commuters still waiting for response to duplication demands TRAIN PAIN

Melton commuters say they are sick of squashing onto trains “like sardines”. Residents list regular delays on the Melton train line and a lack of seats to deal with a growing population as daily hassles. Adam Craig, who travels to the city by train five days a week, said the duplication of the line to Melton was needed now. “Duplication would be part of the resolution of the issue, because you’d be able to run more services,” he said. Cambridge, Coburn and Watts Residents Association secretary Michael Matalewski said Melton residents were constantly bringing up transport and infrastructure concerns. “It’s a big discussion point, not just in Melton but Rockbank and Caroline Springs not having a proper station. “It’s ridiculous that people have to have standing room only. “There needs to be electrification and duplication as soon as possible. ‘‘These are things that people wanted years ago. Quite frankly the government isn’t meeting demands.” \ SZ

A total of $243 million is urgently needed to fix Melton’s public transport woes, a damning report reveals. Auditor-General John Doyle’s report into transport infrastructure and services in growth areas, released last Wednesday, found that public transport and roads in growth areas such as Melton, Hume and Wyndham have been inadequately funded by successive state governments. The report shows Melton residents have the worst access to public transport. Residents in the municipality have access to 1.5 public transport routes per 10,000 people – half

Moorabool council will reconsider plans to make volunteer fire brigades and the SES ineligible for a community grants scheme, after the proposal prompted a large community backlash. Members of the shire’s 22 fire brigades expressed their disappointment at the draft proposal during last week’s council meeting. Other “ineligible” groups under the draft policy include primary and secondary schools, churches and political parties. Former councillor Michael Tudball, who is also a member of the local SES brigade, said there was “no rationale” for discriminating against Moorabool’s emergency services volunteers. “There’s so many things done that go unrecognised in our work as community groups, not just as emergency services. These groups meet all the criteria except the one that says they’re now ineligible.” The council has allocated $140,000 for the grants program in the 2013-14 budget, which Mr Tudball pointed out was 0.3 per cent of a $46 million budget. “A $5000 grant to any of these groups is just 0.01 per cent of that budget,” he said. “It’s unfair the sleight of a pen can deny them a grant.” Bacchus Marsh SES deputy controller Bill Robson said the unit was disappointed but was hopeful of a resolution. “We understand the budget is tight, but from our perspective we see ourselves as a community group,” he said. Mayor Pat Toohey was receptive to feedback. He said it was why draft policies were required to “lay on the table” until the next council meeting. Former mayor Pat Griffin said such decisions should not be made “on a councillor’s whim”. “We’re all community members, we’re all ratepayers who gather together to help better our community.” \ PRISCILLA MOCA

We couldn’t find his owners, and it sort of grew from him.” The trio are experienced horseriders and animal rights enthusiasts, with Brittany and Dean employed full-time at Mick Price Racing as stablehands and strappers. “Our thoughts were we’ve got the licence, we’ve got the land, so let’s do what we love most and spend time with the animals,” Brittany said. “they Forever After has been officially don’t open for only a few weeks, though deserve to be the Cheesemans have been taking in abandoned” animals for six months as their network has expanded. “We mainly look after livestock, anything that can potentially go to a knackery.” Brittany said she was waiting for a delivery of 50 broiler chickens. “They’re just seen as meat and injected with hormones until they can’t move any more and their legs collapse. “We don’t say ‘don’t eat meat’, but there’s a humane way to do things. They don’t deserve to be abandoned, not fed, tortured, and that’s what we see every day. Horses that haven’t been fed for six months whose feet are so overgrown that they can’t walk.” Brittany said while the running costs of Forever After were high, it was “so worth it”. She encouraged anyone who came across an abandoned or injured animal to contact the farm. “Let’s give them the forever after they may not otherwise get. We’re not the RSPCA or an adoption agency, we just want to keep the animals here where we know they’ll be happy.” \ PM

TREELOPPING PETITION (Weekly, August 13): Trees are an integral part of our streetscapes but can pose a threat if they grow too close to powerlines. In 2012, more than 3500 power outages were caused by vegetation touching powerlines, which is why Victoria has regulations to ensure adequate clearance is maintained. The clearance required is calculated on criteria such as whether the powerline is in a high or low bushfire risk area, whether it is high or low voltage and the distance between power poles. Contrary to your story, changes to the regulations in 2010 did not

my shout increase the clearance required between trees and powerlines. They altered the way clearances in low bushfire risk areas were calculated to be generally less than before and made it easier for councils to calculate required clearances. What has changed over the past few years is the expectation by state governments that councils and distribution businesses will comply with the code. Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) has a renewed mandate to ensure this happens – but in a manner that best balances environment, amenity, reliability and cost while ensuring safety is not compromised. Where there are trees of significance, distribution businesses and councils can apply to ESV to review the required clearance distances at that location provided a safe outcome can still be achieved. I understand the distribution business responsible for maintaining vegetation clearances in the township of Ballan has applied to ESV for consideration of alternative clearance distances, with the council

Ten days out from the most important federal election since the Howard era ended, big-picture achievements stand to be undermined by an election campaigned on parochial hip pockets. Tony Abbott’s backing of the Napthine government’s east-west road tunnel and its Port of Hastings-Dandenong freight axis come at the expense of critically needed public transport infrastructure extensions to the booming ’burbs of Melbourne’s west and north. A new Auditor-General’s report slams the state government inaction on transport solutions for Melbourne’s growth areas. The report calls for a realistic and effective wholeof-government approach – this election needs to deliver just that: a government of the people and for the people. \ HELEN GRIMAUX

Main Street’s upgrade seen as a winner for everyone

(SHAWN SMITS)

BACCHUS MARSH

At this time of year, Sunbury and District Grape Growers Association would normally be preparing for the biggest annual event on its calendar – the Sunbury Region Wine and Food Festival. But this year’s festival will be later than usual, on October 27. Association president Peter Simmie [pictured right with Chris Smith of Galli Estates] said the later date is expected to attract a bigger audience. “Hopefully, with better weather and a different venue in Rupertswood Mansion, [previously it was held at Craiglee Vineyard] more people will come,” he said. “Normally we get 200. This time we hope to get 2000.” Mr Simmie said the association wanted to make the festival — for winegrowers from Bulla, Clarkefield, Sunbury, Keilor, Diggers Rest, Rockbank, Parwan, Melton and Bacchus Marsh — more than just about wine, with food tastings, children’s activities and a nursery.

Reforms tipped to lift rural growth

(SHAWN SMITS)

PLANNING

Reforms affecting green-wedge zones in Melton and rural zones in Moorabool will simplify planning and boost agricultural production, according to Planning Minister Matthew Guy. “The [changes] will encourage primary production uses at the same time as maintaining protection from inappropriate urban development,” he said. New green-wedge and green-wedge A zones will be targeted as areas for increased agricultural production, with changes designed to encourage farm-based business. Moorabool does not have green-wedge zones, but changes to rural and farming areas will encourage agricultural use of land, according to council CEO Rob Croxford. “[They’ll] provide greater flexibility to use land for rural industries and employment-generating activities, including tourism, agricultural services and the sale of produce through farm-gate outlets,” he said. \ PM

local elections in review spotlight

pole balloons signal murderer’s life in jail

MELTON

BACCHUS MARSH

The local government election process will be reviewed as part of a state government plan to boost voter turnout and reduce complaints. Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell announced the statewide review after last October’s elections were plagued by low participation rates, confusion about voting methods and complaints about candidate conduct. In Cambridge Ward, 68 per cent of enrolled residents voted, compared with 71 per cent in 2008. The turnout was also lower in Coburn (from 72 per cent to 66 per cent) and Watts (from 73 per cent to 71 per cent). A total of 72 candidates stood for seven seats on council. Melton’s acting chief executive Maurie Heaney said the council looked forward to contributing to the review. “Council welcomes the review into the local government electoral system, particularly any improvements that can be made to increasing public understanding and awareness of elections and candidates and ways to increase participation,” he said. Ms Powell said the review, which will be completed by April, would return integrity to council elections. \ SZ

Pink balloons were tied to a power pole on Bacchus Marsh’s Main Street last week after the man who murdered Sarah Cafferkey was sentenced to life in prison with no parole. Supreme Court Justice Kevin Bell said Steven James Hunter, 47, now convicted of murdering two women, did not deserve to ever be released back into the community after accepting responsibility for “this most heinous crime”. Justice Bell said the murder of Ms Cafferkey, 22, on November 10 last year showed Hunter’s propensity for extreme violence from which the community, especially young women, needed protection. Chief Crown prosecutor Gavin Silbert SC had urged the judge to jail Hunter for life without parole because the murder of Ms Cafferkey was one of the worst of its kind. Defence barrister Tim Marsh had argued while Hunter realised he would have to receive a lengthy prison sentence, he should be given some hope of release when he was “an old man and a spent force” because of his early guilty plea and the fact he knew what he had done was wrong and had shown some remorse. \ PM with The Age

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR – CR KATHY MAJDLIK The complaint alleged that I offered failed election candidate Mr Nathan Miles Council funding for better animal management policies in exchange for his second preferences, and for the third preferences of another failed candidate, Ms Bianca Stewart. I never offered any such incentive.

I was recently advised by the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate that following initial investigation, no further action will be taken in relation to �� made against me. I welcome the news that the baseless allegations made against me have been proven exactly that. I have never conducted myself in an inappropriate or illegal manner when campaigning for election to the Melton City Council. I have been disappointed by what appears to be a deliberate and cowardly attempt to smear my reputation, both in the accusation itself and subsequent anonymous representations to the press, to pursue what I consider a personally and politically motivated vendetta.

A Proud Community Growing Together

I believe that the allegations were a personal attack from a failed candidate after I decided during the election to change my preferences. I understand that the Inspectorate performs an important function within Local Government and must treat every allegation of an alleged breach of the Local Government Act seriously. They carried out their responsibilities in relation to this matter in a way that was expected.

EMERGING COMMUNITIES

Building strong trust between police and new communities in Brimbank and Melton has been Moses Lado’s passion for nearly four years. The emerging communities liaison officer with Brimbank police has received national recognition for his efforts. Mr Lado, who came to Australia as a two-year-old from southern Sudan, has been named one of the country’s 100 most influential African-Australians. He received the Champion of Africa award at Parliament House in Canberra on July 27. Mr Lado said that when he arrived in mid-2009, there was a “high level of mistrust” between police and minorities. “My focus was to bridge the gap,” he said. “Myself and other services that work in the area worked hard to ensure trust between police and our new communities should “my happen. I can proudly say we have made focus was some inroads in our engagement efforts to bridge with these communities. the gap’’ “There is no doubt that we have established rapport with various communities in this area, and this is shown by the community’s confidence to invite police to attend community events. “Also, the fact that members of the new and emerging community can now come to police and ask for help with matters that affect them demonstrates the level of relationship.” \ BEN CAMERON

Melton City Council Community News

COUNCIL CALLS ON FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BRING BASICS WITHIN REACH In the lead up to the Federal Government election, Melton City Council is advocating for better access to jobs and services and the provision of more community and recreational facilities for the City’s growing population. Council would like to see commitments from the next Federal Government for increased funding to make sure the basics are brought within reach for our community. Residents have been telling us they want: 3 Better access to jobs 3 Better access to health services, especially more GPs 3 Better public transport 3 More community and leisure facilities and opportunities Together with the National Growth Area Alliance, Council is also lobbying the Federal Government, seeking commitments to strategic investments which would see outer suburban growth areas, such as Melton, receive their fair share of funding. These priority initiatives include: 3 A suburban community infrastructure program (Melton City Council is planning $160 million of capital works over the next four years, including a Regional Athletics track and supporting facilities at Atherstone and requires Federal support for this to be delivered) 3 A skills and employment package 3 An agreement by governments to manage urban population growth 3 A New Deal for Urban Australia – a new urban infrastructure fund unlocking private investment and a strengthened focus on cities.

airy Innovation Australia, housed in an unassuming brick building on Werribee’s Princes Highway between Melbourne University’s Veterinary School and Werribee police station, is responsible for testing and developing many of the yoghurts, cheeses and long-life products we consume. The 35 scientists and engineers who work in the centre spend countless hours researching ways to improve our favourite dairy foods. Their findings are passed on to some of the nation’s biggest dairy companies, which use the information to create new foods and tweak existing products. The centre also prides itself on helping the companies make their products in a more efficient and sustainable way, reducing water and electricity use and increasing value for money. Dairy Innovation Australia opened in Werribee six years ago, funded by the dairy industry. Members, which include Murray Goulburn, Tatura Milk, Fonterra, Parmalat, National Foods, Warrnambool Cheese and Butter, and national body Dairy Australia, produce more than 70 per cent of our milk and 65 per cent of manufactured dairy products. The centre spends about $9 million a year on research and development. Most of its research is pre-competitive, meaning it is shared with all its members. Commercial manager Mark Fink says it might seem a strange decision to base the centre in Werribee, hundreds of kilometres from Victoria’s dairy regions, but it makes perfect sense to the industry. “The Victorian dairy industry makes up 70 per cent of Australia’s dairy industry,” Fink says. “Melbourne is central to the dairy regions, and in Werribee we are close to the Port of Melbourne.” The centre has a freezer to store live bacterial cultures used to make 50 per cent of the nation’s cheese. The cultures are stored in pots at minus 40 degrees until they are ready to be sent to cheese-makers. It’s Donald Maxwell’s job to oversee the development of the cultures. The Point Cook resident has worked for Dairy Innovation Australia for two years. Along with the other scientists and technicians who work in the centre’s microbiology lab, Maxwell is responsible for creating new strains of bacteria that can be used in cheese cultures. Maxwell says it is important that the lab continually creates new strains of bacteria because existing strains can be susceptible to phage – viruses that infect the bacteria and prevent cultures from transforming milk sugars into lactic acid. “If we have a phage attack, we would lose production of a cheese,” he says. “Phage kills the cultures.” Maxwell says that to ensure there is a constant supply of healthy, phage-resistant cultures available to dairy companies, the lab challenges the cultures it develops with all the phage it has. Cultures that pass the test are given specially developed food so that they multiply and are then stored in the freezer. Maxwell says one of the challenges the lab faces is creating bacterial strains that don’t affect the taste of a product. “The product needs to taste the same when it is made with the new cultures. Cultures can deliver different types of flavours, so we have to watch for that.” He says the work done in the lab is essential to the dairy industry, helping it to compete with international companies. “Our research and development is helping the industry. Over the last 10 years the dairy industry has had a tough time.” Geraldine Walker loves exploring the science behind food. The food technologist works in Dairy Innovation Australia’s sensory lab, testing, tweaking and taking a close look at foods such as milk, cheese, chocolate

kelli’s in tune with life

(shawn smits)

Melton

Kelli Brogan’s dream of becoming a professional singer has gathered momentum since she was diagnosed with a brain aneurism last year. Last week, the 37-year-old from Melton got through the first round of auditions for Best of the West, a competition to showcase talent in the western suburbs. Brogan, a school teacher, spent 21 years as a professional ballroom dancer. She says that when she was diagnosed with an aneurism, her life was put into perspective. “When you realise life might not be going to plan, you realise what you need to do,” she says. “Singing is the one thing that makes me the happiest.” Last November, Brogan had surgery to have the aneurism coiled. “I was lucky it hadn’t ruptured – I had it coiled and had the problem solved,” she says.

‘‘It made me think about what I wanted out of my life and that my life might not have been as long.” Now she’s ready to make her singing dream a reality. Brogan impressed the judges with a rendition of Barbra Streisand’s The Way We Were. She was one of eight finalists chosen from 100 entrants. “I was a little bit anxious and excited at the same time,” Brogan says. “This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, now I just think I’ll give it a go and do the best I can.” Judges including musician Phil Ceberano and Melton deputy mayor Bob Turner will choose a winner at the competition’s final at WestWaters Hotel in Caroline Springs on September 21. The winner will receive a career kickstarter package including ongoing mentoring and a professional photo shoot. \ sz

Books

\ CORRIE PERKIN MANS UP WITH SEVEN BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FATHER’S DAY

ather’s Day looms and our little bookshop is manning up. The beautiful hot pink and pastel-toned book covers that dominated our shelves during the Mother’s Day sales have been replaced by lots of non-fiction titles – usually with loud, red and black covers – featuring stories about bikie gangs, former AFL greats, business gurus, beer, 1970s rock bands, the Australian Labor Party (and how it went bung), best wines, and better fishing spots. There are some real gems among this year’s batch. The federal election and some new thinking about the ALP’s future have prompted a host of politics titles. Business books have moved on from the Wall Street collapse of 2007-08 and are focused on future strategies and new growth markets. There are lots of sport, history and autobiography offerings, while November’s 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination and next year’s centenary of the start of World War I are also creating interest. There are many reasons books make great gifts but, when contemplating what to buy your dad or special bloke this Father’s Day, consider the following: dads too often get slotted into the too-hard-to-buy-for category. Unlike a pair of socks or a packet of golf tees, a book shows that you have spent time considering your choice, and dads appreciate this. They also love to hear why you chose the title you did. Immediately, a fabulous book dialogue begins. And books are affordable. Just ask your local bookseller for advice and a tour of the shop’s range, and you’ll find some great titles for under $15. Remember, also, that many parents are under 55 and have been greatly influenced by popular culture – TV, film,

contemporary art, advertising, the web, social media, rock music and the like. These topics are catalysts for some terrific books. Enter the 100 Best Albums of All Time by Toby Creswell and Craig Mathieson ($49.95, Hardie Grant), our pick of the 2013 Father’s Day crop. Well researched and compiled by two of Australia’s most respected music writers, this book also features photographs and album cover images, and contains a few list surprises that will certainly provoke debate. A beautiful hardcover, we expect 100 Best Albums to be one of our bestsellers between now and Christmas. Barbecue books generally leave us cold; their blokey formats and insipid recipes too often lack imagination. Then we discovered Bon Appetit magazine’s new The Grilling Book ($50, Andrews McMeel Publishing). This is a truly beautiful barbecue book and includes cooking tips and more than 350 recipes. As a rule, we avoid US cookery books. Their recipes often don’t translate well locally, while their food stylists and photographers lack the creativity of their highly talented Australian counterparts. But The Grilling Book defies the norm. In the words of British-born, New York-based chef April Bloomfield, “If you’ve never grilled before, or have an expert on hand, this book is a must’’. Killing Fairfax: Packer, Murdoch & The Ultimate Revenge by Pamela Williams ($39.99, HarperCollins) and Colleen Ryan’s Fairfax: The Rise And Fall ($32.95 MUP) recently arrived in bookshops. Both books examine the Sydney-based Fairfax media empire MMP06010-10-a20Aug©FCNVIC

and the predators, bad managers and destructive forces that have affected its fortunes. Media junkies will appreciate these two riveting accounts, while anyone interested in business generally will find that the books offer much food for thought. The 2013 calendar’s aligning of the Ashes series, the US golf tour, the recent Tour de France, footy, rugby and – just around the corner – the spring racing carnival, has provided publishers with many book opportunities. One to watch is Amen: How Adam Scott Won the US Masters and Broke the Curse of Augusta National ($27.99, Allen and Unwin). Sydney sports writers Will Swanton and Brent Read teamed up to produce a lively narrative of Adam Scott’s April US Masters campaign. The book includes interviews with Scott, his father Phil, and Australian golfing greats Greg Norman, Peter Thomson, Ian Baker-Finch and Jack Newton as they reflect on the significance of the Atlanta victory. For the man who loves architecture, we urge you to consider Thames and Hudson’s pictorial tribute to one of Australia’s finest architects.

Robin Boyd’s Living In Australia ($59.95, Thames and Hudson) was first published in 1970 and has been reproduced with original photographs by the late Mark Strizic, a friend of Boyd, as well as additional images by John Gollings. Boyd’s design philosophy – beautifully articulated and still relevant more than four decades later – is accompanied by contemporary perspectives of the master’s contribution by architects Kerstin Thompson and Rachel Neeson. And finally, our feel-good/self-improvement/change your life book of the year. The Good Life: What Makes a Life Worth Living? by Hugh Mackay ($29.99, Pan Macmillan) may cause dad to smile and wonder whether you are trying to make a point. Perhaps you are. Perhaps we should all strive to identify behaviours that can lead to a happier life. Since the 1980s, social researcher Mackay has delved into the lives of Australians, probing and observing and listening. “The Good Life draws heavily on those stories,’’ he says in his introduction. His conclusions are fascinating and uplifting – exactly what dad deserves on Father’s Day. \ cperkin@theweeklyreview.com.au

MOTORING \ RON HAMMERTON IS AT HOME IN THE RANGIE

(SUPPLIED)

any new vehicles are trumpeted as game-changers, but few are. When Britain’s original Range Rover arrived in 1970, it shook the status quo, introducing an unprecedented blend of luxury, road manners and off-road capability. I will never forget my introduction to this SUV icon, from the passenger seat of a Rangie driven by a Land Rover staffer who intentionally drove head-on over a high kerb. I braced for a huge bang, only to be amazed by a muted thump as the beast took the obstacle without a hair out of place. It was a revelation. Four decades on, the fourth-generation Range Rover from the British brand, now Indian-owned, still sets the pace as one of few luxury four-wheel-drives capable of supple mountain-goat feats while looking the part in the Flemington car park at spring carnival. The biggest change is under the skin, with all-aluminium construction. This helps rid the vehicle of 420 kilograms of unwanted fat. The Range Rover rides and corners with a belligerence that belies its bulk. The weight savings deliver improved fuel economy, with the test car – a supercharged V8 Vogue SE – gliding from zero to 100km/h in a sporty 5.4 seconds. Thirst has been chopped 9 per cent but, at 13.8 litres per 100 kilometres, the 5.0-litre petrol Range Rover’s fuel economy is not for the environmental warrior. In town, it soars to more than 20L/100km, hence most buyers will opt for diesel variants. Most Range Rovers spend their days

wading through commuter traffic, with the driver seated high above the riff-raff, cosseted behind laminated glass in a sumptuous captain’s chair that has 18-way electrical adjustment. Now we are getting to the crux of why buyers shell out such a big wad of cash. This is extremely comfortable. The decor is a mix of old English drawing room and up-to-the-minute gizmos. The new

eight-speed automatic transmission offers two more gears than the previous generation. A big sat-nav screen dominates a dash swathed in leather. The windscreen has fine wires embedded in it – the anti-icing and de-fogging system for snow country. Back seat passengers have TV screens, with headphones. The rear door rises and lowers majestically at the push of a button.

BRIEFS CHFL A slow start left Gordon playing catch-up football all afternoon as Daylesford dumped the Eagles out of the finals. Five Daylesford goals to Gordon’s one left the Eagles in arrears for the entire game in the 13.18 (96) to 10.10 (70) result. Gordon drew within 14 points at the last change but Daylesford kicked five goals to three in the last quarter to end any hopes of a comeback. Tim Werner kicked four goals for Gordon while Ash Munari, Mark Raworth and Tye Murphy were other better players. Gordon was also eliminated in reserves but Ballan lives to fight another day after an 8.7 (55) to 7.8 (50) win against Beaufort. Carngham Linton knocked Ballan out of A grade netball finals 44-43 but Ballan’s B grade advanced to the preliminary final with a 35-33 win against Springbank. \

Balmoral at the weekend. Down 1-0 at half time, Chang’s goal keeps Melton three points clear on top of FFV state league 5 west. Melton (44 points) has two games in hand on second-placed Brimbank Stallions (41) and one game in hand on third-placed Point Cook (40). \ RUGBY Melton’s march to finals in VRU second division B grade continued on Saturday with a 32-26 win against Melbourne. The win was Melton’s 13th of the season and keeps the team top of the ladder. \ VFL Essendon’s VFL finals campaign was in some doubt when the Weekly went to print on Monday afternoon. The Bombers claimed eighth spot with a win against North Ballarat Roosters at the weekend. But a Sunday-night rumour from Channel Seven’s Mark Stevens on Twitter suggested the Bombers reserves might not be immune from penalties if and when the AFL and Essendon announce sanctions relating to the club bringing the game into disrepute. At the time of going to print, the VFL had announced Essendon would play Werribee Tigers in the first elimination final North Port Oval from 2.10pm on Sunday. Essendon finished the home-and-away season as one of the VFL’s form teams, winning six of its last seven games, including Saturday’s 18.17 (125) to 13.8 (86) win against the Roosters. \

TAC CUP Western Jets stumbled at the final hurdle on Sunday as a 59-point loss to Sandringham Dragons cost it a top-four spot. Western went goalless in the second half of the 12.12 (84) to 3.7 (25) defeat. Calder (10-7) pinched fourth from Western (9-1-7) by half a game. Bacchus Marsh’s Liam Duggan was named in the Jets’ best. The Jets now play Murray Bushrangers in the first elimination final at Princes Park, Carlton from 2pm on Sunday. \ SOCCER Beau Chang’s goal saved a point for Melton as the Phoenix were held to a 1-1 draw by lowly

burras swoop in football

Diggers Rest landed the first major blow of the Riddell District Football League finals series with a 26-point win against Riddell Bombers at Rockbank on Saturday. The game had a bit of everything – intense physical pressure, high-flying forwards and a bit of biff as the Burras won 14.11 (95) to 10.9 (69). The Burras will play Sunbury Kangaroos in the first semi-final this weekend in a bid to earn a week off and progress straight to the grand final. Riddell will meet Romsey in a semi-final, with the loser eliminated. Riddell made a fast start but only earned a one-goal reward for a full quarter with the wind advantage. Diggers Rest lost co-captain John Ryan, who was felled behind play late in the term. Bloodied and dazed, he took no further part in the match. He was later taken to hospital but should play against Sunbury this weekend. The second term saw Diggers Rest punish Riddell by making the most of its opportunities with five goals. The Bombers had the better of the third term on the scoreboard but still weren’t able to capitalise on opportunities. Tom Gleeson marked and goaled seconds before the siren for Diggers Rest, giving the Burras an eight-point break.

When Diggers Rest opened a 26-point lead in the last quarter the contest appeared over. But they slowed and Riddell suddenly got a sniff, lighting up the game again with three quick goals to reduce the margin to seven points. Enter Brent Tuckey. He kicked four goals for the term, one after taking a hanger crashing into a pack of players. Co-captain Shaun Sims, resembling a mummy after being bandaged from an earlier incident, kicked one after a Nolan fumble, much to the delight of the Diggers’ contingent. It was a convincing but hardly emphatic win. “They’re still the benchmark and for us it was good to get away with a win,” Burras coach Jamie Elliott said. “They had their backs to the wall a bit in the last quarter but you don’t lose one game of footy for the year and think you’re not a good side. “[Sunbury Roos] are another quality side and if we can get over them we’re part of the way to achieving what we came here for this year.” In the elimination finals, Sunbury Kangaroos overturned a three-point deficit at the last change to overrun Rupertswood 12.14 (86) to 8.10 (58) at Boardman Reserve. Romsey sent Macedon packing with a 24.14 (158) to 8.13 (61) win at Kilmore. Finals venues were being inspected when the Weekly went to print on Monday. \ DANIEL PAPROTH

blues score tight win over roos netball

Melton Centrals got a scare but held on to win by a goal against Sunbury Kangaroos and advance to the Riddell District Netball League second semi-final. The Blues held a handy lead before a late Sunbury comeback fell just short, 38-37. Centrals will now play Riddell Bombers for a spot in the grand final after the Bombers eliminated Rupertswood 50-25. Normally prolific goaler Renee Hulls (18) was still among Centrals’ best, while Aimee Deacon and Jess May were among the better Blues. Jessica O’Donnell and Kellie Down were Sunbury’s best in the defeat. “We were eight or nine goals up so we still should probably have won by a bit more,” Centrals coach Randy Pereira said. “To Sunbury’s credit, they came back and were three in front with about two or three minutes to go. “It was a gutsy, courageous win by the

girls, and couple of them were sick as well. “Sunbury really took it up to us and it will hold us in good stead for the rest of the finals series.” The loss leaves Sunbury in a do-or-die first semi-final against Romsey after the Redbacks reeled in Macedon to win 48-46 in the second elimination final. In Ballarat Netball League A grade, Melton will take winning form into the finals but had to settle for fourth on the ladder after its 40-33 win against Redan. The top four all finished within one win, with North Ballarat City and East Point to play the qualifying final this weekend while Melton (versus Lake Wendouree) and Sunbury (versus Redan) have sudden-death finals.

super breds storm to title the game

A spectacular three from quarter court got the party started for Melton and its fans on Saturday night as the Thoroughbreds swept Keilor Thunder 2-0 in the Big V Basketball division 2 grand final series. Jeff Crowe’s bomb made the difference 17 points with 5.39 remaining, ending a brief Keilor comeback and allowing the Breds to enjoy the premiership feeling as the clock counted down. Melton won 75-60 to take the premiership and finish the season on an 18-game winning streak. After being led for much of game one in the

grand final series last week, Saturday’s win lacked the drama of a close contest. There was some tension among the 400-odd fans at Melton Indoor Recreation Centre as Keilor, as far down as 25 points in the third quarter, rallied in the final term. But the comeback never got closer than 13, with Crowe’s big three followed soon after with a shotclock-beating triple that had the fans in hysterics. Crowe, finals MVP, scored 15 points while Jordan Kirk led the scoring with 17, seven of 10 from the field. A scratchy opening was broken open by Melton’s transition down the floor, with Maverick Clissold (nine points) getting clear on the fast break and then following it up with

a three-pointer as the Breds opened a 19-12 lead at quarter-time. The second quarter belonged to Shane Moroney (eight points) as he followed a lay-up with a steal and lay-up on back-to-back plays as Melton blew the gap out to 31-16. Tempers flared with seven seconds left in the half, with Michael McCallum getting a charging foul and players coming together for some push and shove. Allegations of a punch being thrown in a rebounding situation the play prior were reprised among the melée, with Keilor’s Brad Courts ejected for an apparent attempt to headbutt Melton’s Cameron McCallum.

Captain kirk beams up again the players

Melton Thoroughbreds captain Jordan Kirk is standing on top of the mountain after coming through some of the basketball program’s toughest times. After losing the 2010 grand final series to Mildura, Kirk stuck with the Breds as they bottomed out in 2011, playing at times in front of a dozen fans at home games. Contrast that with Saturday night, when Melton’s fans roared on the team to victory against Keilor. “The team has changed completely with Melton guys coming back wanting to play,” Kirk said. “When you get local guys and a local crowd they’re invested. To win a championship means a whole lot more. “This is a great group of guys, easy to lead. Every huddle someone different talks and there’s a lot of value throughout the team.” Melton switched coaches late in pre-season, Grant Spencer coming in when Aaron Christian stood down because of work commitments. 62 MELTON & MOORABOOL WEEKLY \ AUGUST 27, 2013

“When the coach changes it’s a big thing, a new system, you’ve got to learn and players have to gel with the coach,” Kirk said. “Froggy’s (Spencer) got a great knowledge of the game. He can give out a spray but it means something when he does and as long as you listen you’ll be alright.” Jeff Crowe was Melton’s finals MVP and one of the key players in continuing the Breds’ 18-game winning streak. “It’s unbelievable to win 18 straight and end it with a grand final . . . amazing,” he said. “After going 2-of-13 last week it was awesome to come out and hit a few good shots.” Maverick Clissold was important setting the tone early in Saturday’s game. “I focused on defence tonight and just tried to hustle on those rebounds,” he said. “Running the floor, I just try to do what’s best for the team. “The ride we’ve had since the start of the year starting 0-4, we’ve just stuck together to be honest. That’s what got us the 18 wins in a row and to this goal.” \ TP

With tensions calmed by the half-time break, Melton went about building its lead to as big as 58-33 before Keilor’s best period of the match. But the comeback was never on in front of the Melton home crowd, with fans flooding the court at the final buzzer to watch their premiers cut down the net string by string. McCallum led rebounding with 13, while Keilor’s best were Andrew Freeman (17 points, 14 rebounds) and Brent Radoslovic (14 points). \ TEO PELLIZZERI

big leap forward the club

Champions: Melton Thoroughbreds with the premiership pennant. (SHAWN SMITS)

Melton’s basketball reputation, at home court and away, has gone to another level this season to match the team’s on-court success. While winning can lift the spirits of any club, the seeds for success in the stands were sown in the club’s early home games, as Melton rode a four-game losing streak at the start of the season. The fans were still coming, with initiatives such as the Maroon Zone for youngsters and the club’s adoption of social media leading to the town’s basketball community living the “#bredlife”. “We’re putting a lot more resources into our junior ranks as well, which is turning into spectators for Big V,” Melton Basketball Association president Lucas Bourke said. “We’re looking to grow as a club to compete with the likes of Keilor or Sunbury. “We’re considered much smaller but we’re putting in the work. “A year ago the Big V players were unknown to the juniors and vice-versa. Now a lot of these juniors know the players by name. We’ve become a club that’s integrated the programs.”

Recruiting former Melton juniors or Melton-based players has been a big focus in the past two seasons, with Melton making the finals last year and going on to win the title this year. “A lot of former Melton juniors have come back into the senior program after being away for some time,” Bourke said. “We have a lot of confidence about going into (Big V) division 1 because we’ve done well with the recruiting recently.” Bourke said volunteers had to be acknowledged for their role in the club’s success. “We have a lot more volunteers and a lot more help off the court, and that has helped the level of play on the court,” he said. “Everything that’s happening off the court is being reflected on the court. “The passion of the volunteer base . . . we’d be lost without them. “At the start of the season I was setting up, cleaning the floors before games. “Now we have a pool of people who have come in to contribute and build the (volunteer) culture at the club.” \ TP
