Looking ahead: The Essendon Airport Draft Master Plan will include a forecast of future aircraft operations and noise management options.

Airport plan in holding pattern

BY EUGENE BENSON THE release of Essendon Airport’s Draft Master Plan has been delayed until June.

In 2003 the airport was required through legislation to release a master plan that would forecast its development for the next 20 years.

Legislation also requires the plan be updated every five years.

This year’s version, outlining the development strategy and planning controls for the airport until 2019, was expected to be released in April.

Airport operations manager Graeme Ware said a lot of the plan was devoted to aircraft noise management.

Mr Ware would not be drawn on the validity of noise complaints from the Close Essendon Airport committee.

But he said it was difficult to accurately plan or forecast future aircraft activity when it was often determined by other industries.

He said a downturn in the gold mining industry had meant there were no more flights servicing fly-in fly-out workers, and the closure

Close Essendon Airport campaign spokeswoman Helen van den Berg said she believed the delay in releasing the master plan was because a noise exposure map in the draft did not match noise complaints and data gathered by residents. ‘‘You feel like you complain and nothing changes but this shows we are having an impact,’’ she said.

Mrs Van den Berg said she believed Airservices Australia was not satisfied with the noise map and had asked Essendon Airport to revise it. The Weekly was unable to substantiate this claim.

Kitchens from $1,970

of an oil rig ended a number of helicopter flights.

Mr Ware said community consultation on the plan would start by early July.

Airservices Australia last year revealed a 12 per cent increase in corporate jet traffic at the Essendon Airport, with jet movements increasing from 3500 a year to 4500 a year during the past three years.

Much of the increased air traffic was attributed to private charters flying workers to mining industry jobs in Western Australia.

FLEMINGTON’S Mount Alexander College is using an innovative technique to keep its students engaged and interested in writing and drawing.

The school’s year 7 students are working one-on-one with professional cartoonist Peader Thomas to produce comic books telling their own life stories.

Mr Thomas is at the school one day a week helping 25 students.

Once their work is finished, it will be published online.

Mr Peader said comics were a great medium for the students to tell their stories with flair and fun.

“The kids here are from so many different countries and backgrounds and have great stories to tell. ‘‘These comics act as a bridge between writing and art.”

Flemington Men’s Shed open day Date: Sunday, June 16, 11am-2pm Venue: ‘The Shed’, 126 Racecourse Road, Flemington Estate For more information or to RSVP to a Men’s Health Week event, visit mvcc.vic.gov.au/connected or call 9243 8888.

Students in one of the two classes taking part are close to completing their stories and are now being coached on how to draw themselves and inject facial expressions and backgrounds.

College art teacher Jenny Cocks says the students are gaining the ability to express their stories, conveying them through a more expressive medium than the traditional approach. ‘‘Peader is opening the world of cartooning to them, introducing all the skills and techniques needed. ‘‘Most students sketch and doodle so cartooning is a natural progression from that.’’

The school received a $10,000 state government Artist in Schools grant to take part in the program.

Are we adventuring in NT’s Top End, you ask? No, my friends. Welcome to Victoria’s own Kakadu – right here on Melbourne’s doorstep.

World-best environmental practice has transformed Western Treatment Plant into wetlands of international importance.

Werribee’s “big stink”, as I knew it as a child, is no longer on the nose. In fact it’s become a destination in its own right, attracting both birds and bird lovers from all over the world.

A third of all the bird species that have been recorded in Australia – including the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot – have been spotted on the 10,500-hectare site. The plant treats about 50 per cent of Melbourne’s sewage but also generates almost 40 billion litres of recycled water a year and produces its own electricity.

“As soon as you come in here your perception of what a sewage treatment plant should be changes,” Melbourne Water education programs co-ordinator Chris Lunardi says.

“I think everyone who uses the toilet should come to this place and just see what we can do to turn something so long considered just waste into something really valuable on an international level.”

Timed to coincide with Men’s Health Week (June 10-16), the activities aim to encourage men and boys to discuss and be more aware of their health.

Mayor Narelle Sharpe said that compared to women, men visit the doctor less often, have shorter visits and attend only when their illness is in its later stages.

Commuter patience down to wire

Tough start for parents

BY EUGENE BENSON

SUPPLIED

COPPER thefts on the Craigieburn railway line wreaked havoc again last week, causing major delays on Wednesday and Thursday.

Copper is used extensively in the train signalling systems. With its value escalating in recent years, it has become increasingly targeted by thieves.

There were 41 incidents of copper wire theft in 2012 on the Metro network, 17 thefts along the 26-kilometre Craigieburn line – the most on Metro’s Melbourne train lines. This year there have been 19 across the network.

Frustrated Craigieburn line commuter Anthony MacMahon said he wasn’t sure the management was up to scratch considering regular delays caused by the same problem. ‘‘I never know what they are doing back there at the head office – if this copper keeps getting stolen and is causing these delays, what are they doing to fix the problem? ‘‘Surely it’s costing them to replace the copper but it’s costing residents, their customers, time and patience with all the delays.’’

In January, Metro started using a low-noise helicopter to survey the rail network overnight and try to stop the thefts. The helicopter, equipped with a heat-sensitive and low-light camera, can capture more than 12 kilometres of the network at any one time.

Last Thursday the line played host to the final day of Western Metropolitan Greens MP Colleen Hartland’s “train station blitz’’.

With a Denis Napthine cardboard cut-out tucked under her arm, Ms Hartland was at Ascot Vale station during the morning peak to speak to commuters.

She has taken the cut-out to all the western suburbs train lines to learn what areas need to be improved and to lobby the state government to invest more in rail.

Ms Hartland said commuters had enjoyed seeing the cut-out of Mr Napthine because ‘‘they figure it’s going to be the only time they will see him using public transport’’.

“I witnessed late trains every second day.

Much bigger problems shutting down whole train lines weren’t uncommon.”

Training day: Greens MP Colleen Hartland visited Ascot Vale railway station to speak to commuters.

SALVATION Army headquarters in Moonee Ponds is being inundated with single parents struggling to make ends meet on the Newstart allowance.

Since January this year residents formerly on Centrelink’s parent payment scheme of $663 a fortnight were switched to the Newstart dole allowance of $533 a fortnight or about $35 a day.

Moonee Ponds Salvation Army branch lieutenant Laurel Cummins said the Newstart payment was clearly not enough. ‘‘We have actually run out of money this month because the demand is so great,’’ she said.

“Not just single mums coming in but single dads as well who are just not coping. ‘‘People want vouchers for shopping and we give out food parcels; we have just doubled our intake from Vic Foodbank because the need is so overwhelming.’’

The situation in Moonee Valley is echoed Australia-wide, with the Salvos’ National Economic and Social Impact Survey 2013 indicating there has been a 12 per cent rise in the number of people on Newstart who have sought help from The Salvation Army.

The report collected data from 2705 clients at 237 Salvation Army centres across Australia.

Lieutenant Cummins said the past few weeks had been overwhelming. ‘‘I give people a couple of bags of groceries and they cry, they are so grateful. It’s awful.’’

The Salvation Army has seen a downturn in funds donated through its Red Shield Appeal.

Few tears shed as Reading departs Tolls nothing new

ALAN MURPHY MURPHY’S LORE

M

CRAIG ABRAHAM

ost of us will be pleased to see the back of US cinema chain Reading, which demolished the Moonee Parks Market in 1997 to make way for a $25 million development of 12 cinemas, restaurants, cafes and 500 car spaces. About 1300 residents unsuccessfully petitioned against the closure of the people’s market but to no avail.

But Hoyts, concerned about competition for its Highpoint complex, took on Reading – and lost at the Victorian Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Unperturbed, Hoyts and a Moonee Ponds family lodged a Supreme Court action a year later. Reading, frustrated by the protracted delays, lost interest in the site.

Three former mayors – Eugene Hammer, Trevor Sinclair and Don Cornish – publicly vented their anger with Reading, which simply stopped communicating with the council.

The site has since been a disaster described accurately last week by another former mayor, Jim Cusack, as an eyesore. Lore’s sources confirmed more than seven years ago that Reading would not proceed with the

development. When the 1.3-hectare site is sold, council will have the opportunity to negotiate a major development for the Moonee Ponds Activity Centre Zone. The people might get their market back!

Rotary comes full circle Essendon railway station is free of graffiti after a concerted effort by Essendon Rotarians earlier this month. Second only to Caulfield as the busiest metropolitan station, Essendon was a disgrace, the graffiti vandals having found it

an ideal venue to practise their craft. Now the walls are clean again, freshly painted after 40 Rotarians gave up a Sunday morning to give the area a long-overdue makeover.

The club has given wool valued at $2000 to the Caroline Chisholm Society, the voluntary knitters of which have produced much-needed clothing for client babies. Essendon Rotarians have been preoccupied with community projects in Myanmar, the Philippines and Africa, so it’s good to see the 78-year-old club back serving the local community.

Freeway tolls are newsworthy again as the government begins planning for the east-west freeway. We have never accepted the Moreland Road tolling of the Tullamarine Freeway, but it is an argument council will never win.

Tolls, though, are not new in the district.

More than a century ago a toll keeper sat at Moonee Ponds Junction charging for every horse-driven vehicle to cross Puckle Street.

Drivers tossed coins into a box, but many bounced out on to the dirt road. Enterprising youngsters regularly sifted through the dirt at night, recovering the lost coins. No such luck with getting our money back from CityLink.

Sign overtime Buckley Street motorists were warned to expect delays in West Essendon from April 29 to May 13, but there have been few, if any, delays as City West Water lays new pipes. As we roll into June, two electronic signs remain in place. If council is paying rent for the signage, it is time for the signs to be removed.

The final word ...

Avondale Heights and East Keilor Residents Association president Frank Di Blasi said it was a smart move to locate the early years centre near the library to create a community hub. ‘‘It’s good planning and something we should all be looking forward to.

The symbolic ground breaking signifies the start of stage 2A of the Avondale Heights Community Precinct Vision and Master Plan.

The early years centre will include two preschool rooms, two maternal and child health consulting suites, and a landscaped play area.

Moonee Valley Council committed $2 million to construction of the centre and the state government has put forward $200,000.

Mayor Narelle Sharpe said the centre will allow families to access a variety of services in one location.

“Not only will families be able to access preschool and maternal, and child health services within the centre, they’ll also have access to a range of other associated services next door at Avondale Heights Library and Learning Centre.

Grounded House in Macaulay Road – the sweet smell of Italian coffee gets the heart pumping before a ride. But of course there’s always Kensington Pizza for that post-ride pizza – yum!

Where is your neighbourhood retreat spot?

I don’t retreat; I cycle. I ride along the Maribyrnong River, fighting the wind to Poyntons Nursery, or maybe try the switchback past the footbridge at Afton Street in Moonee Ponds – otherwise known as l’Alpe d’Huez after the Le Tour de France hills. It’s definitely a great training run.

What change would you be happy to see in your area?

It is really frustrating as a cyclist and bike safety teacher to find that half the bicycle lanes on the road just stop. It would also be great to see a

coffee shop where we can park our bikes instead of fighting with all the other cyclists for the nearest pole.

What changes in your patch have you been sad to see?

The loss of a butcher in Kensington is always a sore point for anyone who has lived here a while; also the loss of the little shoe repair shop outside Kensington station – it became a coffee shop for a while, but it hasn’t opened in years.

Share a funny story of being out and about in the ’hood.

As I was powering up a hill one day, I overtook a lycra-clad cyclist. When we met up at the lights, he said: “Bloody hell, I just got passed by a girl on bloody Kensington Hill!”

The slogan now on the back of my Wheel Women jersey? “You just got passed by a girl”.

A cycle of change

BY EUGENE BENSON A CYCLING revolution is under way among women riders in the west.

A free cycling program which wheeled into Moonee Valley earlier this year has been such a success it’s back again until the end of June.

Organiser Tina McCarthy, of Wheel Women, says AustCycle has provided funding to run more programs aimed at getting women into cycling for transport and fun.

The program introduces women to the health and social benefits of cycling and teaches basic safety and skills such as changing tyres.

Many of the participants in February’s program featured in the Moonee Valley Weekly have remained regular riders.

Ms McCarthy said one group of women had transformed from struggling to riding more than five kilometres, then to completing a 50-kilometre ride as part of the recent Ballarat Autumn Day cycling event. Participant Alicia, who didn’t

Up Adam INSIDESTORY

and

Despite hosting TV shows in both hemispheres, Adam Hills still has a soft spot for stand-up, writes Benjamin Millar

I

t’s a crisp autumn morning and comedian and TV host Adam Hills has dropped into Yarraville’s Sun Theatre for our photo shoot before the short dash home to his daughter Beatrice Pearl’s third birthday party.

Hills’ expressive face lights up as he mentions the balloons and you can see the doting father is already happily lost in a world of streamers, fairy bread and cast-off pass-theparcel wrappings.

It triggers fond recollections of his own 40th birthday celebrations here at the Sun Theatre, replete with a screening of Toy Story 3.

But the happy visage darkens as it dawns on him that his pre-party ‘window’ isn’t so perfectly timed after all – he hasn’t realised he’s also meant to be doing the interview.

A valiant attempt at rattling off answers while posing for photos is abandoned with a profusely apologetic promise to meet up again the next morning.

Hills disappears with his car full of balloons but, true to his word, is back at Yarraville’s Corner Shop cafe the next morning.

Far more relaxed, though still apologetic, Hills cheerfully shares tales of his whirlwind stand-up comedy tour around Australia, playing to audiences of up to 2500 people.

He’s enjoying being back in Yarraville, his home of almost four years, but the pleasure will be fleeting. He is scheduled to fly to the UK to perform a six-minute piece for a variety show – “It’s kind of crazy but it’s for a good cause” – just after starting recording of the third series of Adam Hills Tonight.

As soon as that series wraps up he will jet back to London for a third run of his Channel 4 chat show The Last Leg. “It’s just bonkers at the moment. People assume I’m a workaholic but it’s not that, I just keep getting offered these things.”

Like many ‘overnight success stories,’ Hills has spent years honing his craft. It’s almost 24 years since the awkward 19-year-old first hopped behind the microphone looking for laughs.

But he sees the countless late nights in front of small crowds in far-flung places as all part of the rite of passage that has created the polished

performer now beamed into living rooms across the nation.

Hills says time in Sydney, Adelaide and now Melbourne has all helped build his approach to comedy.

“Sydney comedy is more like a business or an office, whereas Melbourne comedy is like a big old dysfunctional family; you hate each other, you fight, you sleep with each other’s partners but at the end of the day you all love each other.”

He suggests Sydney is more about laughs per minute whereas Melbourne is about what you’re doing with those laughs.

“A combination of the two is perfect. Maybe that’s why I can make my comedy work around the world because I’ve got a bit of both. I can hopefully get people involved and fired up, get the laughs per minute and make it mean something.”

Whether it’s fatherhood, the emergence of a few grey hairs or words of wisdom from a spiritual leader, this idea of “making it mean something” has been on Hills’ mind for some time.

“It’s a fun craft, comedy, because it has to be continuously honed as your life changes.

As I get older and even just becoming a dad, you have to expect it to change. And, really, starting to go grey, a few grey hairs means you can actually give opinions on stage and people will actually listen to you.”

He recalls appearing at an event where the Dalai Lama was also speaking and hearing words that have stuck with him ever since.

“He came backstage and said, ‘I’m a Buddhist monk, I don’t know music and I don’t know comedy, but you have a microphone, say something.’ That is what my current stand-up show is about, using the microphone to say something.”

Now 43, Hills notes comedy has become far more mainstream over the 24 years since he first gave it a crack. Comedians are no longer the outsiders he says.

“We’re the stars, people are listening to us. With that comes the responsibility to think about what you’re putting into the microphone.”

[ 12 ] MOONEE VALLEY WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE May 28, 2013

Last year his ABC show featured a mass gay wedding and Hills makes no apologies for tackling matters about which he feels strongly.

He isn’t big on political comedy but more interested in what he calls social politics.

“In this show, there’s a lot about immigration and racism, just because that’s where my head was when I was putting the show together. I would rather make a point about people’s lives, if there is one.”

Hills concedes you can’t change the world through comedy, but you can perhaps plant a seed.

“If it’s something people are afraid of, whether immigration or same-sex marriage, your first step is to stop them being afraid. And if you can make them laugh your first step is done.”

As a staff member checks whether we need anything, Hills sheepishly enquires about a chocolate milkshake. His eyes sparkle at the offer of malt and he admits this is one of the habits he has picked up from his daughter Beatrice.

“As she’s getting older her sense of humour is getting better and her sense of fun, too. She’s appreciating my sense of humour and I’m appreciating hers.”

While his current schedule might not show it, Hills insists it’s good to settle down and he’s pleased to call Yarraville home after moving here with his wife, renowned opera singer Ali McGregor.

“It’s got a real village atmosphere. It’s its own little eclectic, artistic community. You can never be sure if your neighbour’s a stock broker, a drug dealer or a musician.”

Hills has memories of a happy childhood home, safely nestled in Sydney’s leafy Sutherland Shire. Home was supportive, but school was another battle entirely.

It’s possible to trace his comedy career back to a schoolyard where difference was rarely encouraged.

“I was a relatively smart kid at school and I was a kid with one foot, so ...” he raises an eyebrow.

“I was in Ireland once with a bunch of comedians playing pool and we had a discussion about being bullied at school.

Hills concedes you can’t change the world through comedy, but you can perhaps plant a seed.

Everyone named their bully and I think that’s possibly who every comedian is rebelling against, the kid who picked on them or looked down on them at school. Often the way you got through school was to crack jokes.”

MICHAEL COPP

Born with only one foot, Hills wears a prosthetic leg. He is perfectly comfortable speaking about it and the foot has featured in his stand-up for some time, but it took a long while before he was comfortable enough to reach that point.

“There were two bits of advice I got when I started out. One was not to talk about my leg straight away, or you just become the onelegged comic. The other was ‘don’t talk about your leg until you’ve worked out how to do comedy’.”

Someone quite certain Hills has worked this out is Bruce Kane.

As executive producer of both Adam Hills in Gordon Street Tonight and Spicks and Specks, Kane has watched Hills develop into a polished performer and considers him a natural television host.

“People relate extremely well to Adam and have right from the start,” he says.

“When you have such a long run of shows like we did with Spicks and Specks, you are in people’s living rooms a lot. You have to be a real person as well as entertaining, there has to be something people relate to. There is just something about him.”

Kane says Hills has a fine-tuned sense of when to put on the comedy and when to let things flow. He has also seen Hills perform under less than ideal circumstances.

“I remember Ross Noble coming on and landing on him from the top of the steps and managing to headbutt him in the nose with his full weight. It was extraordinary that he kind of soldiered on. He also did one of the Gordon Street shows with an enormously high fever.

We weren’t sure he could go on and we were literally having to towel him down he was sweating so profusely, but he managed to do it.”

Hills is still pinching himself about having his own UK TV program. He says there is no way he could have pitched the show to a network – “Three guys with four legs talking about the week”.

“We wanted to celebrate the Paralympics.

And that provides beautiful comedic tension, celebrating something people are uneasy about,” he said.

“Because of how it started, the show is just about finding joy in the week. It is so positive – one of the catchphrases that has come out of it is ‘don’t be a dick’. What that’s saying is don’t be mean, be constructive, contribute. There’s an underlying sense of good there I think.”

The success of the Last Leg in the UK has opened a whole new set of doors for Hills and he has no idea what the future may hold.

“You have to keep challenging yourself, otherwise you get bored, too, and that’s deadly for a comedian.”

“I’m not happy if I don’t do stand-up, if I’m not on stage. I get nervous, I’m convinced I’m going to be shit, but the alternative is to not do it and that is far worse than getting up there and being shit.”

One for the kids

A TV favourite takes to the stage to support youth mental health. By Robert Fedele

S

Patrick McGorry, at one point or another. ‘‘[Then] someone had the bright idea, could we do the big full-blown RocKwiz experience?’’

Nankervis says the ball began rolling and the event quickly became a reality. ‘‘This just seemed such a great cause. It’s crucial that we have a body like Orygen doing work like this caring for young people and mental health.’’

Nankervis, a well-known entertainer and comedian, says the RocKwiz team visited the Melbourne Town Hall last week for a run through. ‘‘It’s a fantastic room. I’ve always enjoyed performing at the Town Hall. ‘‘To actually go in there with the RocKwiz team is very exciting.’’

RocKwiz first aired in January, 2005, and quickly became an audience favourite.

Nankervis says it’s been a joy working on the show and puts its success down to a range of factors, one of them being popular host Zemiro. ‘‘She’s smart and funny and can be serious when she needs to be.

TEAGAN GLENANE

ongs about mental illness and substance abuse would normally raise a few eyebrows, but if anyone can make them work it’s the RocKwiz team.

The crew from the cult music television show will bring its “big full-blown experience” to city audiences in a special live show at the Melbourne Town Hall in support of leading youth mental health provider Orygen Youth Health.

Co-host Brian Nankervis says the team jumped at the chance to be involved when approached by Orygen.

The SBS show is usually filmed at the famed Espy Hotel in St Kilda but last year toured across the country. Nankervis says this event already has much the same feel. ‘‘This feels like it will be another big live show. There’s some liberation for us about not performing in front of cameras at The Espy.’’

The partnership with Orygen occurred by chance, with Nankervis and fellow co-host Julia Zemiro both crossing paths with the organisation’s executive director, Professor

Good cause: Brian Nankervis and the rest of the RocKwiz team are doing a special show to help mental health provider Orygen Youth Health.

‘‘She can flirt with the men and the women,’’ he says, tongue in cheek.

Another reason, Nankervis says, is the show’s commitment to promoting music of all sorts. Nankervis’s son Liam plays in the band Saskwatch, described as Melbourne’s monsters of soul, and has appeared on the show. ‘‘I think people like this idea that we are fostering and supporting new artists. We always have a household name combined with someone obscure.’’

Nankervis says the show has let him indulge his own musical tastes. ‘‘I’m a rock tragic.

I’m a real music fan. [But] I don’t play an instrument. For me it’s a dream come true. I can have ideas about who should play or sing and we can make it happen.’’

All profits from RocKwiz Rocks Youth Mental Health will go to Orygen Youth Health.

The show is on Thursday, June 13, at the Melbourne Town Hall from 8pm-10pm. To purchase tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.au/ RocKwiz-tickets/artist/1378553

Sticking with tradition Get a bite-size taste of the flavours of Sicily

HILARY McNEVIN EATING OUT

L’ANGOLO

I

Address: 19 Pratt Street, Moonee Ponds Contact: 9077 6735, langoloitaliano.com.au Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 7.30am-5.30pm Licensed SUPPLIED

n the heart of Moonee Ponds shopping hub is L’Angolo, a small Italian restaurant with a menu focused on authentic Sicilian dishes.

The sign outside says it’s a rosticceria and cucina. The cucina part (Italian for kitchen) I understood, but the rosticceria aspect was something I needed to explore further.

Rosticceria turns out to be traditional Sicilian finger food, whether sweet or savoury.

These can be a starter, something to share or a satisfying snack.

L’Angolo is producing so many varied, tasty bites, it can be hard to decide what to have.

You may be familiar with the small Italian bites such as arancini – risotto rolled into balls, crumbed and fried – or pizzette, tiny pizzas with simple toppings such as ham and cheese.

These are included at l’Angolo. One interesting element here is that all the rosticceria is sold by the kilo ($30/kg).

We bought about six different bites that came to $8 – there was a margarita pizzette, arancini carne (with peas, parmesan and beef), a pastry filled with prosciutto and ricotta or pancetta, swiss cheese and mushroom.

Then there are the other dishes on the menu; handmade pastas feature in a fettucine marinara ($16.50) with generous amounts of calamari, clams and prawns; the gnocchi

all’Amatriciana ($15) is not too soft but gentle to the bite. Its mix of tomatoes, bacon, chilli and parmesan cheese is a robust, traditional combination.

Panini (sandwiches) include the timeless piadini (a flatbread $9.50) filled with prosciutto, parmesan and rocket leaves and toasted. There’s also one with a simple filling of ham, cheese and tomato.

Italians do sweet treats brilliantly and the sweet rosticceria is absolutely worth trying.

The Iris is soft pastry filled with sweet ricotta and chocolate chips – it’s just the right size and an even match to the wellmade coffee.

L’Angolo offers respite but also insight into a historically rich culture that celebrates the south of Italy and a beautiful, quality cuisine.

n today’s busy world, people don’t often have time to visit the fruiterer, butcher and fishmonger, but for shoppers still wanting fresh and healthy produce, Fresh on Young (FOY) in Moonee Ponds provides a one-stop shop to make life that little bit easier.

Manager Lee Abouzeid says the business has a tradition of supporting Australian growers and as a shopping destination it offers efficiency and convenience.

The food hall sells a wide selection of fresh fruit and vegies, meat and poultry, seafood, antipasti, cooked charcoal chickens and continental groceries.

In the past year, Fresh on Young has undergone extensive renovations to meet the needs of the growing community.

WE LOV E IT

I

f ever the vagaries of Melbourne’s climate could be compressed into one place at one time, it’s here – four seasons in full view at once, from the balcony that girds this glorious penthouse high above Shuter and Puckle streets.

“It’s a 270-degree view from the West Gate Bridge to Mount Macedon to the Dandenongs,” says its owner, “and sometimes it can be bright sunshine here but grey over east and absolutely pouring in the hills.

“You don’t get the city skyline, but that is where the weather comes from, so they really get hammered on that side,’’ he says. “Here I get the benefit of the northern sun. In the summer the sun sets over the You Yangs; I’ve seen the most beautiful sunsets here.”

He has even cultivated a herb garden, another benefit of the pleasant micro-climate created by a sheltered balcony.

Indeed, everything about this svelte apartment seems blissfully secure, even cosy, despite its hard-edged chic. It’s one of just four penthouses atop a 10-year-old block that, at six storeys, is the second-highest building in Moonee Ponds.

It seems a surprising addition to the neighbourhood, which is renowned for garden-rich interwar houses and the Edwardian shop-terraces of Puckle Street. Tucked in a utilitarian side street off Puckle, the block is hardly noticeable, and has all the advantages of the shops and train station without bearing down on the genteel streetscape.

Sprawled across a single level, the penthouse is dominated by the 12.5-metre living area, whose three-metre ceiling seems to have spared the owner his fear of claustrophobia; it’s bright, white and airy with a flexible floor plan that allows him to show his contemporary art collection to best effect.

Tall windows and sliding doors – edged in black aluminium in the style pioneered by Melbourne architect Wayne Gillespie – frame that magnificent westerly view.

At first glance, the floor looks to be American oak but is actually Italian porcelain tough enough to also serve the kitchen, which nestles behind a black stone island north of the dining area. Neat, pale grey and glossy, it has a Bosch dishwasher and black stone benches flanking the electric cooktop and oven.

The penthouse’s east side is given to three double bedrooms, two facing sunny south. The third, lit by a skylight, is currently used as a study. The gaily-striped main bedroom, 4.5 metres wide, opens to the balcony and to a fitted walk-in wardrobe through which one strolls to the lustrous white shower en suite. (Modest types might like to add a bathroom door.) The white-tiled main bathroom is off the foyer and has a shower above the bath and a laundry area.

Local downsizers – especially those who like to walk to shops and station – are showing keen interest in the property.

“The central location has been the biggest benefit,” says the owner, who is upsizing to a house and garden but will continue to frequent his favourite hang-out, Café Luis, in Puckle Street. “It is low-maintenance living, something I have always liked along with the views. I like being able to survey the area,” he says, gazing over the jumble of old red-brick terraces and bustling streets streaked by the silvery tracks of the Craigieburn line; a Utopian vision of the village that so many parts of Melbourne long to be, and that Moonee Ponds intends to stay. \ ALISON BARCLAY property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Elevated and conveniently close to the freeway, Hutchinson Street is populated by period properties beside modern counterparts. Though this modern residence was recently built for a large family, it retains old-fashioned draw with a big backyard accommodating a play area with cubby, vegetable gardens, fruit trees and a big rumpus room atop the rear garage. The lower level of the house has three bedrooms, a laundry, bathroom, gym, cellar and huge rumpus room opening to a big rear balcony.

The upper level has the main bedroom suite plus two bedrooms, a study, bathroom, and semi open-plan dining, kitchen and living areas. Two sets of glass doors provide access from the living area to the upper balcony and its views. With polished floorboards, tiled and carpeted floors, a CaesarStone and stainless-steel kitchen, heating, air-conditioning and oodles of storage; the sum of these parts is a whole lot of house geared toward comfortable, contemporary family living.

A modest façade with a silver birch-lined path reveals light living spaces with high ceilings, three bedrooms and two outdoor areas. The long, rectangular residence wraps around a central-decked courtyard as well as having a rear deck and small garden. White interiors and polished floors have a timeless appeal throughout. The front bedroom has built-in wardrobes and shelving. A large living room separates it from an open kitchen and meals area. High sloping ceilings really enliven this space, which has a wall of windows to the central courtyard, filling it with plenty of light. The all-white kitchen features a Chef wall oven and pantry cupboards. The small deck is an ideal barbecue spot and a natural extension of the dining area. Bedroom two faces onto the other side of the courtyard and bedroom three has a rear aspect. The main bathroom makes an impression with shiny black embossed floor and wall tiles. The laundry provides storage options and leads to a rear garden. A single-car garage at the front also has one off-street parking space. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

ESSENDON \ 136 OGILVIE STREET A California bungalow perched above a beautiful front yard filled with standard roses hides an incredible surprise behind its classic frontage.

Move past the four bedrooms (three with built-in-wardrobes and the main with an en suite) and the grandeur of the shared bathroom with its intricate floor tiling and claw foot tub to arrive at a spectacular family living space.

The L-shaped room encompasses a large living area warmed by a combustion wood heater on the one side, and the dining space on the other.

Joining them is the kitchen with granite benchtops open to all the commotion a family house engenders.

But it is in the pulling back of the bifold doors that frame this area that the real magic is revealed, effectively opening the entire back of the house to the covered timber deck and aquamarine swimming pool beyond.

Add to this the double garage housing an upstairs home office or teenagers’ retreat with kitchenette and easy access to the bathroom leading to the pool and this house becomes a hugely appealing proposition.

Extra off-street parking is a bonus. \ SARINA LEWIS

Demure yet inviting, this 1950s weatherboard sits high on the hill above Oak Park and has a north-facing rear garden bathed in sunshine. Its deep 705-square-metre block makes it ripe for development, with up to three units allowed (STCA) in this quiet, pretty street where detached houses in huge gardens are the standard.

But there is much to admire about the existing house, whose well-maintained beauty was enhanced with polished hardwood floors and a timber kitchen about 20 years ago.

Three double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, open off the central hall and share a large bathroom with separate shower and bath. The sunny living room has picture rails and an original brick fireplace. A renovator might open this room to the west side deck, which at present is reached via the laundry. As for the address, there would be no complaints from the kids – it’s in a family-filled cul-de-sac two doors from K.A. Smith Reserve and a few minutes’ walk from schools, the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail and the Essendon-Niddrie bus. \ ALISON BARCLAY

With three levels and views of the Maribyrnong River, this townhouse is well placed for inner-city living and access to parklands. A secure sandstone-paved courtyard is an elegant introduction to the contemporary interiors. Three bedrooms with mirrored built-in wardrobes and taupe carpet are on the ground level. The main bedroom has a stylish en suite with mirrored cabinets. The other two bedrooms have access to a rear west-facing balcony. A laundry provides storage in addition to under-stair storage on this floor. An open-plan kitchen and dining area is found upstairs. This room runs the full width of the façade and has a bright and airy feel. The kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel Bosch appliances and has a white CaesarStone island bench and glossy cabinetry that brighten the space. A shiny red glass splashback adds interest. A second living space has bifold doors to the upper balcony overlooking the river. A fully-fitted study is incorporated here. A lower ground floor houses a double garage with further storage. \ EMMA HOUGHTON

Pretty-as-a-picture street frontage of this post-World War II weatherboard cottage demonstrates that sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. The neat front yard with its path winding to the simple beauty of the leadlight front door tells a tale of a house lovingly cared for by its vendors. The renovation is thoughtful.

Period features (think decorative ceiling roses and intricate cornices) have been spruced up to match the renovations made where change counts: largely, in the bathroom and living spaces. All three bedrooms – the main with ornate fireplace – have built-in wardrobes.

Pushing out one side of the house to the fence line has allowed space for a European laundry, linen cupboard and bathroom expansion chic in its colour scheme of cream, charcoal and stone.

The cathedral ceiling in the kitchen and dining area brings light and space as a complement to the warmth of polished timber floorboards. Out the back, a tidy lawn backs onto the single-car, remote-controlled garage that contains a powder room and more storage. \ SARINA LEWIS

Simplicity is key to this semi-updated Victorian cottage. Coddled in a tiny no-through-street, the single-fronted residence delivers a practical floor plan with an indoor/outdoor rear. Trams, shops and schools are nearby and market-entry appeal is bolstered by the possibility of renovating and extending (STCA). The block-fronted façade is introduced by a brick-paved verandah. Inside, paintwork is fresh, and original and added floorboards are Baltic pine. The first bedroom has an open fireplace with a marbled timber mantel, a ceiling rose and a big window to the verandah. The second bedroom has a fireplace and a closet. Opening through glass doors to a side path, the central living room sports a third fireplace on a tiled hearth. The bathroom/laundry has an antique-style timber vanity and a shower over a bath. The kitchen and meals area has timber benchtops, an oversized Smeg oven and a walk-in pantry. Glass doors connect the meals area with the rear deck, which isn’t deep, but it’s private. Leaving doors open creates a breezy flow. \ KAY KEIGHERY

An apartment in this brand-new Mills Gorman-designed The Edge development offers a bright slice of easy living in a quiet part of Maribyrnong. Approach through the secure front entrance to the ground-floor apartment with its own courtyard.

The open-plan kitchen, living and dining space takes up the lion’s share of space; the kitchen is equipped with stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances and glass splashbacks. There is a split-system air-conditioner to warm and cool and, of course, a flow through to that aforementioned outdoor space. The private zones offer much. A main bedroom has a walk-in-wardrobe (a boon for an apartment of this size) and access to the courtyard – paved, but with a section of artificial lawn – through a glass door that allows plenty of light in.

A second bedroom has built-in wardrobes and is serviced by the shared bathroom. There is a separate laundry, a secure underground car park alongside a lock-up storage cage, and just seven kilometres between you and the city. \ SARINA LEWIS

There are hundreds of reasons to sell your home with Pennisi Real Estate, Your approved Jenman Agent. Here are 8.

1 / Honest Quoting

5 / Respect For You & Your Property

You receive a guarantee that the selling price you are quoted will be honest and accurate. If your home sells below the price quoted, you will not be charged any commission. This means you can trust the agent’s quote.

As your agent we protect your privacy and your reasons for selling. Buyers will never be encouraged to offer a low price for your home. We encourage you to mystery-shop our agency to see how we place such a high importance on respecting home sellers and protecting their interests.

Don’t Sign ANYTHING! Until you are given a guarantee on the quoted selling price.

Don’t Sign ANYTHING! Until you are guaranteed that your personal details are protected.

2 / ‘Fair-Go’ Fees

6 / Secure Inspections

Pennisi APPROVED representatives are trained negotiators.This means a better price for your home. The extra you receive should more than cover the selling fee. However, unless you believe you have indeed received the bestmarket price for your home, you can pay us nothing.

You have our commitment that no one will inspect your home unless they have been identified and they are genuine buyers. You will not have hordes of strangers or neighbours coming for a ‘sticky-beak’. Your personal security is something we take very seriously.

Don’t Sign ANYTHING! Until you have a guarantee that you decide how much you pay.

3 / No Fees In Advance

Don’t Sign ANYTHING! Until you are guaranteed no bogus inspections.

7 / Final Selling Price

You do not pay any money in advance for any reason, including Advertising.

Until your home is sold you pay nothing. Unless we do what was promised to you, you do not pay anything. This means you cannot lose money if your home does not sell or if you change your mind and decide not to sell.

The final selling price for your home will be the best market price available. If any buyer pays less than they were willing to pay, then as your agent we will either pay you the difference or forfeit the selling fee. This means you will not make the common mistake of under-selling your home.

Don’t Sign ANYTHING! Until you are guaranteed that you pay nothing until your home is sold and you are delighted.

4 / Advertising

Don’t Sign ANYTHING! Until you are guaranteed that the selling price is the best market price.

8 / Jenman Guarantee

Typical real estate advertising can have a major impact on the value of your home. As your agent we will protect the value of your home by only bringing it to the attention of buyers who are genuine and qualified. If advertising sold your home why would you need an agent?

Perhaps you may be better off selling without an agent. It’s not as hard as you may think.

Aside from willingly signing a 16-point Consumer Protection Guarantee, only an APPROVED Jenman agent offers you Neil Jenman’s personal guarantee.

No other group of estate agents offers a personal guarantee from their CEO. This means you are assured of the best price and the best service.

Don’t Sign ANYTHING! Until you know the value of your home is protected.

Don’t Sign ANYTHING! Until you have Neil Jenman’s Personal Guarantee.

Sound too good to be true?

Just ask your approved agent to explain more.

United bounces back Heights has preserved its unbeaten record and ladder position in the promotion places.

Avondale Heights has 15 points in second on the ladder from Brunswick City and Keilor park on 14 each.

Ladder leader Moreland City (16 points) played Preston Lions on Sunday after the Weekly went to print.

Next up for Avondale Heights is Westgate (eighth, seven points) at Doyle Street Reserve on Saturday.

In state league 5 west, Melbourne Tornado’s revival was short-lived as the Flemington-based outfit fell to a 5-3 loss against Keilor Wolves.

ESSENDON United returned to winning form while neighbour Essendon Royals crashed back to earth in Football Federation Victoria state league action on Saturday.

United beat Western Eagles 4-2 to return to the state league 4 west midtable mix while Royals were stunned 3-0 by previously winless Hoppers Crossing.

There were three important points for FC Strathmore too, which beat Brunswick Zebras 2-0 to climb away from the relegation zone.

The results have compressed the ladder further, with run-away leader Corio on 19 points at the top but second (Geelong Rangers, 14) to ninth (Surf Coast, eight points) are separated by just six points.

United sits fourth with 10 points and a level goal difference while Royals (10 points) are sixth with a minus three goal difference. FC Strathmore is up to eighth place with eight points.

United fell behind to Western Eagles and trailed at half-time before an equaliser 10 minutes into the second half from Andrew Imvriotis.

United led 3-1 before Western Eagles pulled a goal back to set up a tense finish, only for Nathan Chapman to make the points safe by extending United’s lead to 4-2.

Hoppers Crossing went into the weekend with just one point from its six matches to date but shocked Essendon Royals with a 3-0 win.

The result left FC Strathmore needing to win to keep its distance from the bottom two and it did so with a 2-0 victory away at Brunswick Zebras.

This weekend’s Moonee Valley derby is between FC Strathmore and Essendon United at Strathnaver Reserve. Essendon Royals hosts Williamstown.

In state league 2 north-west it was much ado about nothing as Avondale Heights and Sydenham Park played out a goalless draw.

The stalemate means Avondale

Coach laments close shootout

Bombers drift further from top eight

BY TEO PELLIZZERI

BY TEO PELLIZZERI

THE margin was tight on Saturday but four fairly similar quarters of free-scoring action gave the impression that the match was rarely on Essendon’s terms.

Trying to lift the defensive pressure was one particular focus for Bombers coach Hayden Skipworth and his assistants.

In consecutive weeks the Bombers have been in the contest until the dying stages but lacked a dominant spell to push on for victory.

“We were trying to put a stop to the shootout, that’s not how we want to play all game,” Skipworth said.

“We couldn’t get deep enough entries into our forward 50m and unfortunately they hit the scoreboard a lot more than we did. We’ve got a habit of losing the close ones at the moment, that’s the third for the year.”

Ben Deuscher and Hal Hunter were two of Essendon’s midfield winners on a day where the stoppages were largely on Collingwood’s terms.

Deuscher started the game in a blaze of contested possessions, while Hunter ran out the match well after being shifted onto the ball in the second half.

“We talked about how we need to defend better, win more contests particularly at the stoppages,” Skipworth said.

“We were flat-footed and caught out at stoppages today.

We had enough (quality) in there with Kavanagh, Deuscher and Hams who can win the footy.

Their mids really hurt us. “[Deuscher’s] been building, to his own admission he had a slow start to the year but the last two weeks he’s moving in the right direction. Hopefully he can keep having big games for us, he’s one of a couple of players we expect to play like this every week.’’

Kicking out of defensive 50m was one area the Bombers put themselves under needless pressure though, with Hunter among the offenders with turnovers that resulted in a Collingwood shot on goal.

Scott Gumbleton was named Essendon’s first best after spending much of the day in the ruck. Skipworth praised Gumbleton’s ability to win the ball around the ground.

ESSENDON is losing touch with the VFL top eight after a nine-point defeat to Collingwood at Victoria Park on Saturday.

The high-scoring shoot-out was entertaining for the 3000-odd crowd but not so enjoyable for the Bombers as Collingwood won 18.14 (122) to Essendon 17.11 (113).

The loss leaves Essendon with two wins and five losses, already six premiership points adrift of eighth spot before matches played on Sunday after the Weekly went to print.

Collingwood’s Kyle Martin was brilliant with six goals on Saturday, his performance was desperately needed by the Pies after a fast Essendon start.

The Bombers led by 28 points in the opening quarter, kicking the first five goals of the game unanswered.

But having taken 19 minutes to kick a goal, Collingwood then booted the next five in a row to hit the front by the two-minute mark of the second term.

Essendon prodigy Joe Daniher kicked four goals to half-time and Corey Dell’Olio three as the big-man, little-man partnership proved prolific in the Bombers’ attacking 50 metres.

But the Collingwood midfield division, led by veteran ruckman Ben Hudson, kept the ascendancy as the teams traded second-quarter goals.

Dell’Olio’s goal seconds before the half-time siren had Essendon within five points, down 64-59.

Collingwood threatened to break the game open in the opening stages of the third quarter, with Caolan Mooney and Martin goaling quickly to have the Pies up by 17.

But Essendon would chip away at the deficit for 15 goalless Collingwood minutes, with Dell’Olio, Daniher, Hal Hunter and then Will Hams all kicking goals to put the Bombers up 85-82.

Another goal-for-goal exchanged followed, with Collingwood breaking the run of lead changes by booting back-to-back goals in the final three minutes of the quarter to lead by nine points at three-quarter time.

Essendon drew to within three points when Matthew Bate sunk a 48 metre set shot two minutes into the last quarter, but Martin snapped a

quick reply from the forward pocket to give the Pies breathing space.

The Bombers’ Tim Knowles had a tough set shot to draw the margin back to two but put it out on the full, with Collingwood sweeping end-to-end from the re-start to punish the miss with Ben Sinclair converting from 50 metres on the run.

While the goal was by no means a spirit breaker, the 14-point cushion was enough safety net for Collingwood to keep the margin between eight and 16 points for the rest of the game.

Daniher and Dell’Olio finished the game with five goals each, while Bate kicked three.

Essendon returns to Windy Hill this Saturday to play reigning premier Geelong from 1pm.

INBRIEF VAFA

St Bernards was close but not good enough to roll Old Xaverians in Premier on Saturday. The Snowdogs trailed narrowly at every change, ultimately losing 14.11 (95) to 16.15 (111). The defeat leaves St Bernards eighth on the ladder with two wins and five losses, above the relegation zone on percentage only. Andrew Merrington was the Snowdogs’ best with seven goals, while other leading players were Alexander Singleton, Tom Sullivan and three-goal Tim Harvey. St Bernards hosts De La Salle (third, 5-2) at the Snake Pit on Saturday from 2pm. In Premier C, PEGS could not overrun Monash Blues in the final term as the Bombers fell to a 13-point defeat. Down by 25 at the last change, PEGS won the final term but not by enough as it lost 7.10 (52) to 9.11 (65). The defeat leaves PEGS fifth on the ladder, heading into this weekend’s match away at Mazenod (second, 6-1).

Essendon proves a point Essendon maintained its top four status in the AFL with a convincing 29-point win against Richmond in the Dreamtime clash at the G on Saturday night. The seven-and-two Bombers broke their two-game losing streak with the convincing win. The gap blew out to more than 40 points in the third quarter on the way to the 13.13 (91) to 9.8 (62) result. A crowd of 84,234 further cemented the game’s status as one of the marquee home-and-away AFL fixtures. Leroy Jetta’s return to the seniors yielded 11 disposals, while Courtenay Dempsey had 28 possessions and made seven tackles. The Dons head to the SCG on Saturday for a twilight (4.40pm) start against reigning premier Sydney Swans.

Panthers leave nothing to chance

BY TEO PELLIZZERI THE opening exchanges may have sent a fright through the Pascoe Vale camp but a fast Oak Park start was irrelevant by the end of a 72-point drubbing in Essendon District Football League.

The Kangaroos are now staring down the barrel at relegation from Premier and are in need of a drastic improvement in form after the 15.12 (102) to 27.12 (174) defeat at JP Fawkner Reserve.

After losing the grand final by just two points in 2011, Oak Park is the last remaining winless team in Premier in 2013.

Pascoe Vale improved to one-

and-six with its breakthrough win and enjoys a significantly better percentage than the last-placed Kangaroos, 77.09 to 50.78 per cent.

The match initially looked like living up to its ‘mock-buster’ status as the battle of the last two remaining winless teams.

Oak Park exploded out of the blocks with the first four goals unanswered in quick succession.

But Pascoe Vale answered just as swiftly, kicking seven of the next eight goals to lead by 10 points at the end of a high-scoring first term.

And nothing was left to chance in the second term as the Panthers piled on nine goals to three to open a 46-point advantage at half-time.

Dean Tydell was the spearhead for Pascoe Vale with seven goals, while Lech Featherstone was best afield with his four-goal display.

Other better Pascoe Vale players were Robbie Mullen and Matt Perri, while Oak Park’s best were five-goal Jack Kennedy, five-goal Michael Hooper and Brenden Keast.

Pascoe Vale had been competitive in a number of its six defeats to start the campaign, but coach Stephen Paxman knew that denying Oak Park the four points was vital for his team’s approach to the middle phase of the season. “We’ve been improving over the last couple of weeks and to get a win was a good result.

“When both teams haven’t won

EDFL PREMIER AROUND THE GROUNDS

a game it’s always going to be an interesting scenario, they jumped us with the first four goals which was a shock but we went to work on our style of game which is all about being competitive. We take each game as it comes and we want a style that works for us, against the likes of Aberfeldie and Strathmore you need to take the positives from those losses.”

Paxman said the leaders in the playing group had played an important part of keeping morale high. “It would have been nice to win one or two of our opening games but if you look at our list we had nine new players from the year before, it’s always going to be difficult to accommodate that.”

Relegation looms as Craigieburn goes down by 127 record but blew the chance to roll Glenroy after giving up a 15-point final-quarter lead.

Glenroy’s Rodney Carruthers kicked a goal with seconds remaining to secure a 17.8 (110) to Tullamarine 16.14 (110) draw.

Justin Marcy booted four goals for the Demons while Jack Burns and Drew Hynninen were other better players. Glenroy’s Carruthers booted five goals while Travis Dulic and Adam Dennis were standouts.

At Taylors Lakes, Hadfield came up one point short as the Lions won 10.17 (77) to 11.10 (76).

The result puts a three-game buffer between the fourth-placed Lions (5-2) and fifth-placed Hawks (2-5), dividing the league, for now, into a battle for finals seeding between the top four and battle against the drop for the bottom four.

In division 2, Moonee Valley kept its winning streak intact with a 12.13 (85) to 10.5 (65) win against Roxburgh Park.

The seven-and-zero Valley was best served by Bevan Newell’s four goals, Samuel O’Brien and Ned Wilson.

Elsewhere, Hillside 20.19 (139) beat Jacana 7.12 (54), Keilor Park 15.7 (97) lost to Coburg Districts 17.9 (111) and East Keilor 41.17 (263) beat East Sunbury 2.5 (17).

CRAIGIEBURN and West Coburg may have started the EDFL division 1 season as the top two ranked teams but now find themselves battling each other against relegation after a shocking weekend.

Premiership contenders Glenroy and Tullamarine couldn’t be separated as a late Glenroy goal secured a draw at Sewell Reserve.

For the second year running Craigieburn’s focus will be on a relegation battle after a 127-point hiding at the hands of Northern Saints, while West Coburg’s hopes of a third straight grand final are fading fast after a 39-point loss to Westmeadows.

The duo are one-and-six at the foot of the table, with West Coburg’s percentage of 79.34 keeping it out of last place at Craigieburn’s (56.83) expense.

Westmeadows has transformed from a team cast adrift in last place after the first four rounds with a percentage of 41, to a two-and-five team thanks to its 24.10 (154) to 17.13 (115) win against the Burgers.

Daniel Callegari and Francis Keenan kicked four goals each while Tim Okines, Daniel Willcocks and Kiefer Jenkins were better players.

At Craigieburn, visiting Northern Saints showed no mercy as it blew open the game after quarter-time, turning a four-point lead into 50 by the long break on the way to winning 29.23 (197) to 10.10 (70).

Ali Abou-Eid kicked seven goals and Daheg Abdul-Wahed five, while Zak Saad and four-goal Fort Caruso also dominated.

At Sewell Reserve, visiting Tullamarine preserved its unbeaten

Essendon Doutta Stars 22.12 (144) d Avondale Heights 13.13 (91) Avondale Heights missed the chance to go a game clear in the top four as the Stars did a favour for not just themselves but all the teams in the chasing pack. The Heights led by a point at half-time but Douttas had another gear after the long break, piling on eight final-quarter goals to three.

Patrick Lobb kicked seven goals and Fabian Brancatisano four, while Jordan Angus and Connor Thompson were leading players.

Patrick Rose kicked four goals for Avondale Heights while Phil Smith was best.

Greenvale 15.10 (100) d Airport West 8.17 (65) Airport West’s giant-killing run to start the season would not extend to the reigning premier as Greenvale led start to finish with am arm’s-length margin.

Seven first-quarter goals to two put the Jets in control, with Airport West’s inaccurate day in front of goal not helping any attempt at a comeback.

Ben Clifton and Joe Gazzo kicked three goals each while Matt Smith, Travis Jorgensen and Daniel Campisano were better players. Airport West’s playing coach Adam Contessa was named best for the Eagles.

Strathmore 11.6 (72) lt Aberfeldie 20.17 (137) Abefeldie flexed its muscle by seeing off a second-quarter Strathmore comeback to kick away in the second half.

The Two Blues were up by 37 points at the first change but Strathmore closed the gap to 12 at half-time. Aberfeldie’s Ryan Allan and Courtney Johns booted four goals each while Daniel Connors and Josh Toy were other better players as the Two Blues pulled away after half-time.

Andrew Horne kicked three goals for Strathmore.

Maribyrnong Park 12.12 (84) d Keilor 10.14 (74) Maribyrnong Park upstaged Keilor by 10 points to stay within a game of fourth spot and knock the Blues down to eighth on the table.

The Lions trailed by three points at the last change but lifted with five goals to three, winning 12.12 (84) to 10.14 (74).

Jack Anthony kicked three goals for Maribyrnong Park.

David Gourdis and Dylan Joyce were best for the Blues.
