

"I got that out of her mouth straight away.

"I was like 'Oh my god I think it's rat sac or something.' I got into a bit of a panic and called the vet straight away."

Ms Miles soon discovered three more of the balls in her Calais Court backyard. "They don't have bones; there's nothing for them to eat out there."

The vet told her the dogs had eaten either snail or rat bait and provided some vomit inducing pills.

She said Stella didn't ingest any of the bait while Bullet didn't ingest enough for it to "be an issue."

"They came back the same day and they were fine, they just said to keep a close eye on them, been no dramas," Ms Miles added.

"If it had of happened any other day they probably would've died to be honest, because we usually put them straight out and leave for work."

Ms Miles took Bullet to the vet for a followup check on Sunday 3 March.

"Had a blood test to make sure everything was ok, and they give the dog some medication. He was fine," she said.

Shaken from the incident, Ms Miles said she and her partner were now in the process of setting up CCTV cameras around their home.

"I'm so terrified to leave them outside," she said.

Crestani rises up for election

DIRECT TO PUBLIC No Referral Needed

Casey deputy mayor Rosalie Crestani is standing for election in the Australian Senate. Cr Crestani has been endorsed as the lead candidate of Christian conservative party Rise Up Australia.

Her platform includes foreign-owned companies paying a “fair share” of tax, tightening border security and to investigate building thorium nuclear reactors or battery supplies.

Having run in the 2013 federal elections, Cr Crestani felt there was a “changing of the guard” happening in national politics. “It’s an ideal opportunity to put out ideas that the country has to change.”

La Trobe MP Jason Wood chose a safe and feel good topic to decorate his blue showbags so “liberally” distributed at the Berwick Show recently.

I ask, why is the protection of wild African animals (the picture depicts elephant, rhino and lion and the slogan “Wood for Wildlife“) given priority over the protection of the lives of fellow human beings, “People Just Like Us”, who have fled dangerous situations to seek safety and a chance to get on with their lives in Australia?

Surely Mr Wood, you could have had the courage to promote a topic more pertinent to the Australian political scene.

Until you can demonstrate your genuine care for the plight of refugees and asylum seekers in our Government’s “care” you will never receive my vote.

How about a slogan such as “Wood will turn back to Humanity”? I like that one!

Wendy D’Alton: At least twice a week I see an accident there. I drive further so I don’t have to deal with the drama.

Chris Barnes: Sadly, it will take a casualty to change it ...it’s disgraceful of VicRoads...yes, my kids went and go to Clyde Primary and it’s such a dangerous area at school times.

Aiden Coward: I emailed VicRoads about it years ago and they just shrugged me off in an email. They said it a main road and will not drop the speed limit

A vibrant school community Tucked away amongst the paddocks between Pakenham and Nar Nar Goon is a vibrant kindergarten to Year 12 school community of about 800 students and more than 100 staff members.

The Pakenham campus of Chairo Christian School is continually growing - in term of enrolments, facilities, resources and programs - but is structured into multiple smaller communities to ensure a caring environment for all students.

Shelley, the mother of a Year 3 student, said; "the minute we walked into Chairo we felt at peace and there was such warmth. We are so impressed with the care that we have received - the wellbeing of each child really matters".

Many other parents have also commented about the friendly, loving and supportive environment that they have discovered at Chairo.

Chairo is committed to delivering a Christcentred education and building the capability, character and commitment of all students, and to being intentional about caring for students, setting high standards and seeing each student thrive.

Aiden in Year 5 commented; "Chairo is a really good school. It is so friendly and I have made so many good friends. They are also pretty good at teaching us all our subjects. The teachers are kind, generous, gentle and caring".

Students visit Canberra Mary MacKillop Primary School was delighted to have recently taken their Year 6 students to Canberra to explore the nation's capital.

Curriculum Leader Miss Emily O'Kane said that staff and students found the trip to be full of valuable learning experiences. "(Students) understanding of politics, democracy, and Australian history truly comes alive when they visit locations such as Parliament House, the Electoral Education Centre and Old Parliament House," Miss O'Kane said.

"The children also delight in being exposed

to such engaging stimuli for learning at The National Gallery, The Royal Mint and Questacon.

"A highlight for us as teachers was witnessing the way our students participated in learning at the War Memorial, we felt so proud of the respectful students we had with us as they honoured victims of war, and all those who had sacrificed their lives, during the Last Post Ceremony."

One experience which stood out to Miss O'Kane was when the children had a private

"Chloe W (Year 6) shared how it reminded her of The Catholic Social Teaching Principle of Dignity of the Human Person, and how all people deserved to be treated with respect.

GROW BUSINESS … Casey Cardinia Region

Lights, camera...

By Narelle Coulter Narre Warren business Successful Endeavours is set to be given national exposure on Foxtel's Industry Leaders program.

Production company Annex Media spent Tuesday 26 February filming at the electronics design and embedded software development consultancy based at the Casey Corporate Centre in Victor Crescent.

Managing director Ray Keefe has been told the segment will go to air at the end of March.

The program focuses on companies and business leaders who are taking the Australian economy forward.

Mr Keefe said Successful Endeavours came the attention of the show's producers after winning an Internet of Things Award last year for its work on a system which detects faults and problems in SWER electrical distribution systems to help prevent bushfires.

Mr Keefe said he was pleased the cutting edge work of Successful Endeavours would be highlighted to a national audience.

"The national exposure will help people understand just how much above its weight Australia punches in so many industries," Mr Keefe said.

"We are really good at innovation and problem solving and the creative side of things, but we are not good at commercialising things. We are really quite reserved about saying 'this is really good and really worth paying for'.

"Things go overseas not because we can’t do it here, but because we are stuck in the psychology that somehow doing it here wouldn't work.

Casey to host ideas forum Successful Endeavours managing director Ray Keefe in front of the cameras.

"Successful Endeavours makes it possible to innovate here and take projects through to commercialisation."

Mr Keefe said the interviewer was interested to know the Successful Endeavours back story.

"They wanted to know what we were trying to do as a business, the challenges we faced on the way, some of the successes we had."

Mr Keefe said the film crew spent more than six hours at the Casey Corporate Centre, shooting footage for what will eventually be a five minute segment.

Successful Endeavours has 15 staff, a number that has doubled in the two years since it

190848

relocated to Victor Crescent from Berwick.

Mr Keefe said 2019 was shaping up as a busy year, with Successful Endeavours heavily involved in the Smart Cities space.

He said he hoped Successful Endeavours' appearance on Industry Leaders would reinforce the message that manufacturing innovation is thriving in Australia.

"We're a tiny 15 people business in Narre Warren winning national wards for innovation. It does get attention. I want others to be encouraged to have a go at doing it too.

"There is lots of good, smart stuff happening in Australia but we don’t showcase it well.

That is one of things I’m trying to change."

Expo opens up some career pathways The South East Careers and Try-a-Trade Expo is the largest expo of its kind outside of Melbourne, with more than 100 exhibitors and attended by 4,000 local students and community members.

This year, in addition to exhibitors from major universities and vocational providers, there will also be an employment offering, with more than 500 job vacancies on offer on the day.

Another new feature at this year’s event will be industry-specific forums to get the inside information on what specific industries are looking for in employees and how they recruit.

Executive officer of South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN) Andrew Simmons explained that the event, which is now in its 10th year, helps to open up students’ futures by making them aware of the wide range of employment options on offer in the region.

“The Try-a-Trade expo is important because it gives local students the opportunity to meet with universities, employers, TAFEs and training providers at a local level rather than having to travel to them,” he said.

Jemimah and Kaileah from Narre South P-12 College learn about different career options at the 2018 Casey Careers and Try a Trade Expo, with CEO of South East Local Learning and Employment Network, Andrew Simmons and Inez Musgrove from Ayk Hill Equestion Centre Hillcrest College. 180124 Picture: STEWART CHAMBERS “It brings the providers to the students... schools can bring a range of students from Year 9 up and depending on the age range or the year level, the students get something different out of the event.”

Mr Simmons explained that the expo will feature different elements such as the ‘trade section’ which will encourage students to “have a go” at their chosen trade. Providers within this section will allow students to partake in activities such as bricklaying and the cutting of a mannequin’s hair.

Inside, the expo will take on a more tra-

ditional form, allowing students to talk to universities and training providers about the courses on offer.

“Whether you are wanting to try your hand at bricklaying or hairdressing, wanting to speak to universities about entry requirements, learn about a specific industry or looking for a job, this is one event you cannot miss,” Mr Simmons said.

The South East Careers and Try-a-Trade Expo will take place on 2 April 2019 from 9am to 2pm at the Cranbourne Turf Club. For bookings and information, email expo@sellen.org.au.

The City of Casey will host its first TEDx forum in April.

Inspired by the theme of community empowerment, represented by a ‘Two Hands’ image, presenters will offer their unique tales of success (or failure) or trend-setting ideas poised to affect real, positive change.

City of Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon welcomed the inaugural event.

“This will be the first TEDx event to be held at our magnificent Bunjil Place, and we’re absolutely thrilled,“ Cr Stapledon said.

“Council is working hard to empower our community through numerous exciting initiatives, and we’re thrilled to be able to help showcase those who are working towards that same goal.“ TEDxCasey 2019 will be held over three sessions, one in the afternoon with a focus on youth, and two in the evening.

TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark discussion and connection.

These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x equals independently organized TED event With only a few places remaining for live presentations, the curation team are also actively seeking applications from interested speakers “The curation team are working to select presenters for TEDxCasey who will take attendees on an emotional journey of connection, discovery and inspiration.

He also works on major health, freight and logistics and resource-related projects on a

national basis.

His work in the North West of Australia has focused on advising major resource companies and government authorities on the ‘future plan’ for the north from a community, employment and regulatory perspective.

His release of the Australia 2050 Project – A Big Australia? is providing a platform to open discussion and understand the future drivers of Australia ranging from globalisation, health and ageing, freight and logistics to the future role and impacts of the resource industry.

Ninja warriors conquer

By Brendan Rees Hundreds gathered in Tooradin to push their minds and bodies to their limits in one of the world's most gruelling obstacle courses on Saturday 2 March.

Participants ran through mud, jumped over fire, sprinted five kilometres, crawled under barbed wire, climbed walls, ropes and more in the Spartan Australia Race at Tooradin Estate - the first time to be held in the City of Casey.

Fun also featured a DJ and speaker setup, as well as food trucks.

Racers from different age groups will compete for the world championship qualification, and a share of the 2019 National Series prize pool.

City of Casey Mayor Amanda Stapledon said the event was great for showcasing Tooradin and boosting tourism.

"This is what tourism in Casey is all about; opportunities like this provide wonderful health and well-being participation that also brings people together from all over Australia," she said.

"We are currently in discussions about hosting this event in Casey next year - and forming a Casey team."

Tyler, 11, with his grandmother Wendy Fanelli.

Pakenham’s Puma pride

By Hayley Wildes There are certain moments in time that will be remembered for as long as a club exists.

One of those moments occurred for the Pakenham Pumas baseball club on Sunday afternoon in Ormond.

Taking on Ormond-Glenhuntly Blue in the Victorian Summer Baseball League Division 3 Firsts grand final, Pakenham needed a hero.

With the game tied at 1-1 heading into the fourth innings, Pakenham's Shaun Fahy stepped to up to the plate with all three bases loaded.

To say he delivered would be an understatement. Fahy smashed a grand slam - the first in his career - to see the Pumas jump out to a commanding 5-1 lead.

Ormond-Glenhuntly would never respond and Pakenham went onto claim the premiership with a 7-3 win.

"That was a great feeling," Fahy said of his grand slam hit.

"I've never hit a grand slam before in my life, so to hit one in the grand final and to have my wife and kids there to see it happen as well, to me it was even more joyful to have them there with me.

"The credit goes to the team though; Trent Job, he's a young kid and he led the team - we rode his shoulders and he was magnificent."

Whilst the grand final was a tremendous spectacle, Pakenham's road to get there was just as stunning.

After finishing fourth, the Pumas took on the previously undefeated St Kilda Saints in a semi-final. Unintimidated by the task at hand, Pakenham came away with a 7-5 win to send St Kilda packing and book their place in the big dance.

"We've got a lot of older guys who have played plenty of finals baseball and I suppose we peaked our run at the right time - we knew if we made finals we were going to be a good chance," Fahy said of Pakenham's finals run.

"We finally got our best side on the diamond for the last two weeks, which we struggled with all season due to family commitments, holidays, injuries and all the rest of it, so it was good to get the right 10 guys there at the one time.

"Everyone had a part in the win in some way, shape or form, so it's a credit to the guys for digging deep after finishing fourth - it's pretty special."

After surprising many on their road to the premiership, Fahy ranks this flag as one of the sweeter ones he's been a part of.

"This one was a very special win," he said.

"I've played in a lot of finals and won a few flags, but this one at the moment ranks as one of the best ones I've been in.

"Winning two games we weren't expected to win, it was pretty special."

The Pumas earned their premiership the hard way, but that's simply part of their DNA. Without clubrooms, despite countless efforts to gain funding, the club is a family that exists because of their love for the game.

"As much as we want to hang our flags on a wall somewhere, we don't have any walls to hang them on," Fahy said.

The winning moment - the Pakenham Pumas swarm after claiming the premiership.

"We've been lobbying the council for years and years; we've come up with solutions and ideas, but when you don't have the support of the council it's really hard.

"We're guys who just love the game, so at the end of the day, as long as we have a diamond, as long as we have somewhere we can sell food to our supporters, we just play.

"We're a bunch of old-timers with some young kids coming through and we just want the young kids to have all the opportunities they deserve."

Fahy highlighted the tireless work of many volunteers as having played a vital role in the premiership, keeping the club afloat and bringing the Pakenham baseball community together.

"We're a family - a lot of the guys have been around playing together for quite a few years, so it's just like playing with your family," he said.

"The spirit is always high, we're always there every week and there's so many committee members doing so much around the club.

"From keeping the grounds in good condition and attracting young players to the game, it's a massive club effort done by so many people working really hard behind the scenes to make it what it is."

There's no doubt this premiership will go down in Pumas folklore for all to savour.

A new era in junior footy A new era in under 18 football will begin in 2019 with the introduction of the NAB League.

NAB, a long-time partner of the NAB AFL Rising Star Program in Australia, will further support the future stars of the game, extending its partnership with the AFL to the next exciting phase of the expanded under 18 competition, that now includes teams from Victoria, Tasmania, Northern Territory, NSW/ACT and Queensland.

With a focus to provide further support in education, wellbeing, high performance and coaching, the NAB League will help increase opportunities for talented footballers to reach their potential both on and off the field.

It will also help better prepare the athletes that don't get drafted, returning to local clubs and schools as peer leaders who set examples.

In a significant development for the national sport, the Tasmanian Devils will be a fullyfledged NAB League team in 2019, while an Academy Series featuring five northern state squads will take part in the lead up to the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.

AFL head of talent pathways and state league competitions, Tristan Salter, welcomed NAB's involvement with the next chapter of growth in the under 18 pathway.

"NAB has been a fantastic supporter of our AFL talent pathways for 18 years now and it is exciting that they will extend their support and be naming rights partner for this new era," Mr Salter said.

"Over 1,000 AFL and AFLW players, including the likes of Dustin Martin, Chloe Molloy, Gary Ablett Jnr and Madison Prespakis, have been drafted from Victoria's under 18 competitions - with 2018 producing more than 50 percent of the boys (62%) and girls (59%) talent at the NAB AFL and AFLW Drafts.

"We welcome Tasmania to the competition in what will be the start of the team's journey towards a return to the VFL competition."

In a step forward for footy fans, a revamped digital platform, highlighted by the official

The Dandenong Stingrays will be part of the NAB League. 183170 NAB League app, will offer insights never before seen from the competition.

"The dedicated NAB League app will provide our audience with live information at their fingertips, from stats to game vision and

match highlights," Mr Salter said.

"The increased digital access to the competition and its players will help our audience learn more about our draft prospects across the entire season, not just around draft time."
