It was a case of agony and ecstasy for Diggers Rest footballers in Sunday’s RDFL grand final. The Burras’ reserves, including Shane Marchewka and Rhys Hannan (pictured), overcame a final-term deficit to defeat Riddell by nine points. But a poor second quarter ended up costing the senior side. Despite a spirited fightback late in the fourth quarter, the Burras fell seven points short of the club’s first senior premiership in 20 years. ■ SPORT: PAGE 63

BRIEFS police target worst offenders Victoria Police has announced a manhunt for some of the state’s top high-risk offenders. Encompassing Melton, Broadmeadows, Fawkner, Sunshine, Footscray, Box Hill, Dandenong and Geelong, the Critical Incident Response Team will turn up the heat on priority offenders who are avoiding arrest or have a history of violence. Operation Summoning will also involve local police in targeting offenders who are on bail and have strict conditions and curfews to ensure they are not breaching their terms. Acting Senior Sergeant Mick Turner said the operation would put tactical police out into the regions to support local police in dealing with potentially volatile situations. \

trio’s hunger for classroom success sparks show of community spirit What started off as an idea for a university assessment has led to a community food drive helping Melton’s most disadvantaged residents.

Victoria University students Kelly McInerney, Darren Lancaster and Angus Jessel were required to complete the assessment as part of a certificate III in community services.

Their food-drive initiative gained momentum when Kurunjang, Coburn and Melton primary schools came on board to help collect goods. Last week, the trio collected about 400 items from Kurunjang Primary School (pictured), which they will give to emergency food service Combined Churches Caring Melton to distribute.

Ms McInerney said the collection would help many people in Melton who were doing it tough. “The food will be distributed to disadvantaged families and people that meet the criteria, mainly families that might be struggling,” she said.

Mr Jessel said schools had been collecting food for about six weeks.

“Our assessment was all about creating a community project as a group,” he said. “I think we’ve done pretty well, we’ve just got to finish our evaluation.” \ SZ

Residents in Diggers Rest want action taken against large flocks of recently arrived corellas that are destroying electrical wires.

The Cambridge, Coburn and Watts Residents’ Association (CCWRA) is urging Melton council to take up non-lethal measures to remove the native birds.

empty block a hazard

(SUPPLIED)

Maddingley residents who have spent years railing against the unsightly condition of a Lodge Street block say the land is a fire hazard and pest haven.

Cameron Wilson (right), who said rubbish dumped at the site attracted rats that ate $1400 worth of ducting under his house, is demanding action.

“My neighbour across the street complained for three years and has now given up,” he said. “[Moorabool] council told me they’ve had a word to the owners, and all they did was mow around their house.”

Piles of rubbish, discarded timber and truckloads of dirt are scattered around the block bordering Werribee Vale Road and Peppertree Park. “my Mr Wilson said he first approached neighbour the council with his concerns last October, and was put in contact with complained a fire-safety officer who agreed that for three piles of wood were a fire hazard. years” The land is owned by a South Melbourne developer who applied to have 26 units built on it. However, indigenous bones were discovered during a cultural heritage survey, meaning the applicant was required to assemble a heritage plan.

The matter has been referred to the Wathaurung Aboriginal Corporation.

The registered Aboriginal party has recommended that the number of dwellings be reduced to 14.

In a report to councillors, a spokesman from council’s planning department confirmed they had relayed Mr Wilson’s concerns to the landowners on several occasions. “[They] have been seeking advice as to the extent of tidying that may take place given the site’s significance,” the spokesman said.

“It has recently been determined that the site may be tidied, however, no earthworks may take place.”

Cr Allan Comrie said piles of rubbish looked “awful”. “Council have written to them about the state of the land, but whatever is done to solve it hasn’t lasted,” he said.

The developer did not return requests for comment. \ PRISCILLA MOCA

When governments talk of “immigration”, they inevitably refer to asylum seekers and refugees. But their numbers are small compared to skilled immigration and family reunions. While unemployment growth slows and jobs are getting harder to find, incredibly, our skilled immigration rates keep rising.

Migrants are imported under the assumption that our economy is growing and their skills are needed.

They end up in long waiting queues, paying high mortgage rates stuck in the congestion and queues for public services. Our economy is showing signs of fraying at the edges and causing Third-World rates of deprivation in fringe suburbs.

Moorabool council is slowly but surely improving in terms of community engagement, according to a recent survey.

The 2013 community satisfaction survey showed a slight improvement in two key measures compared to 2012.

The council’s overall performance score of 58 topped last year’s 57. The score for overall council direction (51) was two points higher than last year.

Council chief executive Rob Croxford said while it was still “early days” under a new survey method, he was hopeful it could become a useful tool to track communities’ attitudes over time.

“These surveys will gain relevance over the longer term as the year-to-year variances are tracked to determine any definitive trend,” Mr Croxford said. “For now, the 2013 survey provides a snapshot into the community’s view and indicates the relative importance the community places on a range of our daily activities. This is useful in our organisational planning.”

Chris Sharkey, a Balliang East farmer who was part of a recent rates discussion involving farmers and the council, said areas of concern included the council’s complaints process

and rising rates. “I think they could be more efficient, so our rates aren’t continuously increasing. They are working on it, though.”

Moorabool council repeated its 2012 customer service score of 68 in the latest survey. The survey also revealed that opinions of council’s advocacy (52) and community consultation (51) decreased from 54 in both categories in the 2012 survey.

Municipal Association of Victoria president Bill McArthur said results for the state’s councils were generally solid, despite there always being room for improvement.

“I doubt any other level of government could boast that seven in 10 people are happy with the overall direction, so this is a positive result for Victorian councils,” he said.

Mr McArthur said while the results were generally pleasing, councils needed to remain flexible and responsive.

“Change must be expected of every level of government if we are to meet the expectations, priorities and 21st century needs of our communities.”

The annual community satisfaction survey is commissioned by the state government.

About 400 interviews of Moorabool residents were completed between February 1 and March 24 this year. \ PRISCILLA MOCA

Residents will no longer have to travel out of town for scans after the arrival of a new X-ray machine at Ballan Health and Care.

The imaging facility, which opened last week, will be available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and can take full body scans.

“It means people don’t have to travel an extended distance in pain,” said hospital spokeswoman Triss O’Keefe. ‘‘For example, a little child breaks their arm or has a suspected fracture, and instead of having to drive them 30 minutes away to be looked at in Bacchus Marsh or Ballarat, they can come straight here.

“It’ll shorten the time they’re in pain, which is especially important for the elderly and children.”

The imaging facility was added as part of a $2-million state government plan to redevelop and expand the community-run hospital.

An additional $400,000 was raised through community pledges, with further money generated by fund-raising events and philanthropic donations. \ PRISCILLA MOCA

vacant billing a ‘rort’

(MARK SMITH)

A Melton resident has been told he must pay a hefty water bill for a vacant block of land that has no water connected to it.

Peter Smilek (pictured) said he was shocked last week to receive a $326.30 bill for the vacant Melton South block he bought in July.

The bill has three separate charges – $89.16 for water service availability, $202.23 for sewerage service and $34.91 for waterways.

Mr Smilek said he and his wife planned to build a house on the land and move in next year.

He said it was unfair he was being asked to pay for water charges when he was not living on the property.

“All I’ve got is a vacant block and [Western Water] say I’m going to have to pay it whether I like it or not,” he said.“What a rort. We’ve got enough bills to contend with – we’re currently paying for water where we live now.

“Why do you have to pay for something that you haven’t used?”

A Western Water spokesman said that under the Water Act, residents were required to pay a service availability charge, even on vacant land.

“If your property is not yet connected to our water, recycled water and or/sewer services but is able to access our pipe network, the property is assessed as a serviced property,” he said. “Therefore availability charges apply for each service that is available. If charges did

‘no respect’ for bridge

Temporary carers needed!

“Maintenance works including grass mowing, rubbish and graffiti removal were carried out in the last month and are scheduled to be completed again in the coming months before the fire season.”

Melton Environment Group spokesman Daryl Akers said residents who came across any illegal dumping or environmental vandalism should contact the relevant council.

“It’s not within their jurisdiction, but often they’ll do something about it themselves if it looks really bad and take it further.” \ PM

blasts from the past (MARK SMITH)

Land surrounding the original Djerriwarrh Creek bridge that connects Toolern Vale and Coimadai is being used as a dumping ground by “thoughtless” people, with residents also frustrated by maintenance and graffiti issues. “[It’s] such an iconic bridge with historical significance to the area, and people have no respect for it at all,” said Susanne Austin, who works in Bacchus Marsh and uses the bridge regularly.

The bridge is more than 150 years old and has undergone extensive repairs in recent years as part of road works at Anthonys Cutting.

Moorabool mayor Pat Toohey said it was VicRoads’ responsibility to care for this “important” area, and that he believed signage could be improved.

VicRoads acting regional director Damien Afxentis said signs had been installed at the site to deter people from illegally dumping rubbish. He said VicRoads will review signage in the area and replace any damaged signs by the end of September.

“Every effort is being made to improve the appearance of the site, with regular inspections and maintenance works being completed,” Mr Afxentis said.

ompulsive, destructive vices are rampant in Western countries. For some, it’s nicotine, alcohol or marijuana. For others, it’s a pornography addiction, or a proclivity to gamble away a week’s wages in 30 minutes. What sets those with a food addiction apart is that they are physically forced to carry the heavy burden through being overweight or obese.

“They wear their binge,” says Associate Professor Gerard Kennedy of Victoria University. “These habits provide relief from psychological distress. It can be depression, loneliness or feelings of helplessness or hopelessness.”

The weight gain, however, solidifies the cycle of misery and bingeing, and being overweight is linked to intensified risks of problems such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

It’s a growing problem, with a Deakin University study of women living on Australia’s east coast finding morbid obesity had increased by 68 per cent between 1997 and 2008.

In 2011-12, 63 per cent of Australian adults were overweight or obese, as were a quarter aged five to 17, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Compulsive overeaters don’t just go all out on dessert occasionally or pig out at a dinner party. Binge-eaters often eat huge amounts.

“We hear stories of people going to the supermarket at 11pm, buying a four-litre bucket of ice cream and downing the whole thing,” says “Elaine”, a member of Overeaters Anonymous (OA) in Melton.

To be classified as an overeater, a person must overeat at least once a week for three months. They often eat alone because they’re embarrassed about how much they are consuming.

“What follows is usually shame or disappointment, or questioning why they did it,” says Kennedy.

“When you speak to many obese people, they tend to say things like ‘when I lose 20 kilos I’m going to go out and have a good time’. And it’s a dangerous cycle where they won’t go out in places because they’re aware of their weight, which creates depression and encourages behaviours like staying home and eating away. Which will mean more weight gain.”

Elaine says many OA members have faced this their whole lives. “It hugely affects daily life. The minute you start

Before the procedure, DiVito was diagnosed with diabetes, which disappeared within a month of the surgery. She has also suffered depression.

“Although I still grapple with it, I haven’t had the problems I had in the past. Being treated differently because I’m not so huge has helped,” she says. “I’d be ignored in shops, glared at on the train. I felt like I had to be apologetic for being in someone’s space because I was just so big.”

DiVito says that while you need to address the psychological aspect of overeating, the banding helped her focus on her goal to lose weight.

“You need to work out why you’re overeating, why you’re not as active as you can be. It’s not the magic wand or pill, but it’s allowed me to get it under control.”

The federal president of the Australian Medical Association, Steve Hambleton, says bariatric surgery is only part of the solution and shouldn’t be seen as a panacea for a lifetime of overeating. “Lifestyle changes and diet still need to be applied in order for it to be successful,” he says.

Kennedy says people often play the blame game in dealing with obesity, and it shouldn’t be put down to a “weakness of character”.

“Some people are made to carry more weight. I’ve told patients it’s better to be a little larger and happy than battling to be skinny all the time and completely miserable.

“If that’s not you, you’re fighting a losing battle. If you are healthily large, make sure you don’t get larger, and stick to healthy eating patterns.” \ pmoca@mmpgroup.com.au SEPTEMBER 17, 2013 \ MELTON & MOORABOOL WEEKLY 13

Sydenham teenager Mikhaela Cugliari has put everything on hold as she prepares for this weekend’s grand final of the Best of the West singing competition.

“Singing always comes first – all else is pushed aside,” Mikhaela, 14, says.

She admits that while it can be difficult to balance her love for singing with her schoolwork and social life, singing is her top priority. “[Singing] is always something that I’ve loved and won’t stop doing.”

While Mikhaela has a strong sense of self-belief, she’s well aware of how difficult the recording industry can be. “I know that it is a really hard industry, but it is something that I’ll try my hardest to get into.”

Mikhaela says the western-suburbs competition has been a great experience for her. “It is a chance to learn from other people, and it helps to build your confidence.”

The grand final is on Saturday at the WestWaters Hotel in Caroline Springs.

ore than 90 per cent of the Cathedral Ranges State Park burnt in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. Today, most of the trees are still black and some look more like precarious charcoal sculptures ready to be blown away by the next gust of wind.

That said, the scenery in the Cathedral Ranges is dramatic and quickly changing as the forest floor continues to repair itself after the fires.

The scenery varies dramatically from dense fern forests full of wildflowers and uprooted trees clad with wild mushrooms, to the always muddy and sodden creek trail, to the rocky summit with an abundance of spiny bushes and sun-bleached, windswept trees.

About 2½ hours north-east of Melbourne and about 15 minutes from Marysville, just off the Maroondah Highway, the Cathedral Range State Park is home to the two best day walks Victoria has on offer.

Once you tackle either walk, you’ll see why this little-known, steep and rocky mountain range is widely regarded as one of the most diverse, scenic, challenging and still accessible day-walking destinations in the state.

It’s a real hiker’s mountain.

There are two main trails – the northern circuit and the southern circuit. The southern circuit is much more difficult and better suited to more experienced hikers.

Sugarloaf Peak, the notorious Razorback Ridge and Wells Cave are all on the southern circuit.

The northern circuit also has its difficult sections, but it is more forgiving and doesn’t force you to scramble up near-vertical cliff faces like its southern equivalent.

In my opinion, Cathedral’s northern circuit is the perfect introduction to full-day hikes, which will challenge your fitness and your wit.

In total, the 15-kilometre circuit will take at least six hours to complete with a total elevation of 840 metres.

There are two preferable starting points; Cooks Mill and Neds Gully. Both are hike-in and drive-in camping grounds with rainwater tanks and toilets.

footwear \ The majority of this hike is on loose rocks, uneven sandstone, boggy mud and giant boulders, so you will not be able to complete this hike in a pair of runners. Waterproof boots with ankle support and quick-dry mountain socks are a must.

From the get-go, the track doesn’t beat around the bush (pardon the pun). From Cooks Mill car park, enjoy the short descent to Jawbone Creek before the long and relentless climb up Cathedral’s eastern slope.

Three-quarters of the way up is The Farmyard hike-in pause point/camp spot. This small plateau, with a well-used fire pit, is the overnight stop of choice for people walking both circuits in two days.

When the bush finally opens up and you step out onto the seven-kilometre long Cathedral Ridge, you learn quickly to keep your footing. This is definitely the highlight of the hike as some sections feel as narrow as a metre wide with almost sheer drops on either side.

The traverse, almost a kilometre above sea level, involves some pretty athletic boulder hopping and the orange guiding pointers, which by now will be familiar, are much less conspicuous up here, so keep a sharp eye out and do not rush it.

Apart from staying on the track, it’s also worth slowing the pace to appreciate the constant

from the get-go, the track doesn’t beat around the bush

jaw-dropping view of Lake Mountain, Sugarloaf Peak and the farmlands on either side.

As you pass Cathedral Peak and eventually branch off from the ridge, take the time to visit Little Cathedral Peak. It involves another steep climb, but it is arguably the best view on the entire walk.

Descending back on the eastern slope to Neds Gully, a dense rainforest setting on soft, mossy terrain is a welcome relief for the ankles and knees after a couple of hours navigating the uneven boulders of the ridge.

The remainder of the hike is a leisurely stroll along the Little River Track from Neds Gully back to your car. But it is here where the most dramatic scenery change takes place – hectares of tree logging fields rotting under the façade of Jawbone Peak.

Admittedly, it is not what you’d expect at the end of what is otherwise a very untouched and organic trek, and it just highlights how dramatic and contrasting the landscapes are here. \ emorton@theweeklyreview.com.au

DECANTER \ BEN THOMAS RAISES THE WHITE FLAG

O

f all the grapes in all the land, chardonnay is currently Australia’s best performer.

Chardonnay from the cool regions in southern Australia has been receiving rave reviews all around the world. It’s my favourite white by a fair stretch, too.

Curiously, chardonnay isn’t a wine that’s naturally loaded with flavour. It’s actually quite neutral, but in the hands of a skilled winemaker it can reach soaring heights.

You’ll find lemon, grapefruit, citrus blossom and stonefruit characters in most Australian chardonnays, but every region has its own flavour profile. The differences between these regional styles of chardonnay offer something for every white wine drinker.

The maritime climate of the Mornington Peninsula plays a big part in the flavour profile and structure of its chardonnay. Cooling sea breezes keep daytime temperatures down and help grapes to retain acidity better than warm wine regions.

“Chardonnay’s the king of the white grapes. It’s the most malleable white grape there is, with great potential in terms of flavours and mouthfeel. We’re looking for elegance and texture with our chardonnay,” Stonier winemaker Mike Symons says.

According to Symons, this leads to a citrus character that runs through the peninsula’s chardonnay.

“They’re not sweet-fruited chardonnays, but savoury, with lemon and citrus flavours plus exotic characters I see that are in the other maritime climates around Australia.”

When Adam Wadewitz moved to Shaw + Smith at the beginning of the year – and the start of this year’s grape harvest – he had shiraz and pinot noir on his mind. The quality of the chardonnay grapes took him by surprise.

“Chardonnay shines the brightest up here,” says Wadewitz, who is Shaw + Smith’s chief winemaker.

“The Adelaide Hills as a region is so diverse: climate, elevation, rainfall and aspect all play a role. Chardonnay from higher sites, such as Piccadilly, Lenswood and Summertown that are above 500 metres, are really defined by their acid.

“There’s an effortless density of flavour that stays with the wines. They’re not skinny wines like Chablis or pronounced like a Puglingy-Montrachet, but there’s a grunt to Adelaide Hills chardonnay.”

POWER \ MARGARET RIVER

(SUPPLIED)

STRUCTURE AND CITRUS \ MORNINGTON PENINSULA

FLAVOUR DENSITY \ ADELAIDE HILLS

STONEFRUIT AND MELON \ YARRA VALLEY

Hoddles Creek winemaker Franco d’Anna says Yarra Valley chardonnay has come full circle in the past four years.

“It was a bigger style, swung to lean and now it’s heading towards the middle, with more flavour and intensity. Yarra Valley chardonnay can sit in the middle of those styles and do it really well,” d’Anna says.

“We’ve moved away from citrus and grapefruit and more back to stonefruit – light ones rather than getting into peach territory – with a little bit of melon with some citrus notes as well.”

“it’s the most malleable white grape there is”

“In the past 20 years, like a lot of Australian wineries, we’ve moved away from the heavily oaked, full-bodied wines and there’s now a trend to picking earlier with lower alcohols and natural acidity,” Juniper Estate winemaker Mark Messenger says.

There’s a particular clone of chardonnay that’s widely planted in Margaret River – mendoza, or gin gin – which gives Margaret River chardonnay a powerful intensity. “The overriding character of Margaret River chardonnay is mid-palate fruit power – you get mid-palate fruit sweetness with the mendoza clone as well as length,” Messenger says. \ bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au TO READ MORE REVIEWS

PROPERTY OF THE WEEK

MELTON WEST \ 14 FIDDLEWOOD TURN Best described as pared-back Georgian style with a hip roof behind a heightened façade, this is the type of house that will appeal to people looking for uncompromising, no-frills architecture.

Inside, it has a typically modern layout with a neutral decor offset by glossy floating floorboards and plush, soft-hued carpets.

At the moment, the home of almost 50 squares is heavily furnished but looking past that reveals lots of space, high

ceilings and quality finishes – and its pristine presentation (inside and out) makes it ready for an easy move-in day.

To the left of entry is an open, carpeted lounge room and, opposite, an open, carpeted study with closet and internet wiring. The entry hall then heads left to storage closets (there’s lots of storage throughout), a slick powder room and garage access.

The living hub at the back comprises kitchen, family-meals area and, through double doors, a carpeted rumpus/theatre room.

With storage beneath, carpeted stairs lead to a carpeted living room, around which are four bedrooms, a walk-in closet, powder room and a sleek bathroom with corner spa.

Through double doors, the big main bedroom has pretty views over Mikasa Rise estate and the mountain range beyond.

wall and a resort-style en suite has dual raised vanity bowls.

The family room opens to a tiled pergola area. Lawn space is dotted with shrubs and fruit trees and colourful perennials march along the Colorbond fenceline.

The property of about 700 square metres has a double garage with remote control and back roller-door to a large, concreted parking spot, a garden shed and a 2100-litre water tank. A bus stop is close by and parkland is at the end of the street. \ CAROLE LEVY

By Appointment 314 High Street, Melton. 9743 9743 David How 0419 314 103

Mr David How Sweeney 314 High Street, Melton

Dear David, Both Alan and I would like to express our sincere appreciation of your efforts in securing the sale of our home at 5 Garrard Crt Melton South.

Our decision to sell our beautiful home was one that we contemplated very seriously. The major factor in our contemplations was ‘which agent can we entrust to inform prospective buyers as to the special home we know it to be’.

Therefore, the task of calling Real Estate Agents began! With property markets being somewhat erratic, we were insistent in being vendors on a mission and engaging an agent who would exceed our expectations of service levels. Subsequent to speaking with several agents and receiving conflicting opinions, Alan and I were undecided as to what we should do.

Luck was on our side from the moment we called your mobile number after seeing it on a ‘Sweeney for Sale’ sign. Your courteous attention and pleasant nature gave us the comfort from the onset that you were genuinely interested in helping us. The impression given to us from both yourself and Garry was more than professional, it was transparent and respectful at all times. Your ability impressed us enormously to identify the finer details of our home which you observed and accordingly informed the buyers.

Whilst the saying is ’there is buyer for every home’, we are of the opinion it is paramount to engage the right agent. As vendors, we wanted our home to be sold for what it was worth and to buyers who understood what they were getting for their money. You have accurately made this whole experience an absolute pleasure and we cannot thank you enough.

Sweeney Estate Agents deliver an unparalleled level of service coupled with market intuition and knowledge that is second to none.

In closing David, we are sincerely appreciative and excited to have now purchased a block of land through Sweeney.

You have set the ‘standards’ very high and we only hope that we receive the same levels of service through our selected builder.

We wish that Sweeney also ‘built’ homes as we have sincerely enjoyed the ride.

Warmest Regards Ellen and Alan Follow us on 24 MELTON & MOORABOOL WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 17, 2013

Another priority, explains Farrugia, is their support of the community and one way they do that is by employing local people.

The team, including assistant manager and head mechanic Gavin Mead, has many happy customers, including Angie from Melton South, who writes: “They are friendly and when they say how much time they need to do their job they are spot on with the timing so I’m not waiting for very long. The prices are good too.”

Farrugia has owned the business for six of the 30 years it’s been in the community, and it is a Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (VACC) accredited tyre dealership.

hen it comes to choosing tyres, two things are important: safety and choice of brands; Tyre Power in Melton sees these twin focuses as paramount to the success of the business.

The independently owned dealership is part of a 60-store network across Victoria and 250 within Australia which gives the business unparalleled access to a range of tyres.

“Our product range sets us apart from the competition,” owner and manager Mark Farrugia says. “We have the largest variety of tyres, with brands including Toyo, Kumho, Kelly, Dunlop, Goodyear, Pirelli, Michelin, Falken, Continental and Maxxis. And we are the fastest growing fleet provider.”

Tyre Power sells and fits a variety of tyres and batteries for cars, 4WDs and trucks and performs wheel alignments, suspension and brake checks, mechanical repairs and logbook servicing.

“Fitting the appropriate tyre to a vehicle to ensure safety for its passengers is our top priority.”

redbacks rise to finals brilliance

BRIEFS

RDNL a grade

A rush of Romsey goals early in the final quarter of Sunday’s Riddell District Netball League A-grade grand final guaranteed the Redbacks a third premiership in four years.

The burst of eight unanswered goals set up a 50-38 win over Melton Centrals and capped a finals series in which the Redbacks looked far better than an unspectacular home-and-away record that saw them finish fifth.

Romsey led by 10 goals in the third quarter before a Centrals comeback saw the gap close to three at three-quarter time. Romsey responded with a seven-minute stretch of eight unanswered goals that opened a match-winning 11-goal lead by the mid-stages of the final term.

Romsey’s best-on-court, Toni Lind, enjoyed a near-flawless day in centre, while playing coach Danni Davidson was equally composed and clean at wing attack.

Goaler Hope Hamilton rarely missed on her way to 42 goals from 49 attempts.

Centrals looked a spent force until Ryan medallist Renee Hulls was swung from attack to defence in the third quarter.

But after returning to the goal circle to chase the game in the last quarter, Hulls suffered a calf tear and was benched for the rest of the game. \ TEO PELLIZZERI

burras dig deep for magic win rdfl reserves

A stirring final-quarter comeback saw Diggers Rest overcome a 19-point three-quarter time deficit to beat Riddell 10.9 (69) to 8.12 (60) in the Riddell District Football League reserves grand final.

The first half was tightly contested, with the Burras leading by nine points at the long break, having made more of their opportunities over the first hour of play.

But the Bombers tightened up in the third quarter and then stepped up a gear, kicking the only four goals of the term as the listless Burras struggled against a slight breeze.

The start of the fourth quarter delivered an arm wrestle before the Burras’ Andrew Gleeson was taken high 10 metres out and goaled.

Diggers Rest drew agonisingly closer. Joey Piccolo had two chances and missed both before pouncing on a loose ball in the goal square to put the Burras in front.

Glen Caton kicked the sealer, while Daniel McCabe, who injured his ankle early in the game, was sensational at the other end, taking several game-saving marks late.

Coach Dave Tyquin said it was a big moment for the success-starved club.

“It’s magic – it’s been a long time coming,” he said.

Tyquin described McCabe’s efforts as “brilliant”.

“He did his ankle in the first 10 minutes and I really didn’t want him out there,” the coach said.

“I told him to come off with 10 minutes to go but he wasn’t coming off.

“He went down back and took some telling marks. He was brilliant. He reckons he’s probably got a broken ankle.”

In the under-18.5s grand final, Riddell stunned Rupertswood to win by a point.

bombers overflow with cup of joy rdfl seniors

Riddell players and coaching staff didn’t have far to run when the siren sounded on the Riddell District Football League season on Sunday at Lancefield Park.

The ball was just a few metres from their bench as the Bombers, premiers for the first time since 2010, erupted in joy.

That delight followed an intense and dramatic grand final in which Diggers Rest was beaten 14.5 (89) to 12.10 (82).

The Burras were a shattered, desolate group as they watched the victors celebrate, having closed within striking distance of Riddell in the dying moments.

With about two minutes to go, the Burras’ Josh Robertson streamed into goal. Six points would have put Diggers within two and sent the ball back to middle with just enough time remaining for one more forward thrust.

It was a moment of incredible tension

Diggers Rest’s two goals for the term, with the pair kicking eight of the side’s 12 goals between them.

Tuckey kept Diggers Rest in the game when the supply came his way. He finished with a bag of five.

But if Diggers Rest had clear targets, Riddell kept its opponent guessing by regularly rotating players through the forward and back lines. Nolan played as a loose man in defence in front of Tuckey at times, while Jarrod Silvester also spent time on Tuckey.

It worked a treat, giving the Bombers a plethora of forward options, whether they were tall marking targets or ready and willing smaller crumbers. \ DP » For more action shots of the game and reaction after the final siren see Shawn Smits’ action gallery at www. macedonrangesweekly.com.au

early defence, bad second quarter led to diggers’ downfall diggers rest coach: jamie elliott

Diggers Rest coach Jamie Elliott asked of himself and the playing group to leave the playing field with “no doubts” they had done everything they could to secure the club’s first senior premiership in 20 years.

However, despite a spirited fightback late in the final term, the Burras fell short of the grand prize that has proved so elusive.

“I said before the game we don’t want any doubts in our minds at the end of it,” Elliott said.

“Did I run hard enough, did I do the right things all the time, and there’s probably a few blokes who had doubts at the end. As a coach I don’t think I’ve fulfilled my end of it.

“In the last quarter I thought we still had a chance, we had the run and the legs. We probably went a bit defensive early and I’ll take the blame for that.

“The boys were game and gutsy but I don’t think everyone to the letter had no doubts in their mind at the end of the game.”

Elliott lamented a poor second quarter from his side, in which they allowed the Bombers to kick seven goals and get out to what proved to be a match-winning 22-point lead at half-time.

“Going sideways, turning the footy over, the pressure wasn’t good enough in the second quarter and it was pretty disappointing,” he said. “They’re a quality side and you can’t give a side like that a quarter of footy.

“After half-time once we started to win the footy through the midfield we looked pretty good and I thought we looked dangerous every time we got it forward quickly enough, but it wasn’t good enough and we got back to the drawing board.” \ DP
