New plan for parking By Benjamin Millar Motorists who overstay parking time limits are at greater risk of being fined since Maribyrnong council installed parking sensors in Footscray CBD. The new regime comes as the council nears almost $8 million lost in parking meter revenue since a 2015 freeze in Footscray CBD and Yarraville, following fierce backlash by Yarraville traders to the introduction of paid parking. Yarraville Say No To Paid Parking convenor Megan Darling last week became a Maribyrnong councillor after being elected on a vote countback following Catherine Cumming’s move to the Victorian Parliament. The sensors, which cost $100,000 to install, are small battery operated devices installed beneath the parking bay. They record the arrival and departure time of vehicles, alerting parking officers to any vehicle over-staying.

Market coup for Spotswood The Slow Food Farmers’ Market is moving to Spotswood Kingsville RSL after more than 11 years at Abbotsford Convent. Slow Food Melbourne president Alison Peake said the convent contract had been awarded to another operator, but fortunately talks had already been under way with the RSL about developing a “community food hub”. Ms Peake said the slow food movement was concerned with “caring for the planet and caring where your food comes from”. The market of up to 80 stalls will be on the RSL bowling green, carpark, memorial garden and surrounding council land. “We sell fruit, vegetables, meat, wine, biscuits, artisan products, olive oil, soap … you can do all your shopping from the farmers’ market,” Ms Peake said. “We’re actually the only Slow Food Farmers’ Market in Australia, so it’s a really good thing for the west. “It’s a perfect location. We’re close to local community in Spotswood, South Kingsville, but also close enough to Yarraville, Seddon, Newport. “It will literally become a local market – people will be able to walk and bike. It’s an easy location to get to.” The first market will be held on Saturday, February 23, from 8am-1pm. Entry fees, by gold coin donation, will go to the RSL.
Sensors provide information to help manage - Martin Zakharov parking

The technology is helping the council collect parking data to shape any decision as to whether parking meters are switched back on. Parking fees will only be considered once other restrictions have been applied and demand exceeds 85 per cent capacity. Maribyrnong mayor Martin Zakharov said the new parking sensors provide accurate information to help manage parking conditions and traffic flow in the area. “Sensors provide data 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing accurate analysis of parking trends,” he said. “This can result in changes to parking conditions which create efficient turnover of spaces and help increase parking availability for residents, businesses, shoppers and visitors.” The sensors are also likely to increase revenue to council coffers from parking fines. The council last year came under fire over its process of reviewing fines handed out to motorists. Victoria’s Ombudsman released a scathing report calling on the council to overhaul its infringement system, finding it had an unfairly rigid review process. Ombudsman Deborah Glass compared the council with five others and found its practices were lacking in fairness and discretion.

Medal winner empowers others Altona Meadows’ Carmel Walker has received an Order of Australia Medal for helping train doctors and midwives to serve the Pacific Islands. Ms Walker has worked with the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists for more than three decades. “Often people in the Pacific – and I’m talking about medical professionals and midwives – are very isolated,” Ms Walker said. “My work was in medical education for doctors, and

then we also branched in to midwives because midwives have a very important role. “I found that through encouraging people and giving them links and networks, they could be the best that they could be. “If you empower people and give them the resources to be their best, they will rise to the occasion.” In 1995 Ms Walker was a founding member of the Pacific Society for Reproductive Health. Her work has taken her to Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu, helping them in areas such as family planning and reducing maternal mortality rate.
King honoured for welfare work Helping other people is in Marilyn King’s blood. Growing up “incredibly poor” in the central Queensland town of Biloela, her parents were nevertheless known throughout the area for their generosity to anyone in need of a bite to eat or a place to stay. “As a kid I would wake up and find strangers who had obviously slept there the night sitting and having a cup of tea,” she said. “My parents always said no matter how little you have, you always have enough to share.” The West Footscray resident’s own selfless service to aged welfare has been recognised with a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM). Ms King founded the support group Willing Older Workers (WOW!), which provides financial, emotional and practical support for unemployed people aged over 50 who are struggling to get back into the workforce. She has also been an advisory member on a number of community, disability and ageing groups. Ms King was previously a state finalist in the Australian of the Year award and was Maribyrnong council’s 2013 Citizen of the Year, picking up the Rotary Club of Footscray’s Community Service Award the same year. Her own involvement in volunteer work began in a remote Aboriginal community in northwest Western Australia. “We don’t do these things for recognition, there are heaps of other people doing things as well,” she said. “There is no better way to take your mind off your own troubles than to help someone else.” Far from slowing down herself, Ms King is busy preparing for the next chapter in her colourful life – moving to Bulgaria to fix up a home that dates back more than 400 years. “It’s just got so much history, it’s the first place that was built in the valley,” she said. “We want to set it up as a museum; they don’t know this yet but when it’s done we will gift it back to the village.”
Jones hits one more big score Mel Jones has plenty of runs on the board in making her mark in male-dominated fields. The Footscray resident has now been recognised with a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to cricket and the community. Jones said she grew up with a love of cricket from her father, who hailed from the West Indies. This was cemented under her high school teacher John Handscomb, the father of Australian test player Peter Handscomb. “At that stage I didn’t even know that women played cricket,” she said. “I thought I would give it a go and my family have been extremely supportive of it.” Jones went on to be a long-serving member of women’s National Cricket League team Victoria Spirit and was a member of the Australian Women’s World Cup Team in 1997 and 2005. Her playing career was studded with a number of one-day internationals and test matches, scoring a century on debut against England. After a trailblazing career on the field, the long-time advocate for inclusion and diversity in sport is now taking on the male-dominated realm of cricket commentary with Fox Sports. “We are seeing a societal change in terms of women’s sport in Australia,” she said. Marilyn King has been recognised with an OAM for her community service. (Damjan Janevski)

While she retired last year, Ms Walker remains connected to the area and started the charity Beanies for Babies in the Pacific. Newport’s Reverend Ronald Mark was made an officer of the OAM for services to the community. The Anglican priest cofounded the Australia Karen Foundation and is a member of the Hobsons Bay Interfaith Group. Laverton’s Colin Campbell received an Australian Fire Service Medal in recognition of 29 years’ work with the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, including 16 years as a Leading Firefighter and the past decade as a multicultural liaison officer.

Purrfect idea for a pet With National Pet Adoption Day just around the corner, people are being urged to consider adding a furry member to their family. While the official adoption day is February 9, PETstock Altona North is already helping large numbers of pets find new homes. Louise Grant, who adopted two kittens last week, said it felt like the right thing to do. “I feel like the message is so drilled out there to adopt, not shop,” Ms Grant said. “You see just how many animals are out there that need adopting … it just doesn’t feel right to buy an animal when there are ones that need a home.

Seventy years of love By Goya Dmytryshchak Altona North couple Mary and William Robinson will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on Tuesday. The two, both 90, met while ice skating at the former Glaciarium in South Melbourne. “Actually, I was at rollerskating and it rained … and they abandoned it so we had to go ice skating,” Mr Robinson said. “When it was finished, we were all coming out and she had a hamburger. “She was just going to take a bite and I walked past her and said, ‘Give us a bite’, and she said, ‘Here you are then’.” The two married at Sacred Heart in Newport. Mr Robinson was a senior inspector for the former Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, working at the Spotswood Pumping Station. One of his colleagues was Eddie McGuire’s dad, who read out his cadet son’s first newspaper article to the other men. “I have been back to Scienceworks,” Mr Robinson said. “It’s a real eye opener to see what they’ve done with it,” he said. “Most places, they just close them up and forget about them.” The couple share many similar interests and are both keen Richmond supporters. “The first game I saw was in 1934,” Mr Robinson said. “I can remember that because it was a centenary year and Richmond won the flag.” The two also attribute their long marriage to “luck” and commitment. The couple has one son and daughter, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

New plans for Pier Street site Plans to build three five-storey apartment blocks comprising 57 dwellings on an old Altona petrol station site have been lodged with Hobsons Bay council. The former Aero Wash n Fuel service station and car wash at 102-106 Pier Street was bulldozed last August to make way for development. In December, the council refused an application to subdivide the site. The application sought to rearrange existing boundaries to create three parcels of land. It was refused on the grounds that it failed to comply with residential subdivision and mixed-use zone clauses in the Hobsons Bay planning scheme. Three applications have since been lodged for the site. Each application is for a five-storey apartment building with ground-floor retail space and carparking. Further information has been requested by the council before the application can be advertised. An adjacent site at 108 Pier Street is being developed into a five-storey, 19-dwelling apartment block. Another Altona car wash, on the south-west corner of Sargood and Blyth streets, is expected to be redeveloped into an apartment complex with retail at ground level. A 25-dwelling, four-storey apartment block is being built on the site of the old Boccelli restaurant at 118 Pier Street. Goya Dmytryshchak

Plea to protect wetlands By Goya Dmytryshchak Documentary maker Wain Fimeri has raised concerns about people crossing a sandbar over Laverton Creek at Altona and accessing a world listed wetlands. The sandbar next to Doug Grant Reserve and Apex Park has extended the habitat area of Cheetham Wetlands, which is internationally recognised under the Ramsar environmental treaty and home to more than 200 bird species. From this area, the short-tailed shearwater migrates each year to Siberia and Alaska – one of the longest migrations of any life form on earth.
‘‘
We are the custodians of this remarkable place
’’
Wain Fimeri
Mr Fimeri said he was concerned about beachgoers, wind surfers and people with dogs crossing the sandbar and disturbing birds. “We are the custodians of this remarkable place,” the Altona resident said. “Beachgoers have many other lovely beaches hereabouts. “Dogs have the grassy Doug Grant park and the wonderful dog beach east of the Altona boat ramp. “We have in our backyard a treasure. Were it a pyramid or a Versailles or an Angkor Wat, we would protect it fiercely.” Hobsons Bay councillor Sandra Wilson said the council was lobbying the state government to extend the Cheetham Wetlands boundary. “Council’s conservation rangers are regularly patrolling the area, with the aim of educating the community about the birds’ habitat and the importance of keeping off-lead dogs within the

off-lead area at Doug Grant Reserve,” she said. “It’s important that people understand that this site is a critical habitat for lots of different water birds including threatened species that come to Hobsons Bay from as far away as
Siberia to feed for the summer before returning north to nest. “We are hopeful that the ongoing discussions with the state government will lead to an increased level of protection.”

West stations high in crime Western suburbs train stations are a hot spot for crime, police data has revealed. Sunshine, Footscray, Newport, Werribee, Williams Landing and St Albans are among Melbourne’s worst suburban train stations for criminal offences. Sunshine had the second highest number of offences reported for stations outside the city loop. Between October, 2017 and September last year, 168 offences were reported at the station, compared with 168 in the previous 12 months. Dandenong topped the list with 414 offences (compared to 353 in the previous 12 months). Ringwood was third with 158 crimes (169 previously), Footscray had 127 crimes (139 previously) and St Albans was 13th with 75 crimes (37 previously). The train stations with the least amount of crime in the west were Seaholme and Rockbank, with two crimes each. Inspector Jon Woodyatt, from the Transit West Local Area Command, said offences most commonly committed on Melbourne’s public transport network included property damage, behaviour offences, assault, thefts from vehicles and other types of theft. “In the western suburbs, offending on public transport network is similar, although bicycle theft is also an issue.” He said that Protective Services Officers, police patrols and extensive CCTV systems were in place across the network.

The Australian Open may be over for another year, but the memories will live long in the mind of Braybrook eight-year-old Morgan Vong. Morgan joined seven other children at the open as winners of the Hot Shot of the Year competition, getting the chance to attend the open and meet some of his tennis heroes. “Having the opportunity to go there was fantastic,” Morgan said. “I wrote about Alex de Minaur and how he’s my favourite player and why I admire him, so that’s how I got to go. I love how he never gives up. “Getting the chance to meet some famous players was pretty cool, and having a hit on Rod Laver Arena was a lot of fun.”
Morgan has been playing tennis for four years at his local club. As well as meeting Australian wheelchair tennis star Dylan Alcott, he said the highlight was meeting the man Melbourne Park’s main stadium is named after. “I got to meet Rod Laver,” he said. “He’s a legend so I was pretty excited to meet him. He was really nice too. “Dylan interviewed us and we got to know him better, which was lots of fun. I’d love to play at the Australian Open one day like them, 100 per cent. “It was the experience of a lifetime.” Ewen McRae

Bay honours its best
Maribyrnong salutes its sharing spirit
By Goya Dmytryshchak An environmental volunteer and a football coach and Down syndrome advocate have been honoured in the Hobsons Bay Citizen of the Year awards. Williamstown’s Marilyn Olliff has been named Citizen of the Year while Altona’s Layla West has been named Young Citizen of the Year. Ms Olliff initiated the Wader Beach for Birds not Litter project to reduce rubbish in the area next to Jawbone Marine Sanctuary and founded Hobsons Bay Boomerang Bags to replace plastic bags with cloth ones. “But my latest project is quite ambitious,” she said of a plan to establish a permanent Hobsons Bay Wetlands Centre. “By having a wetlands centre, we will have the opportunities for people to come along for recreation, relaxation with friends, right through to more formal education programs, workshops, walks and talks,” Ms Olliff said. “Hobsons Bay is just brilliant both for volunteers – I love volunteering – but also we have such a magnificent foreshore … and we need to make sure everyone knows about it and we all work together to look after it.” Ms Olliff said she was “a bit shocked and incredibly honoured” to be picked as Hobsons Bay’s top citizen. Layla, a year 12 student at Mount St Joseph Girls’ College, coaches Altona AusKick’s fastest growing group, the all-girl Super Stars. She was the youngest and only female coach when she started in year 8. “In 2017, we started our first girls’ group with a female coach, which I think really helped the program,” she said. “Just seeing, when I started, having five girls there, to grow to having about 20 girls has been a really amazing thing.”

She also assisted with a team her brother Reid, who has Down syndrome, played on. He now plays in the Football Integration Development Association for Williamstown Seagulls.
“Having Reid has shown me that education is really needed in the world of people with disabilities,” she said. “You’ve got to see the person before the disability.”

of people and organisations provided me with help and sponsorship that first year, especially my friends and family. The name reflects how the sun sets in the west, because in the first few years the festival focus on filmmakers and filmmaking in the west was stronger. But then more and more filmmakers started entering from outside the west and overseas, now that is the biggest area of growth. It used to be called the Setting Sun Short Film Festival but in 2018 we showed a feature film so I tweaked the name.
I moved here in 2001. I’d just got married and was expecting my first child. My husband was working out here. Like a lot of people my age, the west was the only place that was still affordable for a young first time homebuyer. We were part of that generational move to the inner-west that is slowly transforming the area – the area has changed so much in nearly 20 years. We lived in Sunshine for 11 years and it is unrecognisable now compared to then.
What are you most proud about?
What do you like most about the area?
l’m proud of making a positive contribution to my community, of seeing it grow from an idea to becoming a big film festival. And conquering fears: I have a complete terror of flying long haul, but managed to conquer it to go on a family holiday to Europe with my family last year. Swimming in the deep end of the pool, I’m not a strong swimmer. (Damjan Janevski)
I love how ethnically diverse the area is. I grew up in an ethnically diverse area (Oakleigh/ Clayton), so I love feeling there are lots of people of different cultures around me. It makes me feel at home. I love being close to the city and other inner city areas. I love the strong community feeling and westie identity that people have here, encouraged by that village feel. What are your favourite local places? Sapa Hills in Footscray is a family favourite for most occasions, great fresh food and flavours. Sun Theatre for movies – nothing beats meeting someone outside for drink or a coffee and seeing a movie in one of the gorgeous art deco theatres. Pizza d’Asporto in Yarraville has great pizza and even better Italian deserts, the Reverence Hotel for good vegetarian food and bands, Central West Bakery for the bread rolls and little fruit custard tarts.
I love going to Footscray Community Arts Centre when I can, I love having a work space at Kindred Studios because of the all creative entrepreneurs I meet there and I love Savers Footscray. When I can, a drink at Littlefoot Bar, where I often run into someone I know and it is nice and relaxed.
What can you tell us about the Setting Sun Film Festival? The idea came in a flash one day because I wanted to go to a film festival without having to go to the other side of the city. Sun Theatre were on board straight away. It took about a year to set up and get off the ground – a lot

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir goes big on small servings In handful of months, Consider The Sauce will turn nine. I long ago realised that aspiring to cover everything that is happening – and being eaten – across the west is the stuff of nervous breakdown. So we go our merry way – and enjoy immensely, and participate in, the broader conversations. For instance, very few of the bars that have bloomed in the inner west in the past few years have received coverage here. And it’s for that reason that Slider Diner was not really on our radar. Just another burger joint, hey? But visit it we do when our Seddon eating destination of choice turns out to be closed. That’s a fine outcome, for we enjoy Slider Diner. Located in the premises formerly occupied by Ajitoya, the place is done out in bright retro diner style. And the slider angle? Well, that seems to be all about the availability of half-size burgers in a menu dedicated to classy fast food – with a few twists along the way. Usually, half portions cost significantly more than half the full price. So Slider Diner deserves much kudos for the fact its “sliders” cost precisely half of their full-portion equivalents – and they’re generous to boot! This means an individual customer can enjoy some diversity without paying a price in terms of quantity or money.
SLIDER DINER Address: 82 Charles Street, Seddon Bennie is well pleased with slider cheeseburger ($7) and kim cheezy ($7) with crunchy fried chicken, kim chi slaw, smoked cheddar and gochujang sauce (Korean red chilli sauce). My fish burger ($15, not available in half size) is damn fine. The deep-fried rockling fillet, juicy and flavoursome and meltingly tender, is accompanied by lemon dill mayo, lettuce and just the right quantity of finely sliced pickled onion. We are utterly incapable of ordering the likes of burgers or gyros without also summoning chips, but all we want is a taste, really. So we wish more places would offer said chips in appropriately sized – and priced – portions. Slider Diner does just that for $5.50 – though these are just OK. Will we return to Slider Diner? Yes – quite possibly to build a meal out of sides such as chicken wings, popcorn chicken, Tex-Mex corn cob, truffled mac ‘n’ cheese and pulled pork doughnuts. Kenny Weir is the founder of Consider the Sauce, the definitive guide to eating in Melbourne’s western suburbs – www.considerthesauce.net

MARK EUSTICE FORMER AFL PLAYER AND KEYNOTE SPEAKER ON ADDICTION AND MENTAL HEALTH
A GLORIOUS MESS with Sarah Patterson
FB: How would you rate yourself as a cook? ME: Oh, pretty ordinary. I’m OK just for a few things. I sort of went through I stage where I didn’t cook for years and years. Obviously Mum cooked for me all my life, basically. FB: What is your signature dish? ME: It’s probably not a signature meal, but for dinner – last minute – it’d just be a chicken stir fry. Easy. Bang. I’m pretty good at those at the moment. I (also) like to throw a bit of fish on and veggies. That sort of thing. Sweet potato. Some brown rice. FB: What did you grow up eating? ME: Pretty much rubbish, really, when you think about it. I mean, I thought I was eating alright. Before footy and that, you’d have your big bowl of pasta and all that, which was standard. I used to have plenty of cola and Twisties, that sort of thing … fish and chips. FB: Do you have a sweet tooth? ME: I love lollies. I’m a chocoholic. Lindt Balls. Kit Kats. Violet Crumble. Blocks of chocolate. You’ve got to love your Easter eggs too. Just anything, really.
Keto diet guru Scott Gooding was our first guest of 2019 on the Food Bytes podcast and what an interesting discussion we had. The low-carb, keto of way of life has taken Australia by storm, and Scott’s latest book - The Keto Diet Cookbook - is packed full of fresh, beautiful and (importantly) simple low-carb recipes, one of which I just have to share here. You may have heard of the dessert called Eton Mess (layers of cream, crushed meringue fruit). But I’ll bet you haven’t heard of Scott Gooding’s Mess! As Scott himself says: “We eat with our eyes, I know, and presentation is everything, BUT throw that out the window for now. This is my version of a little treat after dinner. It’s not that easy on the eye, but it hits the spot taste-wise!” Personally, I think it looks pretty darn good! And it could not be simpler to throw together. Just combine the following in a bowl: ¼ cup frozen blueberries, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter or a nut butter of your choice, 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut, 1-2 tablespoons of coconut cream, 1 tablespoon of pepitas, 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds and 1 tablespoon of MCT oil (optional). Let me know what you think. Remember, you can hear all our Food Bytes podcasts at mypodcasthouse.com.au
FB: Which five people would you most like to invite to dinner? ME: I’ve thought long and hard about this. I’ve got to have Michael Jordan. Robin Williams (there’s got to be a laugh), Jennifer Aniston, Keith Richards and my late dad. I’ve got Albert Einstein as an interchange. He’s on the bench. Simon Madden can serve the drinks. As always, if you have any recipes, tips or other info you’d like to share, email me at sarah@howdypartnersmedia.com.au
FB: What is your favourite drink? ME: Water, green tea and protein shakes. One of my favourite drinks of all time – which I never have – is an icy cold can of Coke.

SPORT Rivals slug it out for baseball honours The series will be on the line when local rivals Newport Rams and Williamstown Wolves hit the diamond in the Baseball Victoria summer league division 2 at K.C. White Reserve on Thursday night. The two sides have each won once in the first two games of the three-game series, so it will come down to a deciding third game for local bragging rights. The Rams hit back on Sunday with a 15-5 win in game two at Greenwich Reserve after the Wolves had taken game one at the same venue with a 3-1 scoreline. While Newport is on a solid footing inside the top four, Williamstown will be desperate for a second series win to start the new year as it hunts a spot in the finals. The Wolves are a game and a half out of the top four with eight games remaining. In women’s division 1, Footscray had a tough

day at the office, losing 16-6 to premiership favourite Springvale Lions. The Bulldogs are third on the ladder. Meanwhile, the Melbourne Aces season is over after a heavy 5-0 defeat to Canberra Cavalry in the Australian Baseball League
wildcard game at Melbourne Ballpark on Wednesday night. After the two sides finished level on wins for the regular season, it came down to one game to determine who would advance to the play-offs. The Aces were never in the contest, ceding two runs in the third inning and one run in each of the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. The hosts had more errors than hits. Darryl George was the Aces hit leader with 49 hits to accompany a batting average of .329. Infielder D.J. Burt had 45 hits for a team-best average of .338 to go. Burt led the league in stolen bases with 18. Pitcher Dushan Ruzic picked up the most wins on the mound for the Aces with five and an impressive ERA of .282. Lance Jenkinson
No weak link for Eagles By Lance Jenkinson Yarraville executed in all parts of its game to cruise to an important six-wicket win over Taylors Lakes in the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association at the Yarraville Oval on Saturday. The Eagles have moved back into the top six and in the finals mix again. Eagles captain Nathan Allen was full of praise for each and every one of his 11 players, who succeeded in chasing down the 192 target on the second day. “We had no weak link,” he said. While it was a significant win for Yarraville, it will need to move on quickly. The Eagles will travel to Melton – one of the toughest away venues in the league – for the start of a crucial two-day game this Saturday. With both sides jostling for spots in the top six, it could go some way to determining which side will be heading to the finals. “If you can beat Melton at Melton, you’ve done well,” Allen said. “We’re not going to take a backward step. “We’re going to take the game on, be positive and hopefully we can get the outcome we need. “We’ve just got to keep winning to give ourselves a chance to play finals.” Yarraville set up its victory over Taylors Lakes on day one when it bowled out the visitors for 191. All five Eagles bowlers took wickets, including multiples to Matthew Grose (3-58), Allen (2-46) and Nick Parish (2-27). “I couldn’t fault our bowlers,” Allen said. “Everyone played their role and we were able to get them out for 190. “With that wicket, I thought we would’ve been chasing a lot more, so that held us in good stead.” Yarraville’s run chase was relatively comfortable. Teenagers Josh Turner (49) and Aidan Salvado (47) laid down the platform for the Eagles before veteran Matthew Harrison brought it home with 59 not out. Salvado is just 16 and is one of the most promising prospects at the club. “He’s only a pup – him and [Lucas] Nikolovski,” Allen said. “We’ve got them both in there learning a lot and if they can play a role, it helps us out tremendously because they’re only kids and they’re learning the craft, but they both have the capabilities of going on to make a big score, which is a massive bonus for us. “There’s a bit more expectation on them now because they’ve proven they can play.” Harrison is not only a key run producer, but a great role model for Salvado, Nikolovski and the rest of the Yarraville youngsters.
IN THE DOGHOUSE ■ The
Western Bulldogs AFLW team will begin its premiership defence this Saturday in Adelaide against the Crows and unfurl the flag at Whitten Oval the following Saturday when it hosts the Cats. The third season of the women’s game is highly anticipated by both its supporters and detractors. Whichever side you sit on, this season will throw up a million questions, theories and expert opinions on how to make the women’s game better. You don’t have to like it to accept that it is now part of the future of the code. It is not compulsory to watch it, comment on it or have anything to do with it, if that is how you feel. Just don’t stop those who are enthusiastic about it.
■ Things
are moving quickly for the Western Melbourne Group as it gears up for its 2019-20 A League season debut. John Hutchinson is the latest recruit to the coaching staff, joining John Anastasiadis. The announcement of the senior coach is not far away. There are several names being whispered, any of whom would be big news. Fans will get a say in the colours of the new franchise with voting opening soon.
■ Werribee
Cricket Club is dusting off the premiership flag from 30 years ago and the three from the golden era (1993-1996) to reminisce about the club’s most successful time. Saturday February 9, from 1.30pm at Chirnside Park, the champions of the past will be enjoying the spoils of their victories. The stars of that dynasty really are the who’s who of the club and deserve to indulge themselves a bit. It was unparalleled success. The modern-day version, the Yarraville Club Cricket Club, has a 10 year anniversary for the 2008-09 premiers on Saturday, February 16. Details for both functions are on the clubs Facebook pages.
■ There
were some outstanding performances in local cricket last weekend, highlighted by the dominant batting display of Yarraville Club Cricket Club, which hammered Spotswood to all points of Hansen Reserve. Its run spree finished at 4-377 with centuries to Justin Baker (139) and Konrad Kurta (113), who shared a first wicket partnership of 187 after Baker and Joe Blake put on a century opening stand. Hottest bowler of the weekend was Mitch Ellis in the Hoppers Crossing seconds, capturing 5-19 and 9-20 in his team’s outright win. Kevin Hillier

Lions have outright designs on a leap up the ladder Chris Fox hits the crease hard for West Newport. (Damjan Janevski)
West Newport wasted no time wrapping up first-innings points in its battle with Seabrook in Victorian Turf Cricket Association division 3 at Loft Reserve on Saturday. The Lions left nothing to chance, chasing down Seabrook’s tiny total of 74 before stumps on Australia Day. They finished the day on 5-101, giving them a lead of 27. West Newport’s bowlers were ruthless, led by Josh Macdonald, who took 6-41 off 18.4 overs. Daniel Shanahan (2-9) and Chris Fox (2-12) also toiled hard for the Lions. The response from the West Newport batsmen was swift, Aaron Lloyd leading the charge to first-innings points with 56. With the Lions sitting nine points outside the top four, they will be eager for an outright win. One of the teams West Newport is chasing is fourth-placed Williamstown Imperials, who are in danger of a slip-up after posting 185 against premiership contender Point Cook at Saltwater Reserve. David Kirk (55) and Tim Vaughan (50) both raised the bat with half centuries for the Imps.
In senior division, Yarraville Club has the rest of the league looking over its shoulder. The Clubbers’ time in the bottom two could be about to come to an end as they go into day two of their clash with Spotswood at Hansen Reserve as heavy favourites. Yarraville Club enjoyed a run fest on day one, blasting a mammoth 4-377 off 80 overs. Opener Justin Baker ended a lean period with a first century since round three. Konrad Kurta had a similarly tough stretch of form heading into the match, but he went big on this day, smashing 113 off 137 balls. Paceman Allan Wise was the standout bowler for Spotswood, taking 2-71 off 20 overs. Spotswood will need to be at its very best to chase down the runs and deny Yarraville Club an opportunity to leap-frog it in the standings. It was a dismal day for Seddon, already beaten on first innings. The Dockers were bowled out for an insipid 105 and Keilor is 6-113 – a lead of eight. Keilor all-rounder Kaushal Lokuarachchi was the star of the firs day with 5-7 and 36 not out.
In division 1 west, Laverton had a productive day at the crease, compiling a competitive 9-256 against Tullamarine. The Magpies would consider themselves a huge shot at victory after Adnan Khawaja’s 88 put them in a strong position at stumps. Altona North will be defending 206 when it returns to Greenvale on Saturday. In division 2, Kingsville holds all the aces against St Andrews Pascoe Vale at Skinner Reserve. Kingsville posted a so-so 196, thanks largely to 73 from Sujith Nikethana. Getting bowled out early proved a blessing in disguise for Kingsville, which had St Andrews Pascoe in all sorts of trouble on 4-4 at stumps. Altona Roosters are in the box seat against Williamstown CYMS after stellar bowling from Sanjaya Fernando (4-41) and Leigh Lewis (3-36) at Langshaw Reserve. CYs were restricted to 184; the Roosters are 0-38 in reply. Newport-Digman had a strong start against Werribee Centrals, posting 9-296. Lance Jenkinson

Western Bulldogs will begin their premiership defence in the AFL Women’s this weekend. The Bulldogs will fly interstate to face Adelaide Crows in the tasty season opener at Norwood Oval on Saturday night. The firepower of the Bulldogs will be tested early in the season with Brooke Lochland (fibula), last year’s leading club goalkicker, and Isabel Huntington (knee), the No. 1 draft pick, ruled out indefinitely. It will be the Bulldogs’ first official game without Emma Kearney, the AFLW best and fairest from the premiership season. Kearney crossed to North Melbourne in the summer. Jack Sheppard was a standout with the ball for Footscray. (Damjan Janevski)
Cricket
Dogs’ finals hopes fade By Lance Jenkinson Footscray is running out of chances to keep its finals hopes alive in the Victorian Premier Cricket competition. The Bulldogs face a critical second day against Camberwell Magpies at Merv Hughes Oval this Saturday. The equation is simple for the Dogs – score 294 runs or all but kiss goodbye their finals dream. Bulldogs captain Dylan Kight admitted to a sense of urgency for his side. “It’s a big game with them sitting in the ninth position,” he said. “It’s a 12-point game, so it would be a big swing if we can manage to get over the line. “We know if we don’t succeed in getting the runs, it’s going to be really hard [to make finals]. “We know that as a group.” Footscray might have missed a trick on day one. The Bulldogs had Camberwell on the
ropes at 9-230, but a remarkable 10th wicket partnership between Magpies captain Andrew Fekete and tail-ender William Walker blew the total to 293. It has left Footscray with plenty of work to do. “I would’ve been happier if it was 250 or 260 and at 9-230 it looked like we were going to keep them under that,” Kight said. “That last partnership took them above par.” It was an up and down day for Footscray in the field. Not getting an early dismissal hurt as Camberwell advanced to 89 before the first wicket. But Footscray stuck to its guns and snared three quick wickets to reel Camberwell in to be 3-113, then after another successful partnership, the Bulldogs got another cluster of wickets, taking 6-45 to have the Magpies at the crossroads at 9-230. “We managed to get some quick wickets and it looked like we may be able to keep them under 250, which would’ve been a big win for us,” Kight said.
“Then their captain Fekete chanced his arm a bit and got away with it.” Fekete was entertaining en route to 52 off 38 balls. His last wicket partnership with Walker was a game-changing 63 runs. “[Fekete] hit them as clean as anyone did for the whole day,” Kight said. “They took the score above what we would’ve liked.” Jack Sheppard was the pick of the Footscray bowlers. He was unlucky not to get a five-for, eventually setting for 4-54 off 21 overs. “He just presents all day, bowls medium pace and doesn’t give much width and length,” Kight said. “He’s just disciplined in what he does. “A dropped catch at the end of the day would’ve been his fifth wicket. “He was the pick of the bowlers and deserved five wickets.” Lucas Dredge was Footscray’s other multiple wicket-taker with 3-45 off 16.1 overs. Dredge brought an end to the Fekete show. Kight snared five catches behind the stumps.
Altona Roosters raced to the top of the ladder in the CV Women’s Community Cricket north west one-day competition. The Roosters had an eight-wicket win over Tullamarine at Langshaw Reserve on Saturday. Tulla could only manage 9-91 after the Roosters shared the wickets around with two each to Catherine How, Kristy Neuwert, Rebecca Elso-Cooke and Bernadette Elso-Cooke. Altona chased down the runs in 20 overs, led by How (31) and Bernadette Elso-Cooke (29). The Roosters will hit the road to face fifth-placed Hoppers Crossing on Sunday.
