The “poor cousin” of inner-west real estate has soared past the million dollar median mark to be crowned Maribyrnong’s most expensive suburb. A 17 per cent surge in the March quarter pushed Kingsville’s median price to $1.085 million, cracking the $1 million median mark for the first time. Real Estate Institute of Victoria figures for the March quarter show Kingsville has become Maribyrnong’s highest priced suburb, eclipsing former leaders Seddon ($1.03 million) and Yarraville ($1 million). Kingsville’s median price has now almost doubled in the five years since 2012, climbing more than $100,000 a year on average from $577,000. Village Real Estate director Huss Saad said the red-hot property market in the suburb dubbed “the golden triangle” came as little surprise. “Kingsville has always been considered a poor cousin to Yarraville and Seddon, but that’s all changed,” he said. “It’s got more period homes in its streets than any other suburb and less bastardisation with ’60s and ’70s homes.” Mr Saad recently sold a three-bedroom home at 28 Chirnside Street for $1.367 million and expects strong results to continue. He said the suburb had “a really good community vibe”, with a lot of professional couples and young families moving into the area, as well as downsizers. “People have just finally realised it’s such a great suburb,” he said. The REIV data shows the inner-west is now home to five suburbs with million-dollar medians as strong growth also continued in Williamstown (up 4.8 per cent to $1.34 million) and Newport (up 6.7 per cent to $1.1 million). The figures show 120 Melbourne suburbs now have a median house price of $1 million or higher, up from just 30 in 2012. Median prices across the March quarter remained steady in Maribyrnong ($989,000), Footscray ($888,000) and West Footscray ($887,500), dropping 8.3 per cent in Maidstone to $770,000. Spotswood’s median slid 11.8 per cent to $910,000 and Altona was down 6.1 per cent to $845,000, but Laverton’s median rose by 10.8 per cent to $508,500 and Altona North climbed 4.9 per cent to $807,500. Altona Meadows moved up 6.0 per cent to $585,000.

West Gate Tunnel Project Council has made its submission to the West Gate Tunnel Project’s Environment Effects Statement (EES) to be presented to the project’s panel. Council’s submission contains concerns about the negative impacts of the project on Hobsons Bay, such as a significant increase in truck traffic on our city’s streets, an increase in localised air pollution and greater levels of noise. Council’s submission highlights the need for the State Government to take a more holistic and integrated approach to the entire region looking at all transport options. Council has resolved to continue advocating for truck bans on parts of Millers Road and a number of other roads surrounding the freeway corridor. Submissions to the project’s EES have now closed. An independent Inquiry and Advisory Committee (IAC) has been appointed to consider the

Town Hall forecourt The heritage fountain in the forecourt of the Williamstown Town Hall has been taken off site for conservation and restoration. It will be returned once forecourt works are complete. The carpark is progressing well and will be completed by the end of July. Works will then proceed on the rehabilitation of Lenore Crescent. During the Lenore Crescent rehabilitation works, the Town Hall carpark will be closed to the general public and used as overflow for Lenore Crescent residents who will be unable to park in the street while the works are occurring.

Buyer sought for troubled Sims By Benjamin Millar A long-running independent Footscray supermarket is up for sale after being placed into administration. Grocery and hardware giant Metcash last Thursday called in administrators to manage the sale of the Sims IGA Plus Liquor stores in Footscray and Werribee. Metcash spokeswoman Samantha Maslen confirmed insolvency firm Rodgers Reidy had been appointed to handle the matter. Rodgers Reidy directors Shane Cremin and

Gary Fettes, who have taken administration of the two stores, have moved to assure staff and customers it will be business as usual for the time being. While shortages in some stock lines have been reported, Mr Cremin told Star Weekly that staff had been continuing to restock shelves and that the stores would maintain operations as a buyer was sought. “We are reviewing the business and conducting a marketing and sale campaign for the business as a going concern,” he said. “This is only day two, so our investigations

‘‘

This is only day two … but we are keeping the - Shane Cremin doors open

’’

are continuing, but we are keeping the doors open. “If we can achieve a sale and look after jobs and suppliers it will be a good result.” Mr Cremin said the business did not own the freehold for the two stores, but the administrators would be “dealing with the

landlords” as part of the process. Staff have been briefed on the situation. The Sims supermarkets, previously known as Self Service Wholesalers, have remained under Sims family ownership for decades. Star Weekly understands the stores have recently experienced financial difficulties and that suppliers have cancelled orders and initiated legal proceedings over unpaid invoices. Marketing for the sale of the leasehold business indicates an annual turnover of about $16 million and yearly rental costs of $550,000.

Temporality temporarily on show Williamstown painter Paul McVeigh and Bells Beach wood carver Tony “Digger” Gilson are displaying their artwork in a joint exhibition at Altona’s Joel Gallery. Titled Temporality, the exhibition is the brainchild of McVeigh, who has exhibited throughout Australia since 1984 and whose work has been acquired by private collectors and Victoria University. His mate, Digger, is displaying artwork made from the root systems of trees, and bush walking sticks.

“Nine times out of 10, I see an animal in the root system itself and then we go about making a sculpture out of the creature that I see,” Digger said. “I’ve got quite a bit of wood around the place – most people think it’s firewood but I actually see things in it. It’s a bit like how people see things in clouds. “I’ve made bunyip, which is a mythical Aboriginal creature. “They used to use it in the same way our parents use the bogeyman … you never walked

away from the fire or the bunyip would get you. I’ve also made teradactyles, black prawn. “There’s also something I call Giants from the Past, so it’s got a titanoboa, T-rex and the old turtle. “It’s funny, because you become very attached to them.” Temporality will be launched July 21 and runs until August 4 at the Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre, 5 Sargood Street, Altona.

A community advisory group has been named by Maribyrnong council to give greater input into decisions around the vexed issue of paid parking. The seven-member group was elected from a pool of self nominated candidates via an online vote – but even that had its hiccups when one candidate was initially left out of polling. Acting chief executive Celia Haddock said an online election gave community members easy access to information about the candidates and the draft Parking Management Policy. “Unfortunately, one candidate’s profile was not uploaded at the beginning of voting,” she said. “We have made numerous efforts to contact this candidate and offered to re-run the election for the relevant precinct. However, after looking at the voting pattern, we do not believe that the outcome … was compromised.” Star Weekly reported in April that Maribyrnong council had foregone more than $3.5 million in revenue since putting a freeze on paid parking in central Footscray and Yarraville in 2015. The advisory group will this month work on refining the council’s draft Parking Management Policy which is scheduled to go back before the council in August. The successful advisory group candidates were Megan Bridger-Darling (Footscray CBD), David Bird (Footscray Hospital), Linda Wood (Whitten Oval), Marilyn King (West Footscray), Jessica Elston (Braybrook), Joanne Canny (Seddon) and Trevor Junge (Yarraville).

Childcare deal done for RSL site By Goya Dmytryshchak

to build a memorial to the Williamstown RSL on the site. “We think it’s going to be a two-level childcare centre with a basement,” she said. The club, at the corner of Ferguson Street and Melbourne Road, closed on January 3 and was subsequently placed in voluntary administration. Victorian RSL chief operations officer Brian Cairns has said the sub-branch must repay

A childcare entrepreneur plans to build an early learning centre on the Williamstown RSL site, which was sold to recoup a $3.5 million debt. Explorers Early Learning owner and managing director Lynda Kelly said she wanted the local community to be involved in the design of the centre and that she planned

$1.77 million of its debt, owed by the trading arm, before it can re-establish. In February, Grocon withdrew a planning application lodged on behalf of RSL Victoria to replace the club with an apartment block after about 100 objections to Hobsons Bay council. Save Williamstown spokesman Godfrey Moase said relief in the community over the early learning centre plan was “palpable”. “Even though there is much sadness

and disappointment at the demise of the Williamstown sub-branch, the community is acutely aware the site could have been sold to a developer intent on constructing a high-rise, high-density residential building,” he said. Williamstown RSL president Rob Rowe said the sale of the club site for a children’s centre was “the best result we could have hoped for”. “Something that will give back to the community is very good indeed,” he said.

It’s an empty argument By Clay Lucas More than 10,000 shipping containers a day are whipped around Melbourne’s inner west on the back of trucks, inflicting damage on the community, according to a group representing the western suburbs. Almost half the containers are empty – bound for a dozen empty-container parks dotted around Yarraville, Brooklyn and West Footscray. In January, 92,000 containers were exported from Melbourne and 40 per cent of them were empty. Craig Rowley, of lobby group LeadWest, describes the situation as “ridiculous”. About 2.7 million containers passed through the Port of Melbourne last year – up from 1.9 million a decade ago. Most of the containers are owned by the shipping lines. The container parks have grown outside the Port of Melbourne because land next to it has become expensive. About 70 per cent of the empty containers are stored away from the port. Empty containers are used to “top up” departing ships and are usually the last items to be loaded. The state’s main exports, such as agricultural produce, leave in sturdy 20-foot containers, but imports – usually much lighter – are accommodated in 40-foot containers. This results in empty 40-foot containers being returned to the countries that make our clothes, white goods, TVs and flat-pack kitchens. Because moving empty containers provides slim profit margins, the trucks used are often old or the cheapest available. The drivers transporting the empty containers are among the worst paid in the trucking industry, earning $25 to $50 per container delivered. Peter Anderson, chief executive of freight

group the Victorian Transport Association, says these carriers “are in a hurry because they get paid by container, so they go fast”. LeadWest wants a long-promised rail shuttle from the port built to help get empty containers off the roads. Roads Minister Luke Donnellan says the government is evaluating a range of options for inland facilities such as a western interstate

freight terminal in Truganina, and this year will release a new freight strategy that has considered these investigations. Neil Chambers, of Container Transport Alliance Australia, says rail can’t provide the immediacy shipping lines need so trucks will continue to dominate. – The Age

Motocross bid goes to plan B Wyndham council will search for a new operator to run the Lawrie Emmins Reserve motocross track being overhauled in Laverton North. Motorcycling Victoria signed an agreement with the council in 2015 to operate and manage the track once the work is completed. But a council meeting last week heard that the motorcyling body had withdrawn from its commitment to operate the venue because it no longer had the financial capacity to do so. Councillors Kim McAliney and Intaj Khan said that although the decision was “disappointing” they believed a third-party operator could be found. A community reference group will be established to work with the council, during the re-opening of the track and its first 24 months of operation. During that time, the council will invite expressions of interest from third-party operators to manage and operate the track. A council report stated that direct management of the track by the council was not considered a viable option. The report stated the council would most likely enter into a five-year lease agreement with the future operator of the motocross track. The council has spent $780,000 to redevelop the track, which was opened in the 1970s, but was closed in 2010. Construction of the track is due to be completed within the next 12 months.

Protester hits the roof A Newport resident has placed a mannequin on his roof in protest at “greedy” developers. Vincent Cocca and numerous others are objecting to plans to demolish a single storey house for a three-storey, 11-dwelling apartment block at 96 Wilkins Street. Glossop Town Planning, which lodged the plans with Hobsons Bay council, also applied to provide less parking than required under the planning scheme. Mr Cocca said the mannequin was intended to represent people “living on top of” him. “I’m just going to show what it’s like to have another person living on your roof,” he said. “It’s about saving Newport, this is ridiculous. “I’m going to lose all my sunshine. “I don’t mind somebody developing, I don’t mind the area moving forward, but this is a multiplex.” Mr Cocca said the street was already congested with parked cars. “They’ve got 11 dwellings and they are basically saying that they want parking for only 10, which is crap,” he said. “In the plans, they’re saying that they are hoping they’re going to rely on street parking, which is ridiculous. “All the parking’s taken.” Glossop’s planning documentation stated: “It is often the case that on-street carparking is more convenient and accessible for visitors rather than having to navigate into a basement carpark. It stated: “The existing dwelling does not contribute to the significance of the heritage precinct and its demolition is appropriate. “Its replacement with a high quality built form makes efficient use of the land whilst carefully responding to its sensitive interfaces.”

Cameras catch bike theft Hobsons Bay detectives have released an image of a “well-dressed” woman they want to speak with after a unique bike was stolen from Newport. The custom 1970s Ricardo men’s single speed was stolen from a Wills Street garage about 10.30am on July 2. A security camera picked up a woman walking into the garage and riding off on the bike. Police have released an image of a woman (above) that they believe may be able to help with their inquiries. The bike’s owner, Rob Mancini, said he felt violated. “It sort of hits you in the guts,” he said. “When we saw the person [on CCTV], it was a well-dressed woman and it was not my image of the sort of person it would be. That threw me.” Mr Mancini said the custom-made bike had been a labour of love. “I do these projects because I love bikes and the way they look from a design point of view, so I do them with passion and love,” he said. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Goya Dmytryshchak

Tunnel traffic fears accelerate By Goya Dmytryshchak Residents already alarmed by the prospect of increased traffic from the West Gate Tunnel had their fears heightened when plans for a new suburb in Altona North were advertised last week. The former Don Smallgoods site, known as Precinct 15, is to be developed by a number of landowners into 3000 dwellings for about 7000 people. The 67-hectare site, fronting Blackshaws Road and bounded by Kyle Road, New Street and the West Gate Freeway, is about half the size of Melbourne’s CBD.

Developments such as these will further increase pressure on north-south – Jess Marnich traffic flows

’’

Hobsons Bay council anticipates 82 per cent of the precinct’s future residents will drive vehicles. Ming Wong, a member of the Don’t Destroy Millers Road group, said residents were concerned about traffic and wanted a train station incorporated in to the development. “Upgrade to the existing freight rail right next to the subject site to include a passenger line must be negotiated in to the project,” she said. Spotswood South Kingsville Residents Group member Jess Marnich said drivers were already sitting in traffic for longer and longer periods trying to get onto Melbourne and Millers roads.

“Developments such as these will further increase pressure on north-south traffic flows,” she said. “A new train station would help with movement assuming that performance and frequency of trains improves.” Hobsons Bay mayor Sandra Wilson said council anticipated a significant increase in

traffic from the tunnel and Precinct 15 and supported calls for a new train station. “Our report … includes suggestions for the Victorian government to be visionary and include an extension of the proposed connection from Fisherman’s Bend to Newport to provide a service to Precinct 15,” she said.

Acting Roads Minister John Eren said comprehensive traffic modelling for the West Gate Tunnel project took into consideration the proposed development at Precinct 15. “The modelling shows no significant change in traffic numbers on Blackshaws and

Millers Road near the Precinct 15 site due to the project,” he said. Acting Public Transport Minister Jaala Pulford said there were no current plans to introduce a new train station for Precinct 15, but a future bus network would connect residents with Spotswood and Newport stations.

Maribyrnong council has called for more public transport spending and the use of rail to move freight in a submission on the West Gate Tunnel Project. Responding to the tollway project’s Environmental Effects Statement, the council also highlighted “the detrimental” impacts of the project in the Footscray Wharf area, calling for the state government’s help towards a $12.5 million revitalisation of the Maribyrnong River’s west bank. The submission pointed out the project will create up to $500,000 of planning work the council will have to undertake on the use of land affected by the new tunnel and elevated freeway. The council welcomed the plan to extend truck curfews on key Yarraville and Footscray roads but highlighted the need for a new road connection to the West Gate Freeway via the Paramount Road corridor in Tottenham so trucks can abide by the bans. A submission by Gellibrand MP Tim Watts backed the project overall, but noted community concerns about the impact of potential increases in truck volumes in Hobsons Bay. “I have also been made aware of community sentiment for the Victorian government to consider acquiring residential properties on Hyde Street Yarraville that will be affected by increased volumes of trucks that are unable to use the tunnel.” Benjamin Millar

Have your say on domestic animals The Hobsons Bay community is invited to have their say on Council’s Domestic Animal Management Plan and help shape animal services in the city. Council must update is Domestic Animal Management Plan every four years. This Plan promotes responsible pet ownership and protects the community from issues associated with nuisance cats and dogs.

We need you to help us develop the Plan by filling out an online survey. It is important that the community identifies issues for particular attention, such as dog off lead areas, dogs on beaches, cats on private property and restricted dog breeds to ensure our animal management services focus on the issues that the community considers to be most important.

The survey is available at participate.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au The survey closes on Friday 21 July at midnight.

Bay pest in MPs’ sights The Hobsons Bay YMCA Youth Parliament team is calling for a bounty to reduce northern Pacific seastar numbers in Port Phillip Bay. The marine pest, first sighted in the bay in 1995, has been blamed for a sharp decline in bottom-dwelling fish. The team of six, comprising Sam Leeder, Jackson Young, Robert Milich, Charlotte Morrison, Alex Bowden and Yasmin Poole last week introduced the Northern Pacific Seastar Regulation Bill 2017. It calls for a bounty and the establishment of a management body to control the seastars. “Northern Pacific seastars are an invasive species that is located in Port Phillip waterways and has created large ecological damage to local flora and fauna,” the bill says. “We

propose a bounty on the northern Pacific seastars. With the correct training, members of the community can collect the seastars, deposit them at their local seastar collection centre and be paid. “This would reduce the overall population of northern Pacific seastars to alleviate ecological toll on Port Phillip waters.” The bill was passed and will now be considered by the relevant Victorian government minister. More than 25 bills originating in Youth Parliament have become legislation, including mandatory bike helmets, gun reforms, roadside drug testing and the over-the-counter morning after pill.

A man who stabbed a drug associate to death in Kealba over an “ice” deal gone wrong has been sentenced to 10 years and six months prison. Nuri Balla, 31, of Brooklyn must serve at least seven years and three months of his term after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of 28-year-old Aaron Burnett, of Hoppers Crossing, and an associated count of arson. In sentencing Balla last month, Supreme Court judge Terence Forrest said the sentence imposed “must reflect the community’s concern about young drug-fuelled men who use knives to settle differences”.

“The court has an obligation to try and deter this type of offending,” he said. The court earlier heard that Balla was “in the business” of selling methylamphetamine or “ice”. He sold a small quantity to Mr Burnett who was dissatisfied with the quality. In telephone calls and text messages between the two, Mr Burnett asked for a refund or a replacement of better quality ice. An arrangement had been made for the men to meet at the Caltex service station in Sunshine Avenue on July 3, 2016. The court heard Balla and Mr Burnett both anticipated trouble and called on others to go with them to the service station meeting as

back-up. At 4.25am, Mr Burnett arrived at the service station with two associates. They had two baseball bats in the car. Balla arrived soon after, also with an associate. The court heard that after a conversation in the truck parking area of the service station a fight broke out, during which Balla stabbed Mr Burnett “a number of times with a knife”. Shortly after the incident, Balla set fire to the car he had used that night. The court heard Balla had a troubled childhood and a criminal history dating back to 2005.

Fence flattened on Civic Parade A ute has crashed through the front fence of an Altona home, skidding to a stop just before the house itself. Police are investigating after a man driving a Toyota Hilux lost control in Civic Parade, near the T-intersection of Glenwood Avenue, about 9.30pm on Thursday. Investigators say the ute struck a parked car before continuing through a low brick fence. Skid marks in the grass stop just before a window. Two windows were broken. The driver, a 49-year-old man from Williamstown North, was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Those inside the house were not injured. Goya Dmytryshchak

MY PLACE When not helping women in business to shine, Danielle Price loves to snatch a moment’s peace on the banks of the Maribyrnong River. She talks with Benjamin Millar I started my business around three years ago and made the decision to base it in Footscray. I have strong family ties with the area as my family settled in Yarraville and built the family home there when they arrived from Italy in the 1950s. My dad didn’t speak English when he arrived, but was gifted a Bulldogs guernsey from a neighbour and a few years later sold footy records at the Yarraville footy ground.

Shine, a network for female business owners to be able to connect, to support each other and to provide them with the business education needed to take their business to the next level. I also opened Melbourne’s very first all-female co-working space here in Footscray. What do you like most about helping other women find their way in business?

I love the history and sense of community. We’re a Bulldogs family, so seeing the area come alive last September really was magical. I’ve been very proud to support the women’s team with my business She Will Shine as a foundation ambassador.

I love seeing women who have connected through She Will Shine celebrating each other’s wins as if they were their own. It’s such a special connection between these women and it has been built on a mutual understanding of what they are wanting to achieve, not just in business, but in life as well. My very simple motto is that if we help each other, we can all do well. And I get to see it in action every day.

Do you have a favourite local place or places to spend time?

What’s your first piece of advice to someone dipping their toe in the small business world?

While it doesn’t happen as often as I would like, when the sun is shining I do love walking along the Maribyrnong River. It’s so peaceful on the grass behind the Footscray Community Arts Centre, away from the hustle and bustle.

It would definitely be to go out and build a trusted support network. Creating a small business can be a tough and lonely journey, but if you have people to turn to that understand, it’s so much easier and far more enjoyable. Coming up in August is the Small Business Festival – there are loads of great events, especially those being run in the City of Maribyrnong, where you can meet these people.

What do you love most about the area?

How did She Will Shine come about? The idea came from a graphic design business I created and ran from home to have flexibility around my children. I experienced first-hand how, when women support each other, amazing things really do happen. It was through this experience that I created She Will

In a fantastic residential pocket, this property of historical significance offers a slice of gold-rush history and great family living in one. The house has three bedrooms, period detail throughout, good-sized living areas and a unique Victorian facade with triple-gabled pitch roofing thanks to two separate single-fronted cottages being transported to Yarraville from Ballarat and combined as one residence as the gold rush slowed. The kitchen has a commercial oven, a country-chic kitchen aesthetic, great light and good storage. A good-sized open study could easily be re-configured to create a fourth bedroom. The living room, swathed in period detail, leads to the kitchen/meals area and large chandelier-lit second living room where twin french doors open to a paved area and a deep garden that is truly picturesque.

The facade of this double-storey weatherboard in the heart of Newport has details that create real character – pitched roofing, sash windows and Edwardian-style features. Within, a quality renovation has created a liveable, stylish and spacious floorplan. On entry, features such as hardwood floorboards, period plasterwork and contemporary finishes create a good impression.

The double garage has a workshop area with extra storage. Set on 466 square metres, there’s also plenty of space for the kids.

Property of the week

WILLIAMSTOWN 17 Lenore Crescent, 3016 Compton Green Williamstown: 9397 1600 Lenore Crescent is filled with character and history. The crescent’s curves were developed to rectify a “dogleg”, creating what the Williamstown Advertiser described as a “serpentine effect” in the private development built on crown land from 1912. The house at 17 Lenore is an inter-war bungalow (the architecture from the period between Edwardian and post-war times). It has unmistakable charm and was renovated thoroughly before being purchased and further updated by the present owners.

Price: $1.8 million – $1.9 million

Auction: July 22 at 1pm

The interior spaces are contemporary, tasteful, refined and instantly relaxing thanks to quality fittings and the preserved and restored period details found throughout. Hardwood floors and hydronic heating in every room add to the welcoming atmosphere. The front living room on entry is picture-perfect-cosy. There is a dining space opposite followed by the high-end 2pac kitchen with quality appliances and soft-closing drawers. The main bedroom has built-in wardrobing plus a walk-in robe and en

suite, all sensitive to the period features of the house. Two further bedrooms are fitted, the main bathroom has a clawfoot bath shower. The second living room features a fireplace and views of the beautiful garden. Glass sliding doors open to an entertainer’s area, with a second under-cover space next to a bricked barbecue. Brick paving looks idyllic set against the green spaces. The sizeable period-style workshop faces the house. It has been partially restored with a concrete floor and power and could easily be upgraded to become another

bedroom or studio space. Off-street parking for four cars has been achieved within this tight pocket thanks to a small land acquisition that could easily be converted into a tandem garage to add further value. Ferguson Street and Douglas Parade shops and services are moments away, Williamstown Beach a little further in the other direction. In the heart of Williamstown, this is a beautiful property set on a street with a difference. Sam Freestone 19 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 12, 2017

SPORT Aggressive riding marks winter outing breakaway moves. Leigh Kelly spent an astounding two laps away in the challenging conditions and Glen Wright a half lap out front. On the attack front, again it was Kelly piling on the pressure by leaving a strung-out line struggling to keep pace. In the end, a race that was dominated by skirmish after skirmish came down to a bunch sprint, with 27-year-old Mansfield-Mt Buller Cycling Club rider Dan Purcell overtaking gun sprinter Mark Spiteri in the run to the line to pip Kelly. “It was quite windy and there wasn’t a great deal of co-operation in the bunch,” Purcell said. “I was sitting on the front on the run home and there was not much enthusiasm to take a turn, so it was a strange last lap.” Purcell was recently on the Tour of Wangaratta, where he came an impressive

sixth on general classification with a first and a second in two stages. The C-grade race was also aggressive, with Phillip Tehan and others leaving the bunch spent and thinned out. A reduced peloton contested the bunch sprint, with Geelong schoolteacher Paul Rettke taking the win from David Lane and Adam Fenton. The riders who started in D grade may have lacked experience, but their youth and enthusiasm saw them power through the three laps, with Tim Gough taking the sprint from Laurie Paltridge and Matt Niewenhuizen. In the women’s race, Margarita Williams took her second road race win on the Footscray tour. She took the sprint by a tiny margin from Diane Edwards and Joanna Ford. Mark Micallef

On track for finals berth By Lance Jenkinson Altona has discovered the attacking formation that can make it a significant player in the Hockey Victoria men’s premier league this season. The Seagulls are not only on track for a finals berth, but have a top-four finish in their sights, as they head into the second half of the season. “Our goal for the last few years has always been to finish top four and that hasn’t changed, even though it’s moved to a top-eight finals series,” Seagulls captain Steve Campbell said. “If you finish top four, you get the benefit of a home final and a break in there if you win. “We’re going into the second half very confident and super excited about it.” Altona’s big improvement has come through its scoring options. Set-piece specialist Andrew Scanlon is a top-five scorer in the league with 13 goals at better than a goal a game. The support cast of Patrick Phillips (eight goals), Jyah Johnson (five), Harrison Gill and Tyson Priddle (both four) make the Seagulls unpredictable. “Traditionally, we’ve been a good team defensively,” Campbell said. “Our young guys, who have put in the hard yards, are coming along quite nicely now and playing key roles up front for us and also in the midfield, which is what has allowed us to get a few more goals on the board and be a bit more attacking.” Scanlon has emerged as an elite scoring option in Victorian hockey. The quality drag flicker was recently selected in the Vikings squad for the Australian Hockey League. “He’s a key element to our make-up,” Campbell said. “You can always rely on him to flick one in at the crucial stages.” Goalkeeper Ben Hooppell will also be part of the Vikings squad. Hooppell, one of Altona’s country contingent, has thrived since arriving at Sugar Gum Drive. “A lot of our boys are actually from the country, so when they come down to Melbourne for university or work, we’re able to give them an environment which is really welcoming and they fit in nicely with us,” Campbell said. “Hoops was playing in Melbourne at another club previously and wasn’t getting the opportunities, so he made the move to us a couple of years ago. “To have a goalkeeper as good as he is and who is part of the Victorian senior squad is a real benefit to us.” Altona, fifth on the ladder with eight wins,

IN THE DOGHOUSE ■I

asked the question in last week’s column about the playing future of Adam Cooney and he answered it with me on SEN when I hosted last Friday afternoon. You won’t be seeing the former Brownlow medallist in the Woodsmens’ colours this year. He is too busy with his growing media commitments and, unlike his good mate Brian Lake, he can’t juggle them to fit in playing. Lake is able to scoot from his Fox Footy commitments to don the Caroline Springs jumper and help the Lakers forge their way in the WRFL division 1 competition. Spotswood would have been hoping Cooney would be a starter after the season-ending knee injuries to Elliot Wood and Lachlan Fairley.

■ Parkside

Football Club will celebrate its 120-year history this Saturday night at Moonee Valley Racing Club. The club was the inaugural winner of the FDFL senior premiership back in 1931 and has had 14 division one flags since, just one shy of Spotswood’s 15, but well ahead of fast-approaching Deer Park on eight. The success of the three clubs is the envy of clubs throughout the western suburbs. Make no mistake, Parkside is not liked by many outside its own four walls. Respected yes, but liked? No. Current coach Nick Condos has the players going nicely in division 3. But as we have seen in recent years, there are no guarantees, even when you have a big name like Jason Cloke in your line-up.

was great to see former champion VFL and WRFL star Michael Frost as an interested spectator at the Hoppers Crossing-Werribee Districts game last Saturday. The former Liston medallist, who lives in Newcastle these days, tells me his son is playing under-age footy in the local competition and he has been helping out with some coaching. Looking nearly as fit as in his playing days, “Jack” says he may be tempted to pull the boots back on to have a run with his son next year. I have no doubt the former Bulldog and Saints will make an impact there.

■ Australian Ninja Warrior has a local flavour with Hoppers Crossing Olympian Lauryn Mark a contestant in the early episodes. The former Olympic and Commonwealth Games shooter is a fitness fanatic. The show is a worldwide phenomenon and one of those bucket list challenges athletes savour. I can’t say it is my cup of tea as a spectacle, but it will be interesting to follow Lauryn’s progress.

two draws and two losses, will meet undefeated top side Camberwell in the first game after the mid-season break on Sunday at the Altona Hockey Ground. It will be the Seagulls toughest test between now and the finals. “They’ve been really successful over the last

four years and set the benchmark for the whole competition,” Campbell said. “It’s a really big game, if we can knock them off with a few games in hand, we’ll set ourselves for that top four. “They are talented, but we always seem to lift our standards against the top teams.”

Footscray Cycling Club’s winter road season arrived at the notoriously exposed and windy Kirks Bridge circuit near Little River on Saturday. Dominik Dudkiewicz out-smarted the field in A grade with the age-old tactic of using accelerations to thin down the bunch in the crosswinds. “We started with a bunch of 12, which was 10 by lap two, then an acceleration toward end of lap two by myself and Miles [DaCosta] left only Miles, Travis [Small], Dave [Newett] and myself,” Dudkiewicz said. “Another acceleration by me on lap three saw Dave dropped, and then along the top straight of lap four I attacked and Trav was dropped. “Finally, I attacked Miles at the top corner with 7.5 kilometres to go and got the win.” A topsy-turvy B grade race was dominated by incessant attacks and riders attempting

Melee stops play in Newport; Eagles lose top spot A second-quarter melee caused umpires to abandon the game between Newport Power and Yarraville-Seddon in the Western Region Football League division 2 at Bryan Martyn Oval on Saturday. It was the second heated confrontation for the day after umpires had to intervene in a scuffle during the first quarter. The umpires decided to call the game off for the safety of players and officials about 10 minutes into the second term. Yarraville-Seddon coach Dean Callaway said both he and Newport coach Hanni Harb wanted play to continue, but the final decision rested with the officials after they deemed the situation too volatile. “Hanni and myself went and spoke to the umpires to try and re-start the game, but they had their minds set and said, ‘No’,” Callaway

Yarraville-Seddon coach Dean Callaway. (Damian Visentini)

said. “They didn’t want the game to continue because they felt it was unsafe for the umpires after what happened with the melee when one of our players got thrown into an umpire.

“It wasn’t intentional, but the umpire thought it was. I’ll stick up for the Newport guy and say, ‘OK, you bumped our player, but then our player fell’; it was just unfortunate.” The WRFL will review the game during the week. Visitors Yarraville-Seddon were leading at the time, but Callaway is unsure whether points will be given to either club after the game failed to reach half-time. It could have major ramifications on Yarraville-Seddon’s quest for the minor premiership, but Callaway will leave it in the hands of league officials to determine the outcome. He said the incidents were not a good look for the league. “I think the league will deal with it during the week and I don’t know where it goes from

here,” Callaway said. “It’s not a good sight for western region football. “It gives the league a bad reputation.” It was a real momentum killer for Yarraville-Seddon, a week after beating then premiership favourites North Footscray. Pending the outcome of the game review, the Eagles immediately ceded top spot back to North Footscray, which had a 174-point win over West Footscray. Irrespective of the ladder positions, Callaway is adamant his team is back in the premiership hunt. “We take a lot out of that [win over North Footscray],” he said. “We now know we can beat them. “It’s not a one-horse race.” Lance Jenkinson

Straight kicking wins the day

Jets sizzle on big stage By Lance Jenkinson There was a lot of hype surrounding Western Jets prodigies Cameron Rayner and Lachlan Fogarty going into this football season. How could there not be some excitement after what the pair had achieved to that point in their junior careers – dominating school football, starring for the Western Jets in the TAC Cup, featuring in state squads and being chosen for the AFL academy? The glowing appraisals would count for little when it came to their AFL draft prospects if they did not impress on the big stage for Vic Metro in front of the recruiters at the under-18 national championships. Impress they did. Not only were they an integral part of Vic Metro’s title defence, they also received All Australian honours. Western Jets coach Torin Baker believes All Australian selections are fitting culminations for their junior careers. “They’ve had a lot of honours along the 44 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 12, 2017

way, but this really tops off their junior footy careers,” he said. Rayner, a product of the Hillside and Essendon Doutta Stars football clubs, was the talk of the press box for his incredible championships. Invariably, whenever his name popped up in conversations, someone would mention “Dusty”, in reference to Richmond star Dustin Martin. It’s unfair to a young player to liken their game to an AFL superstar, but the likeness in style is too much to ignore. Just like Dusty, Rayner, who plays midfield and forward, is a power runner, takes on opponents with his strength and dare and finishes neatly on the run. “He’s drawing comparisons to those sorts of players and it’s fair enough, because he’s now produced at a high level consistently,” Baker said. “Not only has he played a good championships, but his form when he played the academy games was very good. “He’s really strong, he’s really powerful – he just chances his arm at everything”

Fogarty overcame a tough preparation to have an impact in the midfield for Vic Metro. The former Spotswood junior was hampered by a groin injury and forced to miss the first game of the championships. Once back in the Big V, Fogarty delivered a high work rate, repeatedly getting to contests and extracting the ball for the outside runners. “He had a really interrupted few weeks leading up,” Baker said. “To come in and do what he did and play well in each of the games didn’t surprise me because that’s what happens with ‘Fogs’. “His greatest strength is his intensity around the ball, whether he’s winning it or putting on pressure – it’s what makes him the player that he is.” There were four Western Jets players selected in the triumphant Vic Metro squad. Forward-ruck Tristan Xerri featured in two games, while bottom-age player Buku Khamis will have to wait until next year for his debut. Xerri, a strong contested marking player, impressed in his limited games.

Spotswood got back on track with a 20-point win over local rivals Altona in the Western Region Football League division 1 at JK Grant Reserve on Saturday. The Woodsmen took full advantage of the Vikings’ errant kicking for goal, winning the game despite having five less scoring shots. The leadership of captain Murray Boyd and former player-coach Tom Langlands came to the fore for Spotswood. Langlands capped his game off with a team-high three goals, while Toby Kopa, Charles Bettiol and Dylan Callard contributed two each. Spotswood put a week of soul searching behind them after a heavy defeat to ladder leaders Deer Park and consolidated second spot on the ladder. The Woodsmen will host a dangerous Albion, who came close to upsetting Deer Park last start, at McLean Reserve on Saturday. For Altona, the loss was another blow to its finals hopes. It could be do or die for the Vikings when they travel to fifth-placed Werribee Districts this Saturday. In division 3, Laverton faces an uphill task avoiding the wooden spoon after losing to Sanctuary Lakes by 12 points at Laverton Park Reserve. Parkside maintained its grip over top spot with an assertive defensive performance in a 55-point win over Tarneit at Henry Turner Reserve. The Magpies restricted the Titans to a total of 17 points for the game. Jason Cloke kicked four goals. Braybrook was blown away after half-time in a 63-point loss to Sunshine Heights at Ainsworth Reserve. Brad Busuttil was impressive with four goals. Lance Jenkinson

Keeper keen for an Australian upset

Australia goalkeeper Bree Hussey is ready to be a thorn in the side of the world’s best attackers. (Damian Visentini)

It will be like putting your hand into a hornets nest, but Bree Hussey can’t wait. The Newport Ladies Lacrosse Club goalkeeper will feature in her first Women’s Lacrosse World Cup game for Australia against Canada tomorrow in England – and she is buzzing. “I’m very nervous and very excited,” Hussey said. “It’s my first world cup, so I don’t really know what to expect. “I just want to get into it.” Hussey is the in-form goalkeeper in Australia. The 23-year-old is at the peak of her powers after being named to the all-star team following Victoria’s triumph at the national championships recently. Being a significant part of a Big V team that made it five national titles in a row – Hussey has played in the past three – has given her confidence ahead of the world cup. “It made me feel good to be in a good team and still be recognised as playing well with the team,” she said. “It shows that I’m in good form and I feel like I’m ready to take on the world I guess.” Hussey’s main role is obviously shot stopping, but it’s not her only order of business.

As the goalkeeper, the Altona Meadows resident will need to keep a handle on the defence in front of her, so she has to have their trust and they have take on board her directions. While it will be Hussey’s first world cup game, she has been part of the Australian squad’s lead-up games, so there is already a strong bond with the players in front of her. “You’ve got to be a general down there,” Hussey said. “My natural job is to tell people what to do and when to do it – then just save the ball. “You’ve got to have the defence set up the way you like it.” Hussey’s offence is above average for a goalkeeper. Her long throws can turn defence to attack in the blink of an eye. She also likes to be daring in her play when it permits. “My asset is that I like to come out and attack the ball a bit when it’s close enough to my crease,” Hussey said. “I can clear it up into the attack line quickly.” Hussey has been a career goalkeeper. She does occasionally like a run out on the

field, but the area in front of the net is her territory. “I got a leg injury when I was 10 and wasn’t allowed to run, so I started playing in goals and they said ‘you’re pretty good, you might as well just stay in there’,” she said. “I went for a Victorian team in the under-15s and tried out as a goalie and got picked. “We ended up winning the national championship that year.” Of the nine Women’s Lacrosse World Cups, only two countries have won titles: United States and Australia. The US has won seven, while Australia has won two, with the most recent in 2005. Can the green and gold cause an upset at this year’s tournament? “I reckon we’ll give it a good crack,” Hussey said. “We’ve got the group, we’ve got the determination and we’ve really dedicated ourselves and pushed the extra bit. “We’ve been working towards this for two years now, so we don’t want all this to go to waste.” Lance Jenkinson

Reds steady the ship By Lance Jenkinson Laverton Park has taken full advantage of its game in hand, running away with a 3-0 win over Melbourne Lions on the road at Maribyrnong Reserve on Saturday to open up a three-point break at the top of the Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 5 west. The Reds had the bonus of a catch-up game up their sleeve, but it was only a valuable asset if they capitalised on it. “That was part of my message today, it’s all well and good to have a catch up game [over the other teams in the promotion race], but you’ve still got to go out and win it,” Reds coach Alfonso Opazo said. “All credit to the boys, they went out there and did the job, so it was good.” It was not a game without its concerns though for Laverton Park. The Reds were certainly not firing on all cylinders attacking wise in the first 45 minutes. Despite having the bulk of possession, the Reds did not seriously threaten to find the back

of the net until the dying stages of the first half and the sides went into half-time at nil-all. “We started flat in the first half,” Opazo said. “We had them pinned in their half, but it was just that spark that was missing.” It was a different Laverton Park that came out in the second half. The Reds were up in the faces of the Lions, forcing turnovers and being more progressive in their attacking play. The goals eventually came, two to winger Zia Sherzai and another to striker Juan Nilo, two players in the attacking corps that felt the wrath of Opazo’s anger at half-time. “I had a bit of a spray at the midfielders and forwards and they came out and scored three goals in the second half,” Opazo said. “I specifically requested more from Juan and Zia and they did step up, which was great. “Collectively, we came out and pressured them high up straight away, won the ball in their half and kicked on from there, and obviously took our opportunities.” The biggest lift for Laverton Park came in the midfield.

There was a bit of yin and yang about Matias Urzua, who provided the drive and energy, and Yanco Castro, who rolled up the sleeves to do the tough stuff. “Matias just runs all day, he’s so energetic, never stops, while Yanco is our general in the midfield, the player that does all the hard stuff to anchor the midfield,” Opazo said. Opazo was full of praise for the back four of co-captain Julian Zach, Andres De La Plaza, Shane Di Gioacchino and Fabian Lapolla. Opazo still believes the Reds best football is ahead of them. “We’ve dropped some points along the way, but with every season you’ll have your ups and downs, so I’m happy with where we are at this moment,” he said. In men’s state league 1, Altona East Phoenix picked up its second win in three matches, rolling Preston Lions 1-0 away at BT Connor Reserve in a catch-up game on Saturday. Liam Francis scored the winning goal in the 68th minute to give the Phoenix’s survival hopes a shot in the arm.

Williamstown has out-gunned Box Hill Hawks by 45 points in an all top-four clash in the Victorian Football League at Box Hill City Oval on Saturday. The Seagulls had to overcome a slow start to turn a 13-point quarter-time deficit into a runaway win. Michael Gibbons was at his best in the midfield, capping a best-on-ground performance with two goals, while Leigh Masters, Brett Bewley and Adam Marcon were the other influential Seagulls. There was no shortage of Seagulls lining up for goals, with 10 individual goalkickers, including three to Ayce Cordy and Lachlan Schultz and two each to Masters, Gibbons and Arryn Siposs. The third-placed Williamstown will face Collingwood at Victoria Park on Saturday at 1pm. Meanwhile, Footscray was in control for most of the game in a 49-point win over Sandringham at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Sunday. The Bulldogs got their percentage upped significantly in a six-goal-to-two final term. Forward Travis Cloke was back in the line-up and fired with three goals, while defender Bailey Williams staked his claim for a call-up to the Western Bulldogs with a best-on-ground display. Footscray sits in fourth spot on the ladder ahead of a trip to Geelong on Saturday night. Lance Jenkinson 45 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ JULY 12, 2017
