MP calls for ‘strongest’ gambling reform
of gambling, including a comprehensive ban on all forms of advertising for online gambling to be phased in over three years.
PRESSURE is growing on the federal government to adopt the recommendations of the “Murphy Report” on gambling reform.
Former Dunkley MP Peta Murphy chaired an inquiry into online gambling harm prior to her death last year. The inquiry’s report was released in mid-2023 - it made 31 recommendations to reduce the negative impacts
The federal government has not taken action on all of the inquiry’s recommendations, and has not publicly committed to doing so. Dunkley MP Jodie Belyea, who was elected to succeed Murphy in March, says she will continue to pressure her party to adopt the proposed reforms.
“My community has been asking me what I have been doing regarding the
pending gambling reforms contained in the ‘Win Some You Lose More’ report, chaired by Peta Murphy, my predecessor. Despite what has been printed in the media, the government is considering all options,” Belyea said.
“I have had in-depth discussions with the minister and her team on your behalf.
“I am concerned by the prevalence of gambling advertising, and I will continue to advocate for the 31 recommendations in the report so we can secure the strongest possible reforms.
There is no doubt that significant reform is needed to prevent and reduce gambling harms.”
The federal government is also facing strong outside pressure to take action. Last month the Alliance for Gambling Reform called for the recommendations to be adopted, and last week the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula added its support for the proposed reforms.
A letter sent by the Committee to its members read “Peta [Murphy] fought so hard for these changes, even in the
last few months of her life when her health was deteriorating. To date, the response from the federal government has been disappointing. We also note a growing number of government MPs feel the same way.
“We call on the federal government and opposition to work together and implement all the recommendations of the Murphy Report; including a total gambling ad ban, a ban on inducements, a national regulator, and a levy on wagering companies.”
COMMITTEE CALLS FOR GOVERNMENT TO ACTION
MURPHY REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS
The late Peta Murphy was brave, courageous and loved by this community –and we miss her dearly.
In June 2023, the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs tabled its’ inquiry into online gambling and its impact on those experiencing gambling harm.
This Standing Committee was chaired by our local Federal Member of Parliament, Peta Murphy.
The report found that ‘gambling advertising is grooming children and young people to gamble’, ‘encourages riskier behaviour’, and it is ‘manipulating a vulnerable audience online’.
When it comes to gambling, Australians are the biggest losers in the world. Here on the peninsula, more than $68 million was lost in the electorate of Dunkley and a staggering $80.69 million was lost in Flinders to gambling in 2022 – 2023.
Meanwhile, the losses around online gambling are difficult to measure – but we can see the impact of that nearly $300 million a year spent on gambling advertising has on our friends, family and vulnerable communities.
Peta fought so hard for these changes, even in the last few months of her life when her health was deteriorating.
To date, the response from the Federal Government has been disappointing. We also note a growing number of Government MP’s feel the same way.
We call on the Federal Government and Opposition to work together and implement all the recommendations of the Murphy Report; including a total gambling ad ban, a ban on inducements, a national regulator and a levy on wagering companies.
Other recommendations included more independent research and data collection, an online gambling ombudsman, a public education campaign, and a comprehensive national strategy.
The Committee calls on the Federal Government to deliver the recommendations from the Peta Murphy Report in full and provide a lasting legacy of Peta’s work and determination to protect young people and vulnerable members of our community.

Call for paid parking review
BAYSIDE Shopping Centre’s owners are being urged to scrap paid parking to encourage more visitors to Frankston’s city centre.
Frankston councillors have unanimously agreed to write to Vicinity Centres encouraging it to review paid parking at its Frankston shopping centre. The proposal was put forward by councillor Glenn Aitken at a meeting last Monday, 9 September.
Frankston Council administers its own paid parking scheme. After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic it began offering free two-hour parking at Young Street, Cranbourne Road, Playne Street, and Mechanics Hall.
Aitken said that despite failed attempts to advocate for free parking at Bayside Shopping Centre in the past, it is important to ask again.
“This is attempting to appeal to [Vicinity] as good corporate citizens to try and help reinvigorate Frankston’s town centre as a destination - a place for shoppers to come and spend time and spend money on products that they wish to purchase,” Aitken said.
“If you don’t ask, you don’t get. If you don’t make an effort, nothing happens. Let’s try again and see if perhaps they’d be willing to accommodate the council and our community’s wishes.”
The motion raised by Aitken read that more free parking around Frankston would help accommodate the growing population. It read that council “encourages Vicinity Centres to now review its car parking philosophy at the Bayside Shopping Centre to be more consistent with other key centres connected by rail, such as at contemporary shopping centres owned by Vicinity Centres at the Glen, or those owned by Westfield at Southland where the first three hours parking are free.”
Vicinity Centres was contacted for comment.

Kinder contracts signed
TWO kindergarten construction projects are set to get underway soon, with contracts signed last week.
Builders have been appointed to redevelop the Seaford Child and Family Centre and the Langwarrin Community Hub. Each project will add more kindergarten spaces to the buildings.
Frankston Council awarded a contract worth just over $4.12 million for the Seaford Child and Family Centre project, and a little more than $6.6 million for the Langwarrin Community Hub redevelopment. The state government awarded the Langwarrin project a $6.75 million grant through its early childhood grants scheme.
A report prepared by council officers read that both projects will help accommodate future childcare demand.
“The purpose of this contract is to provide construction works for the proposed Seaford Child and Family Centre which will provide an additional playroom with a total of 66 kinder places for local communities,” council officers wrote. “The Seaford Child and Family Centre, located at
41 Railway Parade, Seaford, currently houses a single playroom kindergarten, maternal and child health services, and a youth group. The existing Seaford Kindergarten was originally built in the 1970s and is now in need of redevelopment to meet both current standards and future community needs.
“The new Langwarrin Community Hub is being developed on the site of the existing Langwarrin Community Centre at 2 Lang Road, Langwarrin. It is considered best practice to integrate service delivery at one location where families can access early childhood education and care services including kindergarten programs alongside other key services such as maternal and child health, early childhood intervention services, playgroups, and family services. The project will provide a new kindergarten with total 99 kinder places and MCH for local communities.”
The Seaford works are scheduled to begin in December and last 10 months. Works at Langwarrin are expected to start in October, and last up to 12 months.

Arrest after car chase
A LANGWARRIN man and a Skye man are among four people facing charges over an alleged high-speed chase with police across Melbourne.
Police say they spotted a car driving “erratically” in Dandenong just before midnight between 2 and 3 September. They deployed stop sticks on Cranbourne-Frankston Road in Frankston, but the Holden continued into a carpark on Cranbourne-Frankston Road in Cranbourne.
Five people allegedly fled from the Holden then took off in a blue MG station wagon. That car was later spotted by police on the Peninsula Link Freeway and the Nepean Highway.
Police allege the driver ran several red lights on their way to Warrigal Road in Chadstone.
Police used “tyre deflation devices” on the Warrigal Road entry ramp, but the car continued onto the Monash Freeway before allegedly u-turning onto the wrong side of the road.
Police swooped in to arrest the occupants after they got out of the car in Malvern East. A 25-year-old Doveton man, a 19-year-old Hallam man, and a 27-yearold Skye man were interviewed and released, and are expected to be charged on summons. A 22-year-old Langwarrin man was taken to hospital, and is also expected to be charged on summons.
Two alleged offenders were still outstanding the day after the incident.

Langwarrin street raided again
TWO people were charged after a police raid in Heath Mews, Langwarrin on 6 September. The raid was the second police operation in Heath Mews over the course of the week. On 6 September police charged a 25-year-old Langwarrin man in relation to possess drug of dependence and negligently deal proceeds of crime relating to stolen identity documents and vehicle keys. They also interviewed a 54-year-old Langwarrin man, and said he “is to be summonsed to court at a later date in relation to possess ammunition without a licence.”
In a statement, Victoria Police said “police executed the search warrant at a residence in Heath Mews in response to recent activity in the area.” “Police wish to ensure the local community that when there is an issue it will be dealt with and that persons found offending or enabling offending in the local area will be targeted.

Planning changes to protect plants approved
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
NEW measures to protect plant and animal life in the Balcombe Creek Estuary and nearby land in Mount Martha have been put into place.
The state government gazetted planning scheme amendment C241morn earlier this month. The amendment implements recommendations from the 2022 Balcombe Estuary and associated reserves: Ecological and Planning Study report.
The gazetted planning scheme amendment covers 76.9 hectares of land. It reads that new zones have been applied to provide greater protection to indigenous wildlife and plant species.
Among a swathe of changes, a new overlay has been placed over the site “to identify and protect native vegetation specific to the area and require planning approval for buildings and works having regard to environmental systems, native fauna, habitat areas, land and soil stability, drainage patterns, and water quality.” The amendment provides exemptions “for minor works and maintenance activities to support the continuation of existing sporting, recreation and community uses within existing footprints and areas for low/minimal ecological value.”
Among the 76.9 hectares of land covered by the amendment there are 51.7 hectares of native vegetation, with 164 indigenous plants and a total of 108 indigenous and 10 introduced vertebrate animal species.
The gazetted amendment reads that the 2022 Balcombe Estuary and associated reserves: Ecological and Planning Study “identifies that ecological values within the area are under threat from impacts on native vegetation, water quality, land and soil stability, accelerated sedimentation discharge, fauna (including aquatic species and birdlife) and native habitat. Indeed, the study notes that previous studies indicate a trending decline in flora and fauna species, highlighting the need for greater protection of ecological values within the area. The study specifically identifies that existing planning controls do not provide sufficient environmental protection, apart from the removal of native vegetation.
“In balancing potentially competing interests, the study recommends that: future development of sporting, recreation and community facilities should have proper regard for identified ecological values, new development should be confined within areas of identified low/ minimal ecological value, and development and works reasonably required to support existing sporting, recreation and community facilities that would have low/minimal impact on the ecological values and environmental systems of the area should be allowed, subject to appropriate planning permit exemptions.”
The planning scheme amendment was first exhibited late last year. It was adopted by the Mornington Peninsula Shire on 11 June before it was sent to the planning minister for final approval. For more information visit planningschemes.app.planning.vic.gov.au

Seniors club marks two decades
THE Mornington Peninsula Life Activities Club has celebrated its 20th anniversary.
The MPLAC has more than 200 members across the Mornington Peninsula. It offers recreational activities to people at or past retirement age.
The club marked its 20th birthday at an event at Dava Hotel in Mount Martha on 8 September. Club member Denise Riley spoke, and certificates were awarded to foundation members Pam Burrows, Yvonne Martin, and Alan Goostry.
MPLAC publicity officer Campbell Opie said the club’s members “uncover and share hidden talents and new interests, gain new friends,
stretch muscles, and improve fitness through book clubs, cycling, golf, table-tennis, walking, yoga, and occasional camping.”
“Members also explore fascinating environments, culinary experiences, and trails in and beyond the peninsula. Minds are extended through cultural and artistic tours and performances, trivia nights, and games to name a few,” Opie said. “Life Activities clubs exist throughout various parts of Victoria relying entirely on volunteer members, who with support convene a range of regular and one off activities for members to enjoy.”

THURSDAY GRACE
7TWO, 8.30pm
If you’re a fan of this gritty British crime drama, then here’s some good news – season two kicks off tonight and there’s already two more in the can, with a fifth due in 2025. Based on the novels by Peter James and set in the foreboding UK city of Brighton and Hove, John Simm (pictured) makes a welcome return as Detective Roy Grace, who is still dealing with the aftermath of season one’s finale when he and Detective Branson (Richie Campbell) are tasked with investigating a former teacher’s disappearance and a grisly discovery in a Sussex field.
A circus certainly isn’t renowned for being the safest workplace around but in Grantchester’s season nine premiere, it’s not the trapeze or lions that pose danger under the big top – but a vicious crossbow murderer. Police detective Geordie (Robson Green) and vicar Will (Tom Brittney, pictured) investigate after a performer is found dead, and must deduce which of the circus’ eccentric cast of characters is the culprit. At the same time, Will weighs up his future after being offered a transfer to a new parish.

Frankston
Accident in Bay Street – A Little Girl Injured
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
ON Sunday afternoon last, about 3.45 o’clock, Joan Fry, a daughter of Mrs. E. Fray, proprietress of the “Tangerine” Cafe, in the Palais de Danse Buildings, Playne street, Frankston, accompanied by her younger sister, Leila, and Charlie Bunney, were crossing Bay street, Frankston, near Patroni’s Pier Hotel, when a motor cycle and side car, the driver of which was proceeding in the direction of the Mornington road, accidentally knocked down Joan, running over the child’s legs.
It is alleged that the driver stopped, got off his cycle, and after a cursory examination of the little girl, remarked:
“She is not hurt,” then remounted the motor vehicle and continued on his way, while, from a semi-official source, it is stated that when the child got in front of the cycle, he at once applied the brakes in an effort to avoid crashing into her, but it was too late to prevent the occurrence of the mishap. It is also averred that the child, subsequent to the accident, got up and re-joined her little sister and Charlie Bunney, and the rider of the cycle evidently deeming that no great harm had accrued, left his name, address and the number of the motorcycle, saying: “If I’m wanted, you’ll know where to find me.”
Dr. Maxwell is attending the child at her home. It is feared that besides having sustained several cuts and bruises, she has been injured internally, as hemorrhage has supervened. Otherwise Joan is wonderfully Bright under the circumstances.
Up to yesterday morning the matter had not been reported to Sergt. Culhane of the local police. ***
The. Councillors and the Quarry –The Truth is Stranger Than Fiction
During the monthly sitting of the civic fathers on Friday, 5th inst., a discussion arose concerning the Moorooduc quarry.
Towards the final portion of the debate, the newly-elected president (Cr. May) courteously requested that a subject matter affecting a prospective business deal be not reported in the Press, and the representative of “The Standard” briefly gave an assurance that nothing which would be detrimental to the interests of the quarry (meaning, of course, the foresaid “subject matter”) would be reported.
In this specific direction “The Standard” was loyal to the cause. Further, it may be emphasised that the entire controversy took place in open council, and if certain councillors stated their opinions concerning the quality of the quarry stone, such criterions, at any time, must be classed by the expert, as merely expressions emanating from the lips of amateurs possessed of the questionable adjudications of laymen; moreover, when any member of a local government body surcharges himself with the crude responsibility of asserting what he thinks about so abstruse a problem, as for example, road construction; the values of metal, or even the duties of a Shire Secretary, a qualified Shire Engineer, etc., it is obvious that the puerile criticism to which flamboyant utterance is given, naturally appeals to the accredited professional as of no material conse-
quence whatsoever.
In short, all the verbose assertions made by the individuals comprising a Council coterie, would not influence an expert nor prejudice the interests at stake.
While “The Standard’” certainly published a verbatim report of the discussion under review, it did not, as has since been grossly averred, give forth to the public at large the particular portion anent the subject of a prospective business deal, but strictly adhered, despite what recently transpired, to its promise by eliminating from its widely-read columns the “subject matter” in accordance with the desire of the president. Think it over!

Mornington Peninsula – Prosperous Towns - Activities at Westernport
Every year sees Melbourne steadily progressing along the bay front to wards Frankston and around the Mornington Peninsula.
Comparatively few years ago Melbourne proper extended practically only as far as Caulfield. Then Glenhuntly was absorbed. Next came Ormond. Now there is almost an unbroken line of suburban homes reaching for miles farther on.
Seaford has developed from being merely a siding for the despatch of sand for building operations in the city to a prosperous community. The increasing number of passengers joining and leaving trains at Seaford is conclusive evidence on that point. Frankston has developed into something more than a quiet seaside town. It is rapidly expanding.
One of the chief aids in this expansion has been the electrification of the
railway line, reducing materially the time required for the journey to and from the city.
Beyond, with the exception of Mornington, there were, until recent years, the fruitgrowing and agricultural areas, small townships, and the fishing villages along the seaside, the latter being very quiet during the winter months, but being suddenly galvanised into activity by the influx of visitors during the summer season.
Recently there has been steady growth in that portion of Victoria lying between Frankston and Westernport Bay. The construction of the main road to Flinders was the first and greatest step in that direction.
The route has become one of the most popular for motorists. The construction of the spur of railway from Bittern to Red Hill has also done much for a large area of country. It has been a boon in assisting the marketing of the fruits and other products of that portion of the Peninsula.
The establishment of Flinders Naval Depot on an arm of Westernport Bay has had a marked effect. The Depot was first occupied by a naval party in 1920, though construction work was commenced in 1912.
First and foremost among the benefits accruing is the matter of water supply. To meet the needs of the Naval Depot in this direction, the engineers of the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission designed a scheme to bring the water from the Bunyip River.
A main from Beaconsfield was first undertaken, in advance of the naval occupation. When this was completed attention was paid to towns and townships adjoining and in close proximity
to the water main route.
Frankston, Mornington, Somerville, Hastings, and Bittern, to mention only a few, have now an assured water supply, where previously householders were for the most part dependent on tanks.
Even in instances where townships have not been reticulated there is a means of access to water in dry months which has banished all fear of a water famine.
The scheme in its entirety is one of great magnitude. It provides the means by which sewer age systems may be installed.
In Flinders Naval Depot at present there are more than 1000 naval ratings. This is stated to be more than can comfortably be accommodated in the two three-storey brick barrack blocks. The building of a third barrack block for seamen is contemplated for the near future, the project having been favourably reported upon by the Federal Public Works Committee.
Some of the naval ratings are being temporarily accommodated on one of the vessels attached to the Depot. Among the works in progress at the Depot are extensions to the ward room officers’ mess.
The brick building is being extended to provide quarters for officers. The construction of a slipway at the main wharf is also in hand.
The establishment of a High School at Frankston has added to the educational facilities, and many pupils come from far beyond that town.

Redlegs celebrate premiership hat trick
MPFNL
By Brodie Cowburn
MEN'S DIV ONE
THE Mt Eliza Football Netball Club celebrated one of the greatest days in its history last Sunday when it took home three football premiership trophies from Kinetic Stadium.
Mt Eliza played Dromana in the Division One Seniors Grand Final. Dromana came into the game as favourites, having lost just twice during the season. After losing their qualifying final, Mt Eliza earned their way through to the big dance the hard way.
A bumper crowd turned up to watch on Sunday. Mt Eliza got out to an early lead, and took a 16 point lead into the first break.
The second quarter swung Dromana’s way. The Redlegs only managed to add one point to their tally, and went into the main break behind by 10. With the game on the line, a five-goals-to-one third quarter decided the result. Mt Eliza put their foot on the gas, and grabbed back the lead. The Redlegs held on in the last quarter to claim a hard-fought 7.10 (52) to 12.3 (75) win.
Christopher Carey, Nicholas MacDonald Girolami, Michael West, Finlay Bayne, and Tom Small were named in the Redlegs’ best. Mitch Smith and Lachlan Williams each kicked three goals. Jake Aarts was Dromana’s best.
Before lifting the seniors premiership to close out the day, Mt Eliza enjoyed a lot more success.
The Redlegs’ under 19s side won their Grand Final match against Langwarrin 11.16 (82) to 3.5 (23). The reserves were up next, and they also enjoyed the taste of premiership success. Mt Eliza’s seconds side beat Frankston YCW 11.7 (73) to 9.10 (64).

Reclink brings a footy final for all
FINALS fever is in the air, as Frankston hosted its first ever Reclink Footy League Grand Final last week.
Frankston’s Kinetic Stadium hosted the event last Wednesday, 11 September. The Salvo Hawks played the Cardinia Tigers in the first match of the day, followed by a clash between Latrobe Valley Panthers and Frankston Dolphins.
The Cardinia Tigers defeated the Salvo Hawks. The Frankston Dolphins and Latrobe Valley Panthers game was unfortunately cut short due to a player requiring medical assistance.
75-year-old “Zippy” was among the players on the day - Zippy said after the game that “our team players come from all walks of life. They’re dealing with mental health challenges, homelessness - there’s just so much going on. But for one day, they’re champions, they’re legends.”
Reclink is a charity which works to connect social service agencies with the sport and recreation industry. Reclink senior program coordinator Rhan Harris said “each player in this Grand Final has faced their own set of personal challenges and worked incredibly hard to overcome them. Their commitment to getting in shape, showing up, and embracing the spirit of Reclink is truly inspiring.”
“There’s nothing like the thrill of the first kick-off - the adrenaline, the nerves leading up to the final siren. It’s an experience like no other,” Harris said. “After the game, players unwind, and that’s when the real magic happens. We connect on a deeper level, sharing experiences and forming bonds that are deeply moving. It’s a powerful reminder of the impact that community sport can have.”

High hopes for Platt’s Mariners
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
THERE is nothing daunting about Charlie Platt’s first senior coaching assignment.
Self-belief is the buffer for any possible doubts about his ability to cope with the role Mount Martha announced last weekend when he was officially unveiled as the local club’s new gaffer.
“I’ll be honest with you I am always confident in my ability,” he said.
“I don’t mean to come across as bigheaded or anything like that but I’m confident in getting players to play the way I want them to.”
Platt aims to produce a senior squad that isn’t just capable of being ultra competitive but capable of taking an important step towards promotion.
And that should excite Mount Martha fans as the Mariners prepare to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
Platt turns 55 later this month and his football CV is impressive.
It starts with Cranbourne (Casey Comets) not long after he arrived from the UK with his family as an eight-yearold.
During his time at Cranbourne he was selected in a junior peninsula representative squad which included Doug Hodgson and Robert Runje.
His other junior club was Frankston Pines before progressing to the reserves then the seniors under coach Danny McMinimee.
He then switched to Seaford United for four seasons before returning to England for four years principally to visit with his extended family but while there he played at a semi-professional level.
Platt returned to Melbourne in the late 1990s and started working at Peninsula Grammar.
Two teachers there were involved with Mornington and provided a conduit for Platt’s 20-year relationship with the Seagulls.
He was a player, coach and administrator during this time and his ability and contribution were recognised when he was named in the squad for Mornington’s Team of the Half Century.
He also is a life member of Mornington but when his son Jacob switched to Mount Martha to get more senior game time his dad was in tow.
That was three years ago and after assisting Andrew Hall this year Charlie Platt finds himself at the helm of a senior squad that has only played three full seasons in State 5 South and has never finished in the top half of the league. He is the club’s fourth senior coach following in the footsteps of Chris Sanderson, Mark Larner and Hall.
“From the team we had at the start of this season there were only two or three who got picked consistently the year before,” Platt said.
“So for us it was always going to be difficult.
“We basically had a team that was playing at reserves level last year and I think they did an amazing job.
“Results often did not reflect how well this team played but results in the second half of the season are a reflection of how much work the players, Andrew and myself put in to get to the competitive level we reached.
“Some of these boys are now first team players rather than reserves trying to do their best.”
Platt is preparing for a big year in 2025 both on and off the pitch.
He thinks “probably four or five”
quality signings will speed up the squad’s progression while the opening of new clubrooms and the prospect of all the pitches being floodlit will help “sell” the club to prospective players.
“I’ve already spoken to players some who are at other clubs and some who might be heading back from overseas,”
Platt said.
“I’d love to have the problem of who to pick rather than everyone knowing who our starting 11 would be.
“I want to have 18 players that I can trust to put into the starting 11 or who can do amazing things coming off the bench.”
In coming weeks Platt expects the
Sudoku and crossword solutions
club to announce a senior assistant and a specialist goalkeeping coach.
The Mariners already have hired Serhat Ozenir as technical director and he will focus on “how we want to play from our juniors through to our seniors” says Platt.
If Platt’s prognosis is on point then Mount Martha won’t be marooned in State 5 for many more years.
“In the conversations I’ve had with the president (Rhys Piper) and other stakeholders it’s clear that they want to see Mount Martha progress.
“I think opening the clubrooms and the impact that can have on revenue feeds into the progress of the senior men’s and women’s teams.
“I’m really excited at where this club’s at not just on the field but off.”
In State 2 news Scott Morrison has been re-appointed head coach of Peninsula Strikers after guiding the Centenary Park outfit to a third-placed finish this year.
Morrison met with the committee last week and it didn’t take long to sign off on another promotion campaign.
Paul Nott has been re-appointed as reserves coach, Kosta Drakoulakos retains his strength and conditioning role and Steve Kenya continues as goalkeeper coach.
“I’m ecstatic to be re-appointed,” Morrison said.
“I love being at Strikers and working with Adrian (Scialpi) and the rest of the committee.
“It’s a dream job from a coach’s point of view because they give me their full backing.
“The club is in a really good spot right now and it’s a great place to be with what we are building.
“We have a special group of players and falling just short this year has made us so much hungrier to succeed next year and go one better.”
Strikers haven’t wasted time in targeting new signings albeit that Morrison is keen to retain the majority of his squad.
It’s believed that one of the newcomers has agreed terms already and another is due to meet with the club this week but Strikers won’t release their names until after this weekend’s presentation night.
“We’ve lost ‘Macca’ (Andy McIntyre) through retirement but I want to keep the majority of the squad and that’s what I expect to happen,” Morrison added.
“We built the team we wanted last season and the boys are going to be much better off for the year they’ve had.
“Consistency is the key for me heading into this pre-season.
“The boys know how we go about it, how we want to play our football and what’s expected from them and that is really important as we aren’t starting from scratch like a lot of other teams.
“We also want to promote from within and we have proven that we will give youth a go.
“Take young Billy Rae for example
who started every game this year at 18 years old and there are other youngsters here who have shown that they are good enough.”
In State 5 news Rosebud will fly the flag for peninsula football when contesting Saturday’s Grand Final against Heidelberg Stars.
The game kicks off at noon at the Home of the Matildas and the winner will claim the title of Victoria’s best State 5 team.
The State 5 South champion reached the grand final by defeating State 5 East champion Mount Waverley City 3-2 last weekend at IYU Reserve in Pakenham.
All the goals came in a frenetic first half with legendary scorer Dave Greening nabbing a brace.
Greening was adamant that he should have been credited with a hat-trick after getting on the end of a goal-bound cross which was eventually bundled over the line by a Mount Waverley defender and given as an own goal.
Rosebud’s best were Jack Wyer, Caleb Davies, Louie Bisogni and Greening.
Head coach Stuart Johnson was absent due to a family commitment so Stan Packer and Jason Symonds took charge for the day.
Symonds is well aware of the challenge facing Rosebud this weekend.
“There’s a recent Heidelberg game on Football Chaos and they do look a handful,” he said.
“They move the ball well and quickly.
“It will be tough and the game is up at Bundoora so it’s virtually on their doorstep.”
Meanwhile Aspendale’s senior women’s team came within a whisker of completing the perfect season after going down 6-5 on penalties in Sunday’s State 3 grand final against Melbourne University.
It won the previous week’s semi-final 4-0 against Collingwood City with goals from Lily Smith (2), Chloe Lewis and ex-Southern United midfielder Sage Kirby.
Aspendale claimed the State 3 South title with 16 wins from 16 games and an imposing +55 goal difference.
Scoring sensation Smith won the league Golden Boot award by hitting the target 29 times, 18 goals ahead of the chasing pack.
