A positive reaction Caroline Chisholm Catholic College students were “walking on clouds” last week. The Braybrook college invited everyone at the school to walk through a living experiment that converted carbon dioxide from a solid to a gas as part of Science Week activities. College science head Marnie Bates said the students got a lot out of the experience. “The day was amazing, everything I hoped it would be,” she said. “We wanted to do something the whole school could experience and show chemistry in action, and the response from the school was fantastic. “Science and technology have been a big focus for the school all year, and getting the chance to really focus on that this week has been great for the kids.” Science Week is one of the major events as part of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) classes for all schools. Ms Bates said it was important for students to broaden their horizons. “It’s great that we can show students the opportunities open to them and get them to think broadly about careers in STEM areas,” she said.

“Everyone wants to be hero,” Coen said. “Become an organ donor and you can save up to nine lives. My donor, my hero.” Dawn said the kidney transplant would give her son quality of life. “Even when he’s at rest, his body is working so hard because of the poisons,” she said. “The toxins that are left running through his body in between dialysis sessions just affect him so badly. I think it’s going to be a totally different quality of life that he’s going to get and it’s going to make a huge difference to him.” To donate, visit gofundme.com/coen-ashton Follow Coen’s journey on Facebook or by Coen Ashton is awating a life-saving kidney visiting coenashton.com.au transplant.

Inspirational Newport man Coen Ashton says all he wants for Christmas is a kidney. Coen, who was born with cystic fibrosis and diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes at eight, became the youngest person to jet-ski the 2000-kilometre length of the Murray River at 13 to raise awareness of organ donation. His efforts, while awaiting a double lung transplant, resulted in about 1000 people signing up to the Australian organ donor register. Coen underwent a double lung transplant when he was 15.
He turned 20 on Friday, and is now awaiting a life-saving kidney transplant from either his mum Dawn or dad Mark. “I have got my eye on one of mum or dad’s kidneys,” Coen said, with his dry sense of humour that buoys the spirits of all around him. “Interestingly neither of them are the same blood group as me. Fortunately with kidneys there is a way they can still be compatible. “I want a kidney for Christmas.” A GoFundMe page has been set up to raise $10,000 towards medical expenses and to complete a documentary to raise awareness and inspire other young people doing it hard.

Sims IGA owes more than $10m By Benjamin Millar Sims IGA Plus Liquor stores in Footscray and Werribee were more than $10 million in debt by the time they was placed under administration after failing to pay rent and some suppliers for up to a year. Star Weekly last month revealed that grocery giant Metcash, which was owed more than $3 million, had called in administrators to manage the sale of the troubled businesses. Administrator Shane Cremin of Rodgers Reidy confirmed on Monday that they
have accepted offers to buy the stores. They are continuing to investigate how operators racked up combined liabilities of $10.4 million – $6 million for the Footscray store and $4.4 million for Werribee – including $1.6 million in unpaid superannuation and leave entitlements for staff. Secured creditors Metcash and ANZ are first in line to recoup $4.1 million from any sale. A further $860,000 is owed to the Australian Tax Office and almost $700,000 in unpaid rent and outgoings is owed to the landlord of the Footscray store.
Creditor meeting minutes show unpaid suppliers have also lodged claims in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, forming a substantial portion of the $4.7 million in unsecured claims. More than 160 staff left in limbo over recent weeks should soon discover whether they will be retained by the new owners, while creditors may face a longer wait to find out whether they will receive any money. Mr Cremin said an offer from separate buyers on each of the stores had been accepted but final details were still being ironed out.
“We will finalise the sales then distribute the sale proceeds, but there’s still a lot to work out.” Mr Cremin confirmed investigations are continuing into how the companies had fallen so deeply in debt when they were trading at approximately break-even. Creditors have been told that although it is not yet clear whether the companies had traded while insolvent, each had recorded a “deficiency of assets” in financial statements. Mr Cremin said further investigations were likely to form the basis of future legal proceedings.
Statue levelled in crash A driver made an escape after his car burst into flames as it crashed into a World War I memorial at Footscray Park on Friday. Emergency services were called to the crash on the corner of Geelong and Ballarat roads about 8am. Police spokesman Chris Metevelis said the car left the road and crashed into the statue before catching fire. The fire was extinguished soon after. Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman Rebecca Brewin said a man in his 50s suffered chest injuries in the crash and was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a stable condition. The six-metre high memorial, featuring a marble statue of Victory atop a granite pillar, was erected in 1922 in honour of Footscray men and women who served in World War I. It was paid for by public subscription and unveiled by then Governor General, Lord Forster.
The remains of the badly damaged memorial were taken to Maribyrnong council depot for assessment. A council spokeswoman said the assessment would help indicate whether or not the memorial would be repaired and reinstated. Steven Wilson from the Footscray Historical Society said the society would push for restoration of the memorial. Anyone who witnessed the crash is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.crimestoppersvic.com.au Benjamin Millar

Clubs push back on land deal By Goya Dmytryshshchak More than 1200 people have signed a petition calling on Hobsons Bay council to re-engage with Mobil to acquire land in Williamstown North for a multi-sports complex. Parents and children from five sporting codes – football, soccer, netball, basketball and tennis – attended last week’s council meeting. They dominated public question time, asking why the council had not tendered for the land in Maddox Road, to alleviate the municipality’s dire shortage of sporting facilities. Williamstown Juniors Football Club
president Michael Furlong said the community was telling the council: “Hey listen, we’re not happy with the fact you’re not negotiating and you’re not telling us why.” However, Mobil told Star Weekly it would not disrupt the tender process now. “Mobil respects Hobsons Bay City Council’s decision not to participate in the commercial tender,” said spokesman Travis Parnaby. “Mobil is progressing the sale of this land in accordance with a confidential, commercial tender process and we have not made, nor will we make, any offer that would be in conflict with this process.”
The council last week reissued its statement on Mobil, saying it had been unfeasible to proceed with a formal tender and that due to confidentiality provisions, further detail could not be revealed at this time. Responding to questions, mayor Sandra Wilson said the council would spend $61 million over 10 years on sports infrastructure. Clubs at the meeting told Star Weekly they had to train outside of Hobsons Bay and were turning away players. Williamstown Juniors Netball Club president Louise Allen said teams were being sent far and wide to try to find room to train.
“Some teams can’t train,” she said. “We have fit sometimes two teams on a court.” Williamstown Cannons Basketball Club president Anton Sucic said he was forced to give preference to Williamstown children. “We’d like to take the other kids but we haven’t even got enough [room] for the Williamstown kids,” he said. “We’re actually finding ourselves playing at Westgate [Basketball Stadium] at Whitten Oval. “The Altona stadium’s so full that you’ve got under 10s and under 12s playing at 8.30 at night – like bedtime.”
Putting the kind in kinder Altona Kindergarten celebrated its 60th anniversary on Saturday. The kinder, which caters for 60 four-year-old children, was the first purpose-built kindergarten in the Altona/Seaholme precinct. Teacher Sue Johnson first attended the kinder 59 years ago as a pupil. “I’ve had three generations of family here,” she said. “It’s just a happy place full of wildlife, like my backyard at home.” Kinder mum Jo McCall said the kinder was full of community spirit. “We’ve loved this kindergarten,” she said. “We’ve got trees that the children can climb, mud patches. “It’s so homely here. My kids have been so settled and loved every minute of it.” Kinder dad Paul Galea has a son who has graduated and a daughter who will attend next year.
“We moved into Altona just before Thomas was born and this was a great place for meeting people,” he said. “We made a lot of friendships. It’s a great community feel. “When we drop off the kids, you come in, you can stay around, help out a little bit.” Lisa Silver said the kinder was perfect for her son, who has developmental delays. “There is nowhere else he feels as comfortable as here, second to home,” she said. “The atmosphere is just wonderful, but they’re also very progressive on keeping up with research about personal development and allowing a child to feel comfortable [in] outdoor play, quiet time. “I think it’s a wonderful environment, especially for a child with challenges.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Dance’s primal instincts Rituals of the city that come alive after dark will be brought to the stage in a new dance work by Yarraville choreographer Melanie Lane. Sliding between exotic dance, techno, burlesque and pop, Nightdance will recreate the experience of an all-night journey through clubs that come into their own at night. “I think dance is something very primal in human nature, ritualistic,” she said. “When we were doing research excursions, looking at what’s happening in these social spaces, it was very complex.” Lane said each different space in the nightlife environment had its own rules of engagement, but there were also some common threads. “Dance offers freedom, a letting go and escape from the daytime routine, a space

Joining Lane for the production will be her partner, electronic music pioneer Chris Clark, and Seddon lighting designer Bosco Shaw. She said the sound and light elements of the show were particularly important for setting the mood and creating a suitable sense of space. “We have created a light installation for the work and the sound is also very important,” she said.

livelihood of refugees and new migrants in Melbourne, and now with the help of Highpoint, we can create more awareness of the Free to Feed program – what better way to do that than over delicious food.” Highpoint centre manager Ryan Ling said he hoped the event highlighted the importance and acceptance of diversity in the community.

Footscray artist Arjuna Watson at work. (Supplied)
Artist comes home Arjuna Watson has come a long way since his first artworks were sprayed across the walls and trains of Melbourne. An early brush with authorities and a stint studying life-drawing classes with artist Craig Foster paved the way for his own style of painting, one he calls “urban realism”. Since then, he’s spent two decades living in the Bahamas – and now the Footscray artist is back home and ready to share his work. He credits two decades of painting in the tropics with influencing his use of colour and showing him how to paint vibrantly. “I paint what I see, not what is there, but this doesn’t mean I’m an abstract artist,” he said. Watson said that while suburbs such as St Kilda and Prahran had lost their vibe while
he was living abroad, and Collingwood and Brunswick “had too many cool people” for him, Footscray was somewhere he immediately felt at home. “I heard so many different languages being spoken and loved how accepting of multiculturalism it is here in Footscray,” he said. Watson will be holding a pop-up exhibition this Saturday as part of the Due West Festival, showing several pieces of his recent work. Urban Realism: An Exhibition will be held from noon-4pm on Saturday at 34 Cowper Street, Footscray. Details: duewestfestival.com.au Benjamin Millar

Council clears pay rise for CEO By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay councillors have voted six-one to give their chief executive a 2 per cent pay rise, bringing Chris Eddy’s total remuneration package to $330,000-$340,000. There are no additional allowances and he does not receive a car as part of his package. Western suburbs’ council chief executives are paid more than Premier Daniel Andrews, whose $296,420 base salary is double that of a
state MP. The deputy premier and Opposition Leader receive the base salary plus 85 per cent and 70 per cent loading, respectively. Wyndham City’s chief executive Kelly Grigsby, appointed in September 2015, is halfway through a four-year contract with a $370,000 package, including superannuation and a vehicle. Maribyrnong chief executive Stephen Wall received $310,000-$319,999 last financial year. Brimbank, which currently has an interim
chief executive, would only provide the 2015-16 salary of its former head as $330,000-$339,999. Hume council also provided only the 2015-16 figure of $360,000-369,999. Hobsons Bay Cr Peter Hemphill at last week’s council meeting voted against a recommendation to accept the outcomes of the 2016-17 annual performance review of Mr Eddy and grant a 2 per increase to his base salary. Cr Hemphill cited pursuance of Mobil land as a factor but did not elaborate.
As reported recently by Star Weekly, the council decided not to tender for a parcel of Mobil land in Williamstown North against the wishes of proponents of a new sports centre. Cr Hemphill is on the working group that put forward the sports centre proposal. He was also on the committee conducting Mr Eddy’s annual performance review, along with mayor Sandra Wilson and deputy mayor Colleen Gates.
Fireys relay a message Footscray firefighters have been warming up in readiness for a relay in memory of one of their finest. The 650-kilometre Damien Burke Memorial Mildura to Melbourne Relay, held for the first time last year, will involve firefighters from the MFB and CFA running to Melbourne from August 26 to September 2. The MFB Charity Running Club event is held to commemorate the passing of senior station officer Damien Burke, a 27-year veteran who was on secondment to Mildura CFA when he tragically took his own life in 2016, aged 53, leaving behind his wife Anne and nine children. Mr Burke’s memory was celebrated at the time of his death with a spontaneous tribute that saw the number 47 – the number of Footscray fire station – emblazoned on fire trucks across the state. This year’s relay will begin at the Mildura CFA on Saturday, August 26, and involve 10 runners collectively covering about 110
kilometres a day. The runners will include Mr Burke’s son, Anthony, who is also a firefighter. They will arrive in Footscray on September 1, ahead of the annual Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb on Saturday, September 2. The climb, run by the Firefighters Charity Fund, features more than 600 firefighters in a 28-storey race to the top of the Crown Metropol Hotel in full gear. The event has raised more than $850,000 since 2014 for charities, including the Alfred Hospital Burns Unit, the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute. Both events this year will raise funds for the Black Dog Institute and Lifeline, to improve support services, fund research, remove stigmas and raise awareness of mental health issues, particularly among emergency services personnel.

oBikes on the road to nowhere
More trains at peak times on the Werribee Line.
By Goya Dmytryshchak Concerns have been raised about publicly-available yellow oBikes popping up in inappropriate places in Hobsons Bay. Singapore company oBike has partnered with Swinburne University to introduce Australia’s first dockless bike sharing system, with several hundred bikes rolled out across Melbourne. Users download the oBike app and pay a $69 one-time refundable security deposit to join. The bikes are unlocked with the app and cost $1.99 for 30 minutes, including a bike helmet. Unlike the RACV blue bikes, oBikes don’t have a docking station and can be left anywhere. Cr Angela Altair told last week’s council meeting she had received complaints about the bikes cluttering footpaths. “These yellow bikes or oBikes … have been popping up literally around Newport and Williamstown … anecdotally I understand that they’re causing some problems clogging up footpaths,” she said. “I just wondered … what we know about them and what the council is exposed to in terms of risk? My understanding is we’re not the only council that is grappling with this new phenomenon.” Corporate services director Tammi Rose said the council was still coming to terms with what the impacts would be across the city. “The major concerns that we’re seeing is the leaving of the bikes in inappropriate places,” she said. “There is no designated parking bay for the bike like there are for the RACV blue bikes, for example.

“So, the concern is, who do we contact when these bikes pop up in inappropriate places?” OBike spokesman Chethan Rangaswamy said there had been some “teething issues”. “We look at the population data and transportation habits at each location before the bikes have been deployed,” he said. “We also have service and maintenance teams who physically go out to these locations and fix fallen bikes and redeploy them to busy or popular bike areas as per user data. “We also encourage and reward our users when they report any incident or damage on the oBike app, thus creating a self-sustainable system. “Initially, we do have some teething issues but we are confident once we have driven enough user and public awareness, Melburnians will embrace oBike.”

Maribyrnong Defence Site Community information sessions In May 2017, the Australian Government announced that it will test the open market for the sale, remediation and development of Defence Site Maribyrnong.
Hospital having a ball The Williamstown Hospital ball will return as a one-off event next month, to raise the final $200,000 needed for a $2.2 million upgrade. Actor and comedian Shaun Micallef is hosting the event, part of the Heart of Williamstown hospital appeal, at Williamstown Town Hall on September 2. Unlike most hospitals, Williamstown’s, which opened in 1894, lacks outdoor spaces for patients and visitors. The appeal is aimed at raising money to build a new facade and a community hub in the heart of the hospital, with courtyards and gardens for patient rehabilitation and exercise. Williamstown businesswoman Jenny Sadler, who is one of the organisers, said Williamstown Hospital historically had a proud tradition of fundraising balls and events at the town hall. “Our intention is to raise money for the
refurbishment of the community areas of the hospital but, in itself, the entertainment on the night will be a lot of fun,” she said. “It will be a terrifically good-value night … as well as, hopefully, people will be able to … dig deep for their local hospital which is here to stay but it needs a bit of love. “Hopefully, this night will be able to finalise the final amount of money that we do need to be able to break ground in the hospital.” Guests can enjoy a three-course meal and entertainment by Absolutely 80s, featuring Brian Mannix of Uncanny Xmen, Scott Carne of Kids In The Kitchen and Dale Ryder of Boom Crash Opera. Tickets are $195 per person: trybooking. com/QVMB
The Department of Defence will be leading initial information sessions to enable members of the community to receive an update on planning for the future sale. There will also be the opportunity for the community to hear from representatives from the Victorian Planning Authority and Maribyrnong City Council regarding the planning that will occur for future development of the site. These sessions will be held on: Sunday 20 August 10.00 to 11.30am, and 3.00pm to 4.30pm Medway Golf Club 57 Omar Street, Maidstone To RSVP, please register at eventbrite: defencesite.eventbrite.com.au

MY PLACE Hobsons Bay police inspector Michelle Young has become a resident. She talks about some of her favourite places with Goya Dmytryshchak.
I’ve been coming to Hobsons Bay for over 20 years to enjoy its hidden treasures, and from April, 2015, I’ve been fortunate to be Hobsons Bay local area commander. This has enabled me to have a deeper understanding and commitment to making Hobsons Bay an incredibly safe place to enjoy life. Now also being a resident, it’s not only my professional but my personal commitment to having Hobsons Bay, a jewel within our inner Melbourne areas, a place where people want to live, work and enjoy what we’re lucky enough to have at our doorstep. What do you like about the area? Altona is this hidden pocket of greatness with its beach and its community seaside feel. Living in the area, I’m lucky to enjoy what Altona is – from Tuesday markets to the films in the park during summer, to walking along the beach and feeling the tranquility seeing the water. What would you change? I’m not sure I’d change anything given that through natural transition, there’s already been so much change from when I first started coming to the beach here in 1996. I just see

VICTORIANS WHO WANT A VOLUNTARY ASSISTED DYING LAW? 75% CHANCE OF GETTING IT? 0% (UNLESS YOU CALL YOUR MP – NOW!)
Despite long-term public support, the last two decades have seen 30 attempts to pass a Voluntary Assisted Dying law fail. This is mainly due to fake news and fear campaigns, like the kind the Australian Christian Lobby and Right to Life group are spreading right now in Victoria. They are activating their members to pressure MPs to vote against Voluntary Assisted Dying laws. It’s a tactic that has worked many times before. But polls show that over 75% of Victorians support this law.
Why should any church decide for all of us?
This is the most conservative law of its type proposed anywhere in the world. Those who oppose the law can choose not to use it.
So why should we all suffer for their beliefs? Make it clear to your local MP that this is a law you want. To join our campaign and find the contact details of your local MP visit

CRACKING CRACKLING GAVIN WOOD, MEDIA PERSONALITY AND FORMER COUNTDOWN HOST FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? GW: Out of 10, I would give myself a minus 100. Thank the Lord for the invention of the microwave. I live alone. FB: What is your signature dish? GW: “GiGi” salad followed by a nine-ounce filet mignon and a slice of New York cheesecake with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and a latte coffee at The Palm Restaurant, 267 N Cannon Drive, Beverly Hills. California 90210. FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? GW: Two extremely large lobsters straight out of the sea at Freycinet, Tasmania; six sea scallops around a grilled snapper. I love seafood. I see food and eat it. All washed down with a bottle of Blue Pyrenees pinot noir.
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 TV food show and who is your favourite TV food person? GW: I watch The Chew Chew, which is produced by our own Gordon Elliott out of New York. It’s on NBC here in Los Angeles and one of the chefs is my favourite, Mario Batali.
As mentioned before in this column, roast chickens and I don’t get along. For whatever reason – no matter how many different times or ways I try to cook it – my chooks invariably come out golden brown on the outside … and glaringly pink and undercooked on the inside. As if that isn’t bad enough for someone who writes a food column, I’m totally pants when it comes to pork crackling. I can never get it to go puffy and crunchy. I always seem to end up with a rubbery piece of rind. This week, I decided to have a serious stab at it. I bought a lovely shoulder of pork, then promptly turned to Facebook for advice on how to achieve the perfect pork crackling. If you’re like me and can’t achieve crunchy pork crackling to save yourself … the following tips may just save your bacon! • Pour boiling water over the rind first, • The drier the rind, the better – so leave give it a good blast with a hairdryer.
fridge overnight or even
• Make sure you have a nice, sharp, good-quality knife to score the skin. • Apple cider vinegar works a treat. • Rub the pork rind with oil and salt, make sure your oven is turned up very high for at least 15 minutes then lower the heat and cook slowly. • If all else fails, put it under the grill to finish it off!
FB: What is your favourite food? GW: As I said before … SEAFOOD. My dear mother would make many variations of mince and each meal would be the best meal you would ever have. There’s nothing like country women who can make the best meal out of anything. FB: What is your favourite drink? GW: In the ’80s, two bottles of very good shiraz. Now it’s a glass of very good pinot. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? GW: George Harrison, Karen Carpenter, Harry Chapin, George Carlin and Frank Sinatra. FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? As always, if you have any GW: Yes – stay out of it and let someone in who knows what they are recipes, tipsaor other doing. Always bring nice bunch of flowers and a good bottle of wine.

This larger-than-expected four-bedroom residence is in an exclusive pocket of Williamstown and a short walk from the beach. It has two living areas, while the study/ fourth bedroom on the ground floor could easily double as a play/games room. Sea breezes can be enjoyed on balmy summer nights while relaxing in the well-appointed open-plan kitchen family-meals area. In the kitchen, marble benchtops and floor-to-ceiling shadow-line 2pac cabinetry blends seamlessly into the space. Large-format stone-look tiling looks elegant and Miele appliances feature. Upstairs are three fitted bedrooms and the fully tiled main bathroom with frameless shower, floating toilet and vanity. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with similarly high-spec finishes. Outdoor spaces include an undercover decked area.
This property represents a good opportunity in a family-friendly neighbourhood. There has been some internal modernising, such as new floating floorboards. The kitchen is neat and serviceable and overlooks the dining area, where the floorboards look stylish set against a large bay window. The two bedrooms are fitted and carpeted. Opposite the dining nook is the main lounge room where access to a small entertaining area is via sliding doors. This overlooks the small garden, which is easy to maintain yet big enough for a trampoline or an outdoor dining setting. The great location is an easy walk to cafes and bakeries on Hudsons Road or Vernon Street shops and foodie outlets in the other direction.

Leaks signal bills for flat dwellers
(iStock)
Water leaks and any ensuing damage cause major maintenance issues for apartment buyers and owners, and can cost thousands of dollars to repair. Builders and architects say faulty workmanship and poor design are the main reasons for water leaks in apartments and high-rise residential buildings. As industrial areas are converted and apartment living takes off in central cities, suburban satellites are also boosting medium density developments, and water leaks are becoming a number one maintenance issue for owners. Older buildings are usually the main problem – statistics show that during pre-purchase inspections between 2010 and 2015 across Australia, four per cent of residences were found to have major water problems, and 34 per cent had minor problems. Experts say there only needs to be one leak caused by a poor sealing job, a broken tile or a blocked drain, to cause substantial damage to an apartment, or the ones next door. With more than three million Australians now living in apartments, the maintenance of both old and new apartment buildings needs regular monitoring. Water damage can not only be a very expensive fault to repair, it has the potential to make an apartment uninhabitable. Water damage can cause structural materials to rot, compromising the integrity of walls and even foundations. And if water enters electrical fittings, the safety of a whole building may be compromised. Don’t forget, dampness and mould have major health impacts. www.archicentre.com.au

Woodsmen find a way By Lance Jenkinson Nothing worked for Spotswood on Saturday until a last quarter re-shuffle saw it produce a stunning comeback to steal victory from a devastated Werribee Districts by two points. Woodsmen coach Anthony Eames tried all afternoon to find a formula for getting back into the game, but his lifeless side did not respond and went into three-quarter time in the Western Region Football League division 1 game at McLean Reserve 21 points down. After exhausting plans A, B and C, Eames had one more trick up his sleeve – throw defender Gareth Newton, who spent the first three quarters at full-back, up forward to see if he could cause a few headaches. Newton did more than that – he played a match-winning role in the last quarter. “We shuffled things around a little bit at half-time and still nothing worked,” Eames said. “We had to find something at three-quarter time.” Newton kicked a goal two minutes into the last term to give Spotswood a rare bit of momentum. Goals from Toby Kopa and Wayne Patak had the Woodsmen on level terms before Newton kicked two behinds that would decide the day. Eames conceded the Woodsmen were lucky to escape with a win, but he was proud of their refusal to wave the white flag. “We were ordinary for three quarters and I think Werribee were very good for three quarters, more so, and made us look second rate,” he said. “We had to find something and luckily we did to get across the line.” Veterans Murray Boyd and Tom Langlands lifted for Spotswood in the last quarter. Dylan Callard – the only Woodsmen multiple goalkicker with two – was another spark.

Ciaran Lynch rose to the challenge of nullifying one of the league’s premier small forwards, Andrew Panayi. “He kept Panayi to one goal and didn’t allow him to have his usual impact,” Eames said. “It was a terrific effort from an under-19 player.”

Win and you’re in. That’s the simple equation for Altona entering the final home-and-away round of the Western Region Football League division 1 season. The Vikings will lock up fifth spot in the finals if they defeat St Albans at Kings Park Reserve this Saturday. If they lose, they could be overtaken by Werribee Districts. On Saturday, Altona trailed at every change before losing a hard-fought encounter to Sunshine Kangaroos by 24 points at J.K. Grant Reserve. The game got away from the Vikings in the third term, conceding four goals to one in that quarter. Steven Kennedy was named his side’s best. Jordan Robbins and Josh Rafferty were the Vikings other multiple goalkickers with two apiece. In division 2, Newport Power moved into the top four with a 75-point hammering of Albanvale at Bryan Martyn Oval. Mitchell Taleb was unstoppable for the Power with seven. Yarraville-Seddon is on cloud nine after beating minor premiers North Footscray. The Eagles won by 13 points on the road at Hansen Reserve after Jack Hargreaves booted four goals. In division 3, Parkside won the top-of-the-ladder bout over Wyndham Suns by 32 points. The Magpies trailed by 16 points at three-quarter time, but kicked the last seven goals of the game.

SPORT Falcons scramble to shore up attack “We brought on Tee [Salanoa] which was a bit ambitious being her first final at this level. We even tried Kath there, but we went backwards.” Lind moved wing attack Maggie Lind into goal attack in the final quarter and that finally paid off. “Maggie used to play goal attack but hasn’t for a few years,” Lind said. “She hasn’t played it since under-19 state level. “In hindsight I should have made the move at half-time. The last final we won, we moved Maggie into goals. Emily [Post], Maggie and Molly [Jovic] have grown up playing together and played well in the last quarter.” Jane Cook, who Lind said played well after a slow start, scored 27 goals, including all of the Falcons’ second-half goals. While the attack struggled, Lind was thrilled
with the performance of the defenders. She said they had developed in the past 12 months. Lind said while disappointed with the result, there was a lot to take from this season. “I’ve always said it was a rebuilding year,” she said. “The goal was to make finals, which we did. But I would have liked to have gone on for another week. “Our defenders were raw and have come along nicely. Despite last night, our attacking end was starting to find some form.” Lind said they had started to look at their list for next season and would continue to push some of their under-19 players through the system. The Falcons under-19 side is through to Saturday night’s grand final. Tara Murray
Seagulls honour Jolley By Lance Jenkinson When a football club has been around for 153 years like Williamstown, there is no shortage of special occasions to celebrate and reflect upon. Since its establishment in 1864, the Seagulls have won multiple national titles and state league premierships, toasted countless individual honours and played a significant part in players taking the next step to the AFL. So, it takes a special kind of individual for time to stand still for a moment in the Seagulls nest, and the man that made it happen on Sunday was Seagulls captain Ben Jolley, following a 71-point crushing of Werribee Tigers in the Victorian Football League western derby. Jolley’s 250th VFL game was a special day, not only for Williamstown, but the VFL community. The 31-year-old midfielder received a guard of honour from both sets of players after becoming just the eighth player in VFA/VFL history to reach the milestone. Seagulls coach Andrew Collins knows he has a special player and person in his midst. “The Williamstown Football Club and Ben have had this great relationship,” Collins, who coached his 200th VFL game at the weekend, said. “When we decided to go stand-alone as a football club, the legacy Ben’s been able to do for not only us, but every VFL footballer that aspires to play the best possible level of football [is to stay on in the VFL]. “You could imagine all the offers Ben has had to play local footy, but he’s set such a great example of a footballer who aspires to compete at the highest level he can compete in.” It was also a day to celebrate for Jack Dorgan. After three knee reconstructions, Dorgan finally reached the 50-game milestone, a reward for his persistence in bleak times. While the Jolley and Dorgan milestones occupied the headlines in the week, no individual is bigger than the club, so a win for the team that allowed the Seagulls to move to the top of the VFL ladder was the first priority. “The first celebration was, if we win, we’re guaranteed top two – that was the first box ticked,” Collins said. “The second one was to make sure we can chair off a great champion of VFL football in Ben Jolley. “The third one was Jack Dorgan’s 50th game, this young boy has had three knee reconstructions, so he probably should’ve had 150 games of footy.” Williamstown kicked 12 goals to one after half-time to destroy Werribee. Nick Meese in the ruck, Willie Wheeler and Adam Marcon, at the coal face, and Jack Charleston, in defence, were prominent for the Seagulls.
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ Female
participation in football is the most talked about fundamental change to the sport in its recent history. It has not been a subtle change, either – it is a tsunami of players and teams. Clubs are being inundated with female players who want to be part of this evolution of the game. For so long, women have been supporters, very active and vocal ones, but the landscape has changed forever. I have voiced my concerns regarding the safety of players previously and hope that the drive to make the women’s game look good for spectators does not come at the expense of player welfare. While it is important that the elite female players are remunerated, I think every spare cent should go into coaching – and not just football skills. There is fearless and there is reckless – and good coaching teaches players the difference.
■A
young player from Deer Park is showing she has what it takes to go to the elite level. Chelsea Jansen, who turns 17 next month, was a standout in the under-18 national championships for Vic Metro. She was the sole Western Jets representative at the carnival and played in all four games as a medium defender. She has another year to play at under age level, after which the sky would seem to be the limit in the AFLW.
■ Burbank
Oval is one of the most picturesque sports ovals in Melbourne, but unfortunately it is also one of the windiest. That will make for interesting playing conditions during the WRFL senior finals series, with the division 2 grand final set for Sunday, September 10, and the majority of the division 1 games locked into the home of the VFL Seagulls. Whitten Oval will host the division 1 grand final on the weekend of September 16 and 17.
■ It’s
been good to see more coaching appointments announced in recent days, with John Lamont heading the list by heading into his fifth year at the helm of the Werribee Football Club. Mark Elso is going around again at Tarneit, as is Nick Condos at Parkside. Shaun Borlase is stepping down at North Footscray, citing the need for a fresh voice for the Devils for 2018, even though they are favourites for the division 2 flag. St Albans is yet to announce who will take over from Fab Carelli for 2018, but I believe it will be someone with AFL playing experience. Kevin Hillier

But it was small forward Lachlan Schultz who was arguably best-on-ground. “For a 19-year-old to impose himself on the game like that was outstanding,” Collins said. “All credit to Michael Osborne, my assistant coach, who has done some great work with all the small forwards in particular. We’re really fortunate that we’ve got some terrific small
forwards in Schultz, [Ben] Cavarra and [Jacob] Chisari. “All three of them are good with all the phases, not just goal kicking and marking, they’re very courageous, they chase, tackle and harass, they put the score on the board.” Williamstown will hit the road to face Casey Demons at Casey Fields on Saturday.

City West Falcons’ Victorian Netball League championship season is over after it’s attacking end failed to fire on Wednesday night. Facing Geelong Cougars in an elimination semi-final, the Falcons were slow out of the blocks and left to pay for it. They trailed by five goals at quarter-time; the margin was out to nine goals at the main break. While they slowed the Cougars in the third quarter, the Falcons still trailed by nine goals at the final break. The Falcons changed things around in the final quarter but it was too little, too late, and the Cougars won 45-42. Falcons coach Marg Lind said the attack couldn’t get it together. “We couldn’t find a functioning goal attack,” Lind said. “Steph [Puopolo] didn’t start well and we couldn’t isolate Kath [Knott] and it was a low-scoring first quarter.

Magic feels the promotion heat By Lance Jenkinson
Altona Magic coach Goran Lozanosvki has plenty of work to do to engineer his side’s push for promotion. (Shawn Smits)
12359671-RC31-17 10056264-01
The pressure is well and truly on Altona Magic in Football Federation Victoria men’s state league 1. The Magic has lived a cosy existence for most of the season, a clear front runner in the chase for promotion to the National Premier League. To be fair, the Magic has hardly put a foot wrong, collecting 15 wins, three losses and a draw from 19 games, so they deserved to be title favourites and the No. 1 ranked side. Such was its dominance, some believed the Magic would have the title wrapped up by now – until a new challenger emerged. Geelong is giving Altona reason to look into the rear view mirror. Geelong has come out of the blue, stringing together seven wins in eight matches and closing the gap significantly. The Magic’s lead at the top of the ladder is down to five points with Geelong having a game in hand. Goran Lozanovski’s players realised they were in a for a fight when they lost to Geelong 4-0 two weeks ago. Geelong will not go away and will keep probing and asking questions of the Magic. Can the Magic players hold their nerve? Altona reacted strongly to the Geelong loss by thrashing Banyule City 4-1 at Paisley Park Soccer Complex on Saturday night. Jon McShane fired in a double for the Magic, while Ben Clarke and James McGarry also made the scoresheet. The Magic players did not go into their shells following the heavy Geelong defeat – a good sign. They remain in a good position and hold their destiny in its own hands.
In the run home, they will play three teams – Keilor Park, Western Suburbs and Essendon Royals – that sit in the bottom half of the ladder, so they will go into all three games as favourites. Win them all and the Magic will realise its dream of promotion to the NPL. Lose one and they will leave themselves vulnerable to a swoop from Geelong, which is just waiting for a chance. At the other end of the table, Altona East Phoenix’s survival hopes are getting bleaker by the week. The Phoenix lost 2-0 to Preston Lions at Paisley Park, leaving them five points adrift of safety. The team they are trying to catch is third-last Yarraville Glory, which picked up a valuable point in a 2-2 draw with North Sunshine Eagles on the road at Larissa Reserve. Akira Koizumi was the toast of the Glory on Saturday night after firing in a double. In men’s state league 2, Altona City had a too-close-for-comfort 1-0 win over Moreland United at Moomba Park to keep hold of top spot. Matthew Gray scored the winning goal for City. It was a disastrous weekend for local men’s state league 3 clubs, with Melbourne City walloped 11-0 by Melbourne University and Williamstown thrashed 5-1 by FC Strathmore. In women’s state league 2, Maidstone United edged out Maribyrnong Swifts 2-1 at Scovell Reserve. The lethal Amanda Kezovska scored a double for United, taking her season tally to 10. Yarraville Glory played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Yarra Jets at McIvor Reserve. Alexandra Miller scored a hat-trick for the Glory.
