Mayor calls for rate cap review
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
FRANKSTON mayor Nathan Conroy
has written to the state government to criticise its cap on council rates just three days after publicly calling for council officers to investigate a rate freeze.
Frankston Council made a submission to the state government’s inquiry into local government funding and services on 27 June. The submission, signed by the mayor Nathan Conroy, read that the state government’s rate cap is restricting council’s ability to generate revenue.
“The current rate cap system is not providing sufficient rate revenue to match the actual increase in the cost base of existing services and infrastructure,” Conroy’s submission read. “A key longterm problem is that councils do not have adequate base-level funding.
“Rate capping has prevented councils from increasing rates beyond the cap set by the Victorian Government based closely on CPI. Council is of the view that there is a need to introduce a Local Government Cost Index for the setting of the Victorian rate cap, that reflects the costs factors of local government.”
The submission was sent just three days after Frankston councillors approved Conroy’s proposal to investigate a range of cost-of-living relief measures, including a rate freeze.
Before voting to direct council officers to produce a report on the financial impact of a rate freeze, Conroy said “we acknowledge that the current cost of living crisis is affecting people throughout our community, and this report sets the foundation for a new council to have information - the data, the social, economic, and political reasons why we should or shouldn’t change our long-term financial
plan.” (“Rate freeze considered at council” The Times 1/7/24)
Conroy did not respond to questions from The Times by publication deadline.
The rate cap restricts how much councils can raise rates and charges on average each year. The state government set a rate cap of 2.75 percent for the 2024/2025 financial year.
Submissions to the inquiry from both Frankston Council and the Mornington Peninsula Shire read that “cost shifting” was putting council budgets under strain. The Shire’s submission read “due to cost shifting MPSC anticipates an expenditure of $38.1 million in operational costs for 2023/24, with projections reaching a staggering $234 million over the next five years.”
“The ongoing practice of cost shifting by the state and federal governments over the years has posed a significant financial challenge, jeopardizing both the provision of essential services and the financial sustainability of local government. Examples include the recent kindergarten reforms, the Recycling Victoria kerbside reform and the management of the expansive foreshore. However, these mandates often come without sufficient funding, considering the level of service expected,” the Shire’s submission read.
Frankston Council’s submission to the inquiry read that “the additional responsibilities falling on council are costing millions each year, with a strong need for more robust funding allocated by the state government.” It called on the state government to “undertake a detailed forensic financial analysis of service shifting to local government” and “allocate appropriate funding levels, with a minimum funding split of 50:50 if with one level of government, or a three-way split if with all three levels of government.”

Man sentenced for toddler’s murder
BRENDAN Pallant will spend at least 25 years behind bars for the 2019 murder of two-year-old Jaidyn Gomes-Sebastiao in Langwarrin. Pallant had been living with Jaidyn Gomes-Sebastiao’s mother for a short time when the murder took place. He used part of a metal table to inflict fatal head injuries on the toddler while his mother was out of the house on the afternoon of 2 September, 2019.
On 18 July last year, a jury found Pallant guilty of Gomes-Sebastiao’s murder. Last week, he was sentenced in the Victorian Supreme Court to 32 years in prison. A non-parole period of 25 years was set.
Justice Jane Dixon said that the age and vulnerability of the victim played a part in the sentencing. “The law regards all human life as unique and sacred. However, the life of an infant or a young child is especially precious, because children are so vulnerable and defenceless,” the judge said.
“The ordinary, natural instinct of any decent human being is to feel tenderness and protectiveness to an infant or young child.”
Pallant, now aged 37, grew up in Mornington and attended Mornington Primary School and Mornington Secondary College. The court’s decision read that he has used drugs throughout his life, and had used the drug ice
on the morning of the murder.
In her sentencing, Justice Dixon said “I agree with the Crown submission that neither personal distress and loss of control nor the effects of drug use provide any excuse for an assault of this nature on a two-year-old child.”
“Although you did remain at the scene and answer police questions, I consider that your behaviour after the assault on Jaidyn was largely selfserving and aimed at deflecting responsibility for the injuries to Jaidyn. You have continued to deny responsibility and shown no remorse. Your moral culpability is high,” Dixon said. Brodie Cowburn

VCAT rejects high-rise plan
Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
PLANS for a 14-storey building at the former Frankston cinema site have been rejected.
The proposal for 438-444 Nepean Highway in Frankston was considered by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Earlier this month, VCAT handed down its decision to refuse a planning permit for the project.
The “Pace” project started out as a 16-storey proposal. Earlier this year the plans were amended, and a revised 14-storey proposal was sent to VCAT for consideration. The final proposal featured 133 apartments. The proposal has sparked community backlash - opponents to it said that it forms part of the “Great Wall of Frankston”, a series of high-rise proposals near Kananook Creek. Another of those projects, a multistorey building at 446-450 Nepean Highway, was approved by VCAT this year (“High-rise building approved” The Times 23/4/2024).
In its reasoning, VCAT wrote that the height and form of the Pace building were areas of concern. “We have considered the decision guidelines concerning how the development is to respect the visual qualities of the foreshore and Kananook Creek and environs. The character of Kananook Creek and the trail is open and flanks the rear boundaries of residential properties. This is a sensitive outlook, and we find the proposal’s height, in conjunction with other built form considerations, to be

inappropriate and not what is anticipated,” the VCAT order read.
Lobby group’s ‘ambitious blueprint’ for the future
THE Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula has launched a strategic plan based on the region’s population reaching 350,000 over the next 15 years.
While the state government is pushing for 67,000 new dwellings to be built in that time in Frankston and on the peninsula, the committee’s plan calls for “diverse housing options … for home buyers, renters, work force, crisis accommodation and visitors”.
The committee also wants “meaningful bus services”, trains every half hour between Hastings and Frankston, and express trains for a 40-minute service from Frankston to Melbourne.
Other projects being pushed in the strategic plan include redeveloping Rosebud Hospital, a “renewable energy terminal” at Hastings, a “flagship” conference and exhibition centre and hotel, an extra lane on Peninsula Link and safer, less congested roads.
The controversial renewable energy terminal (to assemble offshore wind turbines) was put on hold in January by federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek who said it had “unacceptable and unmitigable risks to the Ramsar Wetlands of Western Port”.
bers, key stakeholders, and workshops held at the committee’s Future Forum in April”.
Priority areas for public and private investment and support were homes and livelihoods; better connectivity; better infrastructure; sustainable development; smarter people; healthy communities; a thriving local economy and world–class destination.
Sinclair said the priorities included “key advocacy objectives and opportunities” that aligned with local governments, health and education providers, large employers, and community organisations on the peninsula.
Sinclair said the committee wanted “our fair share of government support for … diverse and dense housing”, including in Frankston, which has been designated by the government as a key metropolitan activity centre.
Release of the strategy plan also follows a visit to Canberra late last month by Sinclair and Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Simon Brooks to lobby politicians about housing and homelessness on the peninsula and the use of port land at Hastings.
“We also consider that a proposed height too closely replicating that of the Harbour development to the south, results in lack of variation inconsistent with the general design requirement for buildings to create an interesting and varied skyline. In our view, a lower height together with setbacks and breaks between and within built form would result in a better outcome.”
The plan was measured against the draft 2023 FMAC Structure Plan, and the interim 12-storey height limit currently placed over the site by planning minister Sonya Kilkenny.
The Port of Hastings Corporation has since announced that work on the Environment Effects Statement (EES) process for the terminal is “progressing” (Investigations into wind terminal effects, The Times 17/6/24).
The committee’s CEO Josh Sinclair said the strategic plan had been developed “through consultation with mem-
With its sights set on using portrelated land near Hastings for housing and “broader commercial and industrial use”, the committee outlined the benefits of improving the Stony Point railway line and providing more frequent and reliable services from Frankston towards Hastings.

Shopping centre assault
AN assault at Bayside Shopping Centre which left one alleged offender with self-inflicted wounds is under investigation.
Police were called out to the Frankston shopping centre at around 11am on 16 July. They were told that two men had assaulted three victims inside the centre.
Police allege one of the offenders “brandished an edged weapon”, reportedly a machete, but only managed to cut their own hand. The alleged offenders soon fled on foot.
The three assault victims each sustained some minor injuries, but were not required to be taken to hospital.
Police say they have recovered the weapon from a bin near the centre. They have asked any witnesses to contact them to assist with their ongoing investigation.
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Stabbing at restaurant
A STABBING at a Frankston restaurant is being investigated by police.
Victoria Police said in a statement that three young people were seated at a restaurant on Karingal Drive at around 7.50pm on 13 July when they were approached by a group of approximately eight other young people. An affray then allegedly broke out before everyone fled the scene.
Police allege one of the people involved was stabbed in the hand.
Investigators are now looking into the incident. Any witnesses can assist police by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or making a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
Our recent conversation with artists Lisa Walker and Brendan Huntley with MPRG curator Dunja Rmandić was recorded and you can now watch this on our YouTube channel. It is also available as a podcast. They discuss how sitting across both fine art and craft allows them the freedom to break rules.

Dog collar burglar wanted
A MAN wearing a dog collar allegedly committed a series of aggravated burglaries in Langwarrin earlier this month.
A man tried to steal car keys after breaking into a house on Wattlebird Crescent sometime after 6pm on 14 July, police say. The man was confronted by a resident and ran to a neighbouring property. After being confronted again he fled to a third house.
Police allege the man tried and failed to start two cars before running to the next house. There he was confronted by another resident, but managed to make off with a set of car keys. The offender fled in a stolen 2021 Mazda CX5 wagon with registration 1ZN5SU.
In a statement, Victoria Police said the man was wearing a dog collar and had possibly sustained facial injuries prior to the burglaries.
“The offender was perceived to be Caucasian in appearance, about 168cm tall with a skinny build, and spikey blond hair. He was wearing a lime green-coloured top and had a distinctive, large dog collar around his neck,” a police statement read. “The residents who confronted the victim reported him appearing to have preexisting facial injuries. Investigators have also been told the offender made claims to residents that people had assaulted him.
“Detectives have concerns about the bizarre circumstances surrounding the incidents and are hoping to identify the offender and speak with him, not only regarding the Langwarrin incidents but also to establish whether he needs medical treatment or was subject to any earlier offending.”
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au to assist investigators.
Activity key to 100 healthy years
PHYSICAL activity and healthy
eating has been the key to a long life for a Frankston South man on the verge of turning 100.
John Nankervis will celebrate his 100th birthday on 24 July. The Second World War veteran now resides in Frankston South.
Before enlisting in the Second Australian Imperial Force in July 1942, he worked as a salesman. He served in New Guinea, Borneo, and Celebes in present day Indonesia. After his discharge from the army he worked as a furniture salesman, fencing and timber delivery driver, and a manager of furniture manufacturing companies.
Nankervis shared two children with his wife Nanette. The Department of Veteran Affairs says that he is still involved with his community - it said “John used to be involved in voluntary work for the Lions Club and he was also a member of Probus. Now he likes to read the newspaper, have lunch every fortnight at the RSL Club, attend the Lions Club meetings, and participate in activities at the aged care facility.
“John credits his long life to always being physically and mentally active and, as his wife was a dietitian, eating healthy food also helped him reach 100.”

Drawing competition winner announced
WH CHONG has been named the winner of the “people’s choice prize” in McClelland Gallery’s 2024 Rick Amor Drawing Award.
Chong won the award for his drawing Two Painters (pictured above). More than 5000 visitors to Langwarrin’s McClelland Gallery voted his work the best. He won a $1000 prize.
McClelland Gallery executive director Lisa Byrne said the winning work is “an intense expression of human observation, melded with the artist’s response to Jungian analysis. The superimposition of two figures in different orientations is captivating and the script running through the image provides an interesting, collaged effect.”
The winner of the $20,000 Rick Amor Drawing Award, Ian Hay, will have his piece permanently displayed at McClelland Gallery now that the exhibition has closed.

Frankston
Mornington MP Chris Crewther’s parliamentary speech on 20 June glossed over and ignored problems with nuclear power as an energy source. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and, in the southeast and southwest of the country, it is getting even drier.
Nuclear power plants require huge amounts of water to stay safely cooled. At Three Mile Island, United States, a cooling malfunction caused part of the core to melt, destroying a reactor. At Fukushima, Japan, the failed power supply disabled cooling systems causing all three reactor cores to melt.
Overseas, drought has forced reactors to shut down. The four inland plants proposed by [Opposition leader] Peter Dutton would take water from rivers or aquifers.
Then there’s the radioactive waste. According to Scientific American, even though the US has had nuclear power since 1958, it has yet to agree on a storage site. About 88,000 tonnes of spent fuel are stranded at 77 sites across 35 states, increasing by about 2000 tonnes a year. The article concludes: “Even if the US starts today, it will take decades to site, design and build a facility for disposal of its nuclear waste stockpile.”
And finally, there’s the need for ongoing monitoring to avoid accidents. After Fukushima, the US set up 61 centres just to respond to accidents. In 2022, half of France’s reactors were shut down because ultrasound checks found stress corrosion in their cooling systems.
Australia does not want to import these costly and risky problems. The simplicity and cleanliness of renewables avoid them all.

Rooming house fires
A recent article about fire prevention (Plan to prevent fire deaths, The News 16/7/24) provided information to assist residents escape fire and have fire preventative measures. But in rooming houses
in Frankston there is very little fire prevention measures.
The only fire prevention is a smoke alarm there are no automatic water sprinklers or fire extinguishers.
There have been two fires in rooming houses in Karingal in recent times one in Eula Court which was allegedly drug related and one in Minno Court.
The council used to visit rooming house but stopped doing so and standards have dropped.
The governments need to investigate the safety of rooming houses as they are prone to fire and there are no mangers to prevent trouble or drug taking and if fire breaks out then properties near by can also catch fire.
Landlords also allow grass to grow high which could also cause fire and the Frankston Council needs to make sure that grass is mowed and kept short in rented properties.
The present situation in rooming houses will cause deaths through fire.

Close shops on Anzac Day?
The current debate revolves around the potential closure of large shopping centres on Anzac Day next year.
Let’s consider the response to the closure on Good Friday as an example. Seeing so many overflowing shopping trolleys on Thursday is astonishing. Why? It’s just one day of closure, with shops reopening on Saturday, yet people complain about the closures.
The same situation applies to Anzac Day. Again, it’s just one day. It is disappointing that some households cannot work around them.

Over cooked news
It appears that recipes are popular at both federal and state levels of government. Flinders MP Zoe
SOCIAL media was in a flutter last week after it was noticed that a typo had crept into the signage on the redeveloped Alexandra Park Sports Pavilion.
“Shire officers, the architects and contractors worked together on this project, including the signage,” said Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Simon Brooks.
McKenzie mentioned a scone recipe in her latest newsletter (Let them eat scones, Letters 9/7/24).
Zoe is not alone in the cooking stakes. Here in the state electorate of Hastings, we get instructions on how to make pumpkin soup. Hastings MP Paul Mercurio used one of four A4 pages of his newsletter for a soup recipe. Yet, on the front page, he tells us that the past six months have been so busy he cannot fit it all in the flyer.
I’d argue that there are so many pressing things that could have been included - not just the feelgood ‘photo ops’ of morning teas, Tyabb Airfield show, and the announcement of a kindergarten site. For example, updates on: n Labor’s position on the VRET (Victorian Renewable Energy Terminal).
n The Latrobe Valley coal to hydrogen project for Japan to be shipped out of Hastings (HESC
PUZZLE ZONE
“We’re not sure how an extra ‘l’ made its way into the word ‘pavilion’ but the sign has already been corrected in plenty of time for the grand opening later this year.”
“We are extremely proud of our new $10 million sports pavilion, which will provide next level sporting facilities and serve our community well for many years to come.”
-Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain).
n The “progression” of the cross-peninsula bus service.
n The state releasing port zoned land (currently being jointly advocated for by the Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula).
n Local issues regarding unnecessary vegetation removal under state planning bushfire regulations.
n Urban planning problems, particularly heavy road transport through our villages.
Reassuringly though, Mr Mercurio states he is “happy to go in and advocate for what we need” and that “I am having fun”.
That’s a blessing, given it’s his well paid job. I might remind him that we pay for his electoratewide delivery of his glossy newsletter too.

Danger Zone at Oliver’s Hill - The Lady and the Suitcase
Compiled by Cameron McCullough
THE other day, a lady was walking along by the dangerous cutting at the top of Oliver’s Hill. There is no foot path at the danger-zone in question, and, moreover, the lady was carrying a suit case.
A fast-speeding motor car whizzed past the lady, and nearly knocked the satchel out of her hand.
The incident, naturally, caused her to experience an unpleasant shock to her nervous system.
Alternatively speaking, if the car had been a few inches more on the side of the portion of the road she was traversing it is obvious that a serious accident would have been recorded.
That a footpath be formed at the particular spot under review for the protection of pedestrians, has been strenuously advocated on numerous occasions, and at the June sitting of the Council, the vexed subject was again ventilated.
After discussion, it was finally resolved that Mr. Jones, the Shire Secretary communicate with the owners of certain land, asking, them to sell the required portion in order that the much-agitated for footpath could be made.
The Shire Secretary emphasised that the owners had already been approached on the matter but were adamant, or words to this effect.
Nevertheless, it was deemed imperative to have another shot at Messrs. Madden and Hills who, previously, had refused to budge from their decision not to grant the civic fathers their application to purchase the land for and on behalf of the public safety.
Now, an Englishman’s house is said to be his castle, but when an Australian squats on the King’s highway, he squats firmly and solidly for all time in his estimation, and that is the end of the section.
Of course, it is not to be inferred for a single moment that Messrs. Madden and Hills’ ancestors comfortably squatted in accordance with the easy-going procedure adopted by some far-seeing gentle men in the early days pertaining to the advent of a future great Commonwealth.
If they did that was their business, namely, to get in opportunely, and avoid the rush.
But it is the decreed business of the council to make sure of the true condition of affairs before plunging into the vortex of land ownership, and the rights there anent.
Recent inquiries at the Titles’ Office have elicited the information that the portion of land required for the purpose of a footpath belongs, virtually, to the Country Roads Board, and not to Messrs. Madden and Hill.
Thus, is presented a situation of circumstances absolutely Gilbertian in regard to its element of absurdity.
In other words, the civic fathers have instructed Mr. Jones, the Shire Secretary, who, we are credibly told, did not serve a, term to an Attorney’s firm, to ask Messrs. Madden and Hill to dispose of a piece, of land which does not belong to, them.
“Ye Gods and little fishes,”for a verity, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”
Mr. Jones, apparently, did not, in his youthful days, polish up, the handle on the big front door, otherwise he
might have probed, on behalf of the representatives of “John Citizen,” the strength of the title deeds connected with the portion of the land over, which he was instructed to effect a purchase.
It takes “The Standard” to find things out.
*** AS stated last week in our Seaford notes, Mr. A. Weatherley’s popular store in that ever-growing township, underwent alterations, and a new brick room is being built.
In addition, the residence of Mr. Weatherley was lowered seven feet, without in any way disturbing the occupants, who were able to fulfill household duties, under normal conditions, just as if nothing unusual was happening.
This circumstance was entirely due to the exploits of Cr. Wells, who has, in the past, won a meritorious reputation as a practical man, not only at the council table, but in other spheres besides.
The difficult work in question, was carried out under his careful supervision, with the able assistance of Messrs. H. Wells, A. Weatherley and B. Wells.

HASTINGS SEND-OFF TO CONSTABLE ADAMS
The town hall was crowded to its utmost holding capacity on Saturday evening last, the occasion being a social to say good-bye to Mr. and Mrs. Adams, who are now stationed at Macedon.
A very strong committee was formed by residents of Crib Point, Bittern, and Hastings.
The local ladies had the catering arrangements well in hand, and a splendid repast was provided.
Excellent music was supplied by Mr. W. Jones and Miss V. Romeo.
During the evening, attractive items were given, including a very pretty fancy dance by little Nellie Kearns, and comic selections by the ever popular Dan Hoban, both artists being well received.
Cr. D. E. Hoban (chairman) in a few well-chosen remarks, referred to the many sterling qualities of Constable Adams.
The president of the Shire Council, Cr. H. E. Unthank, was then called on to make the presentation, which took the form of a very nice Morocco wallet, well lined with notes.
In making the presentation, Cr. Unthank referred to the pleasure it gave him, in being present to do honor to so capable an officer as Constable Adams.
He wished him and his family the best of luck and good things in his new station.
Constable Adams in thanking the residents of Hastings and districts for their very valuable present and kind words of appreciation, said he did not know he had so many friends until he saw the gathering to bid him farewell.
IT is with a deep sense of regret that we have to record the death of Mrs. Emma Morgan, wife of Mr. Robert Morgan, and proprietress of the “De Luxe” Tea Rooms, Young Street, Frankston, which unexpectedly occurred, between the hours of 11pm and midnight on Wednesday last. For several weeks the deceased
had been a patient in Sister Campbell’s private hospital, Melbourne road, under the care of Dr. Hilliard Johnson, and only a week previous to her sad and sudden demise, the late Mrs. Morgan was reported to be making such excellent progress towards recovery that her many friends were looking forward to seeing her once again in her genial home circle.
As a matter of fact, the deceased, by reason of expert medical attention at the hands of Dr. Hilliard Johnson, and careful nursing by Sister Campbell, had been cured of the serious complaint (blood poisoning) from which she had suffered, but, as a natural consequence, the tissues of the heart were considerably weakened, and death supervened from heart failure with that degree of suddenness consequent upon the after effects of a painful illness.
The late Mrs. Morgan was well beloved by all, and her death came as a great shock to her relatives and friends.
The mother of the deceased is Mrs. Logan, of Melbourne road, who resides with her son, Mr. J. Logan there, a brother of the late Mrs. Morgan; Mrs. Petrie, of Frankston, being a sister.
To the bereaved widower, Mr. R. Morgan, and those left behind to mourn their sad loss, we extend our heartfelt sympathy.
The funeral, which took place this afternoon at the local cemetery, was largely attended.

Bulldogs close season with a win, Mt Eliza outlasts Sharks
MPNFL
By Brodie Cowburn
MEN'S DIV ONE
MT ELIZA came from behind to beat Sorrento in a thriller last weekend.
Sorrento managed the torrid conditions better in the first quarter, and got out to an early 10-point lead. The Sharks could’ve done even more damage - they kicked 2.5 in the first term. In the second quarter Mt Eliza wrestled back control. The Redlegs went into half-time ahead by two points. After another cagey quarter, Sorrento took back the lead. Heading into the final term the Sharks led by 11 points.
Sorrento could only add one more behind to their total in the last quarter. Mt Eliza capitalised, and went on to claim a hard-fought nine point win. The Redlegs beat the Sharks 5.10 (40) to 6.13 (49).
William Lamberty booted four goals for Mt Eliza. Fraser Phillips and Christopher Carey also played well.
The win kept Mt Eliza in second place. They remain behind ladder leaders Dromana - the Tigers comfortably beat Frankston Bombers away from home on Saturday. Mornington won a tight one against Langwarrin at Alexandra Park on Saturday. The Bulldogs scored the only goal of the last quarter to wrap up an 8.9 (57) to 8.7 (55) victory.
Frankston YCW beat Red Hill by 17 points on the road last weekend.
Pines closed out the round with a five point win over Rosebud at Eric Bell Reserve.
MEN'S DIV TWO
HASTINGS picked up their second win of the season last weekend.
Hastings hosted Karingal at home on Saturday. The Bulls were the better side early, and went into the half-time break with a two goal lead.
In the third quarter, Hastings made their move. They booted 4.10 to one behind, and established a 23 point lead. They managed to hold onto their lead in the last quarter and grab a hardfought win.
Hastings beat Karingal 10.18 (78) to 7.10 (52). Kade Foster was named best-on-ground for his four goal effort.
Ladder leaders Edithvale-Aspendale picked up their 14th win from 15 games on Saturday. They easily beat Bonbeach by 88 points.
Chelsea remain in third place after a 31 point win over Crib Point last weekend. They are equal on points with second-placed Devon Meadowsthe Panthers maintained their spot by beating Seaford by 44 points.
Rye also picked up their second win of 2024 on Saturday - the Demons beat Tyabb by 35 points at Bunguyan Reserve. Somerville closed out the round with a big 10-goal win against
Pearcedale.
WOMEN'S DIV ONE
MORNINGTON Blue wrapped up top spot with a win over Seaford at RF Miles Reserve last weekend.
Although all finals sports were locked up heading into the final round of the MPFNL Women’s Division One season, the top spot on the ladder was still up in the air. Warragul Industrials moved into first place after a 55 point win over Karingal earlier in the day on Saturday, meaning Mornington had to beat Seaford to claim back their top position.
After a tight first quarter, Mornington put their foot on the gas in the second term. They led by 38 points at halftime, which proved to be an unassailable lead.
Mornington Blue went on to win 3.0 (18) to 10.7 (67). Elizabeth Muir scored three goals for the Bulldogs, and Eliza Snehotta and Indi Toledo Glasman each scored two.
Frankston will head into the finals series with plenty of momentum after a thumping win over Pearcedale. The Dolphins smashed Pearcedale 11.10 (76) to 0 at Kinetic Stadium on Friday night.
Mornington Blue, Warragul Industrials, Seaford, and Frankston made up the final top four.

Stinson blow as Baxter digs deep
SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie
CHELSEA blew a great chance to continue its promotion push when it couldn’t beat 10-man Baxter in Saturday’s feisty State 4 South derby at Edithvale Recreation Reserve.
The 1-1 scoreline reflects the persistence and commitment of Baxter despite facing an uphill battle after Brodie McMinimee was cautioned twice for dissent in the 23rd minute and sent off. In dreadful weather conditions that washed out two other games featuring local sides it took until the 65th minute of this clash for the deadlock to be broken.
Chelsea striker Piers Brelsford came out of retirement last week and couldn’t have timed his comeback any better.
In the 65th minute with the ball toing and froing in front of the Baxter goal a blocked header and blocked shot ended with Brelsford getting a touch from point-blank range and Baxter had a mountain to climb.
But climb it did and the man who represented the greatest threat to the home side was on the spot in the 85th minute to grab a point for the visitors.
Fijian international Anish Khem has been in fine scoring form recently and he got free inside the area to effect a glancing header from a Declan Seca free-kick for the equaliser.
Brelsford’s return was timely in more ways than one.
Chelsea talisman and league leading scorer James Stinson watched this one from the sidelines in a moon boot and crutches due to an ankle ligaments injury.
It’s believed that the Stinson camp contacted strength and conditioning guru Kosta Drakoulakos for a prognosis and was told that Stinson would likely be sidelined for the remainder of the season.
That’s not the view of Chelsea’s coaching staff who believe that he could be available for the last two games against Sandown Lions and Springvale City which are both away fixtures.
Stinson will spend most of August in the UK visiting family and friends.
Saturday’s game also marked the end of Aaran Currie’s retirement and the Baxter striker was a welcome addition to the matchday squad.
Somerville Eagles hosted Sandown Lions in a nine-goal thriller last weekend with the home side coming off second best in a 5-4 scoreline.
Marcus Anastasiou, Alessio Izzo, Max Watson and an own goal from a Sandown defender hit the mark for the Eagles.
Mentone was forced to switch its home game against Hampton Park United from Keysborough to Ross Reserve in Springvale but the promotion-chasing visitors edged out their opponent 1-0.
In VPL1 news Langwarrin lost 4-1 away to Melbourne Victory in a controversial clash that saw Langy defender Luke Adams and keeper Griffin Bambach both red carded and ended with Langy captain Rogan McGeorge in goal as the visitors had used up their substitutes when Bambach saw red.
The Langwarrin coaching staff refused to comment after the match on the display of referee William Quartermain but it’s a safe bet that the match official won’t be invited to the club’s annual Christmas festivities.
Archie Macphee scored for Langy and now is one goal clear in the race for league Golden Boot honours.
In State 1 news Mornington lost 1-0 away to Malvern City last weekend and is battling with Brandon Park and Gippsland United to push clear of the relegation zone.
Mornington had a gilt-edged chance of taking the lead against Malvern but Jack Kimber missed the penalty he had earned in the 23rd minute.
Ten minutes later the telling blow was struck when Jai Ingham didn’t miss his chance to convert from the spot.
Mornington blew a number of chances to level in the second half and now faces a crucial away game against bottom team Casey Comets on Saturday.
Comets effected one of the season’s upsets when downing the Seagulls 2-1 at Dallas Brooks Park in May.
In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers stayed in the promotion hunt with Sunday’s 3-0 home win over North Caulfield.
Tom Wood, Justin Eiman and Campbell Steedman scored.
Skye United’s away game with Berwick City last weekend was called off when Jack Thomas Reserve was ruled unplayable.
Last week Stuart Lawrence resigned as vicepresident of Skye after 10 years’ service.
The reason given for Lawrence’s decision was a need to concentrate fully on his coaching role with the club’s women’s program.
In State 3 South-East news Football Victoria’s competitions department confirmed last week that despite being an 11-team competition –when 12 teams are the norm throughout State Leagues – there still will be two teams relegated at the end of the season.
That makes Frankston Pines’ task of avoiding the drop even harder as the bottom-placed Pines are now eight points behind third-last White Star Dandenong.
At Monterey Reserve on Friday night Pines lost 2-0 to league leader St Kilda.
There are six games remaining and in the run home Pines face four teams currently in the top half of the table.
In State 5 news Rosebud’s unbeaten run throughout the season ended with Saturday’s 4-2 away loss to Bunyip District.
Rosebud started well and led after 10 minutes with Caleb Davies getting the first of two goals on the night, breaking the lines on the left-hand side with a great finish.
Rosebud had gone in to this clash without Billy Painting who is overseas and the suspended duo of Doug Cunnison and Jacob Bigg who have all been mainstays this season.
Bunyip stepped up the pressure and was aided by poor defending from the visitors’ makeshift backline.
The home side took full advantage with a well-worked equaliser from Tristan Durovic then hit the front in the 32nd minute through Mark Comini’s volley from outside the area.
Things didn’t get better for the visitors in the second half and two superb Comini goals gave Rosebud keeper Colin McCormack no chance and completed an impressive hat-trick for the home side striker.
With 25 minutes left Rosebud was given a lifeline with Davies now operating on the right finishing well with a shot in off the far post.
Chances then came Rosebud's way first with a Ben Symonds strike hitting the bar then with the goal at his mercy substitute Frank Barrett somehow managed to head over from close range.
But Bunyip held firm and Rosebud’s lead at the top of the table had been cut to three points.
Seaford United’s 5-1 away win over Pakenham United on Saturday has Paul Williams’ side in third place in the league a point ahead of Aspendale.
Pakenham led early when a deflected shot beat Bayleigh Caulfield at his near post but minutes later Backy Barakzoi put Josh Vega through and his composed finish made it 1-1.
Two goals from Naseer Mohammad had Sea-
ford in control by half-time his first thanks to a pinpoint Vega cross to the back post and the second from a long kick downfield by Caulfield that was flicked on by Cory Osorio for Mohammad to round Pakenham keeper Daniel Gray and make no mistake.
Seaford dominated the second half and Mohammad completed his hat-trick in the 64th minute after Blake Hicks skinned two opponents then put his teammate through for a finish in between Gray’s legs.
An own goal from an attempted interception of another Hicks’ through ball to Mohammad completed the rout.
Aspendale’s 4-2 away win over Mount Martha on Saturday sees it in fourth spot on the ladder with the best goal difference in the league.
The win in cold and wet conditions was a tonic for Aspendale head coach Gregor Macnab who returned from a trip to the UK the night before this clash.
But the home side got out of the blocks quickly with Marcus Poda capitalising on Aspendale’s failure to clear and striking his shot through a mass of players inside the area in the 13th minute.
Five minutes later David Jones made Aspendale pay for a defensive blunder and it was 2-0 for the Mariners.
In the 35th minute the visitors responded when Ollie Clark headed home a James Macnab corner and just before half-time Koray Yildirim was on the end of Felix Hampson’s chip into the box and his looping header beat Mount Martha keeper Derren Elliott for the equaliser.
Hampson struck twice in the second half to end the home side’s resistance his first coming when he headed in from another Macnab corner and the second when he was given too much time outside the area to line up a shot that rocketed past Elliott to complete the scoreline.
Mount Eliza’s away fixture against Barton United was washed out.
