We lose millions By Brendan Rees Casey punters missed the jackpot last year with the latest figures showing they lost $131.9 million to electronic gaming machines - which has been labelled a "shame" and "breaking families." The latest figures from the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation revealed the Berwick Springs Hotel, which is owned by Zagames, was one of the worst in the state with players losing $19.6 million. Hampton Park Tavern recorded $13.7 million while $6.5 million was spent at Amstel Club in Cranbourne. Kerry Jose of the Cranbourne Salvation Army branch said gambling related harm was "without a doubt" impacting household budgets. "Once they start, they keep going until there's nothing left ... a lot don't see it as a problem," she said. She said many people spent all their rent money on pokies and got behind with other bills. "They've got to come to services like us to give them food to survive," Ms Jose said. The losses for the year were slightly lower than $134 million in losses recorded in 2018. And almost $12 million in losses were recorded in Casey in December - up $279,643.15 on the December 2018 figures. Casey Council was contacted for comment but due to deadline, was unable to respond in time. However, last year Casey Council said it wanted the State Government to extend a cap on the number of electronic gaming machines (EGM) on the municipality, adding a city-wide cap would "provide certainty to the remaining parts of Casey to keep the EGM density consistent across the municipality." Bad Bets Australia spokesman Rowan Winn said he was the problem was not being addressed, with the total losses representing "pain and suffering." "That fact is the figures aren't going down," Mr Wenn said.
He said he was astounded the gambling industry was regulated by the State Government and yet "it's allowed to do this level of harm." "It's not good enough for politicians to say 'it's just money that's lost.' "If this isn't an alarm bell I don't know what is. The impact of these figures is getting less and less because we're getting used to it but we should be outraged by this," Mr Wenn said. Alliance for Gambling Reform director and spokesman Tim Costello said poker machines led to the loss of "much more than money" - and was especially concerned about a proposal by Castellos for 100 poker machines in Clyde North. "I'm pleased to hear the Casey Council has decided to lodge an objection to the application with the Commission," Mr Costello said. He said if the additional pokies machines were approved, it "would undoubtedly" increase gambling harm in Casey and further damage the local economy. "Estimates are that those 100 machines could take an extra $4 million from the Casey community in their first year of operation alone," Mr Costello said. Mr Costello said on average, Victorian adults lost $530 on the pokies in 2019. "When you consider the majority of Victorians don't gamble on poker machines, that means there are some people losing tens of thousands of dollars a year to these dreaded machines of addiction," he said. "Pokies dens are designed to fleece people regardless of socio-economic background or geography."

Car-thefts hotspot By Brendan Rees A terrified Cranbourne West resident says she keeps a baseball bat near her front door after thugs broke into her car. It comes as neighbours say they are afraid to live in their own homes as their streets are rife with car thefts and other crime. Tara Hocking of Bookham Way said she woke up on Friday morning, 24 January to find scissors jammed in the ignition of her Subaru Forester with a handful of change stolen. “I’m sleeping - not even eight feet from the door of my car, didn’t hear a thing; it’s a bit scary,” Ms Hocking said, “It is out of control. It is getting to the stage where I will go out with a baseball bat - and I’m not the only person. “If you can’t respect my personal boundaries ... then I will hold you accountable if I catch you,” she said. Another resident, Emma Hughes, said both her and her husband’s cars were stolen from their Miralie Way home in the space of three weeks. “They drove on the rims so severely that it was actually, the rim was worn down to where the brake pads and brake discs are,” Ms Hughes said of her Holden Commodore after it was recovered. “They’re just ruthless.” Ms Hughes said she understood police were “doing everything they could” but said residents were “getting to the point now where citizens are going to be taking it into their own hands” because “these people are not being caught.” “We just don’t feel safe in our home anymore.” Ms Hughes also called for action at the intersection of Stephellen Way and Miralie
Emma Hughes says both hers and her husband’s cars were stolen in the space of three weeks. 203681 Picture: ROB CAREW Way where hoon drivers “came flying around around the corner without stopping.” Another Cranbourne West resident, Jack Thomas, said his Nissan Navara was stolen on Australia Day where the thugs used the car to take out trees and road signs on Fairfield Boulevard before crashing it at a bus stop on Evans Road. Meanwhile, Lynbrook residents woke up last week to find their car windows smashed while parked in streets. Casey Neighbourhood Watch chairman Rob Ward said most car thefts were opportunistic and advised residents not become complacent when locking their car and securing valuables. “We can take sensible precautions and there will be less of it,” he said.
Liberal MP for Gembrook Brad Battin said the State Government had had broken their promise to deliver funding for a new police station in Clyde North - with theft from motor vehicles rising “with 600 more incidents than the previous year.” Victoria Police Inspector Justin Cornford said through Birds of Prey operations police were tackling vehicle crime in the south east using automated number plate recognition technology to identify false registration plates, stolen vehicles and people wanted on outstanding warrants. “While police are working hard to stop vehicle crime offenders in their tracks, we also want to remind the community about the importance of reporting any vehicle crime incidents as soon as they can,” Insp Cornford said.
Explosion heard as car goes up in flames By Brendan Rees A car turned into a fireball after exploding in Cranbourne on Monday morning, 27 January. Video of the incident emerged after emergency services attended the incident near Toirram Crescent about 2am. Video showed the car well alight before an explosion occurred, lighting up the night sky. Residents posted to Facebook’s Casey Crime Page saying they were awoken hearing a bang. “It shook the whole house quite a few of us were outside wondering what had happened,” one posted. One woman posted: “This is what rattled the gate so early in the morning.” Firefighters from Cranbourne and Narre Warren fire brigades attended the scene and brought the blaze under control within halfan-hour. It’s believed the car was a four-wheel-drive

and no occupants were present at the scene. There were reports an LPG tank exploded before fire crews arrived but this is yet to be
confirmed. Police say they are treating the fire as suspicious and are investigating.
Two named for planning committee Casey Council has appointed two independent members to its newly formed Special Planning Committee. It comes as councillors voted to relinquish their rights to vote on planning applications at a special council meeting on New Year's Eve after public confidence had been obliterated following the IBAC corruption allegations. This was followed by an expression of interest process through which 10 applications were received for the balance of the Special Committee membership. Independent committee members were required to have relevant planning, governance and probity experience. The Special Committee will decide on planning applications and process planning scheme amendments on Council's behalf while the IBAC investigation is underway. The two appointees are: David Gibb Mr Gibb held the position as Chairman on the Municipal Association Victoria (MAV) Melbourne 2030 Reference Group from 2004-2008.

He is also a member of the Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF), and member of the VFF Land Management planning committee. Mr Gibb holds a Bachelor of Science (biochemistry and genetics) and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD).

Aus Day celebrated by a By Brendan Rees Huge crowds have turned out for Cranbourne's Australia Day celebrations to showcase its rich and diverse cultural heritage. There were vibrant colours, laughter, food, and plenty of music and dance - as hundreds of people united as a community to the Passport to Casey's Cultural Heritage Showcase event at the Balla Balla Community Centre in Cranbourne East. The event was run by the Cultural Historical Association of Rodriguans and Mauritians in Victoria, (CHARM), in collaboration with other community organisations. The doors opened at 11am and Casey's 2019 Young Citizen of the Year Nancy Loomba and Casey mayor Susan Serey addressed the gathering before Jacques Mario Gentil sang a rendition of the national anthem. A tribute was also made to the late Darrel Hayward - a local performer, passionate artist, and community volunteer who entertained many for the 10 years singing popular classics and Australian songs. The day was filled with performances by local artists, stalls, a barbecue hosted by the Endeavours Hills Lions Club, a jumping castle, face-painting, and a farm animal petting zoo. A diverse menu served up by volunteers celebrated the nations of the world, featuring vegetable quiches, sausage rolls, samosas, and spring rolls. Among the performers on the day was Mauritius-born Sego Lebrasse of Hallam who was joined by three generations of family. "Love it here; beautiful," he said. "Only one grandchild missing today ... dancing wise there was three generations dancing at the same time," he said. Mr Lebrasse's family - who are a part of the Kanasuc Group performed the 'Sega' - the traditional dance and music of the beautiful

changing cultures and values so we can learn to respect each other and learn about each other," Ms Kimtia said, who came to Australia from Mauritius as a teenager more than 30 years ago. Casey councillor Amanda Stapledon said
the event "was the best yet". "There was so much wonderful entertainment; it was welcoming and friendly," she said. "The involvement by so many cultural groups at the CHARM Australia Day event typifies everything that is Australian".

Drink driver nabbed
Residents should have say on Climate Change
A 47-year-old woman was caught allegedly drink driving at a booze bus site in Cranbourne on Monday 27 January. A booze bus was set up on Thompsons Road when the woman was intercepted about midday. The Cranbourne West woman returned a positive preliminary breath test and a reading of 0.291. She immediately lost her licence, had her car impounded for 30 days and will be charged on summons to appear at a magistrates court at a later date.

Car crashes into home
In response to my question to Casey mayor Susan Serey and deputy mayor Rex Flannery about why hasn't the City of Casey declared a climate emergency? Because this city is in a designated high risk area - Casey's governance office replies that the question of whether to declare a Climate Change emergency will be referred to Casey council's conservation advisory committee for advice. Well how about seeking advice from Casey's residents and ratepayers? Should Casey Council really be referring a decision about Climate Change to a council committee, only, when Climate Change is a complex phenomenon impacting all Casey residents and when Casey council has had its legitimacy compromised by the independent body against corruption? Why can't Casey residents have a say in such an important decision please? I believe Casey council and its governance office may be confused about conservation which is about protecting existing green space and old buildings- as distinct from Climate Change - which is about dealing with the underlying causes behind global warming and increasing extreme weather events. Isn't this far too important a decision to be left to a conservatory committee: a committee that needs to be informed about public opinion as well as climate science? John Glazebrook Endeavour Hills
Council needs to be held accountable
By Brendan Rees A woman has been arrested after a car ploughed into a Clyde North home during the early hours of Thursday, 23 January. It is understood the female driver crashed into a Moorgate Road house about 12.10am before fleeing the scene in her vehicle. “The car was located abandoned nearby a short time later, before the woman was located and arrested in Wenn St about 1am,” a Victoria Police spokesman said. She is currently in custody assisting police with their enquiries. No one was injured during the incident and the investigation into the exact circumstances remains ongoing.
It was interesting to read in the Berwick Star News that at the Council meeting of 21 January 2020 Council refused to answer questions from the floor on the whereabouts of Cr Aziz, yet an absence was recorded on his behalf. It has been widely publicised that he can't be contacted after absconding overseas just before he was to attend the Independent Broad- based Anticorruption Commission (IBAC) hearings into

Funny that! IBAC hearings have been widely reported with extensive testimony recounted on the numerous questionable activities of persons directly connected to Casey Council. Yet Casey councillors seem to have their heads in the sand. Cr Flannery has even stated that the community has become the 'judge, jury and hang
man', are 'jumping the gun' and any conflict of interest has only 'been alleged'. Does he think we, the ratepayers, are uninformed? When comparable misbehaviours have been identified in other reputable organisations, those responsible have been required to step down until all questionable activities have been examined. In respect for the reputation of Casey Council, its councillors should do the same. Judith Eppinger, Narre Warren North.

Bryan L. Abrahams: CORRUPTION IS alive and difficult to alleviate. IBAC has to continue to investigate but they should be jailed if found guilty. Tony Bunce: Shouldn't be making any decisions until the hearing is completed. There's too many of them under a cloud. Jenny McAuslan: Two independent members from what exactly? Qualified planners?

Lilian gets Aussie honour By Brendan Rees A dedication to helping others in need has earned well-respected former nurse Lilian Leonard an Australia Day honour. The Pearcedale resident was awarded the Medal (OAM) of the Order of Australia for service to community health. The former registered division one nurse said the award came as a "surprise". "It came as an email and I was going to get rid of it as junk," she laughed, "and then I saw the insignia on top." "Very humbling because I'm just an ordinary person," the great-grandmother said. It's not the first time Lilian has been recognised for her work either. In 1993, she was the recipient of an Advance Australia Foundation Award. Born in Kolkata, India, Lilian's family came to Australia in 1951 when she was aged 13. The family lived in Oakleigh and Lilian graduated from the Melbourne School of Nursing in 1959. Following marriage and a family of four children, Lilian started a nursing at Cabrini Hospital. It was here that she met surgeon Sir Edward Hughes who sponsored her training in stomal therapy at the Mayfield Centre in 1979. Lilian said stomal therapy - a surgical procedure which results in a section of the bowel being brought to the surface of the abdominal wall - is "something not really talked about and yet in Australia we have 44,000 people that wear a bag." "I worked at Cabrini for 15 years but I thought I had been in the private sector too long so I moved to PANCH, a large public hospital in Preston. "PANCH was a wonderful experience because there was a big ethnic community. A lot of people couldn't speak English and they were very isolated," she said. During this time Lilian attended several
overseas conferences on stoma care and worked in hospitals both in Oslo, Norway and in London. In 1987 she set up an Ostomy Support group at PANCH- which met once a month for patients. "I got so much out of it - so much support and love," she said. But then came a question from a young person who said: "'Lilian, it's really nice to come along to these meetings but there's nothing for young people'," Lilian said. So Lilian placed an advert in the Preston Times in 1989 inviting young ostomates to a gathering at PANCH. This led to her being the founder of the Young Ostomates United Support Group (YOU) which aims to encourage support and friendship between young people including children with a stoma. "YOU is still going - we have just had our 30th birthday," she said. When PANCH closed in 1998, the hospital moved to the new Northern Hospital but Lilian continued to volunteer her time working with the Ostomy Support Groups. Lilian semi-retired in East Gippsland where she worked part-time at Bairnsdale Hospital for six years setting up stoma and breast cancer support - capping off a "wonderful career."

Honoured with OAM By Brendan Rees Julie Anderson is passionate about helping war veterans live their best quality of life. She assists veterans of all ages to lodge applications regarding injury and illness claims. She organises doctor and referral appointments for those struggling on their own or facing red tape with the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA). On 26 January, the Berwick resident was recognised with a Medial of the Order of Australia for her service to veterans and their families. When told of her honour, Ms Anderson said it came unexpected but was truly humbled. "When I got the letter I didn't even know what it was. I was like 'Oh my God'. It came out of the blue," she said. Ms Anderson explained her motivation to help veterans began when her husband, a former Navy electrician, experienced unnecessary delays with medical records and complications through his claim for loss of earnings. Charlie, who served in the Gulf War as a 20-year-old, became quite ill when he returned home years later, which was diagnosed as 'Gulf War illness' - a cluster of medically unexplained chronic symptoms. When his mental health declined Ms Anderson said this was a "trigger" for her to step in and help - not only for husband but for other veterans too. She began as an administrator of a Facebook group called Gulf War Veterans Facebook Group and Advisory Group and the Department of Veterans Affairs Entitlements Facebook Group.

Casey’s finest honoured By Brendan Rees Casey Council has honoured inspiring residents during an Australia Day Awards ceremony on 26 January. Bassir Qadiri was named the 2020 Casey Citizen of the Year for his advocacy work with Afghan communities, particularly through the Bakhtar Cultural Association. He also promotes multiculturalism, harmony and gender equality through regular music and poetry events. Andrew Pinxt was awarded the Casey Senior Citizen of the Year for his local and overseas philanthropic work. He established a philanthropic trust that supports organisations within the Casey community, and he has been a Rotarian for over 40 years. In addition, he has project-managed international endeavours in Tonga: refurbishing buildings and providing a consistent water supply. Other commitments have included CFA volunteering, serving as an Elder with his church and working tirelessly with parents of adult children with disabilities to develop appropriate residential care options. The Casey Young Citizen of the Year award went to 18-year-old Jessica Vidic for her youthfocussed volunteer and mentoring contributions. Her dedication to karate, the Casey Youth Action Committee, Light FM radio station, Berwick Youth Group and the Doveton Show, demonstrates the variety of her volunteering endeavours. The Casey TAC L2P Driver Mentor Volunteers were announced as the 2020 Casey Community Group of the Year for their work in supporting learner drivers to undertake their 120 hours of driving and work towards gaining their licences. The volunteers provide positive adult role models for the younger drivers in our community. Special mention went to the Berwick Athletic Centre and HPNL (Healesville Phillip Is-

In presenting the awards, Casey mayor Susan Serey acknowledged all the finalists across the four categories and congratulated the winners and nominees for the well-deserved recognition.

Doctor ‘caught off guard’ by the honour By Mitchell Clarke A prominent Berwick doctor has been recognised for his remarkable contribution towards community health. Dr. Wesley Jame admits he was "caught off guard" when he was told he had received an OAM (Medal of the Order of Australia). "It's a nice surprise and I'm very proud, but I think the nicest thing is the recognition for the organisations I've worked with and the important role they have in the community," Dr. Jame said. The Berwick local is the principal practitioner of the 125-year-old Berwick Medical Centre, where he's worked since 1978. In that time, Dr. Jame has become a recognisable face in the community and treated three and up to five generations of some families. He's built up an impressive resume within the health sector and is widely recognised as a driving force behind the inception of Casey Hospital and St John of God Hospital. "It was basically a 12-year journey which led to the two hospitals we now see in Berwick," Dr. Jame said. "There were a lot of people on Spring Street that thought that wasn't necessarily appropriate." He recognised the south east was a significant growth corridor and knew the existing Berwick Hospital wouldn't be enough to keep up with demand. During his 21-year stint on the hospital board, Dr. Jame saw the hospital out of a $1.6 million debt through business management and also witnessed the amalgamation with St John of God healthcare. But it took a decade of speaking with ministers and lobbying for Casey Hospital, until he was able to watch that project come to fruition in 2006. "I knew there'd be a lot of growth here and our community knew that was going to happen, but unlike most health developments which tend to happen after the population explodes, this actually happened as the population explosion was occurring," he said. Dr. Jame reflected on a "colour bond mo10 STAR NEWS

"I was standing in the sun at the entrance of Casey Hospital looking over at St John of God, which had just been completed at this stage, and I thought to myself 'this is actually quite a good achievement'," he said. "Having two hospitals functioning side by side in coordination and covering all branches and levels of community at a time where it's
needed was a great feeling." He acknowledges that without the two hospitals, it'd be a "pretty disastrous" situation. But the resume doesn't end there. Dr. Jame has been passionate in working to improve the welfare of children and families. In 1981, he joined the board of Melbourne Family Care Organisation where he served as vice-president for three years until the organisation became known as Family Action.
There, he served as president for five years until the organisation amalgamated with two others to form OzChild. He was chair of the amalgamation steering committee and then inaugural president from 1993 until 1995. He served on the board of South East Palliative Care for 12 years and was chair of the organisation for four years. He also found time to contribute to the introduction of computers into general practice over a 32 year period. His practice was the first to download pathology and radiology results electronically in Victoria. But despite his impressive career, Dr. Jame said his beloved wife Lesley, who is also a GP and practice co-owner, deserves much of the credit. "I'm often running around and doing a lot of other things but she's always been there to pick up the pieces and managed to keep family life together," he explained. The couple, who have three adult children, are currently finding the time to work part time and enjoy life as grandparents. "At the moment it's all about seeing the world through a child's eye," he laughed. "I've got six grandsons to watch, grow up and play with and of course, they don't know what their grandfather does. "I'm looking forward to winding back further and working towards retirement although I don't see myself fully retiring just yet." cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au

Aus day awards in Holt By Brendan Rees A huge crowd has poured into Hampton Park for Australia Day celebrations where several members of the community were honoured with awards. Federal Member for Holt Anthony Byrne presented awards to 28 outstanding individuals, two posthumous awards and seven local organisations for their contribution to our community during the Holt Australia Day Awards ceremony held at Arthur Wren Hall on 26 January.Hundreds gathered on the day which featured a barbecue, live entertainment, face painting, market stalls, jumping castle, community displays and more. The event an opportunity to recognise people like Sally Francis who volunteers with Riding for the Disabled Victoria and Riding for the Disabled Australia which has earned her an Order of Australia Medal for service to people with a disability and horse sports. The Sikh Volunteers Association was also recognised with an award. One of the great stories to emerge in the wake of the tragedy that unfolded with the bushfires was the quick response for relief provided by the Sikh Volunteers who served hundreds of meals to victims of bushfire affected communities. Another recipient worthy of mention was Cranbourne North resident Rebecca Hyland who led efforts within the Tulliallan Community Action Group for five years to stop the development of a Cranbourne East estate on land earmarked for sports fields, with neighbours saying they were "overjoyed" by the result. Ms Hyland alongside other local residents led a consistent campaign in 2019 with multiple rallies and events to ensure the green space that included soccer and cricket fields was maintained to the benefit of local residents. Mr Byrne said: "I congratulate all those receiving a Holt Australia Day Award for their exemplary community spirit and endless hours of volunteer work making our community a better and safer place to live." "Australia Day is a wonderful day when we can recognise those people who contribute to the community and make our community a better place."
Residents and community groups were recognised for their dedication during the Holt Australia Day awards.

Ash's dream Casey debut By Nick Creely Ashley Chandrasinghe won't be forgetting Saturday's golden day in a hurry. The rising 18-year-old Swan not only became the latest player to make his first XI debut for Casey-South Melbourne, but in the process, produced one of the finest performances of the season, notching up an incredible century against the highly-rated Northcote. It's been an incredible few weeks for the talented leftie, who starred for the Southern Pioneers in the Youth Premier League under 18s, whacking 206 runs at an average of 206. But few would have seen his performance on Saturday coming when he answered the call to open up alongside Luke Wells in the absence of gun batsman Nathan Freitag (attending a wedding). Chandrasinghe showed poise, incredible patience and unflappable concentration to bat from ball one of the day until the second last over, producing an epic 144 off 286 balls, all in which came within 378 minutes. Few would have notched up a century on debut in such impressive fashion, and few have looked so comfortable so quickly. But the innings was exactly what the youngster prides himself on at the crease - wearing the bowlers down, never wavering from his strengths and eventually pouncing on the opposition, regardless of who they are, or where. But it's rare that an opener at such a high level can sustain such concentration at the
Ashley Chandrasinghe had a dream debut for Casey on Saturday. Picture: GARY SISSONS crease, and especially in his teenage years in the top-flight of Victorian club cricket. And Swans coach Brian Keogh could hardly contain his excitement on Sunday, and after watching stacks of cricket over the journey, believes it was one of the most memorable knocks he's witnessed. "It's right up there - for Ash to come out to do that was incredible," he said. "And to be fair the Northcote attack are
great, they're fourth on the ladder for a reason. "That's a genuine 144 against a top-eight side - the Northcote guys have a real presence about them, just watching them in the warm up you can tell they're fourth. "Nobody gifted Ash those runs - it was an outstanding innings, but I don't want to put too much pressure on him, I want him to enjoy the moment and enjoy the journey. "But it's really exciting for us - the season has been pretty frustrating, but to have this is really great." Keogh said that the selectors have been discussing the youngster for some time, and were pleased to be able to give him a chance in the red-ball clash. "We talked a lot as a selection group about when to bring him in, and we just felt the twoday game at home in good conditions at Casey would be good," he said. "I was confident he'd do well, but I certainly didn't expect 144 off 280 rocks - it was like he's been out there for five seasons, he just looked so comfortable, he's got a terrific temperament, never gets distracted and just plays each ball on its merits. "He stays in the moment, and knows his game well - that's the really exciting part, he's got all the foundations but he's got more tricks in his bag." Only last week, the humble Chandrasinghe told Star News Group about his approach in the middle, something that clearly held him in
good stead on the weekend. "It's about ball-by-ball concentration, and just trusting my technique and allowing myself to get in and stay there for as long as I can," he said. "If you stay in there, you'll make runs, and that's my mindset when I'm batting. "I've been taught that if nothing's going right for you on the day, that technique is something you can always fall back on, so I try and focus on that a lot." An opportunity for Chandrasinghe to bat with Swans skipper Luke Wells (35) - who combined for 59 with the youngster - was another really pleasing part of the day for Keogh, who said that the influence of the skipper on his young star was crucial. "The opportunity to bat with Wellsy certainly wasn't lost on us, and that was always the plan," he said. "Wellsy looked like he was going to be in for a big one, he was going really well but got out, but he took the pressure off Ash, and the two make a really exciting dynamic for us." The Swans racked up 9/332 by stumps, only a week after a disappointing result against Monash Tigers. Another strong performance on the day was that of keeper batsman Devin Pollock, who crunched 80 after coming in at 5/168 and putting on 157 runs with Chandrasinghe, in a partnership that saw the Swans lift itself into a dominant position.
Youth to pave the way for Casey Demons in the VFL By Tyler Lewis The 2020 VFL season is only around the corner, and after an unusual season 2019, the Casey Demons will look to the excitement of youth to fill its list vacancies this year. The Demons were heavily influenced last season by the injuries its aligned club Melbourne had during the year. But with Melbourne coasting through preseason somewhat unscathed, the positions vacant are one coach Sam Radford hopes to fill with energetic youngsters. While looking for youth, Radford also wants to develop a strong relationship with the Gippsland Power, signing unlucky 2019 NAB League players Ryan Sparkes, Tye Hourigan, Josh Smith and Riley Baldi as Casey players as it is his aim for non-listed players at Casey to improve as footballers and eventually get on an AFL list. “Those four have all signed up,” he said. “They are all training well; Riley is in rehab at the moment, just about to come out. “Ryan Sparkes is training really well, Tye is going well and Josh had an injury preChristmas but he is back going really well at the moment as well, so we have really good
Gippsland Power kids. “We have some good kids from the Stingrays and some good Dragons boys too, so we have some really good young talent down at the club.” The Demons had some issues with its forward half in the latter half of the season last year, moving Jack Hutchins up forward to add to the fire power, but with the additions of youngsters Josh Smith and Corey Ellison, Radford visions a bright future in the forward six for the Demons with some promising young talent over the next few seasons. “Josh is a great size and leads really well,” he said. “We also have Corey Ellison, a young boy who played as a 19-year-old at the Stingrays and Cranbourne. “Corey has really good hands; they are all good young forwards who will need a couple years of developing. “One of the main issues we had last year with our forward line was the injuries Melbourne had to all there forwards, and at the moment they are all up and going, looking really well so that will create a fair bit of depth and competition for spots up forward for us,
which will only make us more competitive. “The VFL is getting younger and younger, but we wanted to bring in some young talented players that we see who could be really good players for Casey, that can be good players for us but have the potential to go on and play AFL footy. “That is something we are really proud of at Casey, getting guys drafted, and that is something we want to do, we want to be a team that is obviously successful, but one that is developing players for the AFL.” The Melbourne Storm will be playing a preseason match at Casey Fields in the coming weeks, and after the final match of the year for the Demons had to be moved due to the ground’s condition, concerns have risen over the condition it will be at the pointy end of the season, but Radford assures the surface will be in a perfect state after some well needed progress to the drainage. “The ground is all good now, it has had redrainage and everything,” he said. “We weren’t on it until after Christmas, but the ground is in fantastic condition at the moment. “We think the Melbourne Storm playing a
game there will be good for the local area, they are expecting a decent crowd and then there is a JLT game on there too. “We don’t see any problem with the surface, it is great condition at the moment and it will be exciting to be back on there, it is looking in magnificent condition.” Casey will face Frankston round 1 at Casey Fields, and despite Frankston having only recorded the one victory last year, Radford said his men won’t be taking the Dolphins lightly due to their improvement and the scare they gave his side in the last game of the season. “We won’t take them lightly, they nearly beat us in the last game of the year,” he said. “I think they had something like 120 tackles against us, we know they will be fit and come out really hard round 1. “We can’t afford to take any team lightly, all the stand alone teams have recruited really well, there are never any easy games in the VFL. “We will certainly be looking to get out there round 1 and get the season going on the right foot.” The Casey Demons will kick-off its season against the Frankston Dolphins on Saturday 4 April at Casey Fields from 1pm.
Whirlwind White thrills once again at Park Oval By Nick Creely David White has a serious love affair with Park Oval. And the Buckley Ridges' superstar captain's latest blazing knock has lifted his team into the Dandenong District Cricket Association's Twenty20 semi-finals. White's latest stunner, an unbeaten 118 off 38 deliveries on Tuesday evening against Heinz Southern District at Park needs to almost be seen to be believed. In the same fixture last season, White crunched 150 off 59 balls against the same side, and this one had the same brutality. The skipper - in the middle chasing the excellent 201 set by the Cobras - slapped 15 sixes in his freakish knock, having the crowd ducking for cover. The visitors put in an excellent effort with the bat after winning the toss, with Trevor Davies (43) and the in-form Chandima Abeykoon (66) putting the home side right under the pump. cranbournenews.starcommunity.com.au
But West Indian seamer Jerome Jones (2/13) was absolutely stellar, and largely responsible for holding back a score that threatened to be over 220 at one point. During the home side's chase, the Bucks were incredibly 1/116 off seven overs, with only the dangerous Daniel Watson back in the sheds. As a result of his latest century, the Bucks skipper has moved past 1000 runs at the venue at an average of 100 as side continue to figure out a way to combat his power and shot placement on the small surrounds. The Bucks took just 12 overs to race down the target, going at 16.9 runs per over, with White also slapping 36 off Josh Dinger in the second over of the chase and later on another 33 off Robert Davies. Susa Pradeep was also in vintage touch, crunching a 27-ball 66 in the win, providing the perfect foil for the rampaging skipper. The win sees the Bucks shoot for an eighth Twenty20 title in the association from just 13 tournaments, but there's plenty of competi-
tion in the remaining three spots. Down at Alex Nelson Reserve, batsmen found it a bit more difficult with the whiteball as Springvale South and St Mary's went to battle. The Bloods were dented early when Dandenong champ Brett Forsyth fell first ball of the game, but youngster Ryan Quirk (54 not out) played an assured knock to guide the home side to a competitive, but potentially underpar 5/123. Andrew Staude also provided a quick-fire 31 for the Bloods. With dangerous MPCA superstar Bobby Wilson opening up for the Saints, the Bloods proved its overriding class with the ball, with Akshay Ballal (3/12) and Jarryd Straker (4/10) combining superbly to help roll the visitors for just 78. Narre South also held off a fierce challenge from North Dandenong down at Lois Twohig Reserve. The Lions were set 159 for victory with all-rounder Matin Sultani lighting it up with a brilliant 83 off 63 balls, but the bowling of
Dale Vaughan (2/10) was vital for the visitors in keeping the total within reach. It was a horrible start for the visitors, with Morteza Ali and Rumesh Rangana back in the sheds early, but the Lions recovered through the class of Jonty Jenner (40 off 24 balls) who helped change the game in his own aggressive style. Joe Thomas (49 not out) helped finish it off despite some late wickets from the Maroons, with the Lions winning by four wickets and with nine balls to spare. And in the final game, Berwick eased past Parkfield. The Bears bowled superbly to roll the visitors for 69, with young spinner Isaiah Jassal (3/6) once again prominent, while the experience of Jarrod Goodes (3/11) was on show. The home side had a little hiccup in the chase, but ultimately got the job done six wickets down. The semi-finals are locked in for 11 February, with the final four - also the top-four in the Turf 1 competition - set to battle it out. Thursday, 30 January, 2020

Berwick skipper Matt Chasemore struck a brilliant 91. 203559 Picture: GARY SISSONS
Round of upsets in DDCA By Nick Creely DDCA TURF 1 REVIEW - ROUND 11 It was a round of upsets in the Dandenong District's Turf 1 grade on Saturday, with both St Mary's and North Dandenong stunning likely finalists in a fascinating weekend of cricket. Emotions were high down at Alex Nelson Reserve with Springvale South celebrating club and association legend Craig Slocombe's 300th occasion, but the Saints lifted to another level to stun the Bloods. Batting first, the home side were rolled for 144, with Ryan Quirk (49) the only Blood to find some form with the blade, while with the ball, Ashan Anthony (3/31) picked up vital wickets through the middle to be a menace. The Bloods got off to a strong start in its defence of 144, with seamer Tim Ford (2/20) picking up where he left off last week with two early scalps, but slowly but surely the visitors found its groove, and pushed hard for the win. Skipper Rob Peat (42) lead the charge as the Saints pushed home, with the visitors finding the runs with one over and four wickets to spare. The loss - the club's first since the opening round of the season - however, does not move the Bloods from top spot. Park Oval, like it usually does, saw plenty of runs in a top-four blockbuster between Buckley Ridges and Berwick, but the Bears - off the back of two seasoned champions - inflicted the reigning champs with its second consecutive loss. The Bears were merciless with the bat after being sent in by Bucks skipper David White, racking up an incredible 5/290 off its 40 overs, with Matt Chasemore (91) anchoring the innings superbly like he usually does. With Chasemore set, fellow champ Nathan Pilon - coming out of retirement for the match after an injury to gun keeper Jordan Cleland blasted one of the more incredible knocks seen for years, whacking 10 sixes on his way to 93 not out off 31 deliveries, plundering 26 runs from the final over alone. But with a scary batting outfit, the Bucks were well placed to run the total down. However, a devastating new ball spell from seamer Brendan Rose (4/19) tore the Bucks' top-order apart, with skipper David White falling early and the home side falling to 3/4. 22 STAR NEWS

Despite a 41-ball 81 from Bucks champ Daniel 'DJ' Watson, the Bucks fells short, bowled out for 223 in the 34th over, with Cory Bevan (4/56) also outstanding. The win from the visitors keeps them in touch with top-spot, continuing an outstanding run of form from Chasemore's side after Christmas. Down at Reedy Reserve, a whirlwind century from Chandima Abeykoon guided Heinz Southern Districts to a thrilling win against Hallam Kalora Park. The Cobras were in deep trouble after winning the toss and batting, sitting 5/29 when Abeykoon came together with skipper Kaushayla Weeraratne. The pair knocked up a 136-run stand in which Weeraratne (48) fell just shy of a halfcentury, but Abeykoon continued on his merry way, belting four sixes on his way to 101, before being run-out in the closing stages of the innings. Abeykoon's splendid century lifted the home side to a competitive 7/197, with Chris Pereira (4/32) the pick of the bowlers for the Hawks. The Hawks looked to be cruising with Leigh Booth (43) and Ryan Hillard (32) notching up 71 for the first wicket, but the home side worked its way back through a steady stream of wickets to leave the visitors 5/128. Despite the Hawks' desperate attempt to wrestle back control, the Cobras held the home side to 9/171, with Udara Hettige (5/23) absolutely stellar with the ball once again. And in the final game of the round, North Dandenong pulled off one of the upsets of the season against fourth-placed Narre South. The previously winless Maroons have had a tough time of it this season and sit bottom of the Turf 1 table, but gave its supporters and players something to smile about with an outstanding team effort. The Lions lacked its usual fluency with the bat to be rolled out for 171, with seamer Nimesh Kariyawasam (3/36) once again prominent with the ball. The Maroons lost an early wicket in the chase, but it mattered little, with skipper Austin Heldt (53) and the talented Clay McCartney (72 off 48 balls) inflicting the Lions to another tough loss, one that leaves them vulnerable inside the top-four with only a handful of rounds left to play.
