By Benjamin Millar and Goya Dmytryshchak Labor has maintained its firm grip on power in Melbourne’s inner-west, attracting a strong swing during the government’s landslide state election victory. Debutante Katie Hall secured Labor the biggest election swing in Victoria at 14.7 per cent, coasting into the seat of Footscray with almost 80 per cent of the vote after preferences. Melissa Horne easily won the safe seat of Williamstown for Labor, while Health and Ambulance Services Minister Jill Hennesy had no trouble holding on for another term in Altona. Ms Hall, 36, takes over Footscray from the retiring Marsha Thomson, who has represented the area since 2006. By the halfway mark of counting Ms Hall had captured 61 per cent of the first-preference vote, well ahead of the Greens’ Angus McAlpine (17.3 per cent), Liberal Emete Joesika (17.2 per cent) – the party’s lowest vote in the seat since 2006 – and Shan Sun of the Animal Justice Party (seven per cent). Ms Horne became the second woman elected to the seat of Williamstown, following in the footsteps of Joan Kirner, who became Victoria’s first female premier. With 64 per cent of votes counted, the two-party preferred result had Ms Horne on 71.45 per cent (22,229) and Liberal Pallavee Joshi on 28.5 per cent (8882). Ms Horne replaces Wade Noonan, who retired from politics after 11 years. The ABC was predicting a 4.9 per cent swing to Labor in Williamstown, which
would increase the margin to 21.4 per cent. The primary vote, with 64 per cent counted, had Ms Horne on 51 per cent, followed by Liberal Pallavee Joshi (17.7 per cent), the Greens’ Sam Long (14.9 per cent), Independent Peter Hemphill (10.9 per cent), Animal Justice Party’s Virginia Saint-James (2.7 per cent) and Independent Lisa Bentley on 846 (2.7 per cent). Ms Hennessy was safely returned to the seat of Altona. With 67 per cent of votes counted, after preferences Ms Hennessy was on 65.7 per cent and Liberal Christian Martinu on 34.3 per cent. Ms Hennessy was first elected to Parliament in a 2010 by-election following the resignation of Lynne Kosky. “I’m proud that local families have acknowledged our achievements in health, education, transport and the issues that matter to them, and backed our plans to do so much more,” Ms Hennessy said. The Western Metropolitan upper house region is heading for a major shake-up with Huong Truong of the Greens likely to be eliminated and Labor expected to pick up three of the five seats. Bernie Finn will retain one seat for the Liberal Party and Maribyrnong councillor Catherine Cumming is on track to secure the fifth spot for Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party. Ms Cumming, the Stony Creek ward councillor, said that if elected she would resign her council role, paving the way for a new councillor to be appointed after a countback of votes from the 2016 council election. ■ More

West Footscray fire evidence goes up in smoke The West Footscray factory inferno was so fierce investigations may never determine exactly what chemicals were being stored on site, according to authorities. Three months on from the August 30 fire that spewed thick smoke over the inner-west and devastated Stony Creek, Victoria Police arson and explosive squad detectives investigating the fire – flagged as potentially suspicious by the MFB – are yet to reveal its cause. An Environment Protection Authority (EPA) spokeswoman said analysis of materials sampled at the fire site indicate the presence of hydrocarbons including benzene, toluene and
xylene, along with other compounds including industrial solvents, detergents and copper. “But due to the ferocity of the fire and the current state of the site, it is unlikely EPA will be able to establish a detailed inventory of site contents,” she said. The EPA is investigating potential breaches of the Environment Protection Act and considering whether to take legal action. Heavy rain over the past two weeks has triggered strong odours in Stony Creek. The EPA spokeswoman said testing shows conditions in Stony Creek have improved considerably since the fire due to dilution by
creek flows, chemical degradation and clean up by Melbourne Water. However, the EPA continues to advise people to avoid contact with the creek water and sediments. Melbourne Water has pumped about 70 million litres of contaminated water from the creek and removed 170 cubic metres of contaminated sediment since the fire. A spokesman said Melbourne Water is planning to remove and stockpile additional contaminated silt from December until March. “Further testing and assessment will be undertaken during the work and after it is completed to ensure the creek has been
remediated to appropriate levels,” he said. “Inspections have shown no return of the black sludge following rainfall events.” The spokesman said impacts had been “minimal” from contaminated water entering the creek last Wednesday after another fire in an industrial area on Paramount Road. The clean-up response is being co-ordinated by the Maribyrnong council according to a confidential recovery plan. The plan will be provided to a new stakeholder advisory group expected to meet next month. Benjamin Millar
Altona festival calls it a day By Goya Dmytryshchak
12370889-CG45-17
The Australia Day festival in Altona has been cancelled. The annual event has been run by the Altona Village Traders Association for the past 11 years. President Kim Walsh said the festival, which attracts up to 15,000 people, had grown too big for he and wife Sharon to host. “We just don’t have the arms and legs on the ground to continue to do it, so it’s with a really sad heart,” he said. “It has nothing to do with being politically correct – it’s just gotten too big. “In a beautiful way, we have created a monster.” The free day-long event had triathlons, live entertainment, stalls, a sandcastle competition, horse-drawn carriages, double decker bus tours and camel rides. It culminated with fireworks on the beach. Western Suburbs Triathlon Club has confirmed that its triathlon events will go ahead next year on the Australia Day public holiday. “Our annual Australia Day triathlon event – kids, juniors and adults – is going ahead as planned for Monday, January 28,” said president Jill Stevenson. Laverton and Altona Community Bank said it would continue its annual sandcastle competition. Director Michael Pernar said that, 11 years ago, the bank had given Altona traders a community grant that helped kickstart the festival. “It’s disappointing, but understandable, that it has become too big an event to be run by the traders, unless they got a lot more financial backing or employed an events co-ordinator,” he said. “Each year, we allocate funds anyway for the Australia Day festival that’s there. And we just thought, ‘Well, if the traders can’t go ahead with it, we’re still going to continue and have the sandcastle building competition’, because that’s always been a part of our Australia Day festivities.”

Hobsons Bay council had already allocated $21,000 funding to the traders association for next year’s Australia Day in Altona event, which Mr Walsh said would be redirected to smaller events throughout the year. “What we’re doing to make up for it is, we are having a number of smaller events throughout the summer period,” he said. “We’re going to have some twilight markets. The Altona traders are going to put on extra movie nights,
which start earlier in the day for the kids. We’re looking at perhaps having a water slide brought in … a whole host of things. “I would rather us do 10 smaller things than one Australia Day. “And again, I’ve got to emphasise we’re not cancelling it because of anything to do with ‘Invasion Day’ or Greens policies or anything like that. I want to emphasise that it has nothing to do with political correctness.
“That played no part whatsoever in us deciding to have to cancel it.” In 2010, Hobsons Bay council took control of another event, Bayside Festival aka Operation Recreation, which had been run by community volunteers since 1977. The council renamed it the Altona Beach Festival. In 2013, the council voted not to fund that festival, held every March, saying it was too close to the Australia Day festival.

Cops go on bay watch By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay’s summer policing team has launched Operation Mercury to target antisocial behaviour around Williamstown and Altona beaches. Police are simultaneously running Operation Teetotaller, with officers conducting checks in and around late-night licensed venues. The summer policing team will patrol until mid-March. Williamstown station officer in charge Chris Allen said police worked very closely with PSOs at train stations.

“They act also as our eyes and ears for large groups of people coming in off our trains to visit the beaches, especially on these warm days and warm weekends – that’s when we get the big influx of people,” Senior Sergeant Allen said. “They are like our early tsunami warning in regards to influx of people.” Meanwhile, a community forum held in Williamstown last week identified the need for more police on the beat as the No.1 priority. Senior Sergeant Allen said the forum aimed to identify issues of concern to people in Williamstown, Newport and Spotswood. “Our main goal was trying to find out from members of the community three things – what their priorities were, what their issues were and where they wanted to see police over the upcoming busy summer period,” he said.

“Within 10 minutes, we were able to easily see the three main issues … they want to see more visible presence, they want to see more foot patrols and they want more engagement with the police – that was overwhelmingly the most popular one.
“The next one was public order issues – noise complaints, beggars in the street, those type of things. “The other one was youth, so a lot more engagement with police and youth, especially around the schools.”
People can pay off their library fines with food – and bring someone Christmas cheer at the same time. Hobsons Bay Libraries is running an amnesty on library fines in the lead up to Christmas to help local families in need. It is the 10th year of its Food for Fines program, which runs until Sunday, December 16. One item of food will scrub off $10 in fines. But even people without fines are encouraged to make a donation of non-perishable food, particularly Christmas items. Suitable food includes tins of meat, fruit and vegetables, and Christmas specialty items such as puddings, mince pies and shortbreads. Food should have an expiry date of 2019 or beyond. At the end of the program, the food will be given to local emergency relief and family support charities. Donations can be made at any library branch. Goya Dmytryshchak

Thousands of car enthusiasts will flock to Williamstown this Sunday for the Resto’s and Rods Car Show raising money for a good cause. The event raises money for Variety: the Children’s Charity, supporting sick and disadvantaged children in Victoria. The team behind the show, Declan McKearney and Samantha Martin from Resto’s and Rods Garage, recently restored an EJ Holden they donated to the E.J. Whitten Foundation. Mr McKearney said a few years ago the pair decided to do the Variety Bash, an annual fundraising event where people drive cars more than 30 years old across Australia. “Our first year, we drove from Melbourne to Darwin and we were totally hooked,” he said.
Parent, carer session
Ms Martin said the show was a way to combine two passions. “We couldn’t think of a better way to fundraise each year,” she said. “We get to combine our love of car restoration and old cars and we put on a car show with all the proceeds going to Variety.” This year’s show will have more than 200 pre-1978 cars on display. There will also be live music from Itchy Fingers, food trucks, and beer on tap in the Pirates Tavern. Car pre-registration is recommended via www.restosandrods.com.au On Sunday, December 2 from 10am-4pm at Seaworks, 82 Nelson Place, Williamstown. Goya Dmytryshchak

Care outsourcing faces a fight By Benjamin Millar More than 500 people have signed a petition urging Maribyrnong council to ditch a move to outsource home care for the elderly and younger people with disabilities. A petition containing 573 signatures calls on the council to continue direct delivery of “this vital community service” to vulnerable and older residents in their homes. Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay councils
have entered tender processes to sub-contract domestic assistance, personal care and in-home respite. The councils argue changes in state and federal government funding mean they have an obligation to ratepayers to test the market. But the move has been vehemently opposed by the Australian Services Union and carers. ASU women’s officer Jane Karslake said outsourcing would not be in the best interests of the vulnerable residents.
“Home care is basically the buffer between keeping the independence of living in your own home and going into aged care,” she said. “There is a lot at stake here.” Maribyrnong community services director Clem Gillings said the councils had gone to tender to identify whether there is “a suitable, philosophically-aligned provider”. “We are undertaking this process seeking to ensure that we achieve continuity and quality of care for clients and ongoing employment for
staff,” she said. “No decision has been made to subcontract services at this stage.” Ms Gillings said local governments delivered only 30 per cent of the Commonwealth Home Support Program in Victoria, with the balance of services delivered by not-for-profit and private providers. “This service sector is growing rapidly, with many capable non-government providers offering a far broader continuum of service than local governments can provide,” she said.
Learn something new at Footscray Take a ticket to lifelong learning with a series of free activities in the Footscray station forecourt this Thursday. The Learning Station will be a pop-up learning space offering quick lessons on gardening, salsa dancing and African drumming, along with languages, activities and games. A collaboration between Maribyrnong community centres, neighbourhood houses and libraries, the event will also include craft for kids and a sausage sizzle. Maribyrnong mayor Martin Zakharov said research shows adults who take an active approach to learning can improve themselves, their families and communities. “Taking time to learn at all ages is the key to a healthy and active life and staying connected in communities,” he said. The Learning Station will be held from 4.30-6.30pm this Thursday. Benjamin Millar

Two new Melbourne inner-west MPs reflect on the state election and look to the future
Labor’s pledge to build a new $1.5 billion hospital and investment in the Footscray Learning Precinct helped spearhead the party’s best state election result in Footscray in years, according to Katie Hall. Ms Hall, preselected to contest the seat just over 12 months ago, said she was excited to have been voted in as MP with a clear majority of the primary vote and almost 80 per cent after preferences. “It’s just such an honour – I can’t wait to get started,” she told Star Weekly. Ms Hall entered the race for the seat promising to focus on protecting jobs, improving infrastructure, reigning in development and creating more open spaces. She said Labor had been rewarded for “being a good progressive government”, getting on
with improving infrastructure and introducing overdue social reforms. “The nasty politics of the Liberal Party doesn’t wash out here – we have Australia’s most harmonious community and people value that,” she said. “We also ran a really strong campaign with lots of really good activist women down there at the stations and door-knocking.” She said that Footscray was a young electorate with lots of young families and, as a mother of two young children, she understood the need for better childcare and more open green spaces in the area. “My goal is to be an activist MP – to work with compassion and to deliver great outcomes for the inner-west,” she said.

Labor’s Melissa Horne has become only the second woman elected to the seat of Williamstown, following Saturday’s state election. With 64 per cent of votes counted, the two-party preferred result had Ms Horne on 71.45 per cent (22,229) and Liberal Pallavee Joshi on 28.5 per cent (8882). Ms Horne replaces Wade Noonan, who retired from politics after 11 years. The only other woman to have represented Williamstown was Victoria’s first female premier, Joan Kirner, who held the seat from 1988-94. Ms Horne’s career has taken her from the ALP’s national office to, most recently, stakeholder relations director with the Level Crossing Removal Authority. She and partner Alex Lovelock moved from Canberra to Yarraville in 2002, before buying in Seddon 15 years ago. They have two boys, Sacha, 10, and Phoenix, 13. “This was a campaign that Labor ran on a number of different issues – some of it was absolutely about infrastructure, which included things like the removal of the level crossing, improved transport, better connections, new trains that are being built, new train services,” Ms Horne said. “There was an endorsement, which was reflected in the vote, of all those different infrastructure policies. But also, too, things like building the new Footscray Hospital, upgrading our schools, all those issues I think that really resonated with the voters. “I can only really say thanks to the voters for endorsing what they saw as a really positive, progressive agenda that the Labor party has, not just for Williamstown but for the state.

Jail sentence for drug trafficking By Goya Dmytryshchak Two men have pleaded guilty to trafficking cannabis after being caught transporting the drug from a Newport house. Nam Trung Tran and Thang Van Le were caught leaving an Anderson Street address in a car containing four bags of freshly cut cannabis weighing 35 kilograms and one bag of eight juvenile cannabis plants weighing 584 grams. The County Court heard the duo had been seen carrying large plastic bags from
the property to the vehicle. A search of the property revealed that a cannabis crop was being grown or had been grown inside, and about 50 cannabis plants were found. The court heard Tran was hired to clean up the house where the cannabis was being grown while Le had agreed to assist him. In his sentencing remarks, Judge Scott Johns said Le, 44, had played a subordinate role to Tran, 34. “The nature of this type of broad criminal activity, that is cannabis cultivation in

properties such as this one in Newport, is that it relies on persons such as yourselves becoming involved, thus keeping those individuals whose criminality and moral culpability is higher at arm’s length,” he said. “Due to this insidious aspect of the overall
criminality, general deterrence is an important factor to deter others of previous good character who might be tempted to become involved in this type of peripheral activity relating to trafficking.” Tran, who had served 441 days in pre-sentence detention, was sentenced to 15 months jail. Le was sentenced to 24 days’ jail, which had already been served, and a two-year community corrections order to complete 250 hours of unpaid community work.
A focus on women Images of six women who have been subjected to violence will be displayed around Hobsons Bay as part of a global campaign. The portraits are from the Silent Tears installation created by world-renowned photographer Belinda Mason in collaboration with emerging artists with disabilities. The images, part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign, tell the stories of six women. Some have a disability and were subjected to violence, while others acquired a disability as a result of violence. One of the women featured is Anj, who at 16 was bashed nearly to death by an ex-boyfriend in the school ground. She suffered a brain injury and spent three years in hospital, rehabilitation and a nursing home before returning home under full-time care. Anj now works to empower others by speaking out against violence and advocating respectful relationships.
The council this week pasted the six portraits, with accompanying stories, at three prominent locations – the corner of Ferguson Street and Wellington Parade in Williamstown, the corner of Pier and Blyth streets in Altona, and Woods Street Arts Space at Laverton. Hobsons Bay mayor Jonathon Marsden said the campaign aimed to get people talking about factors that contributed to violence against women and what could be done to stop it. “The #MeToo campaign has shone a spotlight on the prevalence of sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence,” he said. “This year’s [campaign] theme, ‘Leave no one behind – end violence against women’, focuses on women who are particularly vulnerable.” The campaign, which runs until December 10, also involves the Women’s Health West-led Preventing Violence Together partnership and action plan.

A mind over matter By Goya Dmytryshchak Kathy Lang is the name to remember. The Altona woman smashed a 12-year record at the Australian Open Memory Championships held in Melbourne last weekend. She also took third place for Australia. “I broke the 12-year national record for [remembering] 177 numbers in five minutes,” she said. “You’ve got five minutes to remember as many numbers as you can, and they come in numbers like one, six, seven, four, three – and I remembered 177 numbers in order.”

- Kathy Lang
Preparing for the competition, which attracted entrants from as far as China, Japan and the US, Ms Lang hired a memory coach. “Because I’m in education and teaching and lecturing, I’m really interested in how to learn effectively,” she said. “It’s not doing this to impress anybody – it’s to demonstrate that it can be done. The human potential’s there. “The person that came first place would be studying around 12, 13 hours a day to get to that. “These are elite athletes. These people are like the superheroes – they’ve got amazing brains. “We’re looking at learning say, five or six decks of playing cards in five minutes.” Ms Lang likened her memory training to the styles of tennis legends Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

“Nadal has the arm strength and he’ll be there on court all the time practising and practising, whereas Federer will be just learning strategically,” she said. “I’m just hoping … to show that anybody can

do it too, because I know there’s a lot of people out there – not just mums but business people, entrepreneurs – who want to remember names and things like that so they can learn all these techniques to their advantage.”
Footscray Primary School has joined a growing movement calling on the federal government to support the landmark Uluru Statement. The Uluru Statement from the Heart seeks constitutional reforms that would see the establishment of a First Nations voice to the Australian Parliament enshrined in the Constitution. The statement calls for the negotiation of a formal treaty and a “truth-telling process” about the history and impacts of colonisation in Australia. The school recently staged a special assembly, its reconciliation committee reading the statement and urging parents to discuss it with their children. The school has a long history of supporting reconciliation, last year launching a reconciliation action plan that embeds Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and knowledge into the curriculum and recognises indigenous days of significance.

MY PLACE Curiosity about the history of her Kingsville home proved to be the first step in an evolving journey into the inner-west’s rich past for Emma Curtin. She speaks with Benjamin Millar. What’s your connection with Kingsville?
this is the perspective it’s given me – looking at where I live with different eyes, walking past buildings I’ve walked past a hundred times, but now with an understanding of how that building got there and what was there before it. Recognising that this area was once the hunting ground of the Yalukit-Willam people, later dominated by the industry that has shaped the suburb. It’s a fascinating history of different cultures, growth, development, work and play, all in a relatively small space.
I’ve lived in Queensville Street, Kingsville, for about 15 years and now consider myself a real “westie” (although I was born in England). I moved here from Lysterfield (near Ferntree Gully) to be closer to the city. I admit I knew practically nothing about the area at the time. What do you like most about the area? I really love the community feel – I’ve got great neighbours. There’s just such a great vibe about the place and I love the fact that more and more young people are moving in, many with children who will grow to love the place, too. There’s also so much to do in the area – whether deciding on your favourite coffee spot, going to the movies, walking the dog through Cruickshank Park or shopping in the village and farmers’ market. One of the great attractions was the heritage homes – my place was built in 1913 and I love it, despite the wonky doorways!
(Benjamin Millar)
What can you tell us about Angliss’ Arcadia?
What are your favourite local places? I love the Sun Theatre – how spoilt are we? And you can’t go passed Gojé for a yummy treat after a movie. Then I’ll head to TurneRound Fitness in Seddon to work off the over-indulgence – love the fact that I can walk there from home. I just love walking around the area and particularly love the cemetery – is that weird? So much history and so many stories. How did you get interested in the area’s local history?
I’ve always loved history and used to teach at La Trobe Uni. Through a series of coincidences, I met up with Tony Kelleher, who has done an amazing amount of research and is really passionate about the west, too. We got chatting and ended up writing A distinctive wedge in the west: A history of Kingsville. We decided to write Angliss’ Arcadia: A short history of West Yarraville. We’re looking at writing about Seddon next. Both Tony and I were motivated to write the books so we could share the
community’s history with the community and make it accessible. We’ve had great support from the Footscray Historical Society, and Tony has provided them with his original research material, if people want to know more. What has been your favourite discovery about the area’s past? There are so many things I love about the area’s history. For me, the great thing about doing
Angliss’ Arcadia is focused on the area west of Williamstown Road to the cemetery, bound by Somerville Road and the Westgate Freeway. We called it Angliss’ Arcadia because in the first three decades of the twentieth century – when residential development really began – almost the entire area had been purchased by William Angliss (later Sir William), who owned a meatworks in Footscray along the Maribyrnong River. He was determined to encourage his employees to buy their own land and homes on terms that were no more expensive than if they rented. He was also a great believer in the idea of the garden movement – providing green spaces and recreational activities for workers. The book provides a brief history of the area from its indigenous beginnings through to plans for new developments in the 21st century and includes a guide to help people who want to discover their own house history.

New high-tech hospital Imagine a hospital where real-time video of premature babies is available to family members around the clock. Or where children can interact with images on a digital picture wall, and women can personalise their birthing experience through customisable sound and lighting. These are among the high-tech hopes for the west’s newest facility, the Joan Kirner Women’s and Children’s Hospital (JKWCH), when it opens next year. But to ensure families have the best experience possible, Western Health now needs community help. The Western Health Foundation has launched a fundraising campaign to raise $1.5 million towards additional point-of-care ultrasounds, special care nursery and maternal-foetal medicine technology, artworks and furnishings for play spaces to inject a sense of fun. Adele Mollo, Western Health’s divisional director Women’s and Children’s Services, is calling on the community to donate and help deliver the hospital families in the west deserve. “We want to be able to provide the best healthcare experience we can for babies, children and pregnant women,” Ms Mollo says. “Healthcare shouldn’t be a postcode lottery. “People in the west deserve excellent care that is

view the new baby from any location,” she says.
She says a NICVIEW system – a secure, interactive camera system in the nursery – would be of comfort to families, particularly with the west’s diverse cultural mix.
The new nine-level JKWCH is scheduled to open mid next year, with 20 labour delivery rooms, 39 nursery cots, 64 women’s inpatient beds, 32 children’s inpatient beds, four operating theatres and additional outpatient clinics.
“Many of our families have relatives not living in Melbourne and this system would allow them to
Western Health Foundation director Julia White says they want to provide the very best care in
an environment that makes women, children and their families feel comfortable and that takes away the fear and anxiety of coming to hospital. Donations can be made to ‘The hospital families deserve’ campaign at www.womensandchildrens.wh.org.au or by contacting Western Health Foundation on 8345 7660.

SPORT New pups all set for Bulldogs’ campaign Sandringham Dragons. Although only 17, he is expected to be knocking down the door of the selectors in his rookie season. Smith will bolster the midfield, but can also swing forward and hit the scoreboard. The Bulldogs’ next pick was the most anticipated. Rhylee West, the son of seven-time Charles Sutton Medal winner Scott, landed at the Bulldogs under the father-son rule. West was bid on by Melbourne at pick 26, but the Bulldogs had the chance to match the bid and did so in a heartbeat. The 18-year-old from the Calder Cannons is an inside midfielder with a hard edge, not too dissimilar to his father. With their third pick, 37th overall, the Bulldogs drafted speedy half-back Laitham Vandermeer, out of the Murray Bushrangers. Vandermeer played for the Bushrangers
under the 19-year-old rule in the TAC Cup this season. It was not only his quick wheels that garnered the attention of the Bulldogs, but also his testing at the draft combine, where he ranked equal second in the standing vertical jump. The Bulldogs rounded out their draft by picking up local prospects Ben Cavarra, from Williamstown in the VFL, and Will Hayes, from their own VFL side Footscray. In the rookie draft, the Bulldogs brought in Lachie Young, who played in the Dandenong Stingrays premiership this season, and Jordon Sweet, a mature aged ruckman who featured in North Adelaide’s SANFL premiership. Buku Khamis, a local player from St Albans and the Western Jets, arrived as a pre-selected Next Generation Academy player. Lance Jenkinson
Seagull dreams fly high By Lance Jenkinson In the middle of the 2018 season, Williamstown coach Andrew Collins pleaded with AFL recruiters to take a closer look at the talent on his club’s list. The phone had not been ringing a whole lot, so either the recruiters were looking at his players from afar or they were not looking at all. But someone was watching, because the Seagulls had an incredible haul of three players selected in the draft. “How good is it for the Williamstown community and mature aged recruits to get three guys taken from a stand-alone VFL club in the national draft? ” Collins asked. “It’s a real credit to those clubs that took those players.” Those players – Ben Cavarra, Lachie Schultz and Brett Bewley – had their AFL dreams realised on Thursday night. All three mature aged prospects had been overlooked in multiple drafts, but their willingness to keep pursuing their goals of making it to the AFL paid off in the long run. Cavarra, a high-pressure goal sneak, was the first Williamstown player off the board, selected by the Western Bulldogs with pick 45. At 22 years and with the Bulldogs crying out for a small forward after the departures of Clay Smith and Luke Dahlhaus, perhaps Cavarra can impress straight away and earn a regular berth in the senior team. “One of the most inspiring premierships of modern times was the Bulldogs of 2016,” Collins, a triple premiership player with Hawthorn, said. “That premiership was built on forward pressure. “To get Will Hayes [a draftee from Footscray VFL] and then Ben Cavarra, that’s a real nucleus of putting that forward pressure back into that forward half for the Bulldogs.” Not long after Cavarra’s name was read out, Fremantle pounced on two more Williamstown players. Schultz, an electrifying small forward, and Bewley, a hard-working utility with elite skills, found their way to the Dockers with picks 57 and 59 respectively. Collins gave credit to the Bulldogs, Fremantle and the maturity of the AFL industry for recognising how valuable mature aged recruits can be. “Most clubs are doing a great job with their recruiting, but in particular the interstate clubs,” Collins said. “Fremantle are one of the leaders in the industry when it comes to mature aged recruiting.” Collins envisages further growth in the drafted Seagull trio because of the fact they will be able to focus on footy and not have nine-to-five jobs.
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ After
seven years out of the hot seat, Chris Murphy has jumped back into the role as president of the Spotswood Football Club. The Murphy name is synonymous with the Woodsmen, with his parents Len and Joan long, long time servants of the club. Chris is as passionate about local footy and his club as anyone I have met and he will continue on the good work done by Alan Given over the past seven years. Annette McLaren continues in her role as administrator (now in her 16th year) and Michelle Langlands continues as treasurer for her fourth year. Spotswood is a powerhouse club in the WRFL with a very healthy junior and senior history, and is a trailblazer in the development of female footy in the west. More importantly is the roll Joan makes rather than plays, as her sausage rolls are the best I have tasted.

Crossing Sports Club held its annual awards night last Saturday with three new inductees into the club’s Hall of Fame. Recently retired footballer Matt Ryan joined cricketers Greg Kennedy and Mark Craig to receive the highest accolade from the club. With nearly 1000 games between them, each was well deserving of the honour. Chris Guy was named the Rising Star after a breakout year with the Warriors and Jason Dowie deservedly received the Committee Person of the Year award for his untiring work for the football club. Big news at the football club is the move by Shane Buckingham to step down as president.
■ In
the early days of the WRFL radio coverage moving to WYN FM there were a few people who were less than helpful. One of the people who gave great moral support from within the radio station was David Kennedy. Sadly David passed away earlier this month. David was a life member of the North Melbourne Football Club, after 30 plus years service, and his passion for the Kangaroos was shared with his love of broadcasting and presenting his jazz and music shows on WYN FM. A gentleman through and through, a loyal and decent man, he will be sadly missed.

“They all have enormous upside,” Collins said. “Look at Ben – he’s been studying, working two part-time jobs, one as a teacher’s aide and another one in hospitality. But now he gets the chance to focus on footy. “I expect all three of these guys … to go to a whole new level as full-time footballers.” If there was a disappointing aspect to the draft for Williamstown, it was the non-selection

The kennel will be full of exciting new pups for the Western Bulldogs this pre-season. The Bulldogs have continued their rebuild after missing finals the past two seasons by bringing in eight new players over the draft period. There was a variety of avenues available to Bulldogs national recruiting manager Nick Austin and general manager of list and recruiting Sam Power in their search for talent. They sourced players from the TAC Cup, VFL and SANFL and took advantage of the father-son rule and the Next Generation Academy. It was a thorough process for the Bulldogs in the hope of getting the best available talent to the club. With their first pick in the national draft, the Bulldogs selected Bailey Smith, one of the highest rated midfielders in the draft, out of the

New Bulldog lives out AFL dream Western Jets defender Buku Khamis endured a lengthy draft period, but he finally got his wish of landing on an AFL list. The 18-year-old was hoping to be selected in the main AFL draft and was tipped to do so by the experts, but was overlooked there before eventually being listed by the Western Bulldogs as a pre-selected rookie. Khamis, who was born in South Sudan and arrived in Australia in 2006, was glad to land at the Bulldogs, a club that had worked with him as part of its Next Generation Academy. “I was hoping to get picked up in the actual draft, but at the end of the day I’m just happy because I’m on an AFL list at the Western Bulldogs,” Khamis said. “I’m stoked to be officially a part of the Western Bulldogs. I’m just so grateful to be at a great club.” Khamis was expected to attract a bid by another AFL club in the draft, but surprisingly one never came.
That allowed the Bulldogs to pre-select him ahead of the rookie draft – something of a steal for a player who excelled for Vic Metro at the under-18 national championships. He earned All Australian honours at the championships, displaying incredible athleticism, tremendous reading of the play, strong intercept marking and clean use of the ball by foot. Khamis will relish the chance to grow with the young Bulldogs’ list under coach Luke Beveridge. Having already been involved at the kennel as part of the Next Generation Academy, he expects the transition to the big league to be a smooth one. “I already know what it’s like and what to expect and how the people are there,” he said. “It is very exciting to go to a club where they have very young players. I think we can relate to each other.
“We had a function with the new draftees and a few staff members … the message was to just come in and enjoy it, work hard and have fun, as well.” Khamis is grateful to all the people who offered guidance throughout his junior career, particularly former Jets coach Torin Baker. Baker was not only his coach at the Jets, but worked closely with him at Maribyrnong College. “Having him work at my school helped shape the player I developed into,” Khamis said. “He’s helped me out with my craft and the Jets coaches at training have been really good in helping me become a better player.” After starting his life overseas, Khamis found out about Australian rules football when he arrived as a six year old. His ambition when he first played, at St Albans Football Club, was to simply have fun. Lance Jenkinson

Bowls
Altona left nothing to chance against local rivals Yarraville-Footscray in the Bowls Victoria premier division. The A’s were back to their best in a 97-57 mauling of the Bulldogs at Civic Parade on Saturday. They were victorious in all rinks, picking up a maximum 18 points. It was a disappointing day for Yarraville-Footscray. The Bulldogs lost significant ground on the leading four teams in the competition. Altona visits two-win St Kilda on Saturday, while Yarraville-Footscray will return home to face Lilydale in a clash of two mid-table sides.

Draft highs, lows for Jets By Lance Jenkinson In every AFL draft, there are hard luck stories. Outgoing Western Jets coach Torin Baker felt that Stefan Radovanovic, Daly Andrews and Connor Thar drew the short straw out of the Jets this year. The Jets had Zak Butters (Port Adelaide) and Xavier O’Halloran (GWS Giants) picked up in the first round, while eyebrows were raised when Buku Khamis slid beyond the draft and to the Western Bulldogs with an academy pre-selection before the rookie draft, but at least he landed on an AFL list. For Radovanovic and Andrews, both Vic Metro representatives, and Thar, who came second in the Morrish Medal and took out the Barry Round Medal for Jets best and fairest, it was a night of disappointment. The talented trio missed out as a consequence of one of the deepest draft pools in years and the AFL clubs strategy to go for ready-made VFL players later in the draft. “Obviously I was rapt for Zak and Xavier who went in the first round,” Baker said. “That was really good efforts from those
two boys and they were certainly thoroughly deserving of their seasons and the projections as to where their footy might get to. “I was surprised that a club didn’t bid on Buku, very surprised considering he’s come off an All Australian year, but the fact is, he still gets to the club that he wanted to get to. “I am disappointed that one of our other boys didn’t get an opportunity in Stefan, Daly or Connor. “I thought they were certainly in the unlucky group and there’s always unlucky players. “They would feel that they could’ve had an opportunity somewhere.” Butters was secured by Port Adelaide with pick 12 in the draft. Baker sees the speedy 18-year-old midfielder/ half-forward as a perfect fit for the Power. “He goes to a club where they’ve had a couple of players leaving like Chad Wingard and Jake Neade, so they’re looking for a player of his [Butters] type to play that role [across half-forward],” he said. O’Halloran was one of the finest leaders in Baker’s time at the Jets. Not only did the tough-as-nails midfielder captain the Jets, but
his leadership qualities were recognised with the skipper’s role for Vic Metro. Baker sees similarities between O’Halloran and his new teammate and GWS Giants captain Callan Ward. “I can see Xavier being teamed up with Callan Ward and them being two peas in a pod really with the way they go about it,” Baker said. “He’s an elite character and that’s part of the reason why clubs wanted to get him. “I know there was a few disappointed clubs that he didn’t slip to them because you’re going to get a really good leader as well as a good player.” Baker was “staggered” that Khamis was not bid on by another AFL club. Khamis was linked to the Western Bulldogs through the Next Generation Academy, but other clubs had the chance to select him in the draft and force the Bulldogs to surrender a draft pick. However, no bid came, to the surprise of Baker, leaving the Bulldogs to have a free run at home after the main draft. For more AFL draft coverage, log on to www. starweekly.com.au.
Premier Cricket, Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association and Victorian Turf Cricket Association matches were all called off on Friday evening after a week of rain caused havoc to turf wickets across the west. Footscray’s meeting with Melbourne in Premier cricket will revert to a one-day game at Merv Hughes Oval on Saturday. The same will occur in the Sub-District with Yarraville’s home game against Oakleigh, Werribee’s visit to Altona and Williamstown’s hosting of Caulfield to revert to limited overs affairs this Saturday. VTCA games were all declared draws with the exception of results already achieved on day one.
