‘Mini-city’ plan for factory By Benjamin Millar A $2 billion “mini-city” is expected to rise on the site of the former Bradmill denim factory in Yarraville after it was sold to a developer for more than $160 million. Tommy Jiang, who owns Chinese language newspapers and radio stations in Melbourne, reportedly bought the 24-hectare site, now known as Yarraville Garden, from former Carlton Football Club vice-president Colin De Lutis. Mr De Lutis paid $7 million to take over the ailing Bradmill business when it went into

receivership in 2002 and later paid $16 million for two neighbouring blocks. The area was rezoned from industrial to residential and mixed-use in 2011. The rezoning will facilitate 1500 new dwellings in a mix of townhouses and apartment blocks of up to six storeys. Bounded by Francis Street, McIvor Reserve and the Newport freight railway line, the area was marketed as having “significant scope” for increased density, subject to approval. Maribyrnong mayor Nam Quach says that while it is a positive that development will get

moving on the site, new ownership shouldn’t lead to a push for higher density. “It’s not uncommon when new ownership comes on board for them to look at ways to maximise their investment,” he said. “You can have new ownership and they may have new ideas, but I don’t want to see greater densification.” Mr Jiang, who acquired the site through his Fortune Property Group, told Fairfax Media he wanted to contribute a landmark in Melbourne’s west. “I’m a local Chinese and I’ve been living 27

years in Australia,” he said. “We’ll need to talk to the government for their idea for the western suburbs planning. We also want to bring in some new ideas, to create more benefit for local people.” Mr De Lutis was last year granted planning approval for a $20 million development on the Francis Street edge of the site that will include a new library, medical centre, restaurant, service station, two supermarkets and 30 shops. Yarraville residents have questioned the ability of the area’s roads, public transport and schools to cope with thousands of extra people.

Cops, repairers move on meters By Benjamin Millar Police and the Maribyrnong council are stepping up security around Yarraville’s new parking meters after they were vandalised within hours of being installed. Seventeen meters were installed last week at a cost of about $120,000. But vandals attacked the screens and coin and credit card slots on about a dozen of the machines with building adhesive, rendering them inoperable.

The attack lit up social media. Numerous posts criticised the cost of the vandalism to ratepayers, while others supported the damage as welcome defiance of an unpopular decision. A number of references to using glue to jam parking meters were made just before the attack on the ‘Yarraville Village says No to Paid Parking’ page on Facebook. But page convenor Megan Darling condemned the vandalism, which is reported to have cost the council about $40,000. Maribyrnong mayor Nam Quach said the

council would not be deterred by the attack on the meters. “Vandalism is not condonable, irrespective of how people feel about the issue,” he said. “I don’t think it’s productive to any debate to go around vandalising. It’s disappointing.” Cr Quach said the council would repair the machines as often as need be, as it would with any other public property. Council chief executive Stephen Wall said the damage had been reported to Victoria Police and routine security patrols would be stepped

up in Yarraville in the wake of the attacks. Council parking officers are also conducting regular patrols in the area. Metered parking in Yarraville costs $1.80 an hour from 8am-6pm from Tuesday to Saturday, which council predicts will raise more than $200,000 a year. The meters were introduced despite a 3-3 split between voting councillors. The council believes the meters will increase parking turnover despite fears they will damage local businesses.

Teacher drums up business Master drummer and dancer Fred Kpakpo Addo will teach classes in Laverton when he returns from Ghana next month. Mr Kpakpo Addo, a drummer for 22 years, says music has always been a part of his life. “I grew up in a huge family full of music and I got interested in this by playing,” he said. “I got to a point that I took it as my profession. “After high school, a band – Kuson Ensemble, based in Ghana – hired me to join them.

“I taught with Kuson Ensemble in the US – 22 states in six months.” From there, he taught in Tel Aviv, Israel, for six months before a stint in Sweden. Mr Kpakpo Addo settled in Australia a year ago. His One Spirit African drumming classes offer people the chance to join a weekly drumming circle, with dance sessions afterwards.

For each serving Australian who risked everything, a fami mily did the same.

Drums can be hired on the night and the sessions are open to all ages and abilities. Monday classes start October 26, with drumming from 6.30-7.30pm, followed by an hour of dance. The cost is $20 per class (or $30 for both); $10 for 15-18-year-olds; and free for children under 15. Drum hire is $5. Bookings are preferred by calling 0408 245 494.

Williamstown residents have applauded Hobsons Bay council’s rejection of a 39-dwelling, three-storey apartment block they said would create a “future slum”. Probus Built applied for a permit to demolish two houses to build its apartment block and a basement carpark at 25-27 Champion Road, Williamstown North. The developer estimated the average price per dwelling at about $525,000, with the overall development expected to house as many as 98 people. Objector Trevor Smith said the developer had presented no engineering study for building a massive basement with no bedrock. “We could end up with a sink hole, as in Glen Waverley, which would be a disaster,” he said. “Neighbours all over Melbourne are selling together to developers and this infill will continue,” Mr Smith said. “Williamstown is her own worst enemy, as she’s very attractive and ripe for exploitation.” Cr Paul Morgan said the design, scale and bulk of the proposed development were inappropriate. “We have high standards, and this application fell well short of the quality architecture that would be expected.” Cr Angela Altair said it was important to strike a balance between the density of new development and respecting neighbourhood character. Hansen Partnership, acting for the developer, has 60 days to lodge an appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. It did not respond to Star Weekly before going to press.

‘Hobbling’ fear from rates cap

DIANA RICE WITH JACK

Tale of Jack in the box By Goya Dmytryshchak Every night, Seaholme’s Diana Rice pops Jack in a box to muffle his sounds for the neighbours. And now she is fighting to keep her feathered friend as Hobsons Bay council moves to outlaw roosters under its review of local laws. Ms Rice addressed councillors last week and told them Jack, a silver-spangled Hamburg, was put in a box in a shed every evening and was let out again at 7.30 next morning.

The council received 18 complaints about crowing roosters last year. But Ms Rice said this represented one complaint for every 1700 households and none were about Jack. “How does this compare to the number of complaints about issues such as barking dogs, building sites, loud music on Saturday nights?” she asked at the council meeting. “Complaints about roosters should be substantiated by a log as is required for barking dogs. Both the complainant and owner of the rooster should be given the

opportunity to provide evidence to council officers about the timing and frequency of crowing. “When a complaint about rooster crowing has been substantiated there should be an opportunity for the owner to remediate the situation rather than an ultimatum that the rooster must go.” Ms Rice said many people liked the sound of a rooster crowing. The council was expected to vote on the new local laws this month.

Hobsons Bay council has criticised the state government for moving to cap rate rises, saying the political move is popular with ‘punters’ but largely misunderstood. The council last week lodged its response to the Essential Services Commission review of the cap, which the government intends to introduce next July. Mayor Colleen Gates said it was too early to tell where budget cuts would be made as a result of the change. “Councils do a lot more than just collect the rubbish, and a lot of the vital services we provide go to the vulnerable in our community,” she said. “The state government wants to cap council rates yet has increased the fire levy by 7.2 per cent. Councils collect the fire levy on behalf of the state government. Councils don’t receive any of this levy; our only additional revenue is from taxes on property.” Cr Angela Altair told last week’s council meeting a rates cap would further hamstring the independent operation of local councils. “It’s a popular one, the punters love it, but they need to drill down and see how it will hobble us when we come to do our budgets,” she said. “We are an independent government; we are the third tier of government. We should be able to maintain our autonomy.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Pair jailed over child sex offences By Goya Dmytryshchak A 46-year-old Altona woman has been sentenced to a minimum of two years’ jail for sexually assaulting a three-year-old girl, and making and transmitting child pornography. The woman, who can only be referred to in the media by the pseudonym Marlyn Moses, was sentenced to four years’ jail, with a non-parole period of two years. The County Court on Friday heard that Moses abused the child and then sent photos of the act to her then boyfriend, who can

only be referred to by the pseudonym Dylan Haroldson. Moses had been a close friend of the child’s mother. Haroldson, 28, of Maddingley, was sentenced to five years’ jail with a minimum of three years. He was already a convicted sex offender. His charges included child pornography, committing an indecent act in the presence of a child and inciting another to commit an offence. Moses met Haroldson in November 2013,

and the two began an intense relationship, agreeing nothing was off limits, the court heard. It heard that Haroldson shared with Moses his “perverted sexual fantasies”, and the couple shared 450 pages of chat blogs. When Haroldson ended the relationship four months later, Moses tried to reignite it by talking in sexual terms about little girls, including the three-year-old girl. In July 2014, the child’s parents went away for the weekend and left Moses to babysit. The court heard Haroldson was aroused by

the potential and later filmed the child naked with Moses. On September 11, 2014, Haroldson attended Bacchus Marsh police station to report as a sex offender. Police found more than 2000 pictures on his phone, and further analysis uncovered the Kik messaging account he used to contact Moses, which then led to the arrest of the pair. Moses and Haroldson have been placed on the sex offender register for life. Sexual Assault Crisis Line: 1800 806 292

Lock up or lose it blitz puts drivers on notice Footscray police have urged people to stop car thefts and break-ins by simply locking their vehicles. More than 1000 thefts from vehicles were recorded in Maribyrnong last year, making it the area’s largest single category of crime. Police were also kept busy trying to recover more than 400 stolen cars. Inspector Adrian Healy says a police blitz this month will target the problem of leaving cars unlocked in the hope it will reduce police time and resources spent dealing with the problem. “We’re imploring people to remove valuables from their cars and ensure their doors are locked,” he said. “A lot of the time people are leaving cars without locking them.”

Inspector Healy said this left cars open to thieves to take everything from phones, laptops and GPS devices, to wallets and purses. The latter thefts led to credit card fraud as thieves made the most of their finds. “It’s a commonsense approach removing valuables and taking them with you.” Inspector Healy said police would boost street patrols in a bid to cut the theft rate. Motorists can also visit police stations to obtain one-way number plate screws, making plate theft much more difficult. Benjamin Millar Constable Thomas Briggs checks a car door is locked.

Council wants freeway ramp Hobsons Bay council is urging the state government to fund a study into the feasibility of building a west-bound ramp from Grieve Parade onto the Westgate Freeway. Mayor Colleen Gates says the council hopes such a ramp will reduce the number of freight trucks using local roads during freeway-widening works associated with Transurban’s $5.5 billion Western Distributor proposal. “There are opportunities during the freeway-widening process to construct a direct ramp, which would service the industrial precincts of the inner west, removing trucks from local roads and increasing transport and logistics productivity,” Cr Gates said. The council has requested a meeting with Treasurer Tim Pallas and Roads Minister Luke Donnellan to obtain more detailed information about the distributor road. Transurban is waiting for the green light from the state government to build a toll road to link Westgate Freeway with the CBD and port, via twin tunnels beneath Yarraville and a bridge across the Maribyrnong River. The toll road operator has been test drilling at 13 locations across Yarraville, Seddon, Kingsville and Spotswood. The drilling will gather more data about ground conditions

and soil quality to help determine the route and depth of tunnels underneath Yarraville. “We recognise this is a significant project for the state of Victoria, but there are many local issues to consider, such as the potential loss of amenity due to the proposed freeway widening, increased noise levels and the potential loss of vegetation,” Cr Gates said.

“The proposed widening of the West Gate Freeway over Kororoit Creek will definitely have an impact on the lower section of the creek, so planning and construction of the Western Distributor and the Kororoit Creek Trail should be undertaken simultaneously.” Transurban spokeswoman Bridget Brady said the company was also reviewing feedback from more than 500 responses to an online survey and in direct talks with more than 600 people. “Should government determine the proposal will move to stage four of the process, further community consultation sessions will be held in the inner west,” Ms Brady said. The government decision on the distributor road is due by December.

The Spring Racing-themed event, at the Melbourne Arts Centre on September 17, is hosted by the Millinery Association of Australia and will see milliners from across Australia unveil their spring collections. Ms Carswell said she started making hats in her Newport home nine years ago after completing a TAFE course. “I started making hats for myself to go to country races,” she said. “I didn’t like the stock-standard ones that were all the same;

I wanted something a little bit different. So, mum would make me a dress and I’d make a hat; either get a second-hand one or get bits and pieces from Spotlight and put it together myself.” She described her hats as timeless modern classics that could be worn over and over. The inaugural MAArvelous Milliner’s Design Competition will be held at the cocktail night, awarding one milliner for workmanship, design and aesthetics.

Cheers, baby’s best pal

Thumbs up for twin towers

By Benjamin Millar Footscray’s Tweddle Child & Family Health Service is inviting people to join its 95th anniversary celebrations. Opening as a baby hospital in 1920, Tweddle today supports more than 4000 families facing parenting challenges, which are often compounded by health issues, addiction, violence or sleep deprivation. Betty Hassold, who joined Tweddle as chief executive in 1988, spent 15 years at the helm. She guided its transition from a baby hospital and training facility for mothercraft nurses into a service providing programs that help parents learn the skills to care for their babies. “The biggest transition was the change from focusing on children alone. It was all very well for the staff to fix the kids up, but the parents need to be there for the rest of their life. So we started admitting parents as well,” she said. “People coming from England and America would say how lucky we were; they had nothing like this.” Tweddle began offering education programs enabling people to discuss their situations while remaining in control. Ms Hassold said Tweddle was one of the first places to acknowledge that settling babies and getting sleep was such a widespread problem. She added that modern parenting had thrown up a range of new challenges, which the service strives to help families tackle. “Having a new baby, it is such a wonderfully happy time, but it doesn’t always go as you expect. “As mothers are older and having babies later, their expectations of babies are higher and they’re discovering it’s not rational; it’s all emotional,” she said.

Melbourne property tycoon Tim Gurner has been given the green light for two 25-storey apartment towers in Footscray. Planning Minister Richard Wynne has granted approval for the twin towers at 1 Warde Street, containing 302 one and two-bedroom apartments. Maribyrnong council had criticised the $45 million development – marketed as Romeo and Juliet – for a range of issues relating to height, land use, overshadowing, internal amenity and car parking. But a spokeswoman for Mr Wynne said an amended proposal helped address these concerns. “The minister approved 1 Warde Street because its height and density were well suited to the growing Footscray area, would provide additional housing options for residents and had a real focus on activating the streetscape for the local community,” she said. “Footscray’s location near the CBD means it will continue to grow. The Andrews government is committed to ensuring this growth is sustainable and creates a liveable, healthy and vibrant community.” Maribyrnong mayor Nam Quach said although the development was technically consistent with the preferred heights recommended in the Activity Centre Zone, it remained “ambitious”. “I’d prefer something that wasn’t maxing out the height ceiling,” he said.

Council dads favour childcare aid By Goya Dmytryshchak Male councillors are more likely to claim childcare expenses than their female counterparts, Hobsons Bay council has heard. The council recently revised its family care policy to enable councillors to claim childcare expenses at current market rates rather than the set rate used until now.

Cr Angela Altair said the family care policy was introduced in 2004 to support newly elected female councillors and help women with young families have equal access to civic roles. But Cr Paul Morgan said the policy was now being used more by male than female councillors. In the past year, Cr Jason Price has been the only councillor to claim childcare costs.

‘‘

It’s … more likely the male councillors will use - Paul Morgan childcare

’’

He claimed expenses to care for his child during more than 40 meetings over the past year, totalling about $9600. Cr Morgan has a 17-month-old daughter

with another baby due in October. He said the policy would enable him to take part in all council meetings and briefings each week. “I think it’s just important to maybe set the record a little bit straight here … it’s probably more likely the male councillors will use the childcare service than the female councillors,” Cr Morgan said. “Having a young family … is quite challenging.”

World’s a stage for kids “And now, we’re bringing the outside in, as we take over and transform the local kinder into a network of sculptures and creativity hives.” The pupils have created a maze‐like artwork in the grounds of Frances Sullivan Kindergarten, which is near the school. The kinder kids and their bigger buddies will celebrate their theatrical collaboration at the end of the school week. Families will gather at the kinder for a barbecue at 6pm, Friday, followed by a performance within the sculptural installation the youngsters have designed and built. “All the work has been made by the kids and they have been in control of every stage of the creative process,” Ms Kantor said.

Brooklyn primary school children will show another side of their suburb when they reveal their Outside In project on Friday. Brooklyn is one of Australia’s most polluted suburbs, known for dust and odours from its industrial estates. But Annunciation Catholic Primary School pupils, through an extended artists-in-schools residency project, worked with children’s ‘experential’ theatre company Polyglot Theatre to bring their locale back into daily life. Polyglot Theatre director Kate Kantor said the project took the children out of their classrooms to explore beyond the back fences of their outside world. “With kids spending more and more time in front of screens, they miss out on playing outside, which is key to their educational, emotional and social development,” Ms Kantor said. “Over the past few months, we’ve visited Newport Lakes and Altona beach, giving the kids a chance to explore and enjoy these beautiful and fun outside spaces.

Counselling in demand Young people in Hobsons Bay are facing a seven-week wait for counselling as figures show they are more likely to experience mental health issues than youth anywhere else in the west. In July, 29 young people were able to be seen by the council’s Youth Counselling Service, which is the only free counselling service in the area for that age bracket. More than a quarter presented with mental health issues including depression, anxiety, eating disorders and psychosis. Five per cent had attempted suicide or self-harmed, while three per cent had been sexually abused. Eleven per cent had been bullied, including cyber-bullied, and 11 per cent were dealing with grief and loss. Mayor Colleen Gates said up to 13 per cent of residents had sought professional help for mental health issues, according to the council’s latest figures. This is higher than the average rate for Victoria or the north-western metropolitan region. Cr Gates said a recent survey of secondary students found 20 per cent reported high levels of psychological distress. “Recent funding cuts to programs such as Youth Connections directly impacted on efforts to prevent the onset of mental health issues in those already vulnerable,” she said. “Young people, in particular, experience significant barriers in accessing services outside the municipality … including extensive waiting lists, affordability, eligibility criteria and transport issues. “A trip to the nearest Headspace in Sunshine can take up to an hour and a half by public transport.”

Inshallah ready to run An Altona North man and his team will take to the track for next month’s Relay for Life at Etihad Stadium after his grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. Oussama Abou-Zeid says his team, Inshallah, has raised $13,000 so far, ranking it No.2 in Australia for the most money collected for the Cancer Council. Mr Abou-Zeid said his grandmother, Fattoum Kaddour, was diagnosed with brain cancer during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. She underwent an operation to try to remove a tumor and last week started radiotherapy. “It’s very, very hard because this is the first time someone this close has been affected by cancer,” Mr Abou-Zeid said. “Inshallah means

God willing, so God willing there’s going to be a cure for cancer,” he said. “As a team, we are mostly family, but have a mix of friends participating who have been touched by cancer. “Some of us relay for our cancer survivors, some for a current Hodgkin’s lymphoma sufferer and the rest for my grandmother who has glioblastoma multiforme. [She is] the mother of seven siblings who are relaying and the drive behind the team formation.” The Inshallah team will do the eight-hour relay while Ms Kaddour will do the survivors and carers lap.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds a new eatery … and he’s impressed Oh, dear – there go our lunch plans. We’re dropping off some garments for alteration at Highpoint. I know there are places to get this work done that aren’t at Highpoint, but I’ll be darned if I can recall where they are. So here we are. The waiting time is an hour and the idea of leaving and then returning to the shopping centre has no appeal at all. So we better make the most of Highpoint time, as best we’re able. Socks top-up from Harris Scarfe. Routine eye furniture maintenance and screw-tightening at Specsavers. Lunch. We’re faced with the same choices as ever; some we even like, but none appeal much today. So we try one of the newer places, Schnitz, which is on the lower level and not far from the cinemas. It may specialise in schnitzels and parmas, but the vibe is all cheerful franchise fast-food, and the lineup of wraps, rolls and plates fits right in with that. Bennie goes for the No.4 – American Dream – in roll form with a schnitzel and regular crumbs ($11.50), with the combo deal ($5.50) adding a small chips and a small fizzy drink. Even while I’m still photographing my own meal, he’s enthusing: “The chips are really good, Dad!” He reckons his filled roll is good, with a tasty chunk of nicely cooked chook, but he’d have

SCHNITZ, HIGHPOINT Address: Highpoint Shopping Centre Phone: 9318 6791 preferred the roll to be better toasted. I get the same chips with my schnitzel and coleslaw ($14.50 all up). I disagree, very much so, on the chips front. Look, I can handle some chicken salt. But not this much! This is chicken salt overkill and renders my chips inedible. My plain and modestly proportioned schnitzel is rather good, with lovely crumbs and surprisingly tasty and juicy meat. The coleslaw is fantastic, especially for a fast-food joint in a shopping centre. Context is everything, I guess. It’s a finely chopped winner, fresh and not dressed to the point of gloopiness. There are worse places to tuck in at Highpoint; but there are better ones, too. Our vote for the best remains with Dumplings Plus and Guzman y Gomez.

LET THEM EAT CAKE As Abby Dinham is the featured guest in this week’s column, I was keen to showcase another one of her special talents.

Abby Dinham

Those who know Abby are captivated by her cake-making abilities (myself included) and always look forward to what she’ll create next to put big smiles on the faces of family and friends.

SBS JOURNALIST

The cakes pictured here – which include Olaf the snowman from the movie Frozen – are just two of her amazing creations.

FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? AD: I would say reliable. I can usually deliver something that everyone will enjoy. FB: What is your signature dish? AD: Chicken pie. It’s a staple on the menu every week. Always ends with clean plates and happy kids. FB: If you could have only one more meal, what would it be? AD A seafood smorgasbord! I love all types of seafood and could literally eat prawns any time of the day.

As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@ howdypartnersmedia.com.au

FB: What is your favourite food TV show and who’s your favourite TV food person? AD: I loved MasterChef MasterChef. No one was allowed to speak to me when it was on. I love the passion of Marco Pierre White. I know he’s not a chef, but I’d love to sit down and have a beer with Matt Preston. FB: What is your favourite food? AD: I love seafood, but if I had to narrow that down I’d say Moreton Bay bugs … or scallops … or prawns. Don’t make me choose! FB: What is your favourite drink? AD: A good strong ginger beer is awesome. Or a pinot noir if I’m feeling fancy. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? AD: Leonardo Da Vinci, Roger Federer, Sylvester Stallone, Jane Austen and Jesus (get His thoughts on Australia’s asylum policies).

“Laughter is brightest in the place where the food is” – Irish proverb

FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? AD: Baking paper! I have no time for dishes, everything gets a layer of baking paper in my house, so cleaning is quick and easy.

Live in as is or renovate, this well-maintained oldie-but-goodie has three good-sized bedrooms on a block of about 533 square metres. There’s great potential for development or extension (subject to council approval) at your leisure. The main bathroom has a pink tub “of the era”, as is the patterned carpet in the large lounge room, which also has an ornate plaster ceiling, venetian blinds and a gas heater set into a brick fireplace. Next door to a laundry with enclosed toilet, the kitchen-diner rocks the ‘70s in decor, right down to the electric upright cooker. A Colorbond pergola above concrete looks out to a backyard with a garden shed, lawn and a lemon tree. Close to schools, shops and transport, the property also has a garage and extra off-street parking.

This freestanding residence on a large block is immaculately presented and, with a combination of bamboo floorboards, white walls, black window frames and soft-grey accents, is a winner in terms of decor. Three large bedrooms upstairs (two with built-in wardrobes) include the main, which has access to a balcony, a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with dual vanity basins. The main bathroom also has twin basins. The spacious, light-filled, tri-zone living area links with a timber deck (open to the sun), with adjoining synthetic lawn. The smart kitchen has Caesarstone benchtops and ample storage in white. Central heating, refrigerated cooling and a garage with internal access are other features. It’s next door to Rosshire Road Reserve, a minute from Newport Gardens Primary School and around the corner from Bayside College.

Cute as a button kerbside, this Victorian dwelling is all on-trend contemporary beyond its lace-trimmed verandah and picket fence. Of particular note is the huge living zone (with wood heater) at the rear, where wide-format oak floorboards anchor the space, under a limed-timber cathedral ceiling with white-painted exposed joists, and clerestory windows admit streams of light. The crisp, all-white kitchen has stone benchtops, Miele dishwasher and Ilve 800mm appliances. Three large bedrooms are along the central hallway, as are two swish bathrooms, one set up with a European laundry. Bifolds from the living hub open to a timber deck, beyond which are pretty garden beds and a sweep of lawn. Within a walk of the waterfront, train station and shops, the house also has a split-system, and there’s a double garage accessed from Bultcher Terrace at the rear.

SPORT Porters bid to carry off successive titles “It’s going to be about who gets their strategies right and turns up to play on the day.” Footscray reached the final with a come-from-behind 5-4 win over Caulfield on Saturday, Sarah Mollison and Stephanie Kelly each scoring twice. The Dogs will have their work cut out against a slick Porters outfit, featuring leading goalscorer Rachel Kirchheimer, leading points scorer Hayley Sofarnos and former top US college player Marlee Paton. But Sofarnos is adamant individual brilliance alone won’t win the match. “We have to work together as a group,” she said. Lance Jenkinson

Gulls in form for finals By Lance Jenkinson There is no team inside the VFL top four that Williamstown hasn’t conquered this season. The Seagulls added to their collection of big-game scalps with a 14-point win over minor premier Box Hill Hawks on the road at Box Hill City Oval on Sunday. It was a timely pick-me-up for the Seagulls, who had lost two of their previous three matches. Seagulls football manager Chris Dixon said the confidence boost was welcome. “We really needed a good showing … obviously we were really disappointed after the last game against Werribee,” he said. “Although the result doesn’t mean too much in the scheme of things, it was important for us heading into finals.” It’s a rare occurrence when Box Hill loses on their home turf. Only once had they been beaten on City Oval this season. Impressively, the Gulls did it without injured stars Adam Marcon, Peter Faulks, Brad Mangan and Jack Charleston. That shows the depth of the roster and will undoubtedly provide selection dilemmas for Seagulls coach Andy Collins and his panel ahead of Sunday’s qualifying final against Sandringham Zebras at Trevor Barker Beach Oval. The Seagulls’ errant kicking for goal, converting from just 11 of 27 scoring shots, kept Box Hill in the game. Leading by five points at three-quarter-time, the Seagulls created separation in the last quarter with their weight of possession and time in the forward half reaping dividends. “We would’ve liked to have had the game wrapped up a bit earlier,” Dixon said. “They’re a good side Box Hill – even later on in the game they were always a threat.” Mitch Banner was a ball magnet for the Seagulls in the midfield with a remarkable 42 possessions. Dominant forward Sam Dunell booted four goals but was also one of the main culprits with the goalkicking yips, registering just as many behinds. Captain Ben Jolley produced the workmanlike performance fans have come to expect from the veteran midfielder. Taylor Hine made the most of his second outing for the season in the senior side. Hine played 23 matches at AFL level with Gold Coast Suns and North Melbourne but has not been afforded the opportunity to impress the Seagulls too often this season. “He’s had a couple of little hiccups along the way and hasn’t really been able to get any continuity with his footy,” Dixon said. “We were really pleased with the way he was able to come in today and really have an impact.” Williamstown will face Sandringham for the right to advance to the preliminary finals.

■ The Werribee Football Club had a tough week with the passing of its president John Nicol. While the club grieved it also celebrated the announcement of its 50 Greats for 50 Years. John would have loved the night, with the greats of the past half-century expressing their passion for the club and their desire for future success. All the 1993 premiership players want to see another flag at Avalon Airport Oval so they can share their experiences with a new group. There has always been a similar feeling among survivors of the Bulldogs’ only VFL-AFL premiership side of 1954. I vividly remember Charlie Sutton almost pleading with the players every year, in the final years of his life, to add to the trophy cabinet. The likes of Frank Lesiputty preach a similar theme to the Werribee faithful. The sooner a premiership cup comes to Werribee the better. The Tigers will take on Collingwood this Saturday at North Port Oval from 12.10pm. Tigers coach John Lamont said at the start of the season his goal was to make the finals then win one and see what happened after that. Strap yourself in for whatever takes place. Williamstown will travel to Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Sunday to take on Sandringham in the qualifying final, while its development league team will play Box Hill on Saturday at Box Hill from 11am. At VFL level, finals stretch club resources to the max. In some ways it’s almost good if the reserves side doesn’t make it at the expense of the seniors. While that is not what every club desires, it certainly takes the pressure off staff and volunteers. At the end of the day every player and official wants to be involved in finals and if you still are – enjoy it. ■ Yarraville Club Cricket Club will hold its season’s launch on September 18 at the former Pentridge Prison D Division. Guest speaker will be Charlie Bezzina, former head of the Victoria Police homicide squad. It’s good to see cricket clubs being proactive with these kinds of social events. ■ I’m loving the Bulldogs’ season more and more, and hoping for a win against the Lions this weekend to end the regular season. Regardless of what happens after this weekend, I have been thrilled by what I’ve seen and can’t wait for the next few weeks and whatever they might bring.

Dixon admits the Seagulls predicted a match-up with the Zebras a few weeks back. “Both teams have been eyeing each other off from a distance, even from about three weeks out,” he said. “You do all of the maths and predictors and see how it might shape up. I’m sure they’ve got a fair idea about how we play

and how we like to go about it. We’ve tracked them over the last few weeks, as well. “It’s going to be a great game of footy – they’ve won 11 of their last 12 and I think they’ve won seven in a row, so they’re the form team of the competition over the last half of the season … it’s going to be a great test for us.”

Newport is over playing the waiting game and is ready to rip into the Lacrosse Victoria women’s state league grand final. The Porters have their sights on back-to-back premierships and a fifth title in six years. But they will first have to find a way past Footscray in the season decider at Malvern Lacrosse Club on Saturday. It will be a repeat of last year’s grand final thriller, won by the Porters by a single goal. The sides met two weeks ago in the first week of the finals and that was also a one-goal margin to the Porters. Porters coach Sue Sofarnos knows it’s going to be one hell of a struggle for both clubs. “We’ll have to be at our best,” she told Star Weekly.

Bulldogs aim at the top By Lance Jenkinson The yo-yo stops now for Yarraville-Footscray. The Bulldogs are hellbent on making their mark in the Bowls Victoria premier division from 2015-16, and beyond. Over the past three summers, the Dogs have won two division 1 premierships, and were relegated from the top-flight in between. To put an end to the chopping and changing of divisions, the Bulldogs have recruited with the intention of sustaining their presence in Melbourne’s top bowls league. “We need to stay there now,” Bulldogs’ coach Wayne Roberts told Star Weekly. “We had that grounding in premier division for 12 months, two years ago, and they realise what it’s about now. “They’re not going to go in blind … they know what it’s all about, and they’ve got to take the next step.” Yarraville-Footscray launched the new season at its Francis Street home on Saturday, unfurling the division 1 flag, and rolling down a ceremonial first bowl of the season. It was effectively the launch of a new era for the Bulldogs. Last time it was in premier division, the club decided to reward the players who put it there, largely neglecting to recruit, instead giving those 16 players a shot at top-line bowls for the season. Inevitably, the Bulldogs were relegated, but now they have experience to draw on. Roberts wasted no time recruiting for this season. The club has 17 new faces, with at least four considered a chance for the round one line-up, including Chris Ball, from Kew

Maribyrnong Swifts had an outrageous 9-0 win over Castlemaine Goldfields in the women’s state league 3 west at Johnson Reserve on Sunday. Seven different players got on the scoresheet for the Swifts, including two each to Matilda Myers and Belinda Huynh. Despite the huge win, the Swifts finished the season in seventh place. Yarraville Glory capped a great season with a 2-1 win over Lara to finish second.

“It’s going to be a two or three-year process, but we think we’re on the right track to have a reasonable side for the next few years.” More importantly, the Bulldogs have retained the whole squad that took out the division 1 flag last season. “Everyone that was part of the flag last year is still there. “We haven’t lost anybody; we’ve picked up a few, and it not only makes our top side stronger, it makes the other sides stronger. “We’ve got two teams in division 2 this year, and we need one to jump up to division 1,” Roberts said. “It’s all positive.” The new season begins in October.

The Bulldogs moved through to the season decider with a 14-8 win over Malvern in the preliminary final at Mont Albert Reserve on Saturday. Peter Kwas was outstanding with six goals for the Dogs.

Heights, Nathan Murray of Richmond Union, Jamie Banks of Torquay and Dan Stewart of Grovedale. “They’ve all been there, done that [in premier division], and they’re young,” Roberts said. “They’re all under 25, so we’re slowly getting a younger side and, hopefully, we can keep them together.

On fast track to gold

Junior Mabia is this month’s Don Deeble Rising Star nominee. (Shawn Smits)

Junior Mabia has all the makings of a champion athlete. At age 15, he has speed, strength, agility and power beyond his years. And it hasn’t taken long for this pedigree to transform into personal best times, gold medals and records. Mabia’s sport of choice is athletics, and he does his best work in sprint events. The Sunshine resident won the 100 and 200 metre titles at the Australian Little Athletics championships last year and was one of the boys’ four-by-100 metres relay team which won bronze. He also won gold three times at the state relay championships, and was selected for the Australian junior titles earlier this year. However, for Liberian-born Mabia, results on the track come second to the opportunities competing in sport have provided for him. On his arrival in Australia aged 10, he spoke limited English. Now, he’s fluent in the language and a role model for his community.

“The great thing about running is that it makes people start talking about you,” Mabia said. “It makes a name for you everywhere. It makes people proud of me, and people love to watch me run.” Having earned a scholarship to specialised sports school Maribyrnong College, Mabia trained alongside fellow speedster and classmate Cody Rodwell. The boys struck up a friendship, with Mabia joining Rodwell’s Little Athletics club at Sunbury. With limited access to transport, it was difficult for Mabia to get to training. But so impressive is his work ethic, attitude and natural ability that other people quickly stepped up and helped him. Cody’s parents, Jeanetta and Steve, have made the trip from Clarkefield to Sunshine to pick up Mabia and drop him off at Little Athletics every week since he joined.

The excitement building around Mabia is vibrating far and wide, with the outstanding young talent invited to a national training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport later this year. For his outstanding sporting achievements, Mabia is this month’s nominee for the Don Deeble Rising Star award. The award is run by the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club, in conjunction with Star Weekly. Mabia will receive $1000, donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club, and other prizes to help him reach his future sporting goals. The award recognises young athletes in the western suburbs who have achieved outstanding results at a state and national level.

Magic right in the title mix By Lance Jenkinson Altona Magic will be right in the thick of the action as the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 1 north-west title race comes to a thrilling climax this weekend. Magic is one of four teams with a chance of taking out the premiership with just 90 minutes of football to play. Two points separate the top four sides, with Western Suburbs and Sydenham Park equal on 42, Magic on 41 and Preston Lions on 40. Magic needs to take care of their own business and get a win on the road at North Sunshine Eagles on Sunday – no mean feat considering the Eagles were on top of the ladder for most of the season before encountering turbulence late in the season. Magic coach Vlado Tortevski knows his side’s title chances hinge on results at other grounds, but says his team is ready to pounce should the top two get stage fright. “We have to win and then wait for other results,” he told Star Weekly. “North Sunshine is always tough. Five games ago they were on top of the ladder and I don’t know what happened to them. “It’s going to be a hard game but I’m confident we can get another three points.” Magic simply refused to die this season. Just a month ago, they were a massive six points off the summit but have capitalised on the yips experienced by then-ladder leader Western Suburbs. Tortevski has lamented his side’s luck with injuries, late opposition winners and the odd refereeing decision, but lauded his players for getting on with the job. “We haven’t given up even with all of the distractions . . . the hard time we had with injuries,” he said. “I’m proud of the players for showing some character. “Maybe we need a little bit of that luck to come back to us. Finishing on top would be a really great year for Altona.” Magic gave themselves a chance in the final round after a 3-0 win over Keilor Park at the Paisley Park Soccer Complex on Saturday evening. They had all three points under wraps after three goals in the opening 35 minutes. Jason Hayne scored twice for Magic but had to go off in the second half because of a hamstring injury. Hayne is considered doubtful for Saturday’s trip to North Sunshine. “Definitely the best player on the ground,” Tortevski said. “He scored two goals and then, unfortunately, injured his hamstring after the second goal. “I didn’t want to risk him. “If he can play last game, that’s going to be good for us.”

Melbourne City and Maribyrnong Greens have it all to play for on the final day of the season. (Damjan Janevski)

FFV final day ... There are 90 heart-stopping minutes to go in the season. So, what is in store for your local club on the final day of the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league season? Star Weekly reporter Lance Jenkinson tries to decipher what a win, draw or loss could mean SL1NW Altona Magic Magic (41 points, +19 goal difference) will be champions if they beat North Sunshine Eagles and both Western Suburbs (42, +17) and Sydenham Park (42, +14) achieve a result no better than a draw; or if Magic draw with the Eagles and Western Suburbs and Sydenham Park both lose, along with fourth placed Preston Lions (40, +11) failing to gain a result no better than a draw. Altona East Phoenix Can finish as high as sixth, the spot on the ladder they currently occupy, or as low as eighth, depending on their result against Westgate at home on Saturday and other results. SL2NW Yarraville Glory Glory (44, +27) can be crowned champions if they beat top side Banyule City (45, +24)

and second-placed Moreland United (45, +23) does not achieve a result better than a draw. If Moreland United lose, Glory will be promoted with a draw. SL3NW Altona City City (41, +28) will finish second and be promoted if they pick up all three points at home to Lalor United. Whittlesea United (41, +12) is the only side who can overtake City but can do that only with a better result than City in the final round. Williamstown Cannot move from fourth spot, irrespective of their result at home against North City Wolves on Saturday. SL4W Melbourne City City (38, +21) will be champions if they beat Keilor Wolves and if top side Brimbank Stallions (41, +24) lose by a significant

enough margin to Truganina Hornets for them to make up the goal difference. If City can’t chase down Brimbank, they need to achieve no worse than the same result as Maribyrnong Greens (38, +9) and Bell Park (37, +13) to get a promotion playoff berth. Maribyrnong Greens The Greens can earn a promotion playoff if they beat Altona North, and Melbourne City lose to Keilor Wolves. Altona North North can finish as high as sixth and as low as ninth depending on the outcome of their clash with Maribyrnong Greens at home on Saturday and the results of the teams around them on the ladder. Laverton Park Already relegated to state league 5, irrespective of the outcome of their home game against Surf Coast.

One of the great eras of any team in the history of the Western Region Football League division 1 has come to an end. Spotswood will not play in the grand final for the first time since 2006. But the Woodsmen should be saluted for their ability to hold on to their status as one of the greatest teams to grace the football fields of the west. They played in eight consecutive grand finals, winning four and losing four. Their stranglehold over the competition had slowly been slipping on the back of three consecutive grand final losses. And last week the Woodsmen were ousted from the premiership race in a 32-point semi-final loss to Hoppers Crossing at JK Grant Reserve on Sunday. They were served a dose of their own medicine. The week prior, it was the Woodsmen who came out with all guns blazing in an

elimination final win over Altona, but they could not replicate the effort against a stronger Warriors outfit. The game was almost out of Spotswood’s reach by quarter-time as they trailed 34-0. The deficit had stretched to 40 by half-time and 54 by three-quarter-time.

Roosters sweat on star By Lance Jenkinson West Footscray is putting on its best poker face over the status of star forward Munir El Houli for Sunday’s WRFL division 2 grand final bout with Wyndhamvale at Avalon Airport Oval. El Houli, the competition’s leading goalkicker with 72 goals, has missed the opening two games of the finals with a mystery ailment described by Roosters coach David Orchard as “a bit more to general soreness than first thought”. So will he or won’t he take to the field for the season decider? Orchard was not about to let the cat out of the bag. “We’re sort of hoping things go to plan and he’s ready,” he told Star Weekly. “We’re just working through it.” West Footscray found a way to win without El Houli on Saturday, running out 25-point winners over North Footscray in the preliminary final at Hogans Road Reserve. The Roosters had no trouble hitting the scoreboard, registering 29 scoring shots to 19, although El Houli’s accuracy might have come in handy. Trailing by nine points at half-time, the Roosters booted 6.10 in a scintillating third quarter to blow the game wide open. Big third quarters have been a trend for the Roosters this season. “If you have a look at the first half of games throughout the year, we did the same things,” Orchard said. “Round 1 versus Caroline Springs, we were down by five points at half-time and kicked 23.17 in the second half. “We did the same thing we did to Manor Lakes. Up to half-time we were thereabouts and came out and kicked 22 after half-time. We’re a side who can score heavily very quickly.” The Roosters’ experienced players came to the fore after half-time, Jamie Zerafa, Steve McAnulty, Michael Kennedy and Ziad Kadour lifting the side when it counted. “There’s some experience right there,” Orchard said. “They’re proven performers in big games, they’ve all got level heads and they stand up when we need them to.” Jadyn Trowdale continued his stellar year in the midfield and has been the standout finals player for the Roosters so far. “The young fella gets belted from pillar to post every week and just bounces back up and keeps trudging through,” Orchard said. “Pound for pound he’d have to be the strongest bloke in the comp. If you had 22 of those blokes, you wouldn’t lose a game.” Mustafa Mesto booted three goals for the Roosters, while Damien Yze, Rhys Bucktin and Tobi Bray kicked two each. For North Footscray, Max Rampling and Andrew Cunningham kept their side in the game with three goals apiece.

The Woodsmen, losing grand finalists of the past two seasons, never gave up and piled on five goals to one in the last term, but it was a margin too big even for this mighty outfit. Lachlan Fairley was superb for Spotswood with five goals on a day when his team could manage only seven all up. Nathan Dumbleton and Murray Boyd had big games for the Woodsmen to no avail. The top-flight premiership race is down to three, with Deer Park awaiting the winner of the preliminary final between Hoppers Crossing and Werribee Districts at Avalon Airport Oval on Saturday. In division 3, the grand final will be played between Parkside and Albanvale at Wootten Road Reserve on Saturday. Albanvale, the minor premiers, advanced to the big one with a 72-point win over the Wyndham Suns in the prelim final on Sunday. Lance Jenkinson

AFL approves player points system Community football is in for a shake-up, with AFL Victoria giving the go-ahead for a statewide player points system and introduction of salary caps. The changes will take place over two years, with the points system set for next season and salary caps to be introduced in 2017. Under the new regulations, every player will be awarded between one and six points, based on his playing history. The total number of allotted points each team is allowed to personalise onfield will be up to the discretion of individual leagues. The competition’s governing body, AFL Victoria, has been trialling both systems with community football leagues throughout the 2015 season. AFL Victoria’s community football and engagement manager, Brett Connell, said feedback from metropolitan and country football indicated strong support for an immediate points system as a means of levelling out playing standards. “Feedback overwhelmingly supported a system that addresses equalisation concerns in community football and tackles escalating player payments,” Connell said. “The working party will now look to finalise the policy with a view to releasing it in September to allow clubs time to determine an appropriate recruiting strategy. “In response to wide-ranging feedback from clubs and leagues, there will be some minor changes to the draft policy tested during 2015, but it will fundamentally remain based on categorising players by their playing history and achievements.” AFL Victoria has already released initial guidelines on what a statewide player points system would look like. Any player who has played at least one match at AFL level in the previous three seasons will command the maximum six points. AFL Victoria will continue to work with leagues to develop the salary cap. “Any policy will be accompanied by an extensive education program outlining the roles and responsibilities of clubs and leagues and include enforcement provisions,” Connell said. “The working party has submitted an application to the AFL in relation to altering the national player transfer regulations to allow the registering of players to occur prior to Christmas.”
