Doggies day to remember

(Damjan Janevski)

Bulldogs tragic Beryl Comben has enjoyed a birthday to remember as she chalked up a magic milestone in Footscray. The great-grandmother, who grew up and spent the bulk of her life in Yarraville, celebrated her 100th birthday with four generations of her family at Bulldogs headquarters last Thursday. The party at Whitten Oval was capped off with surprise visits from Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge and players past and present including Dale Morris and club great John Schultz. Beryl’s son-in-law Malcolm Knott said the Western Bulldogs helped put on “an exceptional day” for the life-long supporter. “They gave her a jumper signed by the whole team, and a scarf and some other things as well,” he said. “It was a great day – the Bulldogs couldn’t have been better as far as we were concerned.” Mr Knott said Beryl went to her first Bulldogs game with her father more than 90 years ago when she was just eight. “She keeps up with them on TV or radio or whatever is available,” he said. “She lives with my wife Maxine and I and she really is very good; her mind is very active and she still does her crosswords every day.” Benjamin Millar

Air quality on the table Inner-west community groups are divided over a new state government reference group tasked with tackling the area’s poor air quality. Melbourne’s inner-west suburbs have some of the city’s worst air pollution and associated health problems, stemming from high diesel emissions in Footscray and Yarraville and ongoing dust and odour issues around Brooklyn. The government says the Inner West Air Quality Community Reference Group will help it better understand and respond to air pollution in the area. The group will bring together representatives

from Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay and Brimbank councils to examine the new air-quality monitoring program introduced in response to the West Gate Tunnel project. But last week’s announcement has triggered a mixed response from community groups. Don’t Destroy Millers Road and the Better West – Spotswood South Kingsville Residents Group, opponents of the West Gate Tunnel Project, argue pollution problems associated with the tunnel project are already being ignored. The Maribyrnong Truck Action Group, which supports the tunnel, has tentatively backed the new group. MTAG president Sam McArthur said the

attention on air quality in Melbourne’s inner west was welcome, but air quality and health experts must have a strong voice on the reference group. Ms McArthur said Maribyrnong adolescent asthma rates were 50 per cent higher than the Victorian average and the area had the highest hospital admissions rate for respiratory illness in Victoria for children aged three to 19. “This population shouldn’t have to pay for the state’s heavy freight load with its health,” she said. “It’s absolutely critical the people involved in this are health experts – our major concern is that this is going to be a panel stacked with representatives of the bureaucracies that are part of the problem.”

Better West argues the reference group is asking the community to solve a problem of the government’s making. Don’t Destroy Millers Road spokesman Chris Dunleavy said the project was being proposed as a solution to get trucks off Yarraville roads, but in doing so it transferred the health problem to Millers Road. “The Brooklyn residential area already has the worst air quality in Victoria,” he said. Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said the new reference group gave the inner west community a chance to have its voices heard. Williamstown MP Wade Noonan said the group followed his campaign to create cleaner air in the inner west.

A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

OUT AND ABOUT

Our City takes its name from our beloved Maribyrnong River and it’s great to see several improvement works being undertaken along the river’s edge. We’re creating a lovely play and open space, to be called Hopkins Street Recreation Plaza, not far from Footscray Community Arts Centre. The plaza will feature a climbing wall with soft fall area, wider cycling paths and lights for increased safety. We’re expecting the works to finish by October so be sure to have a look this spring.

Residents can also enjoy the magic of Maribyrnong River atop of a newly installed floating pontoon in Footscray, close to the striking Heavenly Queen Temple. The new pontoon boasts views of the City and is already a popular spot for walkers, cyclists and photographers alike. The $270,500 project was funded in part by the Victorian Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources with a grant of $120,000 from the Boating Safety and Facilities Program.

MY VIEW We’ve recently appointed members to the new Maribyrnong Active Transport Advisory Committee. Nominations were sought earlier this year with residents from each of our three wards.

Mayor Cr Cuc Lam

We look forward to the committee providing valuable feedback to assist Council on active transport issues, raise awareness of active transport projects and programs and importantly strengthen the relationship between Council and the community on all cycling matters.

COUNCIL MEETINGS Aug Tuesday 7, 4.30pm – Enterprise Maribyrnong Special Committee Tuesday 21, 6.30pm – Ordinary Council Tuesday 28, 6.30pm – City Development Special Committee Meetings are held at the Maribyrnong Council Offices, corner Hyde and Napier Streets, Footscray. Agendas are available via Council’s website the Friday before a meeting at www.maribyrnong.vic.au/meetings.

We know that we don’t always have the answers and through this group we can access local knowledge to make our city even better. Committee members use our bike paths regularly, walk the trails and also have knowledge of urban design concepts. When I travelled to the Netherlands last year I was impressed by the design of a world-class active transport city and would like us to achieve a similar design for the City of Maribyrnong. I look forward to a cycling revolution that changes the way we think, travel and live. Cr Sarah Carter River Ward

Driver jailed for Maidstone crash By Goya Dmytryshchak A Newport woman has been jailed for a head-on collision at Maidstone that left three people seriously injured. The County Court sentenced Jolene Radalj, 35, to four years’ jail with a minimum of two and a half years after she pleaded guilty to negligently causing serious injury, careless driving and driving while disqualified. The court head that in March last year, Radalj had picked up a friend in her car. As they were travelling along Ballarat Road at Maidstone, Radalj crossed the centre line and

collided head-on with a Mitsubishi driven by Kylie McGenniskin. Radalj and her passenger were taken to hospital and placed into induced comas. Ms McGenniskin sustained spinal fractures and had to move back to her parents’ home because she could not look after herself. In a victim impact statement tended last month, Ms McGenniskin said that as a result of the collision her dream of becoming a park ranger had come to an “abrupt end”. “I may not appear disabled to anyone here but this incident has left me physically and emotionally disabled,” she wrote.

“It is likely that I will suffer from chronic pain for the rest of my life. It is likely that I will struggle with chronic fatigue for the rest of my life. I will struggle with increased anxiety for the rest of my life. “I can say without a hint of doubt that this incident has changed the course of my life. Not just for a short period of time, forever.” Radalj’s passenger, who said he declined to make a victim impact statement as he was her friend, suffered a collapsed lung, brain bleeds and bruises, and fractures to the chest, spine and face. The court heard his current state of health was unknown.

The court heard Radalj had an extensive history of driving offences including speeding, running a red light, being a learner driver without a qualified driver, driving an unregistered vehicle, drug driving and driving while suspended and disqualified. She sustained a broken leg, arm and jaw and internal bleeding causing acquired brain injury in the crash. In his sentencing remarks Judge James Parrish said Radalj’s injuries constituted some punishment for her criminality but the nature of the offending must attract a sentence of imprisonment.

Pokie losses top $102m Gamblers in Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong lost more than $102 million on the pokies in the past financial year, figures released on Friday show. Statewide, losses were the highest in a decade, totalling $2.7 billion. Hobsons Bay’s losses for the past financial year were $47,437,370, up from $46,908,519 the previous year. Maribyrnong punters lost $54,924,961 up from $54,068,509. Maribyrnong community services director Clem Gillings singled out the municipality’s highest-earning venue, The Palms Bingo & Club in Maidstone. “At one venue in the city, patrons experienced losses of $13.28 million in 2017-18 – this is an increase of more than $507,000 in gambling losses at that venue compared to the previous year,” she said. Hobsons Bay’s highest-earning venue was Millers Inn at Altona North, where punters lost $12.97 million in the past financial year, $347,427 more than the previous year. Hobsons Bay strategic development director Bill Millard said the latest figures represented the biggest local increase since 2011-12. “The large increase is particularly concerning as during the last 12 months the municipality had one less venue open – Williamstown RSL – compared with years earlier,” he said. Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay are member councils of the Alliance for Gambling Reform, campaigning to make poker machine harm a state election issue.

Dancing like a boss From a hall in Laverton to the television screen, youth workers Junior, Alex, Chuck, Te and Jese are bringing their best dance moves to a new television show. The five men will star in the upcoming program Dance Boss, a competition which will pit 12 teams of amateur dancers from different professions against each other, in a bid to win a $100,000 prize. The members of the “Youth Workers” team, who hail from the Wyndham and Hobsons Bay areas, are also part of the Raw & Rugged Dance Crew. Team leader Junior and his wife Bridgette founded the crew in 2011 to provide young people from the west with access to dance and cultural activities. The crew started out at a Laverton basketball court and nowadays trains at the Laverton Active Hall. In their roles as youth workers, Junior, Alex, Chuck, Te and Jese also work with the Victoria Maori Wardens, a group of volunteers who engage with young people. “We work a lot with at-risk kids, we want to give them the opportunity to be the best version of themselves that they can be,” Junior said. When it comes to Dance Boss, Chuck said he and the other youth workers hoped to “go home with no regrets and have fun”. Dance Boss will air on Monday, August 6 at 7.30pm on Channel Seven.

Bulldog Bob bares his soul By Benjamin Millar

person’. On that mark I think I got a tick, but then, of course, we’re very greedy. Footballers and athletes are very greedy – and you want to do this and win that.” Despite a stellar career that included being named as All-Australian captain and playing an integral part in the flag campaign, Murphy still struggles over not being on the field on that history-making grand final day. “That’s a difficult one for me to talk about still,” he said. “Obviously, missing out on the grand final is a big deal, but the further time goes, I check in with that school kid … I got to play, that was it, so I’m happy enough.” Murphy, who returned to the field in 2017 before retiring at the end of the season, is frustrated when people talk about a “Bulldogs hangover” and remains philosophical about the club’s current lack of on-field success. “It’s redefining who we are – that’s emotionally tricky, that’s going to take some time,” he said. “The way I describe it is that Hawthorn are mountain climbers, the Bulldogs were astronauts – winning the flag was like landing on the moon. Now we’ve got to get our feet back on the ground and it’s the transition of becoming mountain climbers. “Hopefully, that lightness gives them a better chance – it becoming the expectation, not the dream.”

Bob Murphy was famously never one to flinch on the footy field, but he is visibly uncomfortable at the suggestion he has entered the echelons of “favourite son” status at his beloved Bulldogs. Murphy is at Whitten Oval to discuss his 17-year career with the Western Bulldogs, traced in his long-awaited new book, Leather Soul: A Half-back Flanker’s Rhythm and Blues. Sitting on his obligatory second coffee for the day, he explains the making of “a different kind of footy book”.

‘‘

I got to play, that was it, so I’m happy enough

- Bob Murphy

“I always thought there was a gap in the football books – the players were the champions, the guys who had climbed the Mt Everest and put their flag at the top of the mountain,” he said. “I was not that kind of player, I didn’t have that kind of career. I was probably going to do it anyway, then in the last three years there was a more obvious story with a bit of drama and a few tears.” The book took shape over one of the most remarkable periods in the club’s history, from the walking out of captain Ryan Griffen at the end of 2014 to the breaking of a 62-year premiership drought with a grand final win over the Sydney Swans in 2016. The book traces Murphy’s journey from a skinny but talented kid kicking a footy around in Warragul to the captaincy of the club he holds so dear.

Murphy accepts that he found a place in the team he so desperately wanted to be welcomed into, but still struggles to be mentioned in the same breath as other stars from the club’s history.

“You say ‘favourite son’ and I look over my shoulder, looking for Chris Grant and Doug Hawkins,” he said. “I did have a thought in my first week at the club that when I finish I want to be a ‘Bulldogs

Mayor Angela Altair and ranger Andrew Webster tour the lakes (Damjan Janevski)

New take on the lakes People can discover one of Hobsons Bay’s hidden gems on a guided walk which takes in the native flora and fauna of Newport Lakes. The tour of the lakes is an initiative of Hobsons Bay mayor Angela Altair in partnership with Friends of Newport Lakes. Formerly a bluestone quarry and rubbish tip, the 33-hectare reserve is now a bushland oasis. The park has a rating of 4.5 stars on TripAdvisor. “When you are surrounded by native plants and standing on the edge of the lake, it’s easy to forget you are in the heart of suburbia,” Cr Altair said. “Newport Lakes is one of the many treasures I want to share with residents. The walking program is aimed at getting people out in the

open air and discovering the beauty of our natural environment.” Friends of Newport Lakes president Lorraine Harrison said volunteers had put a lot of work into maintaining and protecting the reserve. “Newport Lakes has incredible diversity and uniqueness,” she said. “The reserve has several areas waiting to be discovered including the arboretum, amphitheatre and the North and South Lakes. The walk is on Saturday, August 11 at 10am, setting off from the carpark. Conservation rangers will talk about the wildlife and tea and coffee is provided. Register at ranger@hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au.

Have you heard about Specsavers Audiology Altona North? Specsavers Altona North has launched a new audiology service to customers, revolutionising the industry for locals by offering hearing aids and care at clear, low prices.

new Specsavers research has shown that over half of Australians (57%), 18 years and over, have experienced moments where they felt concerned about their hearing

But while affordable services and products are important, Specsavers Audiology Altona North’s new owner and audiologist Bhavya Srinivasa says professionalism and customer care is the key to success.

Specsavers’ Executive Director of its newly created audiology business, Darrel Magna says the new audiology offering is giving Australians exceptional value in hearing aids and care as well as the expert service that the Specsavers brand has become well-known for.

“I simply love the opportunity to help others. Listening to customers stories and finding them solutions to complex problems has such a significant effect on improving their quality of life,” says Bhavya. Joining Specsavers Altona North, Bhavya is most looking forward to owning her own audiology clinics that align with Specsavers’ values. “Specsavers offers professional eye care and eye wear and is now extending its values to hearing, offering the best technology hearing aids at affordable price points. “At the moment it takes most Australians 7-10 years to acknowledge they have hearing loss before they do anything to help it – if they do anything at all. During these years, I have personally seen so many cases where the individual becomes unable to effectively join in on conversations, so they lose their confidence and start to become isolated. I am passionate about providing affordable, good quality hearing service and I know I can do this at Specsavers,” says Bhavya. One in six Australians experience hearing loss, yet only one in three does anything about it. On top of this,

“By offering audiology, we’re providing truly accessible health care for our customers’ ears as well as their eyes. The earlier we detect and treat hearing loss, the less of an impact the problem will have on a person’s hearing long term. “All customers at Specsavers Altona North will now have a free five minute hearing screen included as part of their overall eye health test in store. We don’t want Australians to have to wait 7-10 years to do something about their hearing challenges, especially if it means they can’t live their lives to the full,” he said. If you feel like your hearing isn’t as good as it should be, Specsavers Audiology Altona North are now taking bookings for free* 15 minute hearing checks. If further testing is required, comprehensive hearing assessments with Bhavya are being offered for $49. If you require hearing assistance as a result, the stores have a range of hearing aids designed and built by leading manufacturers, which feature cutting-edge innovations in hearing assistance. A pair of hearing aids starts from $1495.

Altona North store partners celebrating the launch of Audiology

We’re open for hearing checks seven days a week and if further testing is required, appointments can be made. Our new sound-controlled audiology testing rooms have been set up especially, with the latest in audiology technology.” Specsavers Audiology Altona North is accredited as a qualified hearing service provider by the Australian Government Hearing Services Program which provides eligible people with access to hearing services such as hearing assessments, subsidised hearing aids and aftercare services. If you think you might be eligible, you can apply for the Australian Government Hearing Services Program online or via post.

State Trustees chief sacked

Group manager Shane Foster and MP Jill Hennessy. (Damjan Janevski)

Ambo figures healthy By Goya Dmytryshchak Ambulance response times for life-threatening emergencies have dropped across Hobsons Bay, Wyndham and Maribyrnong, June quarter figures released yesterday show. Ambulance Services Minister Jill Hennessy visited paramedics at Point Cook to announce the statewide figures, which showed ambulances are arriving at 83.8 per cent of code 1 call-outs within 15 minutes. The average arrival time was 11:12 minutes – 38 seconds faster than the June quarter in 2017. In Wyndham, ambulances arrived at 86 per

cent of code 1 emergencies within 15 minutes, compared with 84.4 per cent the previous year. Paramedics were at 91 per cent of code 1 incidents in Maribyrnong within 15 minutes, compared with 89.8 per cent the year prior. In Hobsons Bay, ambulances arrived at 87.6 per cent code 1 emergencies within 15 minutes, compared with 87.1 per cent the previous year. Ms Hennessy said this meant the average time an ambulance took to reach the scene of a Code 1 emergency had improved by 44 seconds in Wyndham, 26 seconds in Maribyrnong and 10 seconds in Hobsons Bay.

“In an emergency, each second counts,” she said. “We know there’s nothing more important than the timely arrival of an ambulance. “This data is more than numbers – it’s lives saved and tragedies averted.” The data showed a decrease in ramping at hospitals, with 86.7 per cent of patients handed over to doctors and nurses within 40 minutes, up from 85.1 per cent in the June 2017 quarter. More than half were transferred to hospital care within 19 minutes. Statewide, Ambulance Victoria paramedics attended 66,866 code 1 call-outs in the June quarter, up from 65,438 the previous year.

The head of the state government body responsible for managing the affairs of vulnerable Victorians has been sacked for “serious misconduct” after allegedly misusing public funds. Craig Dent, chief executive of the Footscray-based State Trustees, stood down in February pending an investigation into misuse of public funds. The State Trustees board last week sacked Mr Dent after forensic accounting firm RSM Australia substantiated the seven “serious allegations” against Mr Dent. The board will refer the allegations to the state’s corruption watchdog, the Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission. Board chair Jennifer Acton said the board was “extremely disappointed”. “However, we can assure our clients that no private funds were involved and no client has been or will be impacted,” she said. Mr Dent’s package was reportedly worth about $430,000 a year including bonuses and superannuation. Mr Dent’s lawyer Andrew Jewell, of law firm McDonald Murholme, said his client denied the allegations and planned to take legal action to fight his dismissal. The sacking comes as Victorian Ombudsman Deborah Glass continues an unrelated investigation into whether the State Trustees has been acting in the best interests of vulnerable clients.

Funding ban call on polluters By Goya Dmytryshchak A submission to the state government’s report on air quality management is callng for environmental polluters to lose access to government funding. The submission comes as Brooklyn residents continue to live with dust levels equal to those experienced during Victoria’s Black Saturday bushfires. Williamstown MP Wade Noonan and Labor candidate for Williamstown Melissa Horne

have made a joint submission to Victoria’s Clean Air Statement, which will help the government identify priorities for future air quality management. “Companies who are found to have not met their legal obligations should be ineligible for any form of government assistance,” their submission states. “We believe this will not only serve as a deterrence against non-compliance, but will also ensure that taxpayers do not have to foot the bill of polluters who ultimately contribute

to the environmental degradation within their community.” The Brooklyn industrial precinct has more than 60 industries, including landfill, recycling, abattoirs and tallow producers. The suburb’s air quality is significantly poorer than the rest of Melbourne, failing to meet national air quality standards on 38 days between November, 2009, and October, 2010 – much more than the five days a year deemed acceptable. The EPA received 754 odour reports for the

Brooklyn area last year, up from 399 in 2016 and 173 in 2015. The submission states: “Some companies have demonstrated a complete lack of regard and abidance towards their legal requirements regarding waste management, which makes efforts to improve air quality in the area increasingly difficult. “As a result, the Brooklyn community have rightly expressed their frustration and outrage at the conduct of certain companies that operate in the area.”

Sailing in to lead roles The trip of a lifetime has left two aspiring African-Australian leaders eager to help young people discover new horizons. Mohamed Semra, 19, of Maidstone, and Winta Eyob, 21, of Sunshine North, recently helped crew the tall ship Young Endeavour along the Queensland coast. They were joined by Gellibrand MP Tim Watts, who praised their tenacity during the inaugural African Australian Leadership Challenge. Mr Semra said he was hesitant about applying for the challenge at first, but thought about what the experience might mean for the next generation of young African-Australians. “When I was at school, I saw younger kids were hesitant to take on leadership roles because there weren’t really people of African heritage in those positions,” he said. “At the beginning [of the sailing trip] I was terrified of climbing or heights, but it was a very supportive community within the boat.”

Ms Eyob said everyone on board worked together. “You challenge yourself even more than you expect to,” she said. Ms Eyob arrived in Australia at the end of 2016 after living as a refugee in Kenya for almost a decade. Mr Semra came to Australia with his mother and siblings when he was two years old after his father went missing in South Sudan. Ms Eyob said she was grateful that Mr Watts had reached out to the African-Australian community in his electorate. “Tim tried to reach Africans and get to know us, which really is amazing for our community,” she said. Mr Watts said he had invited Ms Eyob and Mr Semra to Parliament House in Canberra to speak about their journey and the challenges facing their community in Australia.

Cash boost for social housing By Goya Dmytryshchak The first social housing project on council-owned land in Hobsons Bay is under way at the former Laverton Primary School site. The council has been awarded a $140,000 Social Housing Investment Planning (SHIP) grant from the state government, which will kickstart an affordable housing project.

The council bought the 1.4-hectare Epsom Street site for $2.86 million in 2014. According to a council report, 10,000 square metres would be required for a neighbourhood park, leaving 4450 square metres that could be used for affordable housing. Mayor Angela Altair said the Epsom Street project would improve social housing availability for eligible residents. “Three years ago almost 10 per cent of

Hobsons Bay households were in housing stress, meaning 30 per cent of household income went towards housing costs,” she said. “Since then, house prices and rents have continued to rise while the stock of affordable housing in Hobsons Bay has diminished, resulting in limited choice for those on low incomes and the real possibility of their not being able to afford to live in the municipality.” There were 331 homeless people in Hobsons

Bay on census night 2016, up from 215 in 2011. Cr Altair said the money would go towards a feasibility study into housing on the site. “Over the next 12 months, council will engage experts to further investigate how best to deliver this project for the benefit of our community,” she said. Hobsons Bay was among 15 councils statewide to share $2.5 million in SHIP grants announced last week.

Open day for bub hub The first tours and drop-in information sessions are being held at the $7.7 million Altona Early Years Hub opening next year. The state government has contributed $1.6 million to the Hobsons Bay council-owned centre which is still under construction on the Grieve Parade campus of Altona P-9 College. For teacher at the school Kate Neville, who has a two-year-old daughter Grace and is pregnant with her second child due in October, the new hub has come at a perfect time. Ms Neville is moving from Port Melbourne to Williamstown so she immediately placed Grace and “baby Neville” on the waiting list. “Williamstown, that sort of area, has a massive waiting list so when we found out that they were going to have an early years hub, it just worked perfectly for me and a few of our colleagues that were in the same situation,” Ms Neville said. “The good thing about Grace coming to school with me is that I can spend a little bit longer at the school working whereas before I would have to leave directly after meetings.”

The hub will have 76 long day care and 99 kindergarten places, maternal and child health services, health consulting rooms and multi-purpose community spaces. The council and centre manager Early Childhood Management Services are inviting families to a drop-in information session on Thursday, August 2, any time between 4pm and 6pm, in the junior building at the college. There will be 45-minute tours on Monday, August 6 between 10am and 3pm. Bookings are required for a tour by contacting the council’s early years team on 9932 1000 or earlyyearsinbox@hobsonsbay.vic. gov.au.

Willy oval plan just not cricket By Anthony Colangelo / The Age

Art project takes root India-born artist Anuradha Patel will lead a two-week community art project at Altona’s Joel Gallery which looks at the trees that bind us. Members of the community are invited to attend paper cut-out workshops to construct a tree installation to be titled Source. “The meaning of it, in essence, is that there’s a core or starting point for all of us which really informs us and then as we expand and move in our cultures and as people migrate, there’s an extension of that,” Patel said. “You’ve got a starting point which is your cultural background and your roots and so on, and then as you immerse yourself in other cultures you’re sharing with other things that are around you. “One of the main trees that we’ve looked at is the banyan tree which is very important to many cultures across Asia and also here in Australia, and it often is like a community member – it gathers people around it.” The project, with public workshops planned for between August 11 and 22, is part of the Hobsons Bay Creative City winter arts program. It will culminate in a final art showcase and Indian feast on August 23 from 6-8pm at the Joel Gallery. Details: www.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au/ source2018

(Joe Mastroianni)

Since 1888, two of the state’s longest-running sporting clubs have co-existed on one of the city’s most iconic sporting arenas in one of Melbourne’s oldest suburbs. Williamstown Cricket Club has played at Williamstown Cricket Ground since it was founded in 1852. Williamstown Football Club has played at the ground since 1888. But the WCC-WFC co-tenancy could soon come to an end, after the WFC approached Hobsons Bay council with a proposal to move the cricket club away from its traditional home. Andrew Davies is a former WCC president said he “can’t understand” why the co-tenancy can’t continue. “I am not sure why they think they’ve got the right to do this,” he said. The football club – known as the Seagulls – is concerned about the state of the ground during winter, particularly the wicket area. WFC said it wants to upgrade the women’s facilities. After that, they want to bring the cricket club to the table to discuss ways to improve the surface, which they conceded could include moving them from the ground. “We haven’t engaged the cricket club yet but we have mentioned it to council,” Williamstown Football Club chief executive Jason Reddick said. “We’re not the big bullies trying to push off a club that’s been there longer than us.” A “WFC club facilities proposal” was created in August 2017 and put to council this month. Under a heading titled “The Goal”, WFC wrote: “[We seek a] secure long-term full-year lease that facilitates football participation at all levels” and “[to] relocate Williamstown Cricket Club to a purpose-built cricket facility at Bayside College.”

Ramos-Horta’s words of hope By Benjamin Millar Australia must exert greater pressure on the US to help tackle world conflict and reduce the flow of people forced to flee their home countries, according to former Timor-Leste president Dr Jose Ramos-Horta. Dr Ramos-Horta is currently the chair of the United Nations High Level Independent Panel on Peace Operations, reviewing UN peace-keeping operations around the globe. The Nobel Peace Prize winner, in Melbourne last week to launch his latest book and address staff and students at Victoria University, said the world is at a critical point in its history.

“Right now the international political situation is very complex,” he said. “From the ongoing war in Syria and the ongoing war in Iraq to the situations in Libya, South Sudan, Mali, Myanmar and the situation between Israel and Palestine.” Dr Ramos-Horta also singled out the US under the presidency of Donald Trump as a threat to world stability. “The US is unilaterally ignoring the UN and ignoring its responsibilities in international agreements. “Under Trump a lot of damage will be done, and much of that damage will be long-lasting.” Dr Ramos-Horta remains optimistic the

global situation can be slowly turned around, but warns that US allies such as Australia must use any influence they can exert on the powerful nation to come to the table on issues such as climate change. That quiet optimism is reflected in the title of his new book Words of Hope in a Troubled Time, writings collected from 1992 to 2017. Dr Ramos-Horta said he elected to launch his book at Victoria University in recognition of his country’s close ties with VU. “VU is one of the greatest partners of Timor-Leste, we have many Timorese students studying and getting their degrees there,” he said.

Timing is everything An exploration of the gaps in time is one of two works set to light up the inner-west during this month’s West Projections Festival. Artist Youjia Lu’s Time Experiment NO. 5 will take over the windows of a vacant Seddon shopfront as part of this weekend’s ‘pop-up’ arm of the festival, the first time the event has branched out beyond its Footscray home. Another pop-up will take over West Footscray the following weekend, before the festival returns to central Footscray from August 17 to 26. Lu said her four-panel piece was part of a series focusing on time. “I’ve been experimenting with the gaps in time, especially now video art is moving into digital,” she said. “So I’ve been developing this technique with fast cutting and having the gap physically in the

time line, so that creates a minor strobe affect.” Festival curator Chantal Wynter said the pop-up events offered a chance to show artists in the heart of the local community. “It’s really exciting to have Seddon and West Footscray on board,” she said. A partnership between Wynter Projects and Victoria University, West Projections Festival is celebrating its fifth year. This year’s theme is non/FICTION, exploring the ways humans bombarded with information filter fact from fiction. More than 25 artists will be presenting a series of large scale projections as well as sound installations, animation, virtual reality and dance. Details: www.westprojections.com Benjamin Millar

MY PLACE Loran Steinberg runs a regular poetry night in her home suburb Footscray, a place of “incredible stories”. She speaks with Benjamin Millar. I moved to Melbourne from Adelaide about seven years ago, and after looking in all sorts of places, Footscray was the first to actually accept a rental application. I’ve moved a lot since then, but always in Footscray. What do you love most about the area? The people. The food is a close second, but the people that I’ve met since moving here have been amazing. People seem to talk and share their stories more freely in Footscray and they have incredible stories here. Do you have a favourite local place or places to spend time? The Night Heron, Addis Abeba (favourite food place), Sloth, Pride of Our Footscray and The Dancing Dog would be the top five. They’re all really friendly. My house mates Steve Smart and George O’Hara (also poets) and I just started Sloth Arts Wednesdays, with an all-arts open stage that we’re pretty excited about. How did you get into poetry and spoken word? Kind of by accident. I wrote a poem in the middle of the night; I was in a bit of an odd place, and I thought I should see if there was somewhere to read it, and there was, so off I went, and I got sort of hungry for it after that. Who have been your biggest artistic inspirations?

It’s a really long, disordered, list. I guess because my concern with poetry has been about truths told well, it’s the people around me and individual art works that have the biggest impact. I’m surrounded by people seeking the best ways to distil thoughts, feelings and moments authentically. It’s awesome. What can you tell us about the poetry nights at The Night Heron? Anyone who wants to can have a go at improvising two lines to music on the theme at the end of the night and it’s always a pretty surreal adventure. There are great feature poets who perform poetry on the theme and an emphasis on sharing work by other poets in the open mic. Everyone is really generous with their time, attention and words. It’s like we get a break from normality and nobody minds. What’s something people might be surprised to learn about you? This is tricky, because all the answers I could give feel a bit like coming out. So (deep breath) … I’m really freaked out (but fascinated) by puppets. I’m queer. I have a mental illness – all unrelated, if true, facts. And, when I first started doing poetry, I used to shake so much no one understood a word of it for about three years. I also talk too fast and I’m left-handed. (Damjan Janevski)

Poetry @ The Night Heron will return on August 14 on the theme of Afterworlds, Underworlds, and Other worlds. Featuring Sean M Whelan, Waffle Irongirl and open mic. Details: facebook. com/nightheronpoetryreading

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds Small Graces packs a big punch The burned-out shell of Little Saigon Market casts rather a glum metaphorical shadow across Footscray central, so we love it that Small Graces and some of its neighbours are mounting a fightback by bringing life and sunshine to Byron Street and surrounds. So we definitely pay attention when informed a dinner service is being launched. Not only that – we are invited to try it out (see full disclosure below). Thus it is with keen anticipation and high expectations that Bennie and I front up for dinner. Our expectations are not met. Instead, they are exceeded in grand and delicious style. Just about everything we try from a brilliantly chosen selection from the deep dinner menu is a righteous hit. A salad of beets, grapefruit, radicchio, hazelnuts and goats cheese (top photo, $14) is enjoyed by us both, but especially by Salad Boy Bennie. La Hoguera jamon serrano and garlic-fennel salami are wonderful and served with pickles. They come with luscious warmed green olives and inhalable chargrilled bread. Carrots, salsa of carrot tops, pecorino pepato and seeds ($13) are a sublime veg offering. Squid ink croquette with garlic aioli and sorrel/pea croquette with preserved lemon aioli ($4 each) are, for us, duds. We have no problem with their striking ugliness. But they are too salty – even for us,

FREEDOM

SMALL GRACES Address: 57 Byron Street, Footscray Phone: 9912 6429 two lads who had expressed to Small Graces’ Bec our fondness, upon arrival, for salty restaurant food. Also somewhat visually unappealing is the cauliflower, currants, fermented grapes and macadamia nuts ($15). But in this case the result is an intriguing winner. A pile of lentils appears dull. It’s not. It’s one of the night’s high sensations. Lentils, quince and mints ($12) are moist, succulent, rather sweet and a tremendous pulse dish the likes of which we’ve never before encountered. Brussels sprouts, Jerusalem artichokes and Manjimup truffle ($15) are al dente and a big hit with Kenny; Bennie, no so much. Our evening’s sole outright meat hit comes from hanger steak, burnt onions and bearnaise ($20). We adore that juicy meat and its onion foil. The sauce is good, too – but we consider its richness a bit jarring and unnecessary. The inner west is blessed to have Small Graces doing its dinner thing. And there’s a heap of dinner-time scope in which vegetarians can frolic. There’s booze on hand at Small Graces, which is now open for dinner Thursdays-Saturdays. Consider The Sauce dined at Small Graces as guests of management.

JANET CLAYTON MANAGING DIRECTOR: CHEESELINKS AT LARA

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

FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? JC: I like to use fresh ingredients when I cook – I experiment a little and I would probably describe my efforts as passionate but pretty basic. FB: What is your signature dish? JC: I don’t think I have a real signature dish, but I make a mean baked camembert with caramelised onion jam and my bruschetta with fetta and rocket is pretty good too. FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? JC: I love Asian food so I would have to say a full Chinese banquet with all the courses and trimmings – and deep fried ice cream to top it off. We often ate at the Empress of China years ago and back then Ken Louey’s banquets were the best! FB: What is your favourite TV food show and who is your favourite TV food person? JC: I’m a tragic fan of My Kitchen Rules and although I like Manu and Pete, my favourite TV foodies are female – Donna Hay and Nigella Lawson win. FB: What is your favourite food? JC: Anything with an Asian twist and that someone else has cooked for me. FB: What is your favourite drink? JC: Everyone who knows me will know I love a good chardonnay. FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? JC: Nelson Mandela, Billy Connolly, Freddie Mercury, Michelle Obama and Ahn Do FB: Do you have a kitchen tip for us? JC: I love to entertain and my tip when entertaining is be organised, keep it simple and stay calm.

As the fellow in the famous TV commercial once assured us: Oils ain’t oils. Well, I’ve got news … chips ain’t chips. At least, they’re not just the deep fried potato variety any more. Chips (or fries, as some prefer to call them) come in all varieties these days, and I don’t just mean crinkle cut, shoestring and beer battered. Oven baked sweet potato fries are now a widely available supermarket option for those of us wanting our chip fix, but with a healthier twist. Then there’s polenta chips, haloumi chips and – wait for it – avocado fries. You heard correctly … crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, oven baked and super easy to prepare. What’s not to love?

AVOCADO FRIES

2 large avocados, sliced Juice of half a lime (optional) ¼ cup plain flour 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 cup panko bread crumbs 2 tablespoons oil Salt and pepper Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees. Spread 1 tablespoon of oil on a baking dish; set aside. Squeeze lime juice on avocado slices. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in flour then dip in egg and coat well in panko breadcrumbs. Place in a single layer on the greased dish. Drizzle with the remaining oil or spray with cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes or until the fries are crispy and golden. Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice … chipotle, ranch or a nice garlic aioli could be the go! Thanks to Delicious for this easy version of avocado fries.

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world” – J.R.R. Tolkien (English writer)

Price: $1 million – $1.1 million

With a stunning street presence and, within, white walls retaining the ornate architraves and timber fret work, the bones of this house are those of its original period, stripped bare and then complemented with contemporary finishes. In the open-plan kitchen, meals and lounge area at the rear of the property, a simple white kitchen has timber benchtops and stainless-steel appliances. Geometric pendant lights look great. Exposed timber cafe doors open to a decked area and small lawn beyond. All three bedrooms have grey carpeting; two have built-in robes, one with a renovated fireplace with a period surround and gloss black subway tiling. The third bedroom could easily be a second living space. Walk to cafes, shops and the station – this place is in the dress circle of the Yarraville postcode.

Price: $690,000 – $750,000

Set within a micro-development of similar properties, this spacious townhouse is a few steps to Newport Lakes’ parkland and a five-minute walk to Newport Lakes Primary School, with the train station just a little further. The facade is simple and modern and there is a carport for one car with a single lock-up garage with internal access beyond. Past the neat porch and front door, floating floors and a hall lead to the open plan living area at the rear of the property. The kitchen is an all-white affair with stone benches and stainless-steel appliances. The lounge room has a split-system. Sliding doors lead to the no-fuss paved courtyard. Upstairs there are three carpeted bedrooms with built-in robes. There is a second carpeted living area upstairs, with sliding doors opening to a balcony.

WILLIAMSTOWN 49 John Street, 3016 Greg Hocking Elly Partners: 8387 0000

Price: $2.6 million – $2.8 million

Here is a property for the individual, for the stylistic provocateur; for the buyer with exceptional taste and who wants the very best, not to mention the room to house it all. Interior designer Adele Mangano describes a vision for creating a residence where the bones of the property would stand the test of time. Soaring ceilings, exemplary fittings and hardware, imposing thoroughfares and standout kitchens (inside and out), create a timeless appeal. “The living spaces are large. We needed furniture that would ensure proportion, so

these made-to-measure pieces come with the property,” she said. The dining table measures 3.5 metres in length and is made of American Oak, to tie-in with the flooring and wall panelling in the hall. The Italian-made couch is huge. In the kitchen, find a set of four wall-set Miele appliances – two ovens, a steamer and a microwave. Deep Carrara marble is set atop French provincial-style cabinetry. The walk-in butler’s pantry is extensive. Lavish architectural features by M7 Design Group include floor-to-ceiling picture windows opposite the extensive

sunken lounge area, where the custom-made lounge invites luxurious yet casual evenings and effortless entertaining. Water from the lap pool splashes against the window in an architectural trick that adds interest to the space. “The use of carpet, timber and tile was all chosen to ensure the spaces would be current in the years to come,” Adele says. “If you take all of the furniture out, you can change the mood with ease,” Adele says. “A New York loft or French Provincial style are both achievable thanks to the spaces created by M7 design, and,

SPORT Western Jets handed top-shelf lessons Western Jets have been privy to what it takes to be a contender in the TAC Cup in their past two games. The Jets have come face to face with two of the leading country sides, Gippsland Power and Murray Bushrangers, with harsh lessons delivered on the road on both occasions. It has been part of a three-game losing skid for the Jets, who are fast losing touch with the top four. Jets coach Torin Baker is not worried by the form dip and has backed his side to rebound. “We’ve come up against really good opposition and had to travel away,” he said. “We were certainly in the Murray game for a longer period of time today and probably Gippsland were much stronger across the day last week. “There were some good improvements from last week, but it still wasn’t good enough against a quality opposition. “The boys are a really resilient group … so I back them to take on each challenge.” On Saturday, the Jets let it slip away late in a 47-point loss to Murray Bushrangers at Norm

Minns Oval. The Jets were in with a shot at three-quarter time, trailing by just 11 points, but the Bushies banged on eight goals to two in the fourth to run out big winners. “It was disappointing because we had a good third quarter, so we were right in the game,” Baker said. “They dominated that last quarter, their forwards completely got on top.” Jack Watkins is showing some great signs in the Jets midfield. The 17-year-old, a product of Melton South, racked up 27 disposals, eight marks and six tackles to continue his consistent form. Stefan Radovanovic showed some poise across half-back for the Jets and Connor Thar was busy in the midfield. Daniel Pantalleresco and Jake Hazik snared two goals apiece. The Jets are looking forward to getting back to the Williamstown Football Ground – a ground where they are undefeated in five games this season – on Sunday to face the Greater Western Victoria Rebels.

it or loathe it, there are rule changes coming to Aussie rules football. I do think the game at the elite level has some issues to deal with, it can be excruciating to watch at times. Then you get games like the recent Geelong v Melbourne or Richmond v Collingwood – a great spectacle and an enthralling contest. I have switched off a lot of games this year for several reasons including poor skills, one-sided contests, cringeworthy, unintelligent commentary and a game of little consequence or interest. The AFL was looking at introducing some rule changes in several of the final games of the season that have no bearing on finals spots. This is not going to happen and rightly so. There is another suggestion to do the trial at VFL level, which is incredibly arrogant, and dismissive of a competition that has been around since 1877. The AFL might run the game but a direction of this kind, to any other competition, is nothing short of bullying. Personally, I want to see more kicking and marking in our game at all levels. The less it looks like rugby, and executes like soccer, the better it is to watch. I love both soccer and rugby league but a hybrid of the three codes has little interest for me as a spectator. There is nothing in the AFL rules that can make bad teams play well. I am not sure if that problem is fixable. Also, did anyone else notice the most likely rule change is the 6-6-6 rule? Hope it does not favour the Demons too much.

junior finals start this week, a great reward for all players involved, as well as the coaches, volunteers, club officials and the parents. It is also a timely reminder that it is a game, and winning and losing is part and parcel of what happens. Scenes of ugly parent and crowd behaviour in recent years has detracted from the achievements of the children playing the game. This is a time for celebration, regardless of the result of the game. There is no excuse for anti-social behaviour. Also a reminder to the players to win with humility and lose with dignity. Be ultra competitive but shake hands at the end and savour the moment, there is no guarantee you will be there again.

By Lance Jenkinson Daniel Roberts has conquered Oceania – now he has his sights set on conquering the world. The rising Point Cook boxing star captured the Oceania youth light welterweight title with victory over New Zealander Raymond Seumanu in the 64-kilogram gold medal bout at the 2018 Youth Oceania Championships in Samoa. Roberts was filled with immense pride after winning on behalf of his country. “To be able to wear the Australian gear and stand on top of the podium with the flag and the national anthem, it was unreal,” he said. “Twelve out of the 13 Australians won gold and all 13 medaled.” Roberts’ glory has created a hectic schedule for the remainder of the year. Not only does Roberts need to continue to focus on his year 12 studies at Emmanuel College in Altona North, but he will also be

stepping into the ring to take on the world’s best in his age group at the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in Hungary next month and then possibly representing Australia at the Youth Olympics in Argentina. The Youth Olympics selection will depend on his results at the worlds, but the 17-year-old is confident of success. “My focus definitely is a medal – any colour I’ll be happy with,” Roberts said. “The last Youth Worlds Australia went to, we got two medals, a gold and a bronze, so it’s doable, but it will be hard work. “I’ve qualified for the Youth Olympic Games, but it still depends on performances at the Youth Worlds because places are limited for the Australian team.” Roberts was not shocked when the judges ruled the fight against Seumanu in his favour. He admits his was not a dominant performance, but at no point was he taking any punishment from Seumanu.

“It wasn’t one-sided, but it was sort of my fight,” Roberts said. “It was punch for punch, but the ones I landed on him were probably more significant and had the bigger impact.” Roberts went into the gold medal match with his eyes wide open. He knew the strengths and weaknesses of Seumanu and adjusted his game accordingly. “I’d already seen the kid fight before, so I knew what to expect and how to adapt and fight my sort of fight with him,” Roberts said. “I’m normally an aggressive sort of fighter … but we got a good look at what he could do in the semi-finals and decided to fight a bit different. “I was on the back foot a lot, doing a lot of counter punching … I was a little bit bigger, so I had to use my height and reach over him. “It was different to what I’m used to, but it all worked out in the end.” Roberts is currently in the Philippines on a training camp.

In the seniors, many are still talking about the Hoppers Crossing comeback last week, almost doubling its score in the last quarter to share the points with Werribee Districts. Earlier in the year one point separated the teams. Can’t wait to see if they meet in the finals.

Gators snapping at the heels of finals contention Altona Gators are shattered to see the Big V basketball men’s division 2 season come to an end. The Gators saved their best till last with three wins to round out the season. Gators coach Des Radoslovic reckons his team was close to reaching its peak in July. “Last weekend we beat the top team and won our double header and we rounded out the season with a win today,” he said. “Often when you get to the end of a season, you’re looking forward to a bit of a break and you can reset. “We’ve kind of been improving as a group chemistry-wise and the team has been playing better and better the longer the season has gone on. “We’re almost ready for the next season to start straight away.” Altona finished the season in ninth place, just three wins off a play-off berth. It was a tough outcome for the Gators, who

showed they could match it with any team in the play-offs. “We had a tough first month, but since then we’ve been playing pretty consistent basketball all along,” Radoslovic said. “We’ve had a lot of close losses and that’s what has knocked us out of finals contention. “We were pretty much in every game and we’ve beaten or challenged every team up the top of the ladder.” Altona had a superb 73-63 win on the road over Pakenham Warriors at Cardinia Life Stadium. It was a great atmosphere on the Gators bench as Radoslovic spread the minutes around and rewarded his role players with extended court time. Centre James Till, with 17 points and eight rebounds, and point guard Nathanael Coory, with 20 points and seven rebounds, still had a big say for the Gators, but all players featured for 10 or more minutes, with James Al-Mourani,

with seven points and six rebounds, and Carson McSweeney, with four points and seven rebounds, impacting of the bench. The future is bright for Altona. Radoslovic aims to bring this group back together next season, but will hope to make one or two additions in the off season that could turn them from an also-ran to a title contender. “I feel like we have a really good core of players now,” Radoslovic said. “They’re getting to know each other’s games better and actually starting to play good basketball as a group. “There’s so much good chemistry within the team and good camaraderie on and off the court, which is very important.” Lance Jenkinson Carson McSweeney made the most of his opportunity in the final game of the season for the Altona Gators.

Hard work reaps rewards

By Lance Jenkinson This was a victory of extra significance for Spotswood in the context of the Western Region Football League division 1 season. The fifth-placed Woodsmen won a classic ‘eight pointer’ over the sixth-placed Sunshine Kangaroos, effectively sealing their finals berth at the expense of their opponents. Woodsmen coach Anthony Eames was just thrilled to see his team get on the winning side of the ledger after three consecutive defeats. “We needed the win,” he said. “We were pretty ordinary against Altona and got touched up there, we were alright for three quarters against Deer Park but they crucified us in the third and against Hoppers Crossing we were OK for the majority of the game, but we just turned it over in the last quarter. “It was nice to put a solid four quarters together.” Eames praised the Spotswood team for being a hard working group. The Woodsmen ramped up their training in the midst of their losing streak and the fruits of that labour could be seen in the win over Sunshine. “We had to turn it around,” Eames said. “We’ve worked hard all year to be honest, but we’ve certainly picked the pace up in the last couple of weeks at training. “We forced it.” Trailing by 11 points at quarter-time, there was no panic in the Spotswood camp. With Sunshine virtually at a do-or-die stage of the season, the Woodsmen knew they would take the visitors best shots early and needed to ride out the storm. “We just stayed at it and gradually got back in the game,” Eames said. Spotswood slowly but surely took control of the arm wrestle. It was only the Woodsmen’s inaccurate kicking – a return of 7.14 from 21 scoring shots to half-time – that kept the Kangaroos in the game. The Woodsmen never managed to iron out the creases in their goalkicking, finishing the match with 20 behinds, but they still found a way to win with a five-goal-to-two last quarter. The inaccuracy in front of goal was a concern for Eames. “We just didn’t capitalise on our opportunities as well as I would’ve liked,” he said. “We need to do that better.” David Iaccarino played a starring role in the midfield for Spotswood before resting forward to kick two goals. Tom Langlands copped a tag – “no different any other game,” Eames said – but certainly won the battle. The Walshe brothers – Hayley and Brandon – received praise from their coach. Spotswood will hit the road to play injury-hit Albion at J.R. Parsons Reserve on Saturday.

Netball

Braybrook is one win away from the inaugural WRFL netball grand final. The Bombers were victorious 37-35 over Spotswood in a cut-throat semi-final at the VU Community Sports Stadium on Friday night. North Footscray will live to fight another day after being crushed 44-18 by Point Cook in the major semi-final. The Devils will face Braybrook in the preliminary final this Friday night, with the winner to meet Point Cook in the August 10 decider.

Soccer

Altona Magic has extended its unbeaten run to 10 games in NPL Victoria 2 west. The Magic, seven points clear at the top of the ladder, played out a 1-1 draw with east conference powerhouse Moreland City on the road at Campbell Reserve on Saturday. Jon McShane fired the Magic in front in the first half, but City found an equaliser late in the second half. Meanwhile, Williamstown ended a stretch of five games without a win in men’s state league 3, upsetting Sebastopol Vikings 3-1 away at St Georges Reserve.

Hockey

Meanwhile, Altona survived a scare in a seven-point win over St Albans. The Vikings should have wrapped their win up earlier, but kicked a woeful 4.16 from 20 scoring shots. All’s well that ends well for Altona as it moved a step close to a finals double chance. Further afield, Werribee Districts and Hoppers Crossing played out a draw. In division 2, Parkside came back from 31 points down at half-time to beat Newport

Power by 13, North Footscray snapped its three-game losing streak in a 110-point win over Albanvale, Yarraville-Seddon cruised to a 105-point win over Manor Lakes, while West Footscray was thrashed by 99 points at home to Point Cook. In division 3, Laverton had a heartbreaking six-point loss to Sunshine Heights, while inconsistent Braybrook went from chocolates to boiled lollies in a 108-point thrashing from Point Cook Centrals.

Footscray was back to its brutal best in a 7-0 whitewash of Yarra Valley in the Hockey Victoria women’s premier league at the Footscray Hockey Centre on Saturday. The Bulldogs bounced up to second on the ladder as Monica Singh, Georgia Hopkins and Olivia Colasurdo scored doubles. Altona put up a good fight in a 4-2 loss to top side Hawthorn. In men’s premier league, Oscar Allen struck twice in Footscray’s 3-0 victory over Yarra Valley, while Altona scored three second-half goals in a 4-1 win over Hawthorn.
