Councillor expenses on the rise Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au CLAIMED expenses by Frankston councillors rose by nearly double in 2017/2018 compared to the previous financial year. Council’s annual report revealed that councillors claimed $56,327 in expenses in the period from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018. This is a large increase from the previous years’ expenditure of $30,255. Most of that money was tied into

“conferences and training”, with the total spent by councillors on those services totalling just over $30,000. Cr Kris Bolam spent $10,794 on conferences and training in the last financial year, while Cr Quinn McCormack spent $8,334. At an October 2017 council meeting, it was agreed that Crs Bolam and McCormack would attend a “Company Directors Course”. Funds for that course were sourced from the training budgets for 2019 and 2020. Cr Michael O’Reilly, the deputy mayor, racked up the smallest bill. He

claimed expenses for an iPad and a mobile phone to take his total for the year to $1,460. Cr Steve Toms claimed phone expenses of $2,166, while mayor Cr Colin Hampton claimed phone expenses of $1,268. On 1 December, the allowance for all councillors rose from $29,630 to $30,223. The allowance for the mayor rose from $94,641 to $96,534. The report also showed that attendance to council meetings had dropped from 94% to 86% as a result of “unex-

up to

pected circumstances related to illness and travel.” Council’s cost of governance, the direct cost of governance service divided by the nine councillors rose steeply compared to the previous year, up from $44,130 to $54,295. The reason for the rise was attributed to the state government appointment of the Municipal Monitor. The report noted that council achieved a surplus of $30.27 million in 2017/2018, a drop from last year’s surplus of $32.994 million.

The report listed the greatest achievements of the last year as the advocacy for investment into the electrification of the Frankston line to Baxter, advocacy for funds to revamp Jubilee Park, a $2 million investment into the Frankston Waterfront, and the success of the inaugural Big Picture Festival in March. The report is the first full report with the current batch of councillors, with last year’s report briefly covering the period with the previous council prior to the November 2016 elections.

Jubilant days at Jubilee Park Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au JUBILEE Park is set to receive another funding boost under a re-elected state Labor government, with $10 million promised to the centre if the party wins the upcoming election. The funding will go towards the implementation of a multipurpose stadium at Jubilee Park, with courts for netball and an indoor cricket training hub. The stadium will include six netball compliant sports courts, a 1000 spectator seat show court, female friendly change rooms, and new function rooms. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke announced the promise for funding on 11 October. “This massive upgrade will mean the next generation of Frankston’s sporting stars have the great facilities they deserve. Whether it’s cheering on the mighty Peninsula Waves or having a hit with the Frankston Peninsula Cricket Club, I know how much this investment will mean to local families,” he said. Trish McLachlan of the Frankston District Netball Association said they are “absolutely elated” to hear about the funding pledge. “To think there has been a commitment to supporting our netball community is wonderful. Women in sport and women in our community will benefit through this project. This project is going to do so much for Frankston and the region. I’m still on cloud nine. We’re absolutely thrilled,” she said. “It’s been a long journey, the project for Jubilee Park has been on the table for quite some time. I started in my role three years ago and it was an agenda item back them. I had a conversation with the other precinct stakeholders, Frankston YCW Football Club, Frankston Peninsula Cricket, and also Frankston RSL, and

a commitment of $10.6 million to the project to revamp Jubilee Park, while the federal government has put in budgeted funding of $5.2 million. Their commitment came after the reallocation of funds designated basketball facilities in Seaford. “I’d like to thank Paul Edbrooke and the Victorian Government for their commitment towards improving sport and recreation opportunities at

Jubilee Park,” Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said. “I encourage the Federal Government to increase their existing contribution to match this and for the Federal Opposition and Victorian Opposition to match funding this valuable sporting project for our community and region to enjoy for decades to come.”

Customer injured at recycling centre A CUSTOMER at the Frankston Regional Recycling and Recovery Centre has been injured after being struck by machinery at the Skye facility. The female was struck by a loader excavator at 12:30pm on 11 October, and was taken to the Alfred Hospital via an ambulance. She has since been released

from care. WorkSafe were informed and attended the site to begin determining how the incident occurred. Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden put out a statement that said “council has been made aware of an incident involving a person being struck

THE Victorian Liberal Nationals have pledged to provide $10 million in funding towards Frankston High School if elected in November. The funding would be used for an extensive refurbishment of the school’s existing administration building, general learning areas and technology areas. Frankston Liberal candidate Michael Lamb said that “parents in the Frankston community are keen to see their children have the best education possible and they should be able to send their children to a quality school in their local area.” “Frankston High School is a great local success story where school leaders, the community and parents have all worked together to create a fantastic culture,” he said. Shadow Minister for Education Tim Smith said that “Frankston High School is an outstanding local secondary school. A facilities upgrade will support teachers in delivering world-class education, knowing they have the necessary resources to help their students continue to excel. The Liberal Nationals are committed to providing first-rate facilities at Frankston High School and giving local students every chance they need to pursue a quality education.” The seat of Frankston is one of the most marginal in the state, and the campaign will be hotly contested in the lead up to November.

FRANKSTON Council has announced they have secured the Big Picture Festival to return in 2019. “Council is committed to supporting unique events and tourism experiences which attract new visitors into our city, and the Big Picture Festival certainly did that last year,” said mayor Cr Colin Hampton. “The festival, which sees established and emerging street artists create lasting artworks on buildings and in laneways across the city attracted scores of people in its inaugural year, with numbers expected to increase substantially in 2019.”

“The driver involved is receiving the appropriate support. This is a terrible incident and I would like to offer my sincere apologies to the person involved,” Mr Hovenden said. The recycling centre is back open after closing on the day after the incident.

Breakfast back on the menu THE meals service provided by Frankston Life and Frankston Churches Breakfast Club is back up and running after a period of inactivity. The service kicked off again on 1 October, with meals to be served from a new venue at Frankston Chisholm between 7am and 8am from Monday to Thursday. Dunkley MP Chris Crewther said “from November 2017 I called together a committee of local organisations to try to bring back the meals service for

the homeless, vulnerable and those in need, that was previously run by CityLife and the Frankston Churches Breakfast Club.” “After a number of meetings with the group, I then went out to Dandenong to approach new CEO of Chisholm Institute, Dr Rick Ede, to see if Chisholm would consider providing a site at their Frankston campus for the service, with a mutual benefit of involving Chisholm students in the long-term. I was pleased that he was very open to the idea.

“I must thank Chisholm Institute, Frankston Life, Frankston Churches Breakfast Club, SHAC Seaford Housing Action Coalition, Seaford Community Committee, Theodora’s Cheerful Givers, That’s The Thing About Fishing, Frankston City Council, LifeGate Inc, John Paul College, Rotary Peninsula 2.0 and Community Support Frankston for their joint hard effort with me to get this crucial local service up and running again.”

Convention centre plans revealed Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A CONVENTION centre with a capacity of over 1000 people has been touted for Frankston. The centre, which may double as a hotel, has been advocated for by Dunkley MP Chris Crewther, who says he is working to potentially secure federal funding for the project. “I mentioned the vision for this concept in my maiden speech in September 2016. Frankston is the perfect place for a major Convention Centre, particularly given Frankston is located by the beach, is connected by public transport, and is the hub of the peninsula with its access to wineries, flora and fauna reserves, great local businesses and more,” Mr Crewther said “I’ve been provided with a concept by architect Amir Duzduzani that he has been using to give people an idea of what an iconic architecturally-designed, modern, open, light-filled and green Convention Centre would look like.” One potential location discussed for the venue could be at the former site of the sand sculptures at the Frankston Foreshore, although concerns about a pumping unit under the ground may cause difficulties. The council-managed land at the foreshore is one of a number of discussed locations. “A Convention Centre linked in with a 5 star hotel would bring na-

tional and international conferences and events to Frankston, as well as thousands of visitors and tourists. My vision is that this would in turn invigorate local businesses and further Frankston’s positive image on

both the national and international stage. With a unique and attractive architectural design, it would also attract tourists to see the building itself, much as with the Opera House in Sydney,” Mr Crewther said.

“Any potential site should enable the Convention Centre to fit into, enhance and improve the surrounding landscape, show off our natural assets for locals and visitors, enable the retention of existing surround-

ing infrastructure, provide more than sufficient extra parking, and be iconic to Frankston.” Frankston Council will be asked to look into different potential sites, but has yet to discuss the matter.

Suspicious fire FRANKSTON Crime Investigation Unit are looking into a suspicious blaze that broke out at the rear of a property on Olivia Court Carrum Downs. The fire broke out at 2.30pm on 8 October and spread along the fenceline of the property. It cause damage to the deck, pergola, and spa bath. The blaze was started in the paddock and is being treated as suspicious by police. The property is adjacent to St. Joachim’s Catholic Primary School.

ATO scammers hitting Frankston A SPATE of phone hoaxes have hit Frankston residents, with scammers calling people up pretending to be from the Australian Tax Office. The scammers have been calling from overseas and impersonating ATO workers, and telling people to transfer money from their bank accounts to an account with the Commonwealth Bank. Police say the callers threaten their victims by telling them there is a warrant out for their arrest. There have been three reported cases involving locals in the last week, with victims from Frankston and Karingal losing thousands of dollars each. Frankston CIU Detective Senior Constable Bernie Dowling reminded residents that it is standard ATO

practice to “send a letter rather than make a call.” The ATO does not threaten people with arrest.

Cars taken off road A BURGLARY took place at 2.20 am on 9 October at Jeff Wignall Ford on Flinders Road, Hastings. Thieves stole seven vehicles from the dealership in a narrow window of time. Two of those vehicles have now been recovered, with one, a Subaru, found burnt out on Yarralumla Drive, Langwarrin. The remaining five vehicles still at large are a maroon 2015 Ford Everest, a black 2018 Ford Everest, a blue 2018 Ford Focus, and two grey 2018 Ford Rangers. One of those vehicles has a David Wignall Ford logo on the side of the car. The burnt out Subaru Outback was spotted at a Kmart on Hall Road in Carrum Downs at 1.50am on 10 October. Two males exited the vehicle and broke into the retail outlet, using a crowbar to access and steal three cash boxes. The men were wearing hoodies and gloves. By 3.15am, the vehicle was alight. Anyone with any information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000

Beach Road theft A VIOLENT and disturbing carjacking took place on Beach Road

Frankston which has seen a woman in hers 50s left shaken up. The woman was parking on the road on 5 October at 4.30pm, and was being observed by a man loitering next to a nearby shop. As she went to exit the car, the man approached the woman, and demanded she hand over the keys. The man forcefully threw the woman out of the vehicle and took the keys, driving off in the Volkswagen Golf GTI. A local witness helped the woman, who did not suffer any

major injuries. An ambulance came to inspect her injuries but she was not required to go to hospital. The car was recovered in Latrobe Valley on the morning on 6 October, with minor damage and missing items, including a mobile phone. The man is described as being in his early 20s and of caucasian appearance. He was wearing light coloured tracksuit pants, a green top, and a black cap.

Petrol patrol CARRUM Downs police patrolled a Coles Express petrol station on 5 October. Police caught a man filling jerry cans. Scans of the car he was driving showed the vehicle to be displaying a stolen registration plate. The 24 year old Langwarrin male was arrested interviewed and charged with theft, traffic and weapons offences. He was bailed to appear before the Frankston Magistrates Court on 8 February, 2019.

Lengthy test run for Coast Guard Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A MOCK rescue conducted by the Frankston Volunteer Coast Guard on 3 October has shown it takes roughly 40 minutes to make a rescue from their current temporary base. The rescue team departed Patterson Lakes Marina at 11.10 am, and travelled along Patterson River in slightly difficult conditions. The rescue vessel was bound for the south of Oliver’s Hill jetty. At 11.30am the distressed vessel was reached, and it took another 20 minutes to tow the boat back to the Olivers Hill boat ramp. Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton attended the mock run, and highlighted the importance of building the coast guard a new home at Oliver’s Hill. “Currently, no safe boat refuge exists between Sandringham and Safety Beach for Coast Guard

and Water Police boats, with vessels moored more than 45 minutes away in Patterson River, delaying rescues by up to 100 minutes in adverse weather,” he said. “On top of that, the Frankston Coast Guard’s operations centre had been condemned after it reached the end of its serviceable life, with services and rescues currently being coordinated out of temporary council facilities.” “Every second counts when it comes to an emergency. This example is evidence that the current facilities for marine rescues aren’t up to scratch. We’re asking for state and federal governments to commit $8 million each to deliver the vital marine safety that our Coast Guard, Water Police and all bay users need and deserve.” The Coast Guard’s old building was demolished in September, when they moved into a temporary space at the Mechanics Institute in Frankston.

Getting ready for emergency

Big Bonbeach boost THE Labor state government has announced a $2.6 million funding boost for Bonbeach Primary School for the construction of a new early centre for pre-schoolers. The funding is not reliant on the upcoming state election, and is budgeted under the 2018-19 round of the Children’s Facilities Capital Program. The rebuilt preschool will be constructed alongside Bonbeach primary School’s $6.3 million new main school building announced in March. “Three-year-old kinder is the smartest investment we can make and it is something that will have real impact on families right across Victoria, including here in the Carrum electorate,” Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said. “Universal access to three-yearold kinder is an Australian-first and make no mistake, this will change lives.”

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council has joined forces with Kingston Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire, and Greater Dandenong Council to host an event designed to “educate the community and ensure they are emergency ready.” ‘Operation Emergency Ready’ will be launched on Saturday 13 October at Harmony Square in Dandenong. A range of interactive activities and demonstrations on water safety and fire behaviour will be on display throughout the day. Visitors can also meet with emergency services representatives and learn more about the work they do. Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos said local families could “gain vital tips to help them put together their own emergency action plans.” “We want to make sure our communities are kept safe and healthy, so come along to make sure your family knows what to do in times of emergency.

THE Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club in Dingley Village are set to wind down operations in preparation of vacating their current site. The land currently occupied by the golf club is the proposed site of a controversial housing development, which has drawn heavy criticisms from Dingley Village residents. The gates of the club will close to members on 1 December, and new owner ASRP1 will settle on 31 January 2019. The land was bought by the developer in September 2014. ASRP1 Kingswood senior development manager Anna Martiniello expressed frustration that the permit to build on the land had not yet been approved. “We are not golf course operators so the site will be locked for safety reasons. It’s very disappointing for both us and the local community that we don’t yet have an agreed pathway forward for the land,” Ms Martiniello said. Ms Martiniello has defended the planned subdivision of the land into 760 lots for housing against criticism. “It’s important to plan carefully, which is what we’re proposing for Kingswood. It will have a range of housing options, thoughtfully spread across the site, along with connected walking and bike paths and parks. The introduction of wetlands to the area will encourage

wildlife,” she said. “We understand the concerns that some people have about development, but the demographic trends, the quality of master-plan and the recreational benefits to the community are a compelling reason to support the project.” An unprecedented number of submissions totalling over 8000 were made to Kingston Council opposing the subdivision of the land. Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus is among the names opposing to the development. The matter is set to be decided at a 17 October Kingston council meeting, although regardless of council’s decision, the final say will come down to Planning Minister Richard Wynne. A special meeting of council was called to discuss the issue, with Crs Hua, Brownless, and Gledhill co-signing the notice. “We received thousands of submissions about this proposed development through our public consultation process and know that there will be a lot of community members who will be interested in watching this discussion,” said Kingston mayor Cr Steve Staikos. “We recommend watching the meeting live online, however limited seating will also be available in the public gallery of the Council Chambers.” Council says that ran a six week public consultion campaign to “make sure the community had the chance to provide feedback on the proposal.” That meeting will commence at 7pm.

Funding for Scouts slammed

Show stopper: Natalie Hutton’s ‘Echoplex’ dress took out the Avant-Garde award. Picture: Supplied

Winning in impressive fashion MENTONE designer Natalie Hutton has returned from the World Of Wearable Art awards in New Zealand this weekend with an impressive accolade. Ms Hutton was one of only eight Australian finalists in the final, and faced tough competition from 148 other challengers from 17 different countries. Her debut piece, called ‘Echoplex – Goddess of Reverb’ from her Claudia Savage range, took out the Avant-Garde section award. “An outer body experience is the best way to describe it,” Ms Hutton said about winning the award. “It’s going to take some time to sink in. I’ve been an exceptionally hard critic on myself for my whole life, that having such a long standing and internationally renowned creative institution

recognise you in such a way has really knocked me into an unfamiliar headspace.” Ms Hutton said the competition criteria inspired her to try her luck. “The mystical grey area that is my creative life of too arty for fashion and too fashion for art found itself the perfect home,” she said. Ms Hutton’s gown took eight years to put together. It weighs 15 kilograms and features 50 metres of hand stitched silk panels. Ms Hutton said each individual panel took eight hours to complete by hand and the gown has 40 panels. The gown took Natalie about 500 hours of sewing. “It’s been overwhelming in an awesome way,” she said. “I couldn’t believe the reception it received, I was just so happy.”

FRANKSTON councillors have slammed a request by the Carrum Downs Scouts to secure $250,000 to move into a new home. The scouts were seeking the money to move into a new location at a Carrum Downs warehouse, but were promptly shut down at the 1 October council meeting. The scouts’ former home was demolished as part of a redevelopment at Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve. Cr Steve Toms said it was “outrageous” to request this amount of money. “There are many scout groups in the city, and quite frankly I find it astounding that one gtoup should ask for such an enormous amount of money,” Cr Toms said. “Scouting is a state government responsibility, scot groups have leasing arrangements with council but that is where it should stop. I am a great believer in the scouts movement, but ratepayers should not be footing the bill of $250,000.” The motion put to council was that they note the request for $250,000 and monitor “the current lease agreement and the Carrum Downs Recreation reserve and provide an extension to enable relocation within a reasonable timeframe.” The motion was carried unanimously. Cr Glenn Aitken said “it’s an unfortunate situation because a scout group is a great organisation, but it puts us today in a difficult situation where we’re being asked for a quarter of a million dollars. The sad part of that is that it is not going to get through. While the intent of the organisation is good, it appears to me to be a less than happy outcome.” The request was asking council to match the $250,000 in funding provided to the group by the state Labor Government in September.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Letter sent appealing for Sir John Madden memorial Compiled by Brodie Cowburn THE Frankston Progress Association, at its last monthly meeting decided to organise funds for a memorial in Frankston to the late Sir John Madden. If sufficient funds are received it is proposed to erect a large brick pavilion in the Frankston Park, at a cost of about £3000. The president is personally supervising and organising the collecting of donations, which, it is hoped, will come from all parts of Australia. Over his own signature the president personally addressed and directed a total of 2000 letters to friends of the late Chief Justice. The following is a copy of the letter mailed: Dear Sir or Madam, I have the honor to address you, as your name has been advanced to me as a friend of the late Sir John Madden, who was, because of his unfailing kindness and courtesy, most deeply respected and loved by the people of Victoria. You had, I venture to feel, great admiration for the late Chief Justice and Lieutenant Governor who was undoubtedly one of Australia’s most esteemed and valued public men. It is felt by many, that it would be almost a crime to fail to erect a fitting and lasting memorial to him, who always had the interests of our State, and the welfare of our people very close to his charitable heart. The late Sir John Madden resided for many years with his family at Frankston; and was always in keenest sympathy with the efforts of Frankston residents to forward the interests of the village to which he belonged. The deceased assisted our local

efforts with his presence and words, and by personally taking part in local entertaments and by monetary gifts. As this highly respected public man, whom I feel you claimed as a true and loyal friend, selected by his own choice Frankston as His home various and many Melbourne citizens consider that a suitable and lasting memorial should be erected by friends, and the public, of the late Sir John Madden, in Frankston. With this object in view, the Frankston Progress Association has taken up the project, and if sufficient funds can be raised it is proposed to erect, in the Frankston public park, a brick pavilion (the cost of which would be in the region of £3000) as a memorial to the late Sir John Madden. We feel you will agree with our idea, and assist us to feature same. We desire your assistance and support, and respectively and earnestly ask for it. We sincerely trust you will see your way to forward a donation for this worthy fund. We offer you our best thanks in anticipation. Donations addressed to the writer, “Warren Hill” Frankston, will be duly acknowledged per letter and in the press. —Very truly yours, J. B. JOLLY, President, Frankston Progress Association. *** MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son, Auctioneers, 72 Swanston street, Melbourne, report having sold through Mr J. L. Parkes (one of their auctioneers), 52 acres at Flinders, cleared and fenced, known as Boyd’s paddock, to Mr J. J. Clark, of Flinders. ***

THE Treasurer Roll of Honor Fund gratefully acknowledges receipt of the following donations : Mrs B. M. Garrood (counter box) £1 3s; Back to Childhood Dance (per Miss Laurissen) £10 5 ; Mr W. P. Mason, £1 1s; Mr H. McComb, £1. £13 9s. *** THERE was a crowded house at the Protestant Federation meeting on Thursday evening in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall. Interesting addresses were delivered by Rev. J. C. Farquhar and Cr. D White. A full report will appear in our next issue. *** MR H. Bray, of Bay Street, received word from the Defence Department that his son, Arthur, had been wounded at the front. No further particulars have been received but we trust that the wounds are not serious. and that he will be convalescent before long. *** ON Monday next will be presented at the Frankston, Mechanics’ hall a Series of Pictures showing the Australians in Action in Flanders. Little Mary McAlister (America’s wonderful child actress) with her squad of soldiers will also be shown. Warrant Officer David will address those present. The admission is free, but a collection will be taken up to defray expenses. *** AT the recent examinations in music of the associated board of the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music, London, the following pupils of Miss T. Carter were successful:

Lower division (3rd grade) pass, Lynette Utber; Eileen Utber. Elementary division, (2nd grade) passed with honors, Phillis Hocking, Doris Hughes. Pass, Marjorie Morgan, Moara Cameron, Jessica Wells, Louisa Coxall, Walter Fisher. Primary division (1st grade) Constance Mason, Thomas McMurtrie, Ian Heath, Myra McComb. *** MR A. E. Lasslett, Hon. Treasurer to the Frankston Roll of Honor Fund, desires us to mention that when returning thanks to those ladies and gentlemen who were the means of making the “Back to Childhood” dance such a success, that he inadvertently mentioned Mr. W. Millett as the organiser. Miss Hettie Laurissen is the lady to whom is due the praise and congratulations for her kindly action and successful management. *** ON Saturday last the Australian Club gave a most enjoyable. evening to returned soldiers. There was a large attendance and the time was most pleasureably spent in dancing with light refreshments being handed round during the evening. On Monday evening the Wattle Club held an invitation social to welcome Lance-Corporal Bunney and Driver Roberts, both of whom are home on furlough after having four years at the front. The evening was spent in cards and dancing. A good musical programme was also rendered. During an interval Constable Ryan (who was on a visit to Frankston) gave a hearty welcome to Driver Roberts,

on behalf of the club, congratulating him on his safe return. Lance Corporal Bunney was unable to be present owing to a prior engagement. On Tuesday evening a public welcome was accorded the two veterans in the Mechanics’ Hall, the building being crowded. Crs Oates and Mason and Rev A. P. McFarlane gave short congratulatory addresses, conveying to the guests the heartfelt wishes of one of the biggest and most representative gatherings ever assembled in the hall. “They are Jolly Good Fellows” was enthusiastically sung as the soldiers entered the hall, and one had only to catch a glimpse of the bright smiling faces to understand the unspeakable pleasure that was burning in the hearts of the welcoming and welcomed alike. Mrs W. P. Mason arranged an excellent programme in her well known thorough manner; the following artists assisting; Misses Edwards, M’Lellan, Laurissen, Bray and Croskell; Mrs Boyett, Drum Major Scarf, Sgt. Widburn, Privates M’Kim and Lunn, Messrs Laslett and Payne and Master Keith Tait. Miss O’Grady played the accompaniments with her usual ability. At the conclusion of the musical programme a dance was arranged: Mr A Brierley kindly supplying the music and Mr Thompson acting as M.C. The refreshments were under the management of Mrs H. M’Comb, while Miss P. Twining carried out the secretarial duties. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 19 October 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Pleistocene Potato Cake Debacle By Stuart McCullough ON one level, I understood. Under the light of the Bain Marie, they looked nothing short of spectacular. I could see my colleague was instantly smitten and, having regard for their enormity, drawn into their gravitational pull. I’d certainly never see anything like them. But whereas my workmate was enamored, my own reaction was one of fear. I simply didn’t feel comfortable around anything that was so freakishly huge. Honestly, they were the largest potato cakes I’d ever seen. They looked pre-historic. Like mega fauna. In fact, I wouldn’t have been at all surprised if they’d been cooked with a ten-foot wombat firmly in mind. But, given this was a truck stop outside a regional city and that a Diprotodon was unlikely to appear anytime soon, I had to reconcile myself with the thought that these monstrosities were intended for human consumption. My workmate bought two. The person at the service station may have raised an eyebrow. As if she knew that my workmate was, quite literally, about to bite off more than he could reasonably be expected to chew. Despite her obvious skepticism, she used a small crane to lift two potato cakes and lower them into a paper bag. With a great deal of effort, he managed to carry them back to the car. As the designated driver, I had to witness the horror of what followed as my workmate attempted to eat these prehistoric potato cakes. It was obvious that something was wrong. After the very first bite, an-

PAGE 14

ticipation was immediately replaced by fear, a sense of betrayal and an overwhelming feeling of nausea. There was a cry of disbelief. A wail of anguish. A flurry of limbs to wind the window down just in case his body was to immediately reject the deep-fried abomination it had just been subjected to. Clearly, this was no ordinary potato cake. According to Wikipedia (no, really) an Australian potato cake comprises a thin slice of potato that is battered and deep-fried out of existence. (Sadly, Wikipedia is silent as to why, whenever you order fish and chips, you always get an extra potato cake. Perhaps some things are best left unexplained.) In something of a

Frankston Times 16 October 2018

state of shock, my colleague held the gigantic fried potato fritter aloft to invite closer inspection of this piping hot abomination. From the driver’s seat, I noticed that between the layers of batter there was not only potato but ham and melted cheese also. How dare they. Some things should not be trifled with. They are sacred and not subject to variation. To change them is to defy history itself and could well constitute a renunciation of everything that we as a society hold dear. I could tell my passenger was having a terrible time. Despite the obvious displeasure, it soon became apparent that my colleague was determined to not let an

aberrant potato cake get the better of him. Even though every mouthful was unpleasant, he continued to crunch down through the batter, through to the controversial contents that lay beyond. When I suggested that he simply throw what remained out the window, he looked at me as though I’d just uttered something so heretical that it was not worthy of a response. We fell into an awkward almost silence, punctuated only by the sound of breaking batter and chewing. I kept my comments to myself. It sounded like hard work. It sounded unpleasant. As we rolled into town, my colleague finished off the second potato cake before immediately declaring that he felt quite unwell. It was hard to have

much sympathy. It’s difficult to watch someone suffer at the hands of a deep-fried snack food. To see them as everything they’ve ever understood about potato cakes is called into question. By the time I parked the car, it was obvious that he no longer knew what to believe in. Every thing he knew had been challenged by what I was now referring to as the ‘mega-cake’. This was clearly so much more than a gastronomic calamity; itt had quickly become something of an existential crisis. Perhaps he should have asked for tomato sauce. When we arrived at the venue, there was plenty of food, all of it deliciously orthodox. My workmate, who had just consumed something he considered to be an absolute culinary atrocity, didn’t feel hungry. If only he’d waited ten more minutes, he’d have had a large array of conventional food at his disposal. Two weeks ago, I drove past that service station. I thought about stopping to buy one of their so-called potato cakes. To serve as a warning. Namely, that you should never buy a potato cake so large that – like the Great Wall of China or Chadstone Shopping Centre – it can be seen from space. In the end, I kept driving. No one wants to travel back to Melbourne with a gigantic potato cake in the passenger seat beside them. Besides, I would have felt silly strapping it in with the seatbelt. Such absurdity would truly have taken the (potato) cake. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Rosebud dig in against Seaford time they had, as Flinders ended up at 9/187 off their 40 overs. At David Macfarlane Reserve, an opening stand of 92 was not enough to see Mt Eliza over the line as they made the road trip down to Sorrento. Tim Clarke put on 52 run before putting one into the waiting hands of Leigh Pohole. Mt Eliza finished up at 7/164. Sorrento showed intent early, and ran away to 1/113 to put themselves in the box seat. A good all round performance saw them chase down their target with 6 wickets and 3 overs in hand. At Baxter Park, Mornington have pulled off a great escape by tearing through Baxter’s middle order to defend their total of 8/146. Baxter were cruising to a win at 3/111 with plenty of overs in hand, before they lost an astonishing 5/1 to undo all of their hard work. Glenn Wood and Rueben Higgins made a mockery of Baxter’s middle order, as they finished all out for 135, just 12 runs short of a win. The final match of the weekend saw Langwarrin easily do away with Pearcedale. Langwarrin set a target of 194, but bowled out Pearcedale for a paltry 93 before they even got close.

By Brodie Cowburn

DISTRICT

ROSEBUD have bounced back from a difficult start to get the better of Seaford at Olympic Park on Saturday. Seaford won the toss and sent their opponents in to bat, which looked to be a masterstroke early. Rosebud’s openers Kane Donald and Pete Doughty both fell for ducks to leave their middle order to pick up the pieces. Billy Quigley came in to steady the ship with a handy 29, but Rosebud still found themselves struggling at 6/66. They showed signs of life to knock 77 runs for their next two wickets, finishing up on 8/143 from 40 overs. Dil Pageni was the pick of Seaford’s bowlers. Conceding just 9 runs with 8 overs and claiming a wicket. Pageni came in to open the batting and again proved himself a star, scoring 65 runs in an opening stand of 87. Seaford found themselves cruising at 4/120 with just 44 runs needed to win, before Billy Quigley started to tear through them. A quick fire hat trick left Seaford battered and bruised, and the rest of their tail quickly fell too. They went from 4/120 to all out for 126. Their final six batsmen were all dismissed for ducks. Billy Quigley’s 4/23 off six overs, hat trick, and run out made him an easy pick for man of the match. Seaford Tigers didn’t fare any better than their crosstown rivals, falling to Heatherhill at home at Belvedere Reserve. The Tigers batted first, with David James’ half century proving the highlight of a grim innings. Outside of James, the rest of the Tigers’ specialist batsmen were dismissed for a combined total of just two runs. They were left badly beaten all out for 116, a total Heatherhill chased with ease. Steve O’Donnell opened and put 61 runs on the board, helping his team to a thumping 6 wicket win with 21 overs in hand. At Roy Dore Reserve, Mt Martha took on Carrum and elected to bat first. A shaky start left Mt Martha struggling at 2/34, before a well batted 55 from Ryan Godwin helped stabilise their innings. Mt Martha finished up at 6/156, a defendable total. Carrum looked to have shot themselves in the foot with a shocking start, left languishing at 4/24. A brilliant partnership from Dylan Steed and Sam Ridgway got things back on track soon enough. Ridgway’s 79 not out was enough to gain his team a hard fought 5 wicket win with 2 overs to spare. At home, Delacombe Park batted bravely to claim a thrilling win over Hastings. Hastings batted first, with Luke Hewitt’s impressive half century being the highlight. Jake Hewitt also leant a hand, smacking two sixes on his way to a handy 40. Their good work was undone by a weak showing from their tail. Ricky Ramsdale tore through their weaker batsmen, claiming impressive figures of 4/11 off 8 overs. Hastings set a target of 165. As Delacombe Park came in to chase, opener Jonathan Guthrie looked on right from the word go. He raced away to a masterfully

taken half century, but his teammates were dropping like flies. Delacombe Park were left at 9/145, requiring 21 to win with just one wicket in hand. Guthrie took the game on and ended up claiming his side a stunning win. His 75 not out proved to be a match winning knock, as his side scored the one wicket win.

PENINSULA

A BRAVE knock from skipper Aaron Paxton was not enough to help Long Island over the line against Main Ridge. Paxton batted beautifully on his way to an impressive half century, but had little support from his teammates. Paxton watched six of his teammates fall around him, with only one scoring more than six individual runs. Daniel Polson eventually claimed his wicket, as they finished up all out for 156. Main Ridge got off to a good start, with their opener and skipper Shaun Foster also putting on a show. He scored 68 runs and had plenty of help from his top order. Main Ridge claimed a five wicket win with five overs left to spare. At Red Hill Recreation Reserve, Red Hill held on to defend a small score against Pines. Pines performed well with ball in hand to hold Red Hill to just 134 runs, and looked likely to chase it down during their innings. At 1/70 Pines looked as if they would chase their target down with ease, before things went pear shaped. They lost 8/22 quickly after that, before Jamie McCall claimed the last wicket to put them out of their misery. Pines finished all out for 114, having had a good opportunity for a win wasted. Somerville also battled hard at home, but narrowly fell to Moorooduc.

An opening stand of 72 from Somerville’s openers put them in the box seat, with Brenton Alp’s 55 setting their innings up nicely. Somerville failed to build on their strong foundations, but still ended up with a respectable total of 151. Mooroodoc’s openers fell for just 13 runs between them, with Nick Marshall claiming both their wickets. A brilliant 61 from Madushanka Perera quickly got thing back on track as Moorooduc narrowly managed to chase down their target with just three wickets in hand. Nick Marshall could hold his head high, conceding just nine runs from his eight overs. Baden Powell closed the round out by dominating Crib Point. Baden Powell opened the batting and performed well, with most batsmen contributing well to an impressive total of 171. Crib Point looked little chance of chasing that down, as they fell to just

3/15 early on. They ended up all out for 103, with Shannon Small’s 1/8 off eight overs doing most of the damage in terms of restricting the run rate.

PROVINCIAL

PENINSULA OB have held on to claim an impressive win in a high scoring clash with Flinders. Old Boys went into bat first, and put together a massive total thanks to a stunning middle order partnership between Tom La Brooy and Wade Pelzer, who combined for 103 runs. Pelizer eventually fell first for 69 before La Brooy saw his wicket fall for 75. OB finished up on a whopping 5/221, setting Flinders a mammoth target to chase. They had their work cut out for them, but a stunning third wicket partnership of 114 between Neil Barfuss and Tom Clements put them right back in the hunt. Unfortunately once their wickets fell, the tail end could do little with the

A FRANKSTON YCW masterclass was the most impressive performance of a weekend of uncompetitive cricket in Sub Districts. YCW took on Carrums Downs and were made to bowl first, but that proved no challenge for the Stonecats. Carrum Downs were decimated at home, with Liam Greenwood posting figures of 3/15, and Levi McLoughlinDore topping that with 4/11 from his eight overs. Carrums Downs finished all out for 79, a total the Stonecats chased down with 21 overs to spare. Skye also struggled badly at home, as they hosted Balnarring. Brenton Taylor bowled just four overs, but did all the damage by wiping out Skye’s middle order with figures of 3/10. Skye finished up at 102 all out. Balnarring took just 27 overs to chase that total down, losing just two wickets in the process. Dromana had a bad weekend up against Tootgarook, having their defendable total of 138 quickly wiped out. Mark Whitehead was impressive for Dromana as opener, falling for 69 runs. When Tootgarook came in to chase, it was clear they intended on getting home as soon as possible. They lost six wickets, but chased down 138 in just 27 overs. Boneo also had luck away from home, as they travelled to RJ Rowley Reserve to take on Rye. Boneo were sent in to bat first, and initially struggled at 3/34. They quickly steadied their course and finished up with an impressive 9/175, thanks to a handy innings of 69 from Ryan Jellie. Rye worked hard but their run rate proved a massive issue, thanks to economical bowling from Chris Jobling, who claimed 3/13 off 8 overs, and Flinn Shiel who claimed 4/6 off 5 overs. Rye finished at 8/110, well short of Boneo’s target. Tyabb had a bye.

Thumbs up for Spencer, ‘Squizzy’ SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A DAMAGING presidency battle was averted last week after Steve Spencer was elected at an extraordinary general meeting at Frankston Pines. It had been widely expected that former vice-president Daniel Plaiche and recent interim president Hamdija “Boz” Osmancevic would run against each other but neither party turned up to the meeting. Osmancevic had been the only candidate for president a fortnight earlier at the club’s AGM but stood down after a dispute erupted about his managerial style forcing last week’s meeting to settle the impasse and elect an executive. Rumours flew about Osmancevic’s intentions and involved speculation about a possible merger with Heatherton United and uncertainty about what an Osmancevic administration would mean for co-tenant Southern United. This had all the hallmarks of deliberate scaremongering and in the end there was only one candidate for the top job. There was a lot at stake last week not least being a $3.2 million state-of-theart facility at Monterey Reserve which will involve demolishing the existing social rooms and dressing rooms with work expected to begin next September and take at least eight months to complete. When finished Pines will have one of the finest sporting facilities on the peninsula which will provide an opportunity for the club to regain its former status if utilised properly. Right now the club does not have a vice-president but Lee Davies is treasurer, Ash Spencer is secretary, Tommy Mitchell and Michael Tervit are on the general committee and Patrick Duffy will act as council liaison officer. One of Spencer’s first tasks as president was to appoint Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor as new senior coach and Darren Roberts as his assistant. Paul Williams had previously stepped down as head coach and is believed to be looking at other coaching opportunities. Had Osmancevic become president Taylor would also have been on the coaching staff working alongside former Pines keeper Peter Blasby who may return to a specialist coaching role at Mornington. Taylor has previously coached Seaford United’s reserves and seniors, the NPL under-20s at Bentleigh Greens and Langwarrin and been head coach at Westgate.

Welcome home: New Frankston Pines senior coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor (right) and Pines life member Tommy Mitchell. Picture: Darryl Kennedy

Pines was the first club he played for after returning from England in the early 1980s and he coached the reserves in 2006 and was Williams’ assistant in 2016. Roberts played professionally for English giant Wolverhampton Wanderers and has been senior coach at Skye United and Seaford United. However there is uncertainty over Roberts accepting the role and he was weighing up work demands as we went to print. That thrusts former Langy senior assistant Robert Mathieson into the equation but he plays his cards close to his chest. Mathieson would not be drawn on speculation about a possible involvement with Pines but it’s believed that he also is on Baxter’s radar and has spoken with newly appointed Baxter gaffer George Hughes about an assistant’s role. Taylor’s appointment adds spice to next season’s State 3 South-East derby with Skye United given that he was recently interviewed for the senior coaching job there, a position that went to former Skye player and assistant coach Phil McGuinness. It’s not known if Skye had hopes of tapping in to the talent pool of young players at Langwarrin but there’s little doubt that Taylor is now eyeing half

a dozen members of Langy’s 2018 under-20s squad. It’s believed that his gaze is focussed on Cedric Benza, Nick Simmons, Max Boulton, Alex Whyte, Travis Ernsdoerfer and Keegan Guy among others. These players may decide to pursue their dreams at NPL level but Taylor is determined to offer them the opportunity to continue their development. “I’m not saying that we’ll get all the players we’re interested in but if we did then we would have a very, very good squad that could go very, very close next season,” Taylor said. “I want to provide the chance for young players to develop in an NPLlike environment without the associated cost and politics involved. “My aim is to make Pines the local club of choice for upcoming talent – a finishing school I guess for young players looking for senior experience to continue their career path.” Taylor also wants to create a blend of young and experienced players and believes that Pines already has a number of players who could comfortably fit into his plans for next season. “I want to put together a side that plays an exciting brand of football that’s easy on the eye – just like we did with Bentleigh Greens and Langy’s under-20s.” While Taylor was non-committal

it is expected that one of the players he will be talking to shortly is former Langy keeper Robbie Acs. He also is believed to be keen to speak to Boris Ovcin, Andy McIntyre and Jonny Guthrie but if rumours are correct so are other local clubs. Whether or not Roberts takes the assistant job there’s a strong chance that his son Alex, currently with Brandon Park, will be another Taylor target. Meanwhile Langwarrin announced last week that Paul Truman had been appointed head coach of the under-20s with Ben Caffrey assisting. Truman holds a UEFA A licence and has coached at South Dandenong (now Dandenong Thunder), Bentleigh Greens and Bulleen and has also coached in Thailand. Caffrey had a distinguished playing career with Langwarrin, Moorabbin, Richmond, Peninsula Strikers and Frankston Pines and has been an assistant coach at Strikers and Pines. Truman and former Langy senior assistant Ronnie Whitton have swapped roles with Whitton filling the vacancy at Bulleen’s under-20s created by Truman’s departure. Langy will conduct trials for its under-18 and under-20 squads on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting this week. The under-18s start at 6pm and the under-20s at 7.30pm.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Due to work at Lawton Park the trials will be held at Baxter Park and participants can register through Langwarrin’s facebook page or via the club website. In NPLW news Aaron Myatt has returned to Southern Stars after accepting the under-19s coaching role at the club’s presentation night last weekend. Myatt originally declined the offer after being replaced as senior coach the previous week but the executive was keen to retain his services. “We’re delighted that Aaron has changed his mind and we are looking forward to the part he’ll now play in our coaching framework,” technical director Harry Chalkitis said. Southern announced last weekend that strength and conditioning coach Kosta Drak has been re-signed for 2019. Drak runs Dandenong-based 747Fitness and has worked with players at Bulleen, Springvale White Eagles and Brandon Park. He is head of strength and conditioning at Forest Hill Sports Academy and Noble Park Secondary College football program. Southern holds trials for new players this week in under-12, under-14 and under-16 age groups at 6pm on Monday and Wednesday at Monterey Reserve. Existing players join the trials next week. Under-19s and seniors trials start next week with sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting at 7.30pm and existing players are expected to attend. In other news Danny Verdun has hit the ground running as new coach of Peninsula Strikers and has arranged a pre-season game against Mazenod at Centenary Park on Saturday 23 February at 4pm and 6pm. That’s the third game arranged by Verdun in a matter of days after last week announcing friendlies against Kingston City and Collingwood City in January and February respectively. Verdun also confirmed that Strikers will compete in the 2019 Steve Wallace Memorial Cup. Last week FFV released the voting in its league best and fairest awards as well as scorers in its Golden Boot awards. Somerville player-coach Dave Greening added the State 5 South best and fairest award to his ninth straight league Golden Boot award while recently retired Skye United striker Caleb Nicholes won State 3 SouthEast’s Golden Boot.

Hockey players pick up silvers at nationals MORNINGTON Peninsula Hockey Club had five players represent Victoria at the Women’s Masters Championships in Bunbury, Western Australia on Thursday 27 September. Four of the women, Emma Brown, Kim Trezise, Julia Ashmore and Margaret Nettleship, returned home with silver medals from the national competition while Rebecca Gipp finished just shy of a bronze. Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club goalkeeper Julia Ashmore said “it was a great result from everyone”. Ashmore, who usually plays in the over-45s, competed in the over-40s Victorian team which had to merge with the over-45s due to the lack of numbers. Ashmore said the side had their

chances in the gold medal game against Western Australia in which they were narrowly beaten 3-2. “It was anyone’s game, it could have gone either way,” Ashmore said. “We had about six from the over40s and six from the over-45s merged into the team and we were playing against women in their low 40s. I think we did really well to come away with a silver medal.” Emma Brown and Kim Trezise represented the Victorian over-35s side which faced an undefeated Queensland team in the gold medal game. Queensland showed their dominance by claiming the gold medal 4-0 and ending the championships seven wins from seven matches, but Brown and Trezise still walked away with a silver medal from the nationals and comfortably held the other states at bay. Margaret Nettleship represented the Victorian over-65s and just missed out on claiming a gold medal. Nettle-

ship came up against an undefeated New South Wales side in the grand final and forced the match into a shootout after ending normal time tied at 1-1. Unfortunately for Nettleship the NSW side got the better of the Victorians in the shootout, claiming the win 3-1. Rebecca Gipp competed in the over-50s competition and finished fourth overall, however the Victorians didn’t go down without a fight. The Victorians ended the bronze medal game tied 1-1 after the final whistle against NSW, but were eventually defeated 2-0 in the final shoot-out. Following the Women’s Masters Championships, Kim Trezise and Julia Ashmore were announced as part of the over-40s and over-45s Australian teams which will compete in the Trans-Tasman Masters Hockey Challenge on the Gold Coast in April next year.

Mornington juniors ace table tennis nationals MORNINGTON Peninsula Table Tennis Association had four representatives compete at the National Junior Table Tennis Championships in Townsville, Queensland on Saturday 29 September. Georgia Hollow, Charlie Hollow, Joshua Cheung and Matt Hookey put in outstanding performances to compete at the top level, and returned home with seven top-10 finishes. Georgia, 7, and her older brother Charlie, 10, were the youngest competitors to join the Victorian squadron which competed at the championships. Despite being only seven-years-old and only picking competitive table tennis up three months ago, Georgia competed in the under-11s team’s competition and finished seventh overall.

Georgia went on to win three matches at nationals and enjoyed the experience of representing her state. Charlie, who was ranked 17th in Australia prior to the tournament, competed in both the under-11s and under-13s team and singles events. He finished ninth in the under-11s teams competition and 10th in the under-13s team event, while in the singles he finished 16th overall in both the under-11s and under-13s competitions. Charlie and Georgia’s father, Scott Hollow, said it was a great experience for them to have their first time competing at the nationals. “They’ve definitely learnt a lot watching how the other players play,” he said. “It’s different playing at this level for

them. All they want to do is attack the first ball instead of having rallies. I’m sure they’ll learn a thing or two. “It’s probably a little daunting to them but you’ve got to lose to win and they’ve been great through the whole competition.” Joshua, 15, competed in both the under15s and under-18s categories. He finished in sixth position in the under15s teams event, equal-ninth in the under15s individuals event and equal-fifth in the under-15s doubles. In the under-18s, Joshua finished equal33rd. Matt, who turned 17-years-old during the championships, competed in the under-18s singles and the under-19s teams competition in which he finished equal-33rd and 10th respectively.

Laurie hoping to strike gold with Rainbow MORNINGTON-based trainer Matt Laurie has Stakes ambitions with his smart filly Rainbow Girl after she kicked clear for a comfortable fourlength win at Bairnsdale on Sunday 7 October. The daughter of Pierro had to overcome the second-widest barrier (9) to take up the lead, but once she crossed there was nothing able take ground off her in the straight. Trainer Matt Laurie was more than happy with the performance. “I thought it was very good,” he said. “She had to jump from the wide barrier and cross them but she still managed to kick clear very strongly she did it tough at both ends.”

Following Rainbow Girl’s victory in benchmark 64 class, Laurie pointed out the Listed $120,000 Harrolds Crockett Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday 27 October as her next target. “After her win at Cranbourne her rating just stayed at 62 so we had to place her as best we could to try and get her rating up and she won accordingly,” he said. “She’s now rated at 67 and she’s only had the four starts so that should be enough. “It looks a suitable race on paper and the Moonee Valley circuit should suit her well.” Despite showing exceptional early speed, Laurie believes his filly could

also take a sit if need be in the threeyear-old fillies contest. “I think she would come back underneath you if we wanted but we made sure she was up there last start to take away any bad luck and with just the way the track was playing you needed to be up there,” he said. Jockey Michael Dee also shared positive comments following Rainbow Girl’s Bairnsdale win. “[The most impressive part was how she was] doing the work at both ends when we were being so aggressive out of the gates and then just the way she put them away at the finish as well,” he said. “She was definitely a class above.” Ben Triandafillou

Clay target shooter fires at World Championships FRANKSTON Australia Clay Target Club shooter Michael Buttigieg has made a brilliant World Championships debut at the World Skeet Championships in Texas, USA on Friday 28 September. Buttigieg finished third overall in the 12 Gauge World Championships before taking out the World Zone Five Man Team event alongside David O’Sullivan (FACTC), Sam Agostino (Cecil Park, NSW), Jack Stockdale (Korumburra) and Adrian Cousens (Bairnsdale).

Buttigieg was one of 28 competitors, out of a field of over 700, to shoot 150 out of 150 in qualifying for the 12 Gauge World Championships. Fellow FACTC shooters Glenn Clarke and David O’Sullivan also managed to shoot 150/150, with Glenn taking 8th place overall. Further to Buttigieg’s successful start, he also went on to shoot 100/100 in qualifying for the 20 gauge event and finished fifth overall. That placing allowed him to be victorious in his AA grade.

Frankston Australia Clay Target Club secretary Jane Vella said it was an outstanding result for Michael. “It was Michaels first World Championships, and as one of Australia’s most decorated Skeet Shooters, I’m sure it won’t be his last,” she said.

Smith returns as Tyabb womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach CRANBOURNE Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Football Team premiership coach, Kris Smith, has made the move to coach the Tyabb Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football team next season. Smith, who was originally looking to stay in the VFL coaching ranks, was welcomed back to the Tyabb Football Club two weeks ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a club in which he played a couple of games for in 2000 when they won the flag. Smith said he pounced at the opportunity to coach the Tyabb womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for

waiting to hear back,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Potentially weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even hoping to get another Tyabb side in the making for division three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be largely dependent on numbers but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve currently got between 30 and 35 players on the roster so hopefully we can get enough players in to have a development squad as well.â&#x20AC;? The 2018 Division Two grand final winners, Bass Coast, will be moving up to Division One following their 14-point premiership victory over Tyabb.

the new season to come around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish it would start tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to be with a team that had the potential of being in division one and I believe Tyabb is just that.â&#x20AC;? After finishing runners-up in last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division Two grand final, the Tyabb Football Club is hoping their womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side can make the jump into Division One for next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spoken to the league about the possibility as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been keen to make the move so now we are just

Smith admitted it would be a tough competition but was positive that the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side would be competitive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a challenge for sure but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident we can compete well against those mid-level teams and if we can make it through to the finals thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be perfect,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wanting to bring in some new talent that I know as well as potentially getting some youth girls coming throughâ&#x20AC;? Smith said he will be taking a slightly different approach this season by letting the players enjoy some

time off until Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The season doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really kick off until the end of April so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look to ramp up training after Christmas,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four months will be plenty of time to be ready to go by the first round.â&#x20AC;?
