This time last year, Melbourne was still deep in COVID restrictions. It’s true. I had to really think about it when it was pointed out to me that the AFL grand final wasn’t played here last year, but in Perth. It all flooded back – my friends in the west crammed in to watch the game in person, while we couldn’t even have a mate over to watch at home. But wow, is this year gonna be different.

The grand final returns to the MCG, and those who will be involved on the day are nearly beside themselves with excitement. We found out what goes into organising that one day in September – finally back at the ’G. ●

really delve into some beautiful filmic styles,” Balbuziente says.

“I mean, I love that movie adaptation but we’re obviously working in a different medium, so we’ve created our own aesthetic.”

Given the bad rap foxes get in Australia – they’re an invasive species, after all, and many Victorian farmers might feel more sympathy for Boggis, Bunce and Bean – was there any wariness about producing a play with a pest as the hero?

“We do mention, in a very tongue-in-cheek way, that the whole story comes about because the fox family were stealing from the farmers. So we’re not, you know, condoning stealing,” Balbuziente says.

“But I think it’s nice to have what some refer to as a pest as the hero of the story, as a sort of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ message.”

What is more important, he says, is the way the animal community comes together to deal with disaster – something that might particularly resonate with youngsters in the COVID era. But he’s also aware that part of the enduring appeal of Roald Dahl is the thread of wickedness and wrongness that runs through his works.

“I remember reading ... the Roald Dahl collection as a kid and they were so grotesque and naughty that you almost felt naughty yourself just for reading them,” he says. “He had such an amazing way of telling stories through the lens of a child.

His depiction of some of those not-so-nice humans

oxes are famed for their cunning, but even Fantastic Mr Fox struggled to steal his way into Melbourne theatres in the middle of a pandemic. Now, after a two-year sabbatical and a few false starts, shake & stir theatre co’s acclaimed adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic is finally coming to the Arts Centre.

Artistic director Ross Balbuziente says he’s been working the cast hard to get ready for what can be a very demanding production – particularly if you only have two legs. “The cast are running and jumping and leaping and burrowing throughout

the whole piece,” he says. “So every time we come back to rehearse the show, it’s sort of like fitness bootcamp. But this is one of my favourite productions that we’ve created ... so it’s also like slipping on a favourite pair of jeans.”

The show makes clever use of back projection to conjure up a dramatic landscape in which the three villainous farmers (Boggis, Bunce and Bean) use mechanical diggers to trash the fox family’s home and hill in pursuit of their vulpine prey. This clever tech allows the play to compete with the cinematic flair of the much-loved Wes Anderson film.

“Our play is epic in its scale and some of the key sequences like the excavation scene allow us to

really resonates when you’re a kid, but perhaps has a different message when you’re an adult.”

Balbuziente and shake & stir theatre co aren’t done with Dahl yet. Their newest adaptation, The Twits, has already debuted interstate to glowing reviews and another title is in development. For now, the artistic director hopes families will flock to the Arts Centre for some foxy holiday fun.

“Lots of shows claim to be fun for the whole family, but it doesn’t stick. I can, hand on heart, say that Fox really is for the entire family.” ● FANTASTIC MR FOX \ Playhouse, Arts Centre, September 20-24

COVER STORY

After two years away, the AFL grand final is back home at the MCG.

Leaps & bounds

N

obody is busier on AFL grand final week than Mike Brady, whose iconic football tune Up There Cazaly has been the soundtrack to September for decades.

The 74-year-old veteran Melbourne performer first sang the song at the 1979 grand final with co-writer and Two-Man Band collaborator Peter Sullivan and has belted it out to cheering fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground each year since.

“To me, performing on grand final day is a ritual that I love. I’m really lucky and I’ve had a fantastic run,” Brady says. “The song is that old now, it’s spanned nearly three generations, the little ones know it, too.”

But in 2020 and 2021, he performed in an eerily empty MCG on the final day of the season, as Melburnians stayed home to watch the game played elsewhere – the first year in Brisbane, the next in Perth.

“I’m excited about this year. It’s like coming home, having the crowd there – 100,000 people,” Brady says.

Yes, footy finals are back in town and the biggest day on the sporting calendar is returning to its rightful home – the MCG. With COVID-19 forcing the AFL grand final interstate for the past two years, everyone from the ground staff and caterers to players and officials

DOM A IN REV IEW

(and, of course, the fans) are counting down the days until the premiership decider – finally back at the ’G – on Saturday, September 24.

Melbourne Cricket Club chief executive Stuart Fox believes it will be a September to remember.

“Given the finals have been played interstate the last two years, grand final tickets will be the hottest ticket in town. We just can’t wait and I think it will be a very emotional and sentimental day for a lot of people and particularly Victorians given how tough they’ve had it,” he says. “It’ll be a real celebration.”

Preparation of the famous turf started in August.

After Round 23, ground staff did a minor renovation, which featured 12 days of total rest then coring, fertilisation plus grow lights and a whole lot of TLC to ensure the surface is in pristine condition for its biggest day.

“We don’t like a blade of grass out of place. The turf team pride themselves on the ground looking absolutely magnificent,” Fox says.

Vertical lines are mowed into the grass during the home-and-away season but a special touch on grand final day sees a diamond design take shape with the surface on show to the world.

It’s all systems go at the MCG, with meticulous preparation going into everything from logistics and operations to members’ ticketing and food and beverage.

“It’s vital because we’re on show to all of Australia and the world and we want the ’G and the operations to run perfectly for one of the most important days on our schedule,” Fox explains.

“On grand final day we have up to 4000 staff in the venue, so making sure that workforce is well prepared and ready is important given we’ve had this issue around global staffing shortages. It’s been a challenge all year.”

About 11,000 corporate dining meals will be served on the big day while up to 90,000 hungry punters in the stands will tuck into 32,000 serves of hot chips and 21,000 meat pies.

The stadium’s commercial kitchen works overtime with about 40 functions held at the venue during grand final week.

Also ready to work overtime is Brady, who is gearing up for a month of performing the footy anthem inspired by ruckman Roy Cazaly, who played for St Kilda and South Melbourne during the 1910s and ’20s. Brady says he does about 40 gigs through September – up to eight of those gigs on grand final day alone.

“It’s a critical time. I have to be very careful and look after my voice. Lots of rest and honey.

I recently had COVID and a dreadful cough but luckily, I’ve recovered and am ready for a big month.”

Regarded as the best umpire in the game, Matt Stevic has officiated at nine grand finals, including the past seven in a row. He says it’s a huge privilege to be selected, with umpires appointed based on performance throughout the regular season, then the finals.

“When it’s full, a packed MCG is probably the greatest sporting arena in the world. The buzz is absolutely electric,” Stevic says.

All eyes have been on Stevic when he’s had the important job of raising the ball to signal the start of the big game.

“I’ve never skydived but I imagine the nerves are probably similar beforehand because there’s a rush of adrenaline and fear of getting it wrong.”

One of the highlights of the premiership celebrations is the 23 Auskick kids who present the medallions to the winning team.

Harry Austin, 6, from South Morang Auskick Centre hopes he will hang a medal around the neck of Melbourne star Christian Petracca.

“I feel lucky, happy and excited about giving a medal and meeting some of the players,” he says.

Brady says he feels this year’s grand final will be a bigger-than-usual celebration.

“I might even be a bit nervous,” he says. “I’ll be quietly dedicating the performance to everyone who has done it hard over the last couple of years.” ●

Weaving her magic INTERIORS Designer Megan

Park brings her style to the floor.

Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA

M

elbourne fashion designer Megan Park has dipped into her digital print archives to make a debut floor-coverings collection, which sees her swap the runway for the red (and blue and green) carpet.

The collaboration with Epping-based flooring designers Signature Studio has been inspired by her fashion aesthetic, reinterpreted to elegantly fit within the home.

Park, who has a flagship clothing store in Fitzroy, has always loved fusing traditional embroidery and all its intricacies with pops of contemporary colour and patterns in her womenswear collections.

But when it comes to the Megan Park X Signature Studio collection, the embellishments are swapped for rich royal tones of dark green, deep blue-greys and hints of mauve and mint.

The rugs, carpets and carpet tiles embody her love of floral and painterly prints, with a nod to Australian flora with brushstrokes of frangipani and pomegranate in the range as well.

Park says it was only after she wound down her Megan Park Home brand to focus solely on fashion for a few years that she felt the desire to re-enter the homewares space again.

“What began as an accessories and ready-to-wear collection grew to encompass soft home-furnishings

8

DOM A IN REV IEW

by 2004,” says Park, who stopped making homewares five years ago.

“At the time, we were creating fully embroidered quilts, embroidered curtains and cushions, and made cashmere throws too,” she says.

“The demand for soft furnishings was great, and [London department store] Liberty stocked it and many others too. But once we moved back to Australia, I decided to move into retail and focus on the womenswear side of the business, and it’s remained that way ever since.”

Until now. To find the designs she wanted to replicate in rug form, Park spent a few days looking through digital prints with Signature Studio’s textile designer Vesna Malliato to find the ones that resonated most.

Moving into the designer floor coverings space certainly works for Park, who hopes it will give her fashion customers a reason to go on this new journey with her.

It’s not the first time Park has worked in designing textiles for rug companies.

When she left Melbourne for London in 1993, she began working in textile design and agency-led endeavours, which saw her develop embroidered textiles for international brands such as Givenchy and Dries Van Noten.

It was during this period in her career that she was commissioned by The Rug Company in the UK to work on its designer range.

The Rug Company developed collections for some of fashion’s biggest names, including Paul Smith, Marni and Vivienne Westwood.

It was the thrill of seeing her textile prints in a large-scale format that planted the seed that Park would revisit with the idea of making her own rugs ... one day.

“I had thought about collaborating with a rug company early on in my career, but my fashion label and then homewares expansion took over, and I never got around to it,” Park says. “When I was approached to do this with Signature Studio, it made sense and was perfect timing.” ●

FASHION

Generations of style Fashions on the Field celebrates 60 years of trackside trends.

T

he Victoria Racing Club’s Fashions on the Field is moving with the times, updating its competition guidelines to be more inclusive for its 60th anniversary – all thanks to a world that’s demanding change.

In a Flemington first, the prestigious fashion competition has swapped traditional female and male categories for “best dressed” and “best suited”, with everybody welcome to enter.

It’s not quite the year of anything goes when it comes to sartorial guidelines, but the option to enter either category is a modern reboot of what once was – and it’s certainly a sign the heritage racing club is galloping to the beat of a welcomed new drum.

Geelong resident and Fashions on the Field enthusiast Courtney Moore won the competition on Derby Day in 2016 for her chic black and white ensemble.

She looks back on her win with plenty of affection and breathes a sigh of relief as she almost didn’t make it to the track in time that day.

“I was running late to get to Flemington and just made it to the Fashions on the Field entrants’ area.

I got on stage in the last heat for the day and was the last look to come out,” says Courtney, whose twin, Andrea, and two other sisters Bronwyn and Shandell also attend FOTF every year.

Being crowned the winner and also taking out the Longines Elegance Award on the same day was a Flemington first, too.

Courtney designed the 1950s-inspired outfit herself and her milliner mum, Irene Moore, made the winning boater. Irene also sourced the fabric to make her skirt – a scuba mesh material for an hourglass silhouette and fitted torso with a sheer mesh sleeve and collar.

The family has since made it a ritual to attend Derby Day, and are looking forward to attending again this year – with 24 spots booked on a private bus to Flemington in October.

“I have three other sisters who will enter the competition this year, and we keep going back

Ph o t o

because we get a real buzz designing outfits, creating new looks and have Mum work on the millinery,” Courtney says.

Irene – a well-known milliner based on the Bellarine Peninsula – made the top 10 in the Oaks Day Millinery Award Competition in 2019.

“Having four daughters certainly allows me a chance to practise on them,” she says. “They keep me inspired to go bigger, get better or even get smaller in my designs.

“We had no idea what Fashions on the Field was when we first entered in 2016. We got wind of the competition in passing conversation and thought, let’s try this out. The rest is history.”

With the categories now open for all to enter, Irene says it’s all about being original, creative and entering because you want to have some fun. ● MELBOURNE CUP CARNIVAL \ Flemington Racecourse, October 29 to November 5. ● vrc.com.au

The St Ali Italian Film Festival scoops up the best cinema releases that tantalised audiences at the Cannes and Toronto film festivals and presents them for us to view at Palace Cinemas.

From a north versus south culture clash in the opening-night film, Belli Ciao, to a fashion documentary about Italian shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo’s rise to fame in the 1930s, and the closing-night classic, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, it’s time to salute Italy’s best cinema moments in style.

This house deserves a name and a soundtrack. Let’s call it “Le Freak” and imagine funky disco beats at full blast, because if ever a place were poised to have Gen X run their fingers through electric-blue shag-pile and remember how as toddlers a groovy life seemed assured, this is it.

Built in 1976 to a design by Roger V. Daniel and Associates, the three-level, rendered-brick abode is right at home in a pocket renowned for modernist architecture. Houses built from 1930 to 1980 nestle cosily in the Riverside estate, whose slope looks north to the Kinglake ranges.

On a classic quarter-acre (0.1 hectares), the house has a northerly view and a huge, sun-bathed rear garden with a solar-heated pool and barbecue area.

Four communal areas – family, lounge and formal living and dining rooms – form an elegant L around the pool, with full-length windows and sliders.

The current owners, here since 2004, totally dig the decade of origin. Their reverential sense of humour is responsible for the tangerine front doors, the lime-green wardrobes and the cocktail lounge’s op-art mural in orange, tan and brown, hand-made by bespoke order.

They’ve preserved vintage details that are vanishing fast in Melbourne’s beige-out. Soaring, vaulted ceilings with dark beams, original timber cabinetry and bathrooms clad in glazed cream and blue tiles will please families seeking a home in the Belle Vue Primary and Kew High zones.

The house has a lower-ground floor double garage and workshop with a semi-circular driveway.
