lubs and anti-doping agencies have led people into hysteria and they have stopped listening to the facts or understanding what these treatments do for athletes’ health.

Whether growth hormones, peptides, testosterone or anabolic steroids are involved in the drugs scandal is not yet clear and the Australian Crime Commission, clubs and police have not produced hard facts. So before we go on a witchhunt, I would like to see blood testing that emphatically shows “player X” had “this substance” in their system on “this date”. That would be a more justifiable starting point for an investigation instead of the claims we saw in the media blitz.

There is a lot of hot air out there.

The question is how big will the balloon get before the truth bursts out? The fact is that peptides and growth hormone are not significantly beneficial in sport unless used in massive doses. Both benefit the player’s recovery and provide long-term hormone support.

All athletes represent years of work and money invested by many people, and returning them to the field too soon after injury, with a quick stab of anaesthetic to numb the pain, will result in injury or much worse.

We need to look after these sportsmen and women, and you heal at twice the rate if you have hormone levels elevated during that injury period. Stop worrying if there is a very slight, if any, sportsenhancing element – fix these guys and girls so they can play healthier and for longer.

Peptides will certainly play a bigger role in the future of all medicine and we have not even started to discover what they are capable of.

Faster recovery of muscles and tendons is just one benefit of peptides.

My view is that a player who is deficient in their hormonal support needs to be boosted. And if

everybody is using these treatments in a professional manner, being monitored and regulated, then it is a level and much healthier playing field.

I suggest a highly regulated system where every instance of these treatments is recorded to the club, the league, ASADA and an independent objective body not involved in the hysteria.

Start the season with a win.

DARREN JAMES

Sad end of an era for Romeo’s

BY EDDIE MORTON emorton@mmpgroup.com.au

THE community of Toorak have been saddened by the sudden death of restaurant owner Jimmy Tannous.

Mr Tannous, aged 60, died suddenly on February 16 from a suspected heart attack.

Jimmy’s cousin and long-time business partner at Romeo’s, George Tannous, said there had been no warning signs and the family was in shock after hearing the news.

“He was the rock of the family. He was ‘The Man’ and I was his second lieutenant,” George Tannous said.

“Jimmy loved Romeo’s and the Village, and the community loved him.”

Derryn Hinch, a 30-year friend of the Lebanon-born restaurateur, said Toorak will never see another person like Jimmy Tanous.

“We were just a pair of young fellas when we first met. We even made up a secret handshake,” Mr Hinch said, laughing.

He saw Mr Tannous for the last

time on Friday February 15 and only heard about his death through Twitter on Monday morning before shooting for Sunrise.

Mr Hinch was best man at the wedding of one of the restaurant’s waitresses, and hosted the event at his farm. When Mr Hinch went broke, Mr Tannous gave him a place to stay.

“Jimmy would shake his head sometimes at some of the things I would get up to on the Hinch show,’’ Mr Hinch said.

“There were times when the odd

smart arse would have a go at me and Jimmy was always there.

“When I was sick last year I was told I was going to die within a year.

Two guys I was sure would be at my funeral were my former producer at 3AW Paul Barber and Jimmy.

“Both now have passed away and I am still coming to terms with that,” Mr Hinch said.

Romeo’s restaurant has been running for more than three decades and is one of the few venues in Toorak Village to own the free hold on the property.

For the eighth year in a row, Lana McClean will ship months of hard work to Sydney for the Archibald Prize. The 60-year-old Prahran artist has painted Federation Square architect Peter Davidson, who ceased practising as an architect after a stroke in 2010 and switched to drawing with his left hand. The painting, Peter Davidson: My Space, is one of McLean’s ‘‘most inspiring pieces’’. “Each painting has been very exciting and this one was very emotional for me.’’ McLean would like to see art made compulsory in primary and high schools. “Art is very much the study of the artist’s soul and who the individual is,” she said.

Archibald Prize finalists will be announced on March 14 and winners revealed on March 22 at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Council last week adopted a report from an independent panel established by state Planning Minister Matthew Guy with changes to height, density and site coverage.

Council has proposed maximum building heights of 17 metres (six storeys), density of 250 dwellings and a total of 50 per cent site coverage.

“I ask that the minister listen and act to represent my community’s views,” Mr Newton-Brown said in a speech to parliament last Thursday.

VOX POP WOULD 15-MINUTE LIMITS ON PARKING AROUND SCHOOLS IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW AND SAFETY? THOMAS STEPHENSON, 20, St Kilda East More people parking for shorter durations may create a lot more traffic and delays because of drivers constantly trying to pull out.

ADAM ATHORNE, 28, Armadale Parents dropping off their children park only briefly as it is. There’s a safety issue with cars constantly pulling in and out, but I don’t think a time limit would really change anything.

BRONTE MCCALLUM, 18, Prahran I don’t think it would really have an effect on the traffic. However, it may make it safer because children often run across the street when their parents are picking them up quickly.

School car parking a fine mess emorton@mmpgroup.com.au

G5343489AK-a13Feb©FCNVIC

MORE than 190 infringement notices were issued across four school neighbourhoods during a Stonnington council blitz on parking offences near school crossings.

Council officers revealed the figure at last week’s council meeting, sparking a call to limit parking to 15 minutes at all school crossings across Stonnington during pick-up and drop-off times.

More than 150 notices were issued at St Catherine’s School in Toorak during 27 patrols in the first term of 2012.

The area around Lloyd Street Primary in Malvern East recorded 23 notices during more than 60 patrols.

The council report said several repeat offenders around St Catherine’s ‘‘stopped offending once they realised that enforcement was more intense”.

The school’s director of business, Geraldine Ilott, said St Catherine’s was aware of the parking issues.

‘‘The school has a supervised pedestrian crossing during peak times and there are also restrictions to parking,’’ Ms Ilott said.

Lloyd Street principal Nerida Smith welcomed the council’s move to limit parking in the streets around schools and said neighbours had raised concerns and reported incidents of illegal parking.

She said parents parking across driveways and outside designated parking spaces had been an issue for the school, which has 530 students.

“We currently have two-minute parking zones around the school, which are not always observed,” she said. “It has always been problematic because the school is in a residential pocket and more and more parents are choosing to drive.”

Lloyd Street Primary has introduced programs to stagger arrival times, installed a 100-bicycle parking bay and put staff members on patrol after school.

Ms Smith said a shortage of crossing guards had also been a concern for the school.

THE federal government has launched a 130-page website to help people seeking information about pregnancy and babies.

The website, found at pregnancybirthbaby.org.au, provides advice about topics including maternal nutrition, breast-feeding and sleeping habits of babies.

It includes news about health alerts, how to care for babies in hot weather and contact numbers for further resources.

Healthdirect Australia chief executive Colin Seery said recent trends showed new mothers were increasingly using the internet to research health and wellbeing.

Stonnington council’s Maternal and Child Health coordinator Christine Cooper also noted a rise in the number of parents seeking online advice.

Last year, 1058 babies were born to Stonnington families.

GREEN TIPS The abundance of vibrant vegetables in Claire Mielke’s (pictured) backyard would suggest the budding gardener needs no help when it comes to cultivating her crops. But the Malvern resident is eager to hone her horticultural skills by attending Stonnington council’s 2013 Environmental Events, kicking off on March 7 with an Autumn in Your Patch workshop at Malvern Town Hall. After picking up tips at last year’s workshops, Ms Mielke says: ‘‘I am keen to learn more about crop rotation to find out which vegetables I should grow in which beds in autumn based on what I grew in summer.’’ With her beds blossoming with tomatoes, cucumbers, chillies and rhubarb this season, Ms Mielke says her secret is using worm castings to fertilise the soil, and a self-watering system.

Justice slipping out of reach: mayor

BY LISA HIGGINSON lhigginson@mmpgroup.com.au

FEE increases proposed by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal could put the justice system beyond the reach of Stonnington residents, according to mayor Matthew Koce.

Stonnington council has made a submission to the state’s Department of Justice in response to

VCAT’s proposed fee structure, which would raise some fees from $38 to $1007 by 2015 in an effort to recoup $22 million a year.

The council’s planning department attended at 132 VCAT hearings in 2012.

Cr Koce expressed concerns that several of the fee hikes were out of step with VCAT’s key objectives. ‘‘Cost-effective dispute resolution is, and must remain, a fundamental

QUOTABLE COST-EFFECTIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION ... MUST REMAIN A FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVE OF VCAT ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

objective of VCAT because VCAT was established to provide affordable and fair access to justice for the whole Victorian community,’’ he said. ‘‘Fee increases for objector

appeals and mediation will be particularly hard on ordinary residents who, unlike property developers, are unable to claim the cost of fees as a tax deduction or business expense.’’

Cr Koce said he also feared the proposal to introduce mediation fees – to be set at a level equivalent to 45 per cent of the estimated cost – could dissuade parties from using the option of resolving

matters without a hearing.

The council did not object to fee hikes for major cases, large-scale developments and enforcement orders relating to breaches of the Planning Scheme.

Fee increases for some permit applicants, Mr Koce said, were relevant to the cost of a larger development.

The tribunal’s current fee structure is due to expire by June 17.

MALVERN A man was interviewed last week and will be charged on summons with various driving offences following a collision at Toorak Road, Malvern, in December. The driver, aged in his 50s, allegedly fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a pole, resulting in significant injuries. The driver was found to be more than five times over the legal alcohol limit at the time of the collision. Police say the man is lucky to be alive and it is sheer luck that he did not kill or badly injure another road user.

Fee-free parties a two-way street lhigginson@mmpgroup.com.au

STONNINGTON council has scrapped its street party price tag to encourage neighbours to become good friends .

The $50 fee has been waived until the end of the year in the hope that more neighbourly get-togethers will reinvigorate community spirit and make neighbourhoods safer.

Last year, 48 parties took place in Stonnington’s streets through the council’s Greet the Street program.

Most events were during the festive season.

Only one application has been received this year, but Stonnington Mayor Matthew Koce hopes suspending the fee will encourage more to be scheduled. ‘‘Not only are street parties lots of fun, but knowing your neighbours helps build

community spirit and makes us feel safer in our homes,’’ he said.

Malvern resident Norma Flowerday has organised a get-together with Ardrie Park Area Neighbourhood Watch. ‘‘I used to arrange great parties in Ardrie Road about 15 years ago and people from all around would get involved,’’ she said. ‘‘There hasn’t been one for a long time and I think the idea has got a bit lost nowadays. ‘‘Waiving the permit fee is a great incentive to get more people organising them.’’

Ms Flowerday said the April 27 party in Ardrie Road was an opportunity for residents to get to know their neighbours, and it could become an annual event.

Party organisers should apply to council at least three weeks before the event.

Beach goers to pay for parking

use our fabulous beaches but they must help us pay to maintain them.’’

Cr Michael Heffernan said visitors to Bayside had been ‘‘freeloading for too long’’. ‘‘I think the community will be very happy with this one, especially as many are already blighted by the parking problems that visitors to our beaches create,’’ he said.

Cr James Long said he was openminded about the proposal but didn’t want Bayside to be ‘‘moneygrabbing’’. ‘‘We talk about supporting tourism and we want repeat visitors,’’ he said. ‘‘They’ll just park somewhere else and shift the problem elsewhere.’’

Cr del Porto said locals would be exempt from beach parking fees if the system was implemented. Council officers will consult the community and prepare a report for councillors.

VISITORS to Bayside beaches may have to pay to park on Beach Road from next summer to reduce the rates burden on locals.

Councillors last week backed councillor Alex del Porto’s motion to expand paid off-street parking to both sides of Beach Road near popular beaches. The aim was to generate income and reduce the council’s reliance on rates. ‘‘Instead of raising rates each year, the intention is to generate more income this way, as neighbouring Port Phillip does,’’ he said. ‘‘Council spends around $2 million a year maintaining our foreshore, costs that are over and above those needed to service just Bayside residents. ‘‘Non-Baysiders are welcome to

BOX UP FOR BIDS The rare gem of a Brighton beach box is still on the market after its auction was cancelled and a prior offer failed to stack up. The February 17 auction of No. 72 box at Dendy Street Beach, advertised for $150,000-plus, was cancelled after agent Nick Johnstone received an offer of $176,000. But the vendor declined, wanting at least $190,000. ‘‘I sold one next door for $205,000, so it’s worth at least $190,000,’’ Mr Johnstone said. The highest price for a Brighton beach box was $260,000 for a new one built by Bayside council in 2011. Brighton Beach has 85 beach boxes. The highest price for a beach box in Victoria was $585,000 at Portsea two years ago.

Bicycle lanes for Collingwood

BY ALANA SCHETZER aschetzer@mmpgroup.com.au

COPENHAGEN-STYLE bicycle lanes will be introduced to Collingwood in a bid to increase safety and encourage more people to start cycling.

Wellington Street, between Victoria Parade and Johnston Street, will become the first road in Yarra to have the paths, which separate cyclists from traffic via a row of parking or traffic islands.

Yarra council endorsed the proposal last Tuesday following lengthy consultation with traders, residents and cycling groups.

As part of the project, 117 car spaces will be removed and council officers will start working on a design plan.

Bicycle Network Victoria spokesman Garry Brennan said the council

was ‘‘leading the way’’ in responding to Melbourne’s growing shift from cars to bikes. ‘‘These new lanes will lessen conflict with motor traffic and reduce the risk of dooring crashes in particular.’’

Yarra mayor Jackie Fristacky said the lanes should provide ‘‘worldclass infrastructure’’ for the increasing numbers of cyclists and would encourage more people to hop on their bikes. ‘‘Cyclist numbers on Wellington Street have been growing about 20 per cent a year for the past eight years, with counts showing 416 citybound cyclists ride the Johnston Street to Victoria Parade section in the two-hour morning peak period,’’ she said.

The majority of the 649 public submissions on the issue supported Copenhagen-style bicycle lanes.

Patrol takes on the trash

PATROL: Graham Chappell and Guy Boston are ready for Clean Up Australia Day

G5696018AA-a30Jan©FCNVIC

The 3206 Beach Patrol community group will be out in force on Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday, March 3 as the group continues to spearhead the Port Phillip beach beautifying campaign. The group started in 2009 and has attracted more than 100 local members – all striving to make Albert Park and Middle Park beaches cleaner and safer. On the back of the group’s success, Port Melbourne’s 3207 Beach Patrol started in 2010 and St Kilda’s 3182 Beach Patrol launched last week.

Founder Guy Boston encourages new members to get involved this weekend, with the clean-up kicking off at 9.30am at Armstrong Street beach. Details: visit 3206beachpatrol.com.au

STONNINGTON REVIEW LOCAL 9

CHRIS HOPKINS

LOCAL FEATURE

Citizen Sylvia EDDIE MORTON pays tribute to one of Prahran’s favourite characters

I

first met Sylvia Fahey on August 20 last year. I guess it was lucky I was joined by one of our trusty photographers that day because first impressions were definitely the 88-year-old’s specialty.

“Who are you?” Sylvia said at me rather than to me.

“Uh, I, I, I’m Eddie. I have come here to interview you for the local paper.This is Chris. He’ll be taking your photo.”

We were standing on the corner of Bangs and High streets in Prahran in Sylvia’s famed milk bar, which she ran for more than 40 years single-handed.

In one corner sat four slabs of Dr Pepper, on the wall was a portrait of her father in his soldier’s uniform and a few old soft drink posters, and the shelves were filled with photo frames and newspaper clippings. A table and two wellworn chairs looked directly out to High Street.

Sylvia had just been announced

as the City of Stonnington’s community Citizen of the Year – an accolade she said was a bit of a shock, considering her battles with the council.

“What has happened to Prahran?” was Sylvia’s next remark.

“I’m not sure, is there something bothering you in particular, Sylvia?”

Sylvia, a former Miss Prahran, served the Prahran community for more than 70 years and became the area’s most iconic and adored character.

She started hosting dances as fund-raisers for Australian prisonersof-war in 1944, charging a shilling a person. In more recent times she fought for fair parking and the survival of the Prahran RSL, where her father was a founding member.

A relentless campaigner in local politics, Sylvia helped put councillors into the town hall, politicians into local office and mayors into power, but only if they were ‘‘Prahran-community-minded’’.

FEBRUARY 27, 2013

“Prahran is a poor reflection of what it once was, young man,” she said the day we first met as she gazed out that large window.“The beauty of Prahran is being lost to cement block apartment buildings, drunken violence, and a general lack of interest from the people who live here.”

Sylvia had hoped that Prahran could return to its glory days with just a bit of old-fashioned elbow grease, a fresh coat of paint and some TLC from the traders and the council.

Little did I know that this first meeting would trigger hours, even days’ worth, of conversations that would never run dry and which were always hard to walk away from. For the next six months, I would drop in to see Sylvia every Monday, or Wednesday morning, depending on the traffic.

If I was in on Monday she would say I was early, and if I was in on Wednesday I was terribly late.

We would talk about everything from suspicious neighbours and troublesome teenagers to greedy developers, bad and sometimes good local councillors, girlfriend issues and family memories. But my favourite topic of conversation was always when Sylvia would speak of her younger days in Prahran.

She remembered everything from the colour of her dress at one of the many dinner dances at the old Prahran Club to the colour of the flowers she bought one morning 30 years ago at the Prahran Market.

Sylvia was as sharp as a tack and a strong woman with a fighting spirit, never showing a hint of weakness.

She had a tremendous sense of responsibility and made everyone feel like their voice was heard.

When I last saw Sylvia, not two weeks ago, she said she wasn’t feeling at the top of her game.

She was sitting in her chair in her usual green windcheater, a scarf, black trackies and her slippers, but

she didn’t stand up to offer me a glass of water. For the first time in years, Sylvia’s milk bar was forced to shorten its operating hours.

Sylvia was born on May 19, 1924, and died on the morning of February 15, 2013, after a long battle with cancer.

Her life was distinguished by the number of people she affected, many of whom will never know how or why. She had a heart of gold and gave a mile but never expected an inch in return.

My friendship with Sylvia was very short, but it was very rich.

I consider myself one of the lucky few to have sat with her, heard her stories and watched the world walk by that milk bar window on so many mornings.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ VALE SYLVIA FAHEY Sylvia Fahey was a very wonderful woman and someone I was honoured to call my friend (‘‘Vale Sylvia Fahey, Prahran says goodbye to a legend’’, stonningtonreview local.com.au, February 15).

I met her some 20 years ago regarding an insurance claim and stayed in touch with her thereafter.

A cup of tea, a chat and some sage advice was always on offer.

I shall miss her.

James Pulling / via website ■ SAFETY OUT THE WINDOW We all owe a great deal to those who lobby on behalf of cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians put at risk by window tinting (‘‘Tinting drives safety fears’’, RL, February 20).

Thank you to all these people and to Stonnington resident and cyclist Boyd Fraser, who works tirelessly and without pay to help protect cyclists and has already played a major role in bringing this issue to the attention of law makers.

We can only hope that very soon governments see the sense of changing the law to protect all members of society.

Stella Barber / via website

■ OFF THE RAILS South Yarra station requires a major overhaul (‘‘South Yarra squeeze ‘dangerous’,’’ RL, February 20).

Despite its good ‘‘bones’’, it’s dirty, overworked and under-loved.

You only have to look around and see the number of high-rise residential towers to see the population of Stonnington has exploded.

Expecting a handful of myki readers to cope with six platforms of patrons is just ludicrous.

Expecting the government to do diddly squat about it, also ridiculous.

Anna / via email ■ CROSS ROADS The horror intersection of Burke and Malvern roads, Glen Iris, is notorious enough to be enshrined

in song by Greg Champion (‘‘Don’t you ever turn right at Burke Road, Malvern/cos you’ll be there all day’’).

It is the oldest enduring top-10 traffic blight in the RACV’s annual survey of frustrated motorists.

Instead of doing something helpful, the powers-that-be have restricted the left lane of Malvern Road, travelling away from the city, to being left-turn only.

You can’t see the arrows painted on the road if a car is ahead of you, so the only warning is a small white sign 4.5 metres up a pole above the bus shelter. Unless you’re looking for kites as you approach, you won’t see the sign and you will be forced to turn left and go over the railway line and halfway to Albury before you can get back.

Meanwhile, the right lane of Malvern Road must cope with traffic going straight ahead and turning right plus trams turning left into Burke Road.

Time to get serious about that overpass.

T

he question of what attracts one person to another has been around forever, and the answers are many and complex.

The whole subject makes a rich source of inspiration for dance theatre company KAGE’s latest

work, Flesh and Bone. The dance, a wordless study of relationships and couples, explores traditional gender roles in modern society.

It brings KAGE’s founders, Gerard Van Dyck and Kate Denborough (pictured), together on stage for the

Temporary carers needed!

first time in eight years.The pair met while studying dance at the Victorian College of the Arts in 1992 and they formed KAGE in 1997.

They appeared together in earlier works but until recently Denborough has focused on directing. She says their desire to return to the stage together inspired Flesh and Bone. ‘‘We felt that the timing was right to re-unite as performers and remind ourselves why we started KAGE all those years ago,’’ says Denborough. ‘‘We wanted to make a work which would relate to a journey between two people. We have always been interested in gender equality and in all of our work have sought to find a balance of physical strength between the sexes.’’

Although much of Flesh and Bone is based on their own experiences and thoughts, Denborough and Van Dyck sought input from a group of young people, led by feminist writer Clementine Ford, in what they describe as a ‘‘reverse mentorship’’. ‘‘It has been a fantastic experience for us to get feedback

from a group of highly intelligent and articulate young people,’’ says Denborough. ‘‘It has been reassuring for Gerard and I to invite this group into our rehearsal process and for them to generously critique and advise us about scenes and images in the work which they relate to – or not!’’

Flesh and Bone is presented as part of L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. Denborough and Van Dyck collaborated with Melbourne fashion designer Lisa Gorman, who is also an ambassador for the dance company. ‘‘We specifically wanted the costumes for the work to have a fashion/urban style,’’ Denborough says.

Audience members who want to know more about Ford’s reverse mentorship can join a Q&A session after the performance on March 14.

Flesh and Bone is also part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival and is collaborating with restaurant Cumulus Inc for a gala dinner on March 9.

Big Brother 2012 winner, Benjamin Norris, is on record calling runner up, Estelle Landy, “one of the most annoying people” he has ever met.

They seemed to be getting along fine last Thursday. (For the record, I think she’s lovely).

Some of you readers might think I have an obsession with people on mobiles. Fact is, every second person at every event has one in his or her hand. Here’s Johnno Field and Emma Bruer.

JUST MARRIED CATHERINE WALL and STEPHEN RAVENSCROFT

R

omance and joy were in the air for the February 9 wedding of Catherine Wall and Stephen Ravenscroft. For Catherine, the most memorable moment of the day was when the couple said their vows to each other in the beautiful gardens of The Gables, in Malvern East, where they also hosted their reception.

“Stephen and I loved The Gables from the minute we walked in,” Catherine says.

“The tree-lined street sets the perfect scene for the beautiful old house. It has an old-world elegance and formality without being stuffy and we loved that a lot of the features of the house, including the leadlight windows and architraves, were originals.”

The couple say their photographer, Simon James, was “very personable and took fantastic pics that we will treasure for a lifetime”.

In good Nick: runs flow for True Blues teenager

BY EWEN McRAE emcrae@mmpgroup.com.au HE’S the youngest member of one of the strongest teams in Victoria, but Nick Morrey is more than holding his own against the state’s best cricketers.

Morrey, 19, has churned out backto-back 50s for Prahran First XI, batting in the crucial number three position against quality opposition. ‘‘It’s a good challenge,’’ Morrey says. ‘‘I think it’s the best spot to bat. ‘‘You face the new ball and the best bowlers but it certainly makes it more rewarding if you can get through it and do well.’’

The left-hander’s had to bide his time since crossing from Ashwood three years ago, scoring more than 1000 runs in the lower grades before getting his chance in the ones in mid-December. ‘‘I’ve had to work hard for it, they haven’t just given me a token game so I’ve come in as ready as I could be, I think,’’ Morrey says.

And it’s showing, with Morrey sharing a 54- run partnership with captain Sam Coates in just his third game in the ones — the True Blues’ loss to Melbourne in the one-day final — before scores of 52 against Carlton and 72 against Melbourne. ‘‘To play just my third game in premier ones against the best team in the comp at the Albert Ground was a real thrill,’’ he says.

Despite his cool demeanour at the crease, Morrey admits he sometimes has to pinch himself when he looks at the players around him. ‘‘It is a little nerve-wracking when you realise you’re playing guys whose names you see in the paper,’’ he says. ‘‘But the guys have been great, they haven’t made it hard for me at all.’’

Morrey credits teammate Steven De Bolfo with mentoring him since arriving at the club and preparing him for the rigours of first XI cricket. ‘‘He took me under his wing,’’ he

says. ‘‘He does all the right things with training and I’ve tried to model myself on the way he bats. ‘‘I’ve tried to do everything he’s done pretty much since day one, so he’s been a huge influence on me.

Then my dad and Walto [coach Andrew Walton] have been the other two big influences.’’

While he’s still in the early days of a promising career, Morrey has high hopes for a long and successful innings at Prahran. ‘‘My aim’s always been to play first XI at Prahran, so I just want to settle in there and make that spot my own,’’ he says. ‘‘Whatever comes from that will be great, but if I played 20 years at Prahran I’d be happy.’’ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Demons’ run chase falls just short ARI HATZIS

BY DANIEL PAPROTH MELBOURNE couldn’t quite reach the massive total set by Prahran but still held on to top position on the Premier Cricket ladder on Saturday.

The clash between the two top sides – which could yet prove to be a preview of the grand final – lived up to its billing.

Resuming on 7/319 on day two, Prahran added 26 in quick fashion before declaring with nine wickets down to set Melbourne a target of 346.

Prahran’s Stephen Seymour began the day on 83 but was brilliantly caught by Demons wicketkeeper Ash Middlin for 98.

Melbourne got off to a solid start with openers Matt Begbie and Ben Way putting on 40 before Way was caught for 29.

Bushranger Alex Keath made 42 and Begbie was finally out for 56 off 151 balls with the score at 3/161.

Prahran never seemed in any real danger of losing but as the day wore on the Demons picked up the pace.

Matthew Brown was calm and composed, bringing up a halfcentury with a cracking pull for four, before lofting to mid-off for 52.

But it was Brenton McDonald who electrified the innings with a knock of 90 not out from 69 balls in a stand of stand of 72 with Rob Cooper (7 off 28).

At one point McDonald missed a slog off Seymour’s bowling; heated words were exchanged and McDonald then hooked the next ball for six.

True Blues captain Sam Coates said he was satisfied.

“It would’ve been nice to win but to declare against Melbourne and be in an arm wrestle and control the game most of the day was very

TAKE THAT: Melbourne’s Mat Begbie smashes the ball back past the bowler in his innings of 56 pleasing,” he said. ‘‘We just needed to get wickets.”

Demons counterpart Kent said his side simply fell short.

“They made a great score. We batted well but just didn’t get there in the end ... we didn’t want to get bowled out and towards the end of the day we got a hold of them but just ended up not quite getting there.”

This weekend is day one of the final two-day matches, Prahran away to Hawthorn-Monash University and Melbourne home to Frankston Peninsula.

Fast finish for Gift win WESTERN Australian Cole Unasa is the 2013 Stonnington Gift champion.

And it was deja vu in the women’s gift, with 2012 champion Tara Domaschenz defending her crown in impressive fashion.

Unsa, 23, finished strongly in Friday night’s final at Toorak Park to take the $10,000 winner’s cheque in 10.44 seconds, ahead of Bryce Teo and Ben Weaver.

Teo also finished second last year.

Running off a handicap of 5.75m, Unasa made a good start in the 100-metre final but found himself behind Teo and the rest of the pack at the mid-point. But the big-striding Samoan reeled in the leaders before flying past them to claim the biggest win of his career.

Unasa said he knew he had the race in the bag through the middle of the race, then overcome some late cramping to seize victory.

“After the heats and the semis you always cramp up a little bit but you’ve just got to ignore it,” he said.

In the women’s race, despite starting from two metres further back than she did last year, Domaschenz, 21, f lew through the middle part of the race to finish in 11.58 seconds.

Melissa Howard was second in 11.75 seconds, while Pamela Austin was third with 11.90s.

“It’s the best thing yet though to win it back to back. I don’t think there are many females who that would have done that at any gift so I’m really happy,” she said.

Domaschenz pockets $10,000 for the win.

“I haven’t even spent all of last years money,’ she said.
