Ambos claim lives are at risk

COVER: Former Demons star Russell Robertson is providing a lead in the campaign against family violence.

Picture: Scott McNaughton

BY CHAD VAN ESTROP CASEY paramedics say lives are at risk due to over-worked staff and under-resourcing in the area.

Stephen Brandon, who works in Narre Warren and Berwick, said only three ambulances were available between Dandenong and Warragul after 9pm each day. ‘‘All you have is Berwick, Beaconsfield and Pakenham. At the moment I don’t think they cater for the demand,’’ he said.

Mr Brandon said dispatch times to code 1 jobs, which involve life-threatening conditions, were also a problem.

‘From my experience, in the past two months there has been at least one code 1 job where there has been a delay in dispatch.’

Under the proposal, a five-day driver induction program will be cut next year, forcing graduate paramedics to pay for their own training.

“I couldn’t imagine police driver training being outsourced so why should ours?” Mr Brandon said.

Ambulance Victoria’s metro east regional manager Cath Anderson did not respond directly to questions on outsourcing driver training. ‘‘We are continually looking at ways to build on and improve the delivery of our training,’’ she said.

Ambulance Victoria had placed ‘‘new or upgraded ambulances’’ in Cranbourne,

Lyndhurst and Endeavour Hills over the past 12 months. Asked about response times, Ms Anderson said AV had made changes to its referral system “to ensure [AV] were best placed to respond immediately to life threatening emergencies’’.

Ambulance Employees Union state secretary Steve McGhie said paramedics’ concerns over pay and working conditions could cause up to 1500 to walk away from their jobs in the next five years.

It is expected an independent arbitrator will be appointed to try to break a seven-month deadlock in pay negotiations when the AEU and the state government meet this week.

Ms Anderson said AV wanted to “identify options which reward paramedics’’ in order to conclude pay negotiations as soon as possible.

‘‘From my experience, in the past two months there has been at least one code 1 job where there has been a delay in dispatch.”

Ambulance Victoria statistics show 90 per cent of code 1 jobs between July 2011 and October 2012 in Berwick were responded to in under 20 minutes, Beaconsfield in less than 23 and Narre Warren in under 21.

The government benchmark for responding to a code 1 job is 15 minutes.

Mr Brandon said a 25- minute delay in dispatch to a code 1 job in Narre Warren earlier this year could have been life threatening after the patient was found to be unconscious when paramedics arrived.

Paramedic Jason Tosch, who works in Narre Warren, Berwick and Pakenham, said staffing shortfalls at the Cranbourne station left it unmanned on three occasions in the past two weeks.

He said response times tripled, from six minutes to 20 minutes, as a result.

Mr Brandon also criticised a proposal by

Re: Grand Berwick gallery plan unveiled A stand-alone art gallery fails to include other forms of art in the City of Casey, eg music, theatre, orchestral and dance,which have an equal need of a suitable venue.

Surely a well planned, multi-use facility which incorporates all forms of art, including visual art forms, would be a more efficient use of council funds and meet the needs of all Casey artists.

to both dog and family. There is little difference between this and judging people by skin colour.

Most of us have risen above such superstition and discrimination.

When will our government?

This is totally ridiculous! If the dog has bitten someone then yes it needs to be put down, but this dog has shown no aggression and this legislation is being taken out of context by councils and must be controlled. Stop this madness — people are losing their loving pets!

Doug Sethton (via web)

This law needs to be abolished.

Breed-specific legislation is bad enough, but to seize and kill a well-behaved dog based on how it looks is irrational, unscientific and certainly cruel

Charlotte (via web)

Pete (via web)

What do I think? I think that after so much time wasted and money lost the people at Cardinia Council are just too cowardly to admit they are wrong.

Cheryl (via web)

Re: Dogged legal pursuit leads back to VCAT

Cardinia is going along with a foolish decision.

Please let common sense prevail and release Rocket.

Don’t waste any more ratepayers’ funds please.

Another horrendous story of injustice and persecution. Hope and pray this resilient and heroic man gets his dog back.

Marlene Weale (via web)

Stop wasting money Cardinia — Rocket is not a dangerous dog.

He has not bitten anyone. It is so unfair to continue to kill dogs on ‘looks’.

Should we now start to lock people up because we do not like the way they look and state they are dangerous?

This law is idiotic — so disappointing to see that

Please send Rocket back to his family where he really belongs.

They have no reason to hold him since he’s never attacked anyone.

You would have to hold every single dog in Victoria on the premise of maybe they’ll attack someone.

There’s no reason not to send him home, enough is enough.

If he hasn’t attacked anyone while in custody than he isn’t going to.

Duh. Lorrie Miller (via web)

Councils have been given too much power over things outside of their area of concern.

Breed-specific legislation is a disgusting travesty of justice as was slavery, ageism, racism and all the other isms.

Statue story ‘bit suss’

BY CHAD VAN ESTROP FRESH criticism has been levelled against plans to erect a statue of Greek Olympian Spyridon Louis in High Street, Berwick.

The statue was commissioned in 2011 to represent ‘‘an example of the Olympic spirit, ideal and mateship’’ between Berwick Olympian Edwin Flack and Louis. The men competed in the 1896 Olympic marathon.

But a Berwick resident says the friendship is fictional with ‘‘no factual evidence’’ to suggest the pair were mates.

Peter Sweeney, the author of Edwin Flack: The Lion of Athens — a biography of Flack based on his memoirs — questioned the friendship. ‘‘There is nothing in Flack’s memoirs to suggest that there was a close friendship between the two.’’

Mr Sweeney states in his book that Louis was arrested and jailed for forgery in 1925. He was later

found innocent of the charges. ‘‘I just wonder what the real reason is for the statue. It seems a bit suspicious; there is something missing,’’ Mr Sweeney said.

‘I can’t see the point of having the statue in High Street.’

— Peter Sweeney He said the statue should not be placed in High Street as it had no relevance to the area. ‘‘I can’t see the point of having the statue in High Street. It doesn’t have much to do with Berwick.’’

George Panagakis, the vicepresident of the Australian Hellenic Organisation in Support of the Olympic Spirit and Ideal — the organisation responsible for the statue — said his organisation was happy to listen to residents’ concerns. ‘‘At the end of the day, we

8

want everybody to be happy.’’

Mr Panagakis said AHOSOSI would pay for the statue with the help of a $25,000 state government grant. The statue is expected to cost $39,000.

Mr Panagakis defended the Louis-Flack friendship and said the statue’s purpose was to promote harmony between Australia and Greece. ‘‘The whole ideal [of the statue] is to promote friendship and multiculturalism.’’

Mr Panagakis said the association would meet the council this week to discuss the plan for the statue.

A Berwick residents’ group said Casey Council had ‘‘lost touch’’ with the community, after backflipping on its original decision to place the statue in Edwin Flack Reserve. Residents, Ratepayers and Friends of Berwick Village president Annette Aldersea said it was clear the community did not want the statue in High Street.

BY CATHERINE WATSON DEPUTY mayor Sam Aziz has gone to China to seek out Chinese entrepreneurs to invest in business opportunities in Casey.

The trip is a truncated version of a grander trade mission proposed by Cr Aziz last year that was to have included the mayor and CEO, with invitations to the premier and representatives of Cardinia Shire and Monash University.

Instead, Cr Aziz will tag on to a privately organised business mission for his five-day trip. He did not respond to the Weekly’s questions on what he planned to do in China.

But in a press release from the council he stated he was visiting China to ‘‘begin building relationships with the government and business sector to facilitate investment and potential business opportunities for Chinese nationals’’.

He stated the Casey-Cardinia region featured a number of major investment opportunities, including an airport for the

south-east, civic and commercial precinct development in Narre Warren, an international-standard ice rink and the Bunyip food belt.

In December, councillors voted unanimously to send the delegation of three to sound out Chinese entrepreneurs to invest in publicprivate partnerships with the council.

The original mission was suggested by Cr Aziz, who nominated himself for the trip, although in the past he has been a vocal opponent of councillors travelling overseas and interstate at ratepayer expense.

Last month councillors voted to modify the mission after a report from council officers suggested that finding Chinese investors might be a matter best left to the experts.

The officers’ report recommended the council should engage with China through state government opportunities and by sending a single representative on the private trade delegation to gauge initial investor interest in Casey.

Cameras candid on litterbugs

Capri& Curtains Blinds

BY CHAD VAN ESTROP CHARITY stores in Casey will be given new weapons in their fight against illegal dumping.

Under a state government initiative announced last week , four stores in Casey will be armed with surveillance systems, fences and signs to deter the dumping of unwanted goods.

But some store managers have expressed concern the new measures may just transfer the problem.

Manager of the St Vincent de Paul store in Cranbourne, Kim Ronaldson, said a fence, to be erected this week, may not be a deterrent. ‘‘We are thinking that the fence may just transfer the problem to the nature strip.’’

Ms Ronaldson said the Cranbourne store was one of the worst affected in the state with volunteers spending up to four hours sifting through unwanted items on Monday mornings. ‘‘On the weekends we get a lot of furniture dumped, as well as a lot of unusable clothes and rubbish.’’

St Vincent de Paul retail operations manager Michael Rawlinson said the bill for disposing of unusable donations across Casey

and Cardinia would top $500,000 in 2013.

Salvos sustainability and waste manager Donald Munro said the Narre Warren store would trial CCTV under the new program. ‘‘Because this program is a pilot it will test if cameras are able to work in insolation.’’

Mr Munro said Salvo stores had spent $2.3 million this financial year disposing of unwanted items.

The manger of a Pakenham op shop, which missed out on funding under the trial, said

volunteers spent at least an hour cleaning up unwanted items each morning.

She hoped the new program would educate people on illegal dumping and suggested incentives to encourage people to use landfills.

The first phase of the program will provide $500,000 to 38 charity stores across Melbourne. Environment Minister Ryan Smith said insights gained from the program would be used to form the next stage of the campaign targeting illegal dumping.

FEATURESTORY It’s easy to be one of the boys, says Russell Robertson. The hard bit is challenging your mates when the talk becomes misogynist. CATHERINE WATSON reports.

United front: Rod Bezanovic says there is a connection between family violence and animal cruelty.

Crying foul over culture of cruelty

Making his mark: Former Demons star Russell Robertson is providing a lead in the campaign against family violence.

Picture: Scott McNaughton

Machismo without tears I

n his prime, Demon Russell Robertson could change the trajectory of the game with a miraculous snap at goal or a nerveless set shot from 50 metres out. But the 200-game veteran says that in his 13 years of playing football, the most courageous act he saw happened off the field.

It happened on a Demons’ footy trip to Thailand at the end of the season, 10 or more years ago. It was typical of such affairs: 40-odd youngish blokes hanging out, lots of boozing, lots of women — or at least lots of blokes talking about women and sex. In the middle of one of these sessions, Clint Bizzell — a hard man of the Melbourne team — stood up and said, “This is ridiculous. I don’t want to do it any more.” And walked out.

Until then, Robertson had thought what they were doing was just what any young bloke would do if he got half the chance, but Bizzell’s comment made him think again. ‘‘By the next day I agreed wholeheartedly with him and we never had a footy trip like that again,’’ he says.

Ten years after that pivotal footy trip, Robertson is a sometime musician, model and reality TV star, a full-time AFL development manager, a family man and the face of a new campaign – the Challenge project – to tackle family violence across Casey, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong.

The state government has given funding of $600,000 over three years for the project to recruit leaders in fields as diverse as sports clubs, faith communities and ethnic associations to speak up in their own communities against male [ 8 ] WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE

perceptions of females that lead to violence against women and children.

Robertson believes the campaign is right on the money. He says it’s only by blokes speaking honestly to their mates that we’ll see real change, man by man, boy by boy. And change is vital: last year police recorded more than 6000 reports of family violence in the three municipalities. There were more than 3200 reports in Casey alone.

Ask him why his attitude to women is different from that of so many football stars and he credits it to having three sisters.

“I didn’t like the fact that they live in a world where they have to be afraid of what men might do to them. I don’t think twice if I want to go to a supermarket at night. I can park in a deserted car park and have no fear of being assaulted. They don’t have that freedom.

“Men are lucky to have been born with the strength to defend themselves. Unfortunately, sometimes they use that strength against people who are not as strong.’’

In his role as an AFL development manager, he talks to footballers all over Australia and to boys in local schools and is constantly amazed at their attitudes to females. “It’s interesting how archaic our thinking is and how impressionable young men are. Boys think of their fathers as heroes.

Everything my father did I watched. Imagine the impact on one of these young kids of watching his father bashing his mother.”

A former Tasmanian, he has a special link with Casey, having married a Cranbourne girl and settled in the area. He says there is no doubt

April 9, 2013

that family relationships are demanding.

“After a long day at work, it’s hard to read a book to my son or go out and play with him when I’d rather sit on the couch and watch sport on TV. Married life is challenging every day.

“I played football for 13 years and I had a ball.

I don’t care if my son knows about that. I do care that he knows me as a respectful, honourable man who always looked after his mother.”

One of his biggest challenges as an AFL development manager is teaching over-indulged, over-idolised AFL footballers to treat women respectfully in a culture that often treats them with contempt. If he ever feels daunted by the task, he only needs to think back to the example of his teammate on that footy trip. ‘‘To my mind, Clint was a hero that day. He stood up in one of the hardest forums — hanging out with his mates — and said ‘This is bullshit’.

“We have to have the courage to stand up individually and say ‘I don’t like this this’ and walk away. It’s baby steps for stopping family violence but perhaps my example will change someone else as Clint’s example changed me.

“The easiest thing is to be one of the boys. You can make a change by simply standing up for what you believe. That’s the hard bit. That’s what being a hero is.”

If you are experiencing family violence, contact: ■ Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service: 1800 015 188 or 9322 3555.

■ In an emergency, call triple-0.

ROD Bezanovic describes it as a light bulb moment. He was listening to a talk by Dave Sheppard, the former head of Casey’s family violence unit, and he suddenly saw the connection with his own work as team leader of Casey’s local laws department.

“We knock on the same doors, we speak to the same people and we do the same sort of work,’’ he said.

Casey has the largest number of family violence cases in Victoria and the highest number of animal welfare cases, Mr Bezanovic says. ‘‘There is a connection between family violence and animal cruelty. If there are pets in the family, they are invariably used as a tool in a situation of family violence.”

The realisation of that connection led him to join the council’s men’s action group and to become an ambassador for White Ribbon, the campaign against family violence. Now his team members are trained to recognise the signs of family violence when they are out in the community. They can report to the police and can provide supportive evidence if necessary. The more pairs of eyes the better.”

After 30 years in law enforcement, he says becoming involved with the campaign against family violence is one of the most rewarding things he’s done. “This is something I do to prevent harm to the people of our community.”

Colleague Nathan Islip had a similar epiphany. “I’m a father, a friend, a colleague and I’m a man. Really I only need to think about my seven-year-old daughter to resolve that I need to do something.”

Working as an urban designer with the council, he was struck by the fact that many women and elderly people felt stranded in their homes.

Becoming a White Ribbon ambassador has meant going out and talking to boys and young men but also, more uncomfortably, challenging his own friends at times when they talk out of anger or frustration.

“I don’t know how much of a difference my little actions have made but if I can change one person I’ve achieved something exciting.”

Removable teeth (dentures) full or part, are an artificial body part. They replace lost gum (bone resorption) and teeth, but will never have the same performance as the original. However with the know how of accurate and precision measurements, as well as the use of high quality materials as well as processing techniques, we can get as close as possible. The very closest to regaining stability (particularly lower dentures) is implant technology (implant overdentures).

App help for victims of sexual assault

BY DANIEL TRAN VICTIMS of sexual assault will now be able to report their ordeal anonymously through a new smartphone app.

Developed by the South Eastern Centre Against Sexual Assault, the app will give victims an outlet to come forward if they are not comfortable reporting their assault to police.

Centre manager Carolyn Worth hopes the app will make reporting sexual assault less daunting for victims. ‘‘One out of a hundred people will tell someone they’ve been assaulted and that’s not even official reports,’’ she said. ‘‘So what we’re hoping is that people will be comfortable with being able to report information anonymously.’’

Victoria does not have anonymous reporting protocols and victims who want to come forward must give their name. Ms Worth said victims often found it daunting to speak about their assault to police. ‘‘Lots of people either drop out of that process or they don’t want to do that in the first place. ‘‘People think their issue’s not that important or they were in some ways to blame because of what they were doing and they might be judged.

Sometimes people aren’t that clear what is sexual assault.’’

With the new app, known as SARA (Sexual Assault Reporting Anonymously), users can fill out a report via their iPhone, Android device or on the website.

The information, which will not be identifiable, will be collected by the South Eastern Centre Against Sexual Assault so it can identify the frequency of different types of assaults, hot spots and other trends.

The data will then be passed on to the police so a more accurate understanding of offences is compiled. A further option will enable users to be contacted by the centre. Information collected is deleted regularly.

The app was inspired by the disappearance of Irish woman Jill Meagher, who went missing from Brunswick in September last year and whose body was later found in a shallow grave.

The app was created with the support of young women who wanted an avenue to report anonymously.

Ms Worth expected the reports made by the app to hold the same weight as those made in person. ‘‘If you’re not going to report anyway, officially, this gives you another option.’’

New avenues: Carolyn Worth says victims will now be able to anonymously report their ordeal online and via smartphone.

INBRIEF Fijian centre approved A Fijian Indian group can go ahead with a Hindu community centre and place of worship in Narre Warren North after the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal rejected residents’ objections. Casey Council last year granted a permit to the Shri Sanantan Dharam Society of Victoria to convert a dwelling in Hallam Road North for prayers, Hindi and music classes and other gatherings for women and senior citizens.

Residents asked the tribunal to overturn the appeal on the grounds that the centre was unsuitable for a low-density residential site. In her decision, VCAT member Elizabeth Bensz said the society, many of whose 230 members come from Casey, had operated from a converted house in Dandenong for many years with no complaints from neighbours. A maximum of 80 people will be able to visit the centre at any one time.

CEO can keep working Casey councillors last week blocked an attempt to have CEO Mike Tyler suspended from duties until a court case against him is settled. Cr Rosalie Crestani tried to raise the matter as urgent business but councillors voted eight to three against discussing it. Mr Tyler has been summonsed to appear in Dandenong Magistrates Court on April 18 charged with two breaches of the Local Government Act in that he allegedly committed council resources and funds on a matter in which he had a personal interest without notifying the mayor or council. The maximum penalty for each offence is about $16,900.

Work starts on class cinemas Construction of three gold-class Village cinemas and one V-Max cinema has begun at Fountain Gate. The gold-class cinemas, known for luxurious seating and catering, will seat 100 people. The V-Max cinema, with large screens and extra leg room will seat 450.

Gas bottles stolen Twenty-four gas bottles were stolen from Barbeques Galore at the Narre Warren super centre between 7pm on March 27 and 7am the next day. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Police probe suspicious fires Two suspicious fires broke out in the Pakenham area late last month. On March 23 just before midnight, a white Volkswagen van was found burnt out at the Princes Highway weighbridge at Officer. Just after 8pm on March 29 a small fire broke out on land near the Toomuc Creek next to Inspiration Circuit, Pakenham. Residents heard an explosion before the fire started and saw a vehicle leaving the scene a short time later. An explosive device was found on the burnt out land. Anyone with information should call Detective Senior Constable David Mealia on 5945 2500.

Thieves steal big truck A 2010 International white tip truck was stolen from a depot in Mary Street, Pakenham, over Easter. Police say the truck, with registration No. XPO 134, was taken from the depot between 3pm on March 30 and 10.40pm the following day.

Information about the theft or the location of the truck to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit crimestoppers.com.au.

Growers switch to farmers’ markets

BY CATHERINE WATSON ONCE, if their carrots weren’t quite straight or the beetroots not perfectly round, Pearcedale’s Shona and David Crawford had no option but to plough them into the ground. These days their imperfect produce finds a ready home at farmers’ markets around the city.

Like many of the region’s growers and farmers, the Crawfords, who grow smaller bunched items such as Dutch carrots, beetroot and rhubarb, have had to look at new marketing tools in response to drastic changes in Australia’s food supply chain.

While the Crawfords still sell the bulk of their produce through the wholesale market, in recent years they have turned to farmers’ markets where the customers are less fixated on visual perfection than the supermarkets.

Mrs Crawford estimates she has about 1000 customers a month at five farmers’ markets around Melbourne.

Mrs Crawford was one of about 60 people at a Casey forum on starting a south-eastern food

hub last month. She said the biggest challenge for small-to-medium growers was the squeeze the two big supermarkets put on farmers’ profit margins.

The other challenge is looming: later this year, Melbourne’s wholesale fruit and vegetable market shifts from Footscray to Epping. ‘‘From Pearcedale to Epping is a hell of a long drive, especially coming back in peak hour. It’s just not going to be viable for us,” Mrs Crawford said.

Cardinia grower John Hobson said it made sense to establish a south-eastern food hub. ‘‘It would make the process a lot more efficient.’’

Mr Hobson, who grows corn and asparagus on a 25-hectare property, said local growers were disadvantaged by the distance they had to travel to wholesale markets. ‘‘A lot of growers are on this side of town and most produce is available here.’’

Mr Hobson, who has scaled down his operations over the past 10 years, said he now preferred farmers’ markets. ‘‘We do about two farmers’ markets a week. If

HOMEGROWN RESIDENTS, restaurants and retailers would like to buy fresh local produce but they don’t know where to get it.

About 60 growers and others in the food industry who attended a Cranbourne forum heard that a food hub could help link producers with buyers. The project, funded by VicHealth and supported by Casey Council, aims to link producers and consumers in the south-east to improve the lot of both. Local grower Ken Rayner said he supported such an idea but believed it should be in the affluent middle suburbs. ‘‘We used to sell at the Berwick market and we couldn’t make any money.

It needs to be in Hawthorn or Toorak, where people are prepared to spend on good produce.’’

Astra returns in chic Euro mode Ewan Kennedy road tests the latest generation Opel he Astra has starred in Australia for almost three decades, but in various formats. It was first seen here in 1984 as a small car built in Melbourne by Holden and shared with Nissan, which named its vehicles Pulsar.

Holden broke away from Nissan and began to import Astras from Germany where they were built by Opel. Holden Astra badges were fitted and the models were a success for many years, until Holden decided it could cut prices by bringing in cars from Daewoo in South Korea.

But now Astra is back and this time around is true to its roots by carrying Opel badges and being made in Europe.

Astra models now coming to Australia feature the latest in Euro chic shapes.

The entry point to the Opel Astra range is the five-door hatch that is offered in manual and automatic transmissions in both a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel.

Next up is the Opel Astra Select with a larger 1.6 turbo-petrol engine or the 2.0 diesel. Topping the range is the Astra Sport, available in 1.6-litre

T

petrol with manual or automatic transmission.

On the road we were impressed by the stable handling and excellent road-holding of the new Opel Astra. Though Asian car makers are improving, the Europeans are still in the lead.

Ride comfort is good even on dirt roads.

The 1.6-litre petrol engine with an automatic transmission that we tested typically used six to seven litres per hundred kilometres in country and motorway driving. This increased to a still reasonable eight to 10 litres around town.

Prices for the new Opel Astra begin at $23,990 for the manual five-door with a 1.4-litre turbopetrol engine and go all the way up to $35,990 for a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel Tourer wagon. This places it several thousand dollars above typical competitors. The importers are doing this deliberately to try and lift Astra away from the crowd by giving it a more upmarket appeal.

Will Opel succeed with this ambitious plan?

Only time will tell. Sales have been reasonable in the early days, but are far from setting the world on fire.

Going solo: Styling of the German Opel Astra is bang up to date.

Rays stoke up the engine room

BY ROY WARD EFFORT can do amazing things.

In the Dandenong Stingrays’ case it took them to a much-needed TAC Cup win over Eastern Ranges at Bayswater Oval on Saturday in front of a large, vocal crowd.

The Stingrays won 20.14 (134) to 12.14 (86).

After a tight first term the Stingrays lifted their intensity and their tackle count, jumping out to a half-time lead and powering to an impressive win.

Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats said his players were starting to understand the level of effort needed to be competitive at TAC Cup level. ‘‘I’m really impressed with the way they worked really hard right from the start of the game. ‘‘I’m not sure where we are at. We’re still developing the group and still learning about the kids and trying to establish the base acceptance of the work rate required at this level.’’

Yeats said the noticeable increase in the number of tackles showed the Stingrays had lifted their intensity. ‘‘We only had seven or eight tackles in the first quarter and I think we had seven or eight tackles inside our forward 50-metre line in the second quarter. ‘‘So we were able to keep the ball inside our scoring area and obviously got more scoring shots from that pressure.’’

The Stingrays had winners across the

Comets show flair to win first-up clash CASEY Comets negotiated a tough first-up FFV State League 3 South East encounter with a 1-0 win over Peninsula Strikers at Comets Stadium on Saturday.

Despite the Comets suffering an early blow when Paul Presti left the field with a groin injury, they dominated general possession and squandered several early chances.

The Strikers then hit a hiccup of their own when keeper Steve Eleftheriou left the field through injury but Hayden Hicks proved an able replacement.

Despite the action packed first-half the scoreline read 0-0 when the players went to the sheds.

The Comets got a breakthrough in the 60th minute when Matt MorrisThomas finished well after some brilliant lead-up play sliced the Strikers’ defence open. [ 22 ] WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE

Both sides tired heavily towards the end of the match and despite the Comets having several more chances on goal they could not add to their score.

Berwick City recorded a 3-2 victory over Warragal United with Orlando Mejias, Shane Savanah and Pedro Sequeira the scorers.

Casey Comets now face a testing away clash against Heatherton from 6pm on Saturday.

Berwick City is on the road at Nunawading City’s home ground, Mahoneys Reserve, the match starting at 3pm on Saturday.

named best players. McCartney kicked four goals and Jack Soroczynski added three.

Bottom age player Tom Lamb was also impressive at half-forward, setting up a number of attacks and showing clean hands in the forward line. ‘‘We think we have a really good balanced squad, so we never have to rely on any individuals,’’ Yeats said. ‘‘We seek a consistent, across-theboard effort and work rate.’’

Yeats has challenged his players to maintain their efforts. ‘‘Their talent comes with them, but on the back of hard work you can play well and set up the things you’re trying to set up. ‘‘We think we have enough talent.

It’s just a matter of utilising that and getting them to understand that on the back of hard work their talents will shine through.’’

Ranges coach Darren Bewick was disappointed in his side and praised the Stingrays’ intensity. ‘‘To their credit they worked really hard and gave us a lesson on how you should go about it through the midfield. I hope our boys learn from playing against a good team and a good midfield.’’

The TAC Cup has a week off this weekend as Vic Metro and Vic Country squads play trial games ahead of the first game of the AFL under-18 national championships.

The Stingrays host North Ballarat Rebels at Shepley Oval next Saturday at 1pm.

Cavs pull rug from Cougars CASEY Cavaliers have thrown down the challenge to the Big V division 2 men’s competition with a stunning upset of Keysborough in their clash at Springers Leisure Centre on Saturday night.

The Cavs won 71-65 to take their record to 3-0 under Stewart Baird and stamp themselves as a serious contender. ‘‘It was certainly a great result for us. We led the whole way, which was pleasing,’’ Baird said. ‘‘Our first quarter was good and then our second quarter was very good and probably our best all year; I mean that in terms of building the things that we were working on.’’

The Cavs’ second quarter onslaught was led by Sean McKinnon, who dominated the boards.

Jon Hawes was a constant offensive threat to finish the match with a game-high 20 points.

The Cougars trimmed the lead to four points in the third term but the Cavs again lifted and extended it out to 10 points by the final change. The gallant Cougars kept fighting with Kevin Benn (15 points, nine rebounds) and John Constance (nine points), who made several long bombs, the catalyst for the revival.

But the Cavs kept a cool head to stop the challenge and give the Cavs one of their most promising starts to a season in several years. ‘‘In all honesty we have probably exceeded our expectations — we wanted to go better than 50-50,’’ Baird said. ‘‘If you had asked us if we would be 3-0 with one of our wins Keysborough we might have said it wasn’t realistic. I still think Keysborough is the benchmark and when they are playing at their best they are going to be very hard to beat.’’

The Casey Cavaliers division 2 women’s team eclipsed Chelsea Gulls 63-45 with Amy McFarlane (15 points) and Leah Swain (14 points, 19 rebounds) leading the way.

Alexandra Keates was also outstanding for the victors with nine points and 10 rebounds.

The Casey Cavaliers youth league 2 men were due to play Coburg Giants at Cranbourne Basketball Stadium last night.

No Fevola for classic

Tough day: Hampton Park’s Michael McDonald boots the ball forward in their big loss to Doveton on Saturday.

Picture: Wayne Hawkins

Doveton stings hapless Redbacks

BY BRAD McGRATH SATURDAY was meant to be a happy day for Hampton Park but it soon turned into a nightmare.

The Redbacks returned to their renovated home ground Robert Booth Reserve, which had brought optimism back to last year’s wooden spooners.

But Doveton spoiled the parade to record a 200-point victory and showed the gulf in class between the Casey Cardinia League finals contenders and also-rans.

Doveton coach Shannon Henwood said it was a credit to his team that they had put their foot down and blew Hampton Park away despite the temptation to play flashy football. ‘‘I was pretty happy with the way we played. It’s a bit easy to get on top like that and then start lairising — but we still played good team footy,’’ he said.

Doveton booted 6.7 in the opening quarter to blow the game apart and had extended the margin

to 76 points by half-time. Shannon Stocco booted six goals while Henwood (five goals) and ruckman Frank D’Agostino (four) also hit the scoreboard heavily.

With the margin extended to 131 points at the final change the Redbacks desperately needed to fight the contest out.

But as was often the case last season, heads began to drop and Doveton slammed on 12.5 to 1.2 in the final term to run out 36.18 (234) to 4.10 (34) winners.

The only blow for Doveton was Jarrad Boumann injuring a hamstring, with the former Western Bulldogs player to definitely miss their clash against Tooradin-Dalmore. ‘‘It is a bit of a blow but it happens,’’ Henwood said. ‘‘We have just got to move on.’’

Henwood coached his first senior game on Saturday after taking the top job at just 23 years of age and admitted to being nervous.

‘‘I have just got to make sure that I concentrate on playing and still get a kick myself but so far so good.’’

Henwood said he was looking forward to seeing how his team goes against Tooradin-Dalmore at A J Robinson Oval on Saturday week. ‘‘We’ll probably find out where we’re at because they obviously played finals last year,’’ he said.

Beaconsfield will start favourite in its clash against Berwick at Holm Park Reserve with several of its impressive recruits, including Scott Meyer, to be unveiled. Pakenham will be keen to show its improvement under new coach Steve O’Bryan when it clashes with Keysborough, which will also have a point to prove under Chris Bryan.

Tooradin-Dalmore opens its season against ROC at Tooradin Recreation Reserve.

The grand final rematch between Cranbourne and Narre Warren will be played at Kalora Park on Sunday.

Scorpions’ Demons make a winning statement CASEY Scorpions coach Rohan Welsh said his team had been intent on making a statement in its VFL clash against Frankston after another disastrous performance from senior affiliate Melbourne on Saturday night.

The Demons have lost their opening two AFL games by a combined total of 227 points and Welsh said the Melbourne-listed Scorpions players had vowed to put their best foot forward on Sunday and try and give the club an injection of confidence. ‘‘It was pretty good. The pleasing thing from our point of view was the players played in the manner that we sort of asked them,’’ Welsh said. ‘‘I think the Melbourne players sort of wanted to make a bit of a statement — they looked at it like they didn’t play

on Saturday — and they could make a statement.’’

The Scorpions did everything their senior affiliate didn’t, proving too strong in all departments for the Dolphins as they dominated the midfield and converted well in attack to win 23.11 (149) to 12.9 (81). Scorpions ruckmen Max Gawn and Jake Spencer were outstanding as Dolphins ace Russell Gabriel struggled against the dual attack.

The dominant ruck performance resulted in Rohan Bail, Tom Couch and James Magner winning a mountain of possession through the midfield.

Youngster Dean Kent was promising with an impressive goal on the run and Luke Tapscott kicked six goals and had 23 possessions in an impressive display up forward.

Cameron Pederson, who was dropped after Melbourne’s dismal loss to Port Adelaide in round one, was also impressive in defence. Magner and Couch were outstanding in gathering 66 possessions between them and youngster Mitch Clisby was also impressive in his VFL debut.

Melbourne’s star recruit Jesse Hogan, who is not eligible to play AFL until next year, booted two goals and moved well in attack for the Scorpions.

For the Dolphins, Michael Lourey kicked five majors to clearly by their best player, while his former Mt Eliza teammate Sam Lloyd was also impressive.

Casey will take on North Ballarat next Saturday at Eureka Stadium from 2pm.

THE Peninsula League looks to have dodged a bullet with Ovens and Murray spearhead Brendan Fevola unlikely to play in their interleague clash later this year.

The Yarrawonga full-forward is scheduled to play a one-off game with Rockingham Rams in Western Australia’s Peel League on May 26, meaning the burly former Carlton star will not play against the Peninsula League a day earlier.

But newly appointed Peninsula League coach Stephen Ryan knows the O and M will field a strong outfit despite the absence of the Narre Warren product. ‘‘They are a very good league, very strong and have quite a few ex-AFL players playing in the league,’’ he said.

The two country powers will clash for the right to play for the No. 1 ranking in country Victoria next year with the make-up of the Peninsula team to be severely different to previous years. The team was formerly made up of players from the Peninsula, Casey Cardinia and Nepean Leagues but this year the MPNFL has split the three leagues’ representative outfits.

This means players of the ilk of Ashley Eames and Justin Berry will not be available to help the Peninsula League defeat the powerful Ovens and Murray outfit which is likely to include former Richmond players Dean Polo, Craig Ednie and Chris Hyde.

Ryan said he is likely to choose a squad of 40 in the next fortnight before trimming the squad down closer to the game.

He said he is excited at the prospect of coaching the Peninsula League. ‘‘It’s a good opportunity and a good learning curve for me,’’ he said. ‘‘It is a good opportunity for me to get to know the rest of the Peninsula League a bit better. ‘‘It is disappointing that they have broken the team up but I can understand where the VCFL is coming from because the team might be too strong coming from three different leagues.’’

The Casey Cardinia League will be coached by Pakenham premiership mentor Michael ‘Jock’ Holland with Cranbourne coach Doug Koop to be his assistant.

The Casey Cardinia League will clash with Wimmera Football League at Horsham on May 25.

The Nepean League will clash with Heathcote District Football League on May 25 with Dromana coach Gavin Artico taking the reins. His key assistant will be Hastings coach Glenn Michie.
