action group backs ‘super-council’ as rates solution merger mooted

Maribyrnong residents fed up with being a “laughing stock” because of the area’s high property rates have called for the council to be dissolved. The Maribyrnong Residents Action Group (MRAG) staged a rally on Saturday and called on the state government to consider amalgamating Maribyrnong with neighbouring councils to cut costs and spread the burden of disproportionately high residential rates. MRAG member Robert Wiatrowski told the Weekly the council was too small to stand alone in its present form. “Either Maribyrnong finds funding and support or acknowledges the fact it is an unviable council.” MRAG is seeking to collect 10,000 signatures on a petition calling on the state government to review Maribyrnong’s boundaries in light of the council’s “overbearing and inequitable rate charges” compared with other neighbouring councils. Mr Wiatrowski said Maribyrnong had the highest residential rate base of all of Melbourne’s inner city metropolitan councils, with some residents paying more than $4500 a year. He suggested the

high-end examples our rates are almost double those of residents with comparable property values in, for example, the city of Moonee Valley,” Mr Wiatrowski said. MRAG has criticised poor return for the

high rates, citing poor roads, lack of quality parks, worsening traffic congestion and a lack of strategies to tackle high crime rates. Fellow resident and MRAG member Brett Woods said Maribyrnong was too small in terms of population and the number of residential properties to support a fair rate structure. “Maribyrnong council’s high rate charges must be even more stressful for lowerincome homeowners, such as pensioners, who may be asset rich but cash poor.” Maribyrnong mayor Grant Miles said there was no official council position supporting any council merger, but he was “in favour” of merging Maribyrnong with Hobsons Bay. “Maribyrnong has the smallest population in Melbourne at about 79,000 people and Hobsons Bay the second-smallest at around 85,000. “The two councils merged would still be smaller than our other neighbour, Brimbank, which has about 180,000 people.” Cr Miles said the gain in efficiencies could reduce rates for residents, but he was against a merger of all metropolitan councils. \ BENJAMIN MILLAR » Visit facebook.com/MaribyrnongRAG or email residentsactiongroup3032@ gmail.com

dawn raids yield drugs, cash, arrests as police target crime syndicate drug syndicate

Properties in Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong were raided by police early yesterday morning as part of an operation targeting a Middle Eastern crime syndicate. More than 700 police executed 45 search warrants across the northern and western suburbs, including Altona, Altona Meadows, Altona North, Williamstown North, Kingsville South and Maribyrnong.

The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) yesterday launched a campaign to crowdfund $100,000 for a “food justice truck” delivering discounted food to people living on as little as $3 a day and prohibited from seeking work. The ASRC’s director of aid, Patrick Lawrence, said the truck would deliver food to people living on up to 89 per cent of Australia’s lowest dole payment and even some “getting nothing”. “There are 10,000 asylum seekers living in the community in Melbourne alone and none of them get the [full] Newstart allowance,” Mr Lawrence said. “Some of them get a percentage of Newstart, some of them get nothing, some of them have work rights, some of them don’t have work rights – and their food security situation is extremely dire.” He said the food justice truck would visit several locations in Melbourne’s west, selling fresh fruit and vegetables, whole foods, non-perishables and other healthy items. Mr Lawrence said food would be sold to the general public at market rates and to up to 2000 asylum seekers at a 75 per cent discount. “So that $10 or $20 that an asylum seeker might have will actually buy them $40-$80 worth of food,” he said. “We can’t afford to just give food away to 2000 people so we’ve got this hybrid social-enterprise model. It will only have one paid full-time staff manager and 60 volunteers. Obviously, we won’t have a profit

truck traffic sleep-in protest is premier’s wake-up call Street similar to the Yarraville night and weekend truck curfews introduced in 2001. Maribyrnong Truck Action Group president Samantha McArthur said trucks were using inner-west residential streets that were not designed or intended for such heavy truck traffic. “Residents are basically subsidising Victoria’s freight task with their health and safety. This has to change.” Ms McArthur said there was nothing to address problems around truck traffic associated with the port expansion other than “a pie-in-the-sky tunnel that will never get built”. “What the Premier needs to realise is that something needs to be done now – not in 15 years.” She said the “slumber party”-style protest was being held in consultation with Victoria Police. The protest follows a recent “open house” at Maribyrnong town hall in which senior staff and executives from the EPA, VicRoads, Department of Health and Maribyrnong council met with residents. VicRoads chief operating officer Peter Todd said Moore Street stood out as an issue and conceded solutions must be found. \ BENJAMIN MILLAR

Footscray

Weary residents will stage a “sleep-in” on a busy Footscray truck route in a bid to win night-time curfews. Residents in sleeping bags and blankets will occupy Moore Street from 8am-8.30am on April 2 to protest against the 400 per cent increase in overnight truck traffic since 2006. Nearby resident Scott Adams said he and his young family struggled to sleep because of heavy truck traffic in the area. “We desperately need night-time curfews,” he said. “We’ve got trucks barrelling down the hill at 60km/h, then using engine brakes to slow up for the lights. I really do worry about how long we can put up with this.” Mr Adams said the protest would block all Moore Street traffic between Hopkins and Donald streets to symbolically reclaim sleep robbed by trucks avoiding CityLink tolls as they access the port. Night-time truck traffic on Moore Street is five times heavier than in 2006 and 24-hour truck movements have more than doubled in that time to more than 2600 per day.

New horizons: Huong, one of the “living books”, at her home in West Footscray. (MICHAEL COPP)

A new chapter in Maribyrnong’s colourful history begins this Sunday with the launch of the city’s first “human library”. The Cultural Diversity Week event at the Maidstone Harmony Feast involves refugees and newly arrived migrants from around the world sharing their stories with anyone who wishes to “borrow” them for a 20-minute conversation. The Head On Human Library will feature “living books” from Vietnam, India, Ethiopia, Sudan, Zimbabwe and Mozambique talking about their journey to Australia as well as the challenges and triumphs of being a part of our community. Project co-ordinator Monique Camilleri said the idea was to bring people together for discussions they might otherwise never have. Auspiced by the West Footscray Neighbourhood House, the project aims to break down negative perceptions, myths and judgements about refugees and migrants. To “borrow” living books, visit the free Maidstone Harmony Feast at 21 Yardley Street, Maidstone, noon-3pm this Sunday. A video documentation of the “living books” will be released after the event on YouTube and via all Maribyrnong libraries. \ BENJAMIN MILLAR

In the Art of Play project at Braybrook’s Skinner Reserve, children from Western English Language School and Dinjerra Primary School are being encouraged to lead playground adventures with circus arts, music and theatre improvisation.

Catherine Leahy, prep/year one Dinjerra Primary School teacher, said “playrangers” bring along items like hula-hoops and bells to engage the children. The project is funded by VicHealth’s MOTION program, and Maribyrnong council is a partner. The final Art of Play weekly event, “PlayTime”, will be held 9.30-11.30am on Friday, March 28, at Skinner Reserve, Churchill Avenue, beside the Braybrook Community Centre. \ BM

THREADS OF LIFE A lifesaving foundation was started when one man dared to hope, writes sarah harriS

mpish Wilson Jackman, 4, is among many who owe their lives to the slim umbilical thread of one man’s hope that he could save his son. Diagnosed with a particularly rare type of auto-immune deficiency at the age of 18 months, Wilson needed a bone marrow or stem cell transplant if he was to survive. With no match to be found among family members, all hopes rested with the Bone Marrow Donor Institute’s (BMDI) Cord Blood Bank. It was six agonising months – every day spent fearing the slightest germ could carry off the little boy – before the call came. In March last year, the Jackman family travelled from their central Victorian home to the Royal

Children’s Hospital for the transplant. A match had been found, but it was far from the end of their ordeal. After the transplant Wilson developed life-threatening complications. “There were times when I thought that Wilson might not make it,” his mum Angie confesses. “I will remember for the rest of my life how, every night, I would beg him to stay with me for just another 24 hours.” The family’s vigil at Wilson’s bedside was made possible by the Fight Cancer Foundation which – in addition to funding vital research into cancer treatments and education support for young patients – provides affordable accommodation close to

major treating hospitals. The development of this much-needed accommodation service is the latest chapter in a story that began 25 years ago. Robbie Lodder was eight when he became the catalyst for the formation of Australia’s first bone marrow registry from which the Fight Cancer Foundation grew. The plight of the charismatic, dark-eyed boy, who appeared on 60 Minutes, Today Tonight, A Current Affair, in New Idea and on the front page of Melbourne’s Sun News-Pictorial, touched Australians, who signed up to become donors by the tens of thousands. The highly public effort to save Robbie became pivotal to the formation not only of the registry but to the BMDI Cord Blood Bank established in his memory – both of which have given so many, like Wilson, a second chance at life. Today, reflecting on his son’s legacy, Ray Lodder will scarcely allow that he played his own part as a tireless fund-raiser and advocate. The gravel-voiced retired manufacturer still lives in Woodend, surrounded by the community which rallied round Robbie after his diagnosis. Robbie’s short life is celebrated in the Woodend’s Children Park with a walkway and lookout named in his honour. Standing in the park watching children play, Lodder smiles. “It’s a lovely way to be remembered.” He vividly recalls the shock when Robbie was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in March, 1989. “Back then the only cure for a CML patient was a bone marrow transplant. So in my naivety, I said ‘Oh well, we better get him one of those then’. When I was told there was no bone marrow registry in Australia, I was most indignant.” Together with a handful of other Melbourne parents who had children with or lost to leukaemia, Lodder set about establishing the life-giving service. “I was going to turn heaven and earth over to find a cure for Rob,” he says. “Linda [Robbie’s mother] and I went around the world. We went to the Anthony Nolan Register in the UK, we went to specialists in Holland, we went to Seattle to one of the biggest and most successful hospitals for the treatment of leukaemia.” But no match on the fledgling Australian registry or those overseas could be found for Robbie. It was the world’s leading expert, Professor John Goldman, who pioneered bone-marrow transplantation for CML, who confirmed the worst after reviewing results of thousands of tests. “He said, ‘You know, you are not likely to get a match … he’s going to die’ – there weren’t any ifs about it. Then he said: ‘Have you ever considered having more children, because at least one in four siblings is going to be a match’.” The couple’s decision to have another child sparked controversy. “Some people publicly accused us of having babies for spare parts,” Lodder recalls. “It was really quite hurtful, but to some degree what was said touched a nerve because in a way – while we were happy to have another child and had never previously ruled the idea out – Matthew was born with some hope he could also save Robbie. “He wasn’t a match, sadly, but he is such a lovely, lovely boy and we were – and of course always will be – so very glad to have him.” In 1991, Robbie, aged 11, died from complications arising after a bone marrow transplant from his grandmother which was a close but not complete match. Lodder continued his work, driving his considerable energies to establishing, in 1996, the BMDI cord blood bank which is now part of the national AusCord network. Last year there were more than 2000 life-saving bone marrow, cord blood and peripheral stem cell transplants in Australia and New Zealand. But for Ray Lodder and his former wife Linda, it will forever be a story that began with one little boy. \ sharris@mmpgroup.com.au MARCH 19, 2014 \ MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY WEEKLY 13

There’s an incredible waste of Hobsons Bay ratepayers’ money by our elected councillors. Browsing the council internet site, I came across the February 11 meeting minutes where mayor Sandra Wilson’s program was approved. This program aims to waste $49,000 of our rates on projects that I’m sure we all would struggle to understand. Here are a few examples which are a blatant waste of our hard-earned money: • Shorebird education and conservation: Construct and install an interpretive sign on the importance and diversity of unique local and migratory shorebirds, including public launch of sign – $10,000. • Council advisory committees: A series of meetings with the council’s advisory committees. Facilitation, catering and documentation of outcomes – $3000.

my shout • Youth leadership: Governance program for secondary students with biannual meetings. Facilitation, catering and materials – $1000. Here we can see that the council plans to waste $10,000 to build a sign about birds, $3000 to “meet” with advisory committees, and another $1000 on a governance program for secondary students. Can anybody tell me what a governance program for secondary students is and what would this possibly achieve? We need to sack the lot of them if they are coming up with this rubbish.

Of the many political contradictions that filter into the community, none are more galling than those surrounding asylum seekers. Like the notion that someone can be very concerned about asylum seekers’ safety at sea while happily leaving them to rot in internment camps with scant regard for their safety or mental well-being. Then there’s the opposition to spending millions on resettling asylum seekers while condoning billions spent on locking them up offshore. Locking up asylum seekers is a cruel smokescreen that makes people think their way of life is being protected, while taking the focus off threats under their noses, such as a push to tighten worker entitlements, including penalty rates. Meanwhile, while we prevented several thousand asylum seekers from making a life here, we happily allowed 126,000 people to come into Australia on 457 visas. \ DAVID BONNICI \ EDITOR

World-renowned Altona-based artist Julee Latimer is inviting people to help create a community mosaic as part of Hobsons Bay’s Art in Public Places program. Running over the next month, the program showcases 60 exhibitions and events by western region artists, presented at more than 60 venues throughout Hobsons Bay. Latimer’s free open studio sessions are on April 6 and 12, from 10am-2pm. Latimer (pictured) says people can wander through her mosaic garden and, if they choose, take part in cutting tiles and placing them on a community mosaic. “It’s going to be a large funky flower and that’s specifically because it’s going to go into the courtyard of St George’s residential-care home [in Altona Meadows],” Latimer says. “The reason I’ve chosen them to donate to this year is that I saw an article in one of the newspapers a long time ago where they were talking about fund-raising for their courtyard garden and I noticed it just seemed to be bare brick walls. It looked very sad.” Latimer will also have mosaic lizard exhibits at Les Fleurs Florist opposite

Good oil on jobs: Bayside College year 10 student Luke and Mobil’s Heinz Klaumanns-Moller. (MICHAEL COPP)

Bayside College this month officially opened its overhauled $9.6 million Paisley campus at Newport, which has new science labs, mathematics hubs, a technical training centre offering VET courses in automotive and building and construction, and a year 12 study area with access to careers advisers. Mobil’s Altona refinery manager, Andrew Warrell, said while the company had a long history of supporting local schools – particularly in maths and science education – the memorandum took industry support for students to a new level. “By directly involving the people of Altona refinery in sharing their experience and knowledge, I hope we can really make a difference in the lives of local students at

wonder wall plans set in motion Footscray

One of the most ambitious mural projects undertaken in Footscray is officially under way. Footscray animator and community artist Christie Anditama Widiarto is spearheading the animated wall mural project, a community-based arts project addressing graffiti and vandalism in the suburb. Widiarto’s idea is to create an ‘animated’ painted wall mural, based on the work of Italian street artist Blu. After a trial project at Footscray Arts Centre

Widiarto’s creative team is unleashing its work on the lengthy side wall of the Footscray Betta Home Living store on Donald Street. Participants are painting repeated layers of the mural with slight changes to create a sense of movement, all captured through a series of photographs edited together to form an animation, telling some of Footscray’s stories. Widiarto said funds were being raised through a Pozible campaign and all donations of paint to the project were welcome. \ BM » pozible.com/footscraywall

Now Australian Ballet principal dancer Adam Bull is the star of Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon at Melbourne’s Arts Centre.

He invariably wrote with letterheads that he’d put together, sometimes with a photo of himself and his dog, and the title “Larry Noye, Columbus of Canberra”, “Bard of the West” or “Shakespeare of Footscray”. Following in the family tradition, Mr Noye was an avid follower of the former Footscray Football Club and loved socialising with past players. Somehow, he wrangled a membership to the Footscray past players’ association, saying it was something to do with being an old sports journalist. Mr Noye always had dogs that were either strays or adopted from the Lost Dogs Home. In the last few years, Patch would accompany Mr Noye to Pier Street where the pair would sit at an outside table. Mr Noye would share his lunch with her and chat to all who passed. The only time Mr Noye was ever bored was when he couldn’t get hold of a newspaper, telephone, pen and paper to write the next article or letter. \

Motoring \ rod easdown gets behind the wheel

ast time I looked at Mitsubishi’s neat little ASX it had just one problem; the highly economical diesel engine wasn’t available with an automatic gearbox. Now it is, and the combination of generous torque and economy will win plenty of customers, even if the motor is a bit noisy. The overriding factor is that the ASX is such a sensible package for the price, and prices start at just $24,990 for the base two-wheel-drive petrol model. It’s a compact wagon that offers optional four-wheel-drive and good ground clearance for the occasional bush track or fishing spot, but has none of the traditional hallmarks of big, boofy four-wheel-drives. In other words, it looks and behaves like a regular car. This not only makes it easier to drive and park, it also saves you from the sideways looks from neighbours and friends who fret about the fate of the planet and vote Green. Pretty much the only complaint I have is the temporary spare tyre, a dumb idea on a car that could otherwise be used comfortably for a big round-Australia trip. Bringing an automatic together with a diesel engine is never straightforward and that may be why Mitsubishi took its time doing it, but this combination works well. The changes are smooth and fuss free in normal driving. Only one thing to watch; the gearbox is calibrated for maximum fuel economy and that means it changes down at the earliest

Mitsubishi ASX Aspire diesel auto What is it? A neat little wagon with all-road ability. What’s in it? A 110-kilowatt turbo diesel with a six-speed automatic transmission. Is it thirsty? I used 12 litres per 100km in the city, 8.5 in the country. The official combined figure is 5.8. $36,990 - $40,421

Thumbs up Value, practicality and it doesn’t look like a 4WD

possible opportunity, even when it means it’s grumbling along at 1200rpm, on the verge of labouring. But, given the generous torque available, this mostly works OK and is not something you notice until you floor the accelerator, when it takes a moment to sort itself out and get down to a lower gear. This is something to bear in mind when overtaking on the highway. While the ASX is not a car that enjoys being chucked into corners, its handling is adequate for the bulk of drivers and the ride is pretty good. The tyres can get a bit noisy on coarse

bitumen at freeway speeds, otherwise this is a very comfortable package, and well specified. There’s good cargo space and reasonable rear seat room. The most attractive thing about it is its pricing; it presents top-class value along with excellent economy, and the warranty is among the best in the industry. \ reasdown@theweeklyreview.com.au test drive »

Under the radar \ Myke bartlett reviews the latest Blancanieves \ Blu-ray and DVD, $39.95 (Reel DVD) » www.arcadiamotionpictures.com/14/blancanieves

Top pick

Pablo Berger’s homage to the films of the 1920s had the great misfortune of arriving in the wake of The Artist – a far more accessible and comedic piece. But while it lacks the self-awareness of its Oscar-winning peer, Blancanieves has an endearing, sincere passion at its heart. Transplanting the Grimm Brothers’ Snow White into Franco’s Spain, Berger recaptures the darkness we remember from first reading those tales as children. This is a world of ghoulish acts and misshapen heroes, cast in the shadow of a dark sexuality. Our heroine Carmen is the daughter of a prize matador, struck down in his prime. Fleeing her deliciously evil and somewhat perverse stepmother (Maribel Verdú, best known for Y Tu Mamá También), she takes refuge with six bullfighting dwarves. On discovering a flair for her father’s sport, she is recruited by this diminutive troupe, but her new fame engenders resentments. Relying on clever, beautiful compositions, Blancanieves reminds the viewer how dialogue can distract from the magic of cinema. As with authentic films of its borrowed era, there is a sense here of peering through its grey glass into an enchanting, lost world. Stripped of the irony we’ve come to expect from modern retreads of fairytales, this is a joyous, wondrous and sensuous movie. \

Andrew McCammond took 4-37 off 21 overs, but the Tigers comfortably negotiated a draw. Werribee, Noble Park, Bayswater and Oakleigh will now fight it out in the final four. \ LJ

clubbers prove they’re no one-man band Cricket

Yarraville Club was galvanised by a game-threatening injury to captain Emmett Bronca on the first weekend of its Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division grand final against South Caulfield. The opening bowler left the field clutching a hamstring after completing 10 overs at Crofts Reserve and took no further part on the second day. “He felt that real back-burn in there, pulled up and said he better get some ice …otherwise it could get worse,” Clubbers top-order batsman Justin Baker said. “He’s given himself every opportunity to come up next weekend.” The Clubbers had 169 to defend and needed all hands on deck.

Bronca hobbled off with South Caulfield All six bowlers used on the day were just one down and the forecast appeared disciplined with their lines and lengths and gloomy for his side. gave little away. But Adam Contessa was installed “Everyone did their job when it was their as caretaker skipper and the bowling turn to bowl,” Baker said. department was flush with some bit-part “The discipline shown by [Matthew] contributors to fill the void.

Richard Sherlock was the chief destroyer The pair came together when their side was with 4-27 off 13, but it was far from a one-man in trouble at 7-72 and put on 89 for the eighth band. wicket.

Tupper played the support act, turning the strike over and building frustration in the South Caulfield ranks, while Cristofaro went on to register his top score since returning from a thumb operation. A 169-run total might not seem much on paper, but given the conditions and the recent history of the Morris McDonald Oval, it was a score which gave the Clubbers’ bowlers plenty of ammunition. “We did a bit of research and the average winning score for the year on that ground was 159,” Baker said. “No one had scored more than 200 on the ground so we sort of thought … it’s not a bad effort and it gives us something to bowl at.” Play will resume at 1pm on Saturday and continue into Sunday if a fourth day is required. \ LJ

seddon ’keeper’s ‘gun’ move

altona honours revered stalwart

Soccer

If Seddon goes on to defeat Sunshine Druids in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association north A1 grand final this weekend, the club might look back on a nifty piece of glove work from wicketkeeper Mark Webb on day two as the turning point. Seddon struggled to contain Druids opening batsman Leigh Wilson, who powered to 112 not out after the first day at Hogans Road and was seriously set for a long-haul innings with a further 80 overs to bat on the second day. While Wilson was at the crease, the Druids had the potential to amass a war chest of runs and bat Seddon out of the game, so the fielding side was desperate to bring about his demise. It took some out-of-the-box thinking and a magnificent piece of work behind the stumps by Webb to remove Wilson for 115. Webb gamely kept up to the stumps to medium-pacer Dellon Udugamasooriya and flicked off the bails to catch Wilson wondering out of his crease. The Druids went on to record 223, but it could have been so much more. “He’s a gun ’keeper,” Seddon secretary Rolf Tamburro said. “He keeps up to the stumps a fair bit to the pacemen. “He said after the game it was probably his favourite stumping because it was the most important. “Wilson didn’t look like going out and Mark rated it highly because of the situation.” Not to be overshadowed were the tireless efforts of the Seddon bowlers, who restricted Druids to less than two an over for 122 tough overs amid Melbourne’s weather extremes. Udugamasooriya produced a captain’s performance with 5-32 off 18. New-ball operator Brendan Major was outstanding with an economical 3-17 off

Altona City Soccer Club will honour founder and long-time supporter Lou Noordenne with a pre-season tournament on Saturday. Six clubs in two groups will battle it out for the Lou Noordenne Lightning Cup at Kim Reserve. Group 1 will be contested by Altona City, Truganina Hornets and Darebin United, while group 2 includes Keilor Park, Spring Hills and Brunswick Zebras. There will be eight games in all, including the group winners in the final under lights. Noordenne died in September last year and City wanted to recognise his commitment to the club that spanned nearly five decades. “After his passing, we invited the family back and got them involved again,” City coach Sam Borg said. “This year is our 50th year at the club and the Noordenne family has been right behind us all the way.” Meanwhile, Altona City was bundled out of the Dockerty Cup in the third round on Friday night with a 5-1 loss to Moreland City. Altona, a division below the visitors in the FFV, was outclassed after half-time. “In my book, they’re a really good team and I was impressed to go in 2-1 down at half-time with more possession and probably dominating the first half,” Borg said. “I thought the boys did really well.” Huon Russell scored Altona’s only goal from the penalty spot. “He’s probably the best penalty taker I’ve seen,” Borg said. “I’ve never seen him miss.” \ LJ

It should be a very exciting finish.” \ LANCE JENKINSON

premier Cricket

Footscray Edgewater moved to within a game of a Premier Cricket grand final after wiping out Carlton by 144 runs in the qualifying final at Merv Hughes Oval at the weekend. With rain threatening, the second-ranked Bulldogs needed only to secure a draw to advance, but they came out on the second day and took the Blues to the cleaners in a performance coach Steve Chapman says will stand the inexperienced finals side in good stead. “I must be honest, I was quietly hoping the rain wouldn’t spoil the game,” he said. “In games like this, when it’s sudden death, if the game goes the full way, there’s some lessons that can be learned … it would’ve robbed us of a good opportunity and good experience if it had got washed out. “We’re through on merit and that’s important. We’re into the last four and, to be fair, we’ve been one of the best four teams all year. It’s a good reward for the way the guys have applied themselves this year.” The Bulldogs dug in on day one to post 9-252 off 100 overs. The heroes were red-hot Dean Russ (66) and return-to-form Dylan Kight (61). Russ was at his patient best, anchoring the innings and continuing the fine form that has seen him feature for the Victorian Bushrangers in their past two Sheffield Shield matches. “That was probably as well as Dean’s played all year,” Chapman said. “He was calm, he was methodical, he was prepared to leave.” Kight’s batting form has been up and down like a yo-yo, but he turned up the heat just when the Bulldogs needed him most. “It was a classy, influential innings,” Chapman said.

Haberfield (7-25 off 17) and Winter-Irving (1-17 off 13) bowled the Bulldogs to victory on the second day. With seven wickets and a season tally of 49, Haberfield is rightly winning plaudits, but Chapman lauds one of the best new-ball tandems in the league and the big role Winter-Irving plays as part of it. “Hamish’s performance is not to be underestimated,” Chapman said. “His figures

depleted list a game-changer for gators Basketball

A depleted team sheet forced Altona Gators away from their normal up-tempo playing style against Camberwell Dragons on Sunday. A host of key absentees, including co-captains Dan Ellul and Daniel Martin, would be a concern but not a tipping point. Even when the deficit blew out to as many as 15 points midway through the second quarter, it couldn’t break the Gators’ spirit. The Gators produced a stirring backs-to-the-wall 77-71 win – but it did take a jolt from first-game coach Des Radoslovic to kick-start them just before half-time. “I called a time-out and nearly burst a blood vessel in my head yelling at them,” he said. “We turned it around and really changed the energy after that. “Coming in that undermanned, missing your co-captains and point guards, and a few

Fans should savour the experience because it will be a long time before they are back at the Swamp. “I couldn’t believe it when I saw that eight of our first nine [games] were on the road,” Radoslovic said. \ LJ
