noon it’d been there for a few hours. “Someone should have been there. “My landlord did what she felt was the most responsible and safest thing for her tenant.” That was to remove the tree at a cost of $700. Ms Moore said she spoke to someone at the council and was told that ‘someone rang up on the Monday at lunch time but because they didn’t say it was urgent we didn’t worry about it’. “Did they expect everybody in those two houses to just climb over that tree to get in and out? “It’s only going to cost less than $700 to pay the landlord for her inconvenience.

“She’s a ratepayer. “All they did was threaten us with legal action.” City of Casey city presentation manager David Richardson said contractors were asked to respond as soon as the issue was reported to the council. “Before this could happen, the land holder chose to take matters into their own hands, resulting in a significant cost to them,” he said. “It is vital in these circumstances residents allow the council to assess the scene and take appropriate action.” “The council will immediately attend to all imminent threats to safety posed by trees.”

An Endeavour Hills landlord is chasing cash from Casey council after removing a fallen tree that was blocking driveways. But the City of Casey said it didn’t get a chance to respond to the call for assistance and is now refusing to reimburse the cost. Sandy Moore from Platinum Real Estate said the tree - which was planted on council property fell in Nash Court, Endeavour Hills, on the morning of 30 October last year. It was Melbourne Cup Eve. Her tenants came into her office in the after-

noon to report the incident and showed her photos. “It just missed him and his car. He said it scared him,” she said. Ms Moore said the tree was blocking a walkway that linked two streets as well as the driveways. “Someone in the neighbourhood rang the council when the tree did fall and reported that the 20-odd foot tree had fallen down,” she said. “No one could get in or out of their houses and no one could get through because this tree was blocking everything. “When my tenants came into me in the after12325562-HM41-16

Magic of thinking big pays off By Casey Neill “Everything that I was rejected for is now everything they accept me for.” Illusionist Cosentino urged about 200 Keysborough College Year 9 and 10 students to stay true to themselves, even if they were considered ‘different’. “I was constantly trying to adjust and change and fit the moulds and fit the trends,” he said. He’s now one of the most successful magicians in the world. Cosentino returned to his roots for the speaking spot and performance on Monday 27 March, having grown up in Dandenong North, Lysterfield and Endeavour Hills. He told the students that he read his first words at age 12. The delay was put down to “learning difficulties”. A magic book he discovered in a Casey library helped him to overcome those difficulties. His mum, a school principal, read instructions for performing the magic tricks aloud and demonstrated the instructions. “It wasn’t just listening to a story anymore, it was applying it,” Cosentino said. His confidence grew as his reading skills - and magic skills - improved. “I became obsessed by it,” he said. “Magic became my life. “It allowed me to be creative.” And he had to be creative to make a career from the craft. Cosentino finished Year 12 with an ATAR score of 90 and was accepted into a Bachelor of Business majoring in marketing at Monash University. He took an enduring leave of absence

after a year of study to pursue his passion. But there were no magic schools or teachers, and no one’s footsteps to follow in. “I had to create my own path because there was no path, there was no blueprint,” he said. He said the jobs the students would have in the future weren’t even created yet. “The only way we can get you prepared is to teach you to be creative, to think outside the box, to solve problems,” he said. Cosentino comes up with an idea for a trick and works backwards through the steps he’ll need to achieve the outcome he’s after. “Dream big and then work backwards,” he said. He spent 15 years trying to establish a career. He was told he didn’t have the right look, that magic wasn’t popular. Australia’s Got Talent producers had been asking Cosentino to appear on the Channel 7 show, but he’d been turning down the offer because he worried about how he’d be presented. In 2011 he accepted on the grounds that his successes and failures would both make the cut. “It was out of sheer desperation that I decided to do Australia’s Got Talent,” he said. “That’s when you get the longest lasting change if you can channel it positively.” He made the top two and leveraged off his exposure to millions of people. He successfully pitched television shows the networks had turned down earlier. “People’s perceptions had changed,” he said. “It was as if everyone caught up.” “I think about where I would be if mum hadn’t read that magic book to me.”

Home invasion capital By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey has been confirmed the home-invasion capital of Victoria for 2016, according to official crime statistics. But Victoria Police, emboldened by a dent in crime rates in recent months, say “the worst is behind us“. In 2016, there were 370 aggravated burglaries in Casey - more than one a day and comfortably the highest of any municipality in Melbourne according to statistics reported on Nine News. It was nearly double the total of 199 aggravated burglaries in 2015. Acting Superintendent Simon Humphrey, who oversees Victoria Police south-east region, said police had been “working harder than ever” in arresting twice as many home-invasion offenders in 2016 compared to 2014. “Over the last four or five months, overall

crime rates have been reducing, and while we acknowledge we still have a lot of work to do, we feel that the worst is behind us.” Act Supt Humphrey said the “predominantly youth networked” offenders responsible for most of the home invasions were being targeted by the police’s Southern Metro Regional Crime Team. More of those arrested were also being remanded in custody, Acting Supt Humphrey said. The Southern Metro Regional Crime Team undertook “proactive policing in high risk areas” and “managing persons of interest” as well as working with counterparts in other regions of Melbourne. “We aren’t just trying to react to the crime when it occurs - we have a range of initiatives underway to try and get on top of it before it occurs. “Outside of policing the problem, we are engaging with the community and stakeholders on what we can do to stop these young people offending in the first place.”

In the latest police figures, assaults - up 21 per cent, burglaries - up 32 per cent, and thefts - up 18 per cent - soared significantly in 2016. Acting Supt Humphrey said the police’s “proactive burglary investigation teams” operated in areas of known burglaries, but still many occurred due to home’s doors and windows being left unlocked. The exploding crime rate was also partly attributed to Casey’s soaring population. “Areas that were open paddocks just a few years ago are now full of houses and as the population increases unfortunately so does the opportunity for crimes to be committed.” Rick Maaskant, who was stabbed with a pitchfork by intruders in his Hampton Park home in March, says the current law-and-order approach isn’t working. He has been burgled six times, had five cars, his wallet and TV remote stolen.

Cancer walk with a twist funds research into disease

In Brief Help catch sex pest A woman stood up to her attackers before seeking help, following an alleged sexual assault in Dandenong. She crossed paths with a group of men of African appearance while walking through Moysey Lane, Dandenong, on Thursday Police are 23 March. searching for this As the victim passed the man. group, one man doubled back and grabbed her genital area. The victim confronted the group before turning around, walking to Dandenong Railway Station and reporting the incident to PSOs. Her alleged attacker was wearing a black cap turned backwards, a black zip-up hoodie and light-coloured jeans with thongs.

Maxx savings on way

By Victoria Stone-Meadows A Narre Warren South woman will be walking 200 kilometres over 10 days to raise money for research into all different types of cancer. Janet Halsall has been raising money for the Cancer Council through the Relay for Life for almost 10 years, but has decided to do something a little different. Each day of the walk will be devoted to a different type of cancer, and Ms Halsall is hoping to raise about $30,000 for cancer research. Ms Halsall decided to embark on this massive journey after being inspired by Federal Minister for Health Greg Hunt. “I joined Greg Hunt some years ago when he was doing a 500 kilometre walk around his electorate,” Ms Halsall said. “He does that every few years for a different charity each time, and I went out and did that in 2015, I thought it was a great idea, a real bringing together of the community.” Ms Halsall said she was a little over the hill to manage a 500 kilometre walk, and added 200 kilometres was a bit more realistic. “I will be walking around the City of Casey, not exactly travelling sequentially,” she said. “Each day there will be a community gathering and the location of the gathering determine where I end up at lunchtime each day.” While the main focus of the walk is to fundraise, Ms Halsall said there was also the aim of bringing the community together and sharing in each other’s experiences. “The main idea is to catch up with the community along the way at those events to hear from

European retailer TK Maxx is opening its doors in Dandenong. It will replace the Trade Secret store in Dandenong Plaza and will stock designer handbags, fashion for women, men and kids, toys, luggage, cosmetics, shoes and home wares. There’ll be opening day celebrations from 9am on Thursday 20 April. “We buy throughout the year, rather than seasonally, and close to need,” spokeswoman Tessa Buenen said. “So when a designer overproduces or other stores overbuy, we swoop in, negotiate the lowest possible price, and pass the savings on.” TK Maxx Dandenong is one of 35 Trade Secret stores being converted and re-opened throughout April and May. There are more than 500 TK Maxx stores in six European countries.

The walk will take Ms Halsall to 25 suburbs in Casey from Cranbourne South to Lysterfield, and she hoped people would join her along the way. Janet Halsall’s Casey Walk for a Cure will begin

Elite China crew jetsets off - from Casey to Sichuan By Cam Lucadou-Wells Casey mayor Sam Aziz says he’ll make “no apologies” for City of Casey’s ‘economic partnership’ delegation which has flown out for a week’s tour of China. Cr Aziz, Cr Wayne Smith and two council officers flew out for their trip to Sichuan province and Shanghai on 4 April.

They are expected to return to Melbourne on 11 April. The delegation’s mission was to attract jobs and investment to Casey-Cardinia, Cr Aziz said. It also wanted to forge a long-term economic agreement with a Chinese council, city or region. “By sitting across a table with Chinese authorities, Casey will have the best chance of identifying opportunities to create trade and economic devel-

Police impounded a probationary driver’s car after allegedly clocking him travelling at 167kmh in Bangholme. State Highway Patrol members were conducting speed checks on Thompson Road, between Worsley and Rossiter Roads, when they detected a Mazda 3 travelling at more than double the 80km limit at 3.20pm on Thursday 6 April. They pulled over the 21-year-old Patterson Lakes man. He’ll be without his car for 30 days and will have to pay $997 for the privilege. He is expected to be charged on summons with driving at a dangerous speed and exceeding the speed limit.

opment, leading to jobs.” “While it will take some time to realise the benefits of the economic partnership delegation, I’m convinced it will reap the rewards for our city. “I make no apologies for being ambitious. Sitting on our hands at home is not an option.” Among the party’s stops are Dujiangyan Irrigation System, Xujia vegetable farm, and an industrial park.

Police seized drugs and ammunition from a Dandenong North home. On Thursday 30 March, the Frontline Tactical Unit executed a search warrant at the property and confiscated ice, cannabis, GHB and stolen goods including a motorbike and ammunition. They arrested and charged a 35-year-old Dandenong North man who was remanded in custody, and two women who were released on

Looking Back

Compiled by Dandenong and District Historical Society

100 years ago 12 April 1917 Red Cross Workers On Wednesday evening, 4th, a meeting was held in the council chamber, town hall, for the purpose of discussing ways and means for raising funds to carry on the work of the Dandenong Red Cross Society. The president of the shire, Cr Burden, occupied the chair. It was agreed to hold a bazaar, or carnival, and delegates from local bodies are to be invited to appoint delegates to a meeting to be held on an early date, to which all interested are invited.

50 years ago 13 April 1967 They saw the “monster” Four men on a rabbit shoot at Glen Forben

near Wonthaggi last weekend sighted a strange animal which has become known as the “Wonthaggi Monster” since it was first sighted near Wonthaggi three years ago. The men, Alf Hall of Springvale North, Johnny and Anthony Kirkwood of Devon Meadows, and Paul Debons of Springvale, sighted the animal at about 6.45am on Saturday. They say it was about the size of a greyhound but more heavily built, with a whitish body with dark stripes and patches across its back and around its head. They described the head as being round and like a cat’s head, and the tail as being bushy, but not really like a fox’s tail. This description tallies with that of the 30 others given by people who claim to have seen this monster. All who have sighted it are emphatic that there is an odd animal in the district.

people of diverse nationalities. He said it gave him the encouragement to “pitch in and give it a go!”.

20 years ago 14 April 1997 Jack of all trades When Andre Tomaselli came to Australia two years ago from his native Trento in Italy, he could speak little English. With the help of a four-month migrant adult education course and burning ambition, Andre now speaks English fluently. Andre attended a small business management course conducted by Mrs Nina Koufomanolis at the adult migrant education services, Dandenong Centre, Kirkham Road. The entrepreneur, with two other partners, has started a business in Doveton designing and creating original furniture in collaboration with architects and interior designers. Andre said he found the small business management course “helpful, rewarding, and informative” and it paved the way to getting to know a number of talented and ambitious

5 years ago 9 April 2012 Bump and grind Greater Dandenong is overflowing with senior sides. Roy Ward asks whether the area has too many football clubs. At last count Greater Dandenong has 13 senior football clubs either within its boundaries or on its borders. That’s 13 club presidents, 13 committees, 13 senior coaches and, in most cases, the need for upwards of 44 players each weekend. And that’s before clubs try to find the numerous volunteers needed to raise funds, wash jumpers, cut oranges, and do any number of other jobs.

Adventures hit a high watermark The late Jack Johnson was the author of When the Clock Strikes, a fascinating account of growing up in Dandenong, his years tending to the city’s pipes and drains as a plumber and bringing up a family with wife Frances in their beloved home in Macpherson Street. To try and ease the flooding that regularly occurred, a deep channel had been dug alongside the lowest section of Heatherton Road near Dandenong Creek. This worked well for normal rainfalls, but after sustained rain in the Dandenong Ranges and Police Paddocks, it took several days for the Dandenong Creek and the surrounding flatland waters to reach their peak. When at their peak, floodwaters formed a sea from Police Road across Stud Road, across to and over Heatherton Road and around the base of the hill to the ends of Ross and David streets, which

JACK LOOKS

BACK JACK JOHNSON both bordered the back of the first Ordish clay pits. Floodwaters reached through the swampy titree to Power Street, over Kidds Road and around the flat land that became Besley Gardens, to the St John’s school sportsground, to the Booth Reserve and what is today Myuna Farm, before it continued on towards the Carrum swamp. Floodwaters lapped the lower reaches of the rise on which The Grange homestead stood. When we could borrow enough pushbikes we

would go rabbiting out to the Police Paddocks with our dogs. During the winter when we left home early in the morning, the water along the flat stretch of Heatherton Road would only be about a foot deep and level with the wooden planks of the old bridge. But when we were coming home late in the day it could be bloody scary. On this particular day the water had risen to the middle of the bridge. We were always frightened that some of the loose planks may have washed off the bridge and we would fall into the strong current. When the barbed wire fences and the ti-tree scrub along the roadside were submerged, it was hard to know where those deep roadside channels were and we knew we could be trapped in them as well as snagged by the fencing wire. The gravel roadway butting up to the bridge was narrow and any bitumen laid was constantly

washed away by flooding, leaving deep pot holes. We had just ridden our bikes down the hill from a paddock between the top boundary of Essex Park farm and Chalcot Lodge farm on the unmade section of Power Road into the Police Paddocks. When we got to the bottom of the hill on Heatherton Road it was almost dusk, and when we saw how much the water had risen, the Kid, being the youngest and smallest of the group, said: “Shit! I’m not goin’ through that, it will be over my bloody head. I’m goin’ back up the hill and goin’ home along Power Road and Kidds Road. “If it’s this high here it will be much bloody worse at the flat section of Kidds Road and that bridge,” said Murph. “Don’t go that way,” I said. “That flat section of Power Road near the abattoirs will be awash.” – To be continued in the next Jack Looks Back.

Book bares VC valour By Cam Lucadou-Wells It was like meeting military royalty in the vaunted vaults of the Shrine of Remembrance on 22 March. At a fund-raising night for Berwick author Michael Madden’s ambitious book project The Victoria Cross: Australia Remembers, the crimsonribboned VC featured prominently both on page, canvas and gleaming in replica. Mr Madden’s grandly designed book will recognise Australia’s 100 VC recipients, telling the story of the people behind the medal and their extraordinary acts of valour. One of his interviewees was Doug Baird, father of the late Corporal Cameron Baird - who was posthumously awarded Australia’s 100th Victoria Cross in 2014. At the night, a proud Mr Baird said it was important to promote Mr Madden’s book for its educational value for younger generations. “It’s showing them the people who have done extraordinary things for our country. They are prepared to sacrifice their life for what they believe in.” Mr Baird is determined to continue his son’s good work, which included numerous fund-raising deeds for charity. He spruiks a charity Cam’s Cause - formed by former teachers and school friends of his son. It raises funds to support the Commando Welfare Trust and supports returned servicepeople in his son’s 2nd Commando Regiment. The charity has adopted Corporal Baird’s motto ‘Aspire to Inspire’. Funds go towards accommodation and equipment such as fishing rods and surfboards at wellness camps for returned Australian commandos. It also provides professional help at the camps. Mr Baird was planning a trip to visit homeless ex-soldiers on the banks of the Murray River in coming days. “When we think of the homeless, it’s amazing that these include ex-soldiers in far-flung areas of Australia living in squalor and on river banks. “Some of these guys can be on the aggro side,

Help to find missing girl Police are searching for a teenage girl who was last seen in Noble Park. They’re appealing for public help to find 14-year old Myrah Fitzgerald, who’s been missing since Thursday 30 March. She is perceived to be Caucasian and has a slim build, shoulder length black hair and is about 150 centimetres tall. Myrah is known to frequent Dandenong, Frankston, Caulfield and the surrounding areas. It is believed Myrah might be with her mother Kathleen Fitzgerald. Police have released an image of Myrah in the hope that someone might have information on her current whereabouts. Call Mornington police station on 5970 4900 with any information.

Acclaimed artist George Petrou was there, flanked by his vibrant portraits of prominent Australian servicemen. The portraits included VC recipients Keith Payne, Cameron Baird and Albert Jacka. Faye Axford, of Endeavour Hills, attended after reading a recent story on Mr Madden’s book in Star News. Ms Axford has rare bloodlines as a relative to two Australian VC recipients - great-niece of Thomas Axford and great-niece by marriage to Albert Jacka.

She has recently been interviewed for Mr Madden’s book to talk about her heroic ancestors. On 22 March, an overcome Ms Axford was presented with replicas of her great-uncle Thomas’ medals by Mr Madden, and chatted at length with Mr Payne - who knew her illustrious ancestor well. Next year, she plans to tour Le Hamel, in Somme, the scene of Lance Corporal Axford’s awarded heroism, exactly 100 years after the event. “I’m just so proud to be an Axford,” she said. Also at the event, journalist Ross Coulthard at length retold the story of discovering the significant WWI photographic portraits of the ‘Lost Diggers of Vignacourt’ in a French village attic. Anyone who can help with information for Michael Madden’s book, can call him on 0418 900 204 or email michael@berwickmilitarymedals. com.au.

Thousands a fare throng to dance, shop and eat More than 38,000 people dined, danced and shopped through the Dandenong Market World Fare. The annual event’s sixth incarnation on Sunday 2 April featured about 50 food truck and street food vendors alongside live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities and carnival rides. Nations represented in the day’s culinary offerings included Brazil, Uruguay, Cambodia, New Zealand, Belgium, Vietnam, Nepal, Spain, Argentina, India, Sri Lanka, Japan, Cyprus and Mexico. The World Fare was part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.

In Brief

Carjackers strike at servo Knife-wielding carjackers targeted a man rolling a cigarette at a Dandenong service station. The victim had just filled up his vehicle at the 7-Eleven on Clow Street about 11.30pm on Saturday 7 January. He’d pulled over to roll the cigarette when four men approached. One had a knife and demanded the victim get out of his vehicle, a red 2005 Ford Falcon sedan, and hand over the keys. The victim complied and the men drove off. He described them as having accents and appearing to be of Islander origin. He said they were wearing sunglasses and dark clothing. Police later recovered the car in Cranbourne.

Wallet stolen at knifepoint A knife-wielding bandit robbed a man of his wallet outside a Noble Park home. Police said the incident occurred in Noble Street about 11pm on Wednesday 29 March. A Caucasian man armed with a knife demanded his wallet and money and then fled north along Allan Street. The victim said the man was aged in his early forties, had a medium build and was wearing a black scarf or balaclava over his face, a dark blue raincoat jacket and jeans.

Front door punch Answering a knock at his front door left a Dandenong man with cuts to his face. Police said the victim was drinking in his Clow Street home with a friend when he heard the knock about 1am on Friday 31 March. He opened the door to find three men of African appearance. They pushed him into the house and punched him to the head, causing a small laceration to his forehead and minor cuts to his upper lip. The trio then left the premises. Police said one of the three men may have been an acquaintance of the victim’s friend but police had not arrested anyone over the incident. Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

HOME & GARDEN GUIDE

Run up to Easter, it’s fish all over After hot cross buns and chocolate, the food most closely associated with Easter is fish. Traditionally meat is not to be consumed on Good Friday, and many families still forego meat for fresh seafood such as cod, salmon and prawns. One of the best places to buy seafood in the region is the Dandenong Market. The Ganotis family run the popular Hellenic Fish Market stall. They expect the week before Easter to be one of their busiest of the year. Dimitri Ganotis said all types of seafood are popular at Easter. “During the Lenten period of fasting, many strict Christians and Greek Orthodox prefer to eat fish with no blood,” Dimitri said.

“Popular seafood includes calamari, squid, cuttlefish, prawns, scallops, crustaceans. However, during Holy Week and particularly Good Friday, any type of fish is popular.” Dimitri’s sister Adriana said that a variety of fish and crustaceans would be available in the lead up to Easter, however there were currently shortages on prawns, oysters and salmon which had driven prices up. “Prices will vary over the Easter period,” she said. “Prices can range from $20 to $35 a kilogram. Prawns, however, are currently $45 a kilo and will likely go up in price to around the $50 a kilo mark.”

HOME & GARDEN GUIDE

Creating a tropical style garden By Rebecca Skilton Stepping into Daniel Charles’ Berwick backyard is like transporting yourself to Bali for that tropical holiday you’ve always dreamed of. With lush lawns, trickling water features and a Balinese-style hut and bar, Daniel’s garden will leave any visitor in awe. “It was all native, and there were lilly pillies around the whole perimeter of the house ... the grass was a metre high,” Daniel explained. “I didn’t look at the house, I really didn’t care about the house, I was straight out the back door and I saw the potential.”

But there’s an art in making the impossible possible. “I call it more a “tropical style” garden,” Daniel explained. “So you’re growing plants that have the same look (as those in the tropics), but they’re plants that will survive down here in Melbourne.” Among those Melbourne-proof plants in Daniel’s garden include the abyssinian banana, giant bird of paradise, bungalow palms, honey bush plant and the lively coloured cordyline, who each work to give Daniel’s garden that fresh tropical look. In order to create a successful tropical paradise, Daniel stresses the importance of creating a

microclimate. For Melburnians looking for their slice of the tropics, a microclimate is all about creating a tropical climate restricted to the area of their garden. While the bulk of Daniel’s garden took roughly six months to establish, he admits that although the last few years he’s slowed down, he’s still continuing to add to his garden of over 400 plants. “I’ve crammed a lot in for (the garden size);” Daniel confessed. “But I love that fullness. I’ve got water features out there, and you hear them running, but you’ve actually go to look for them Hidden within the Charles’ rainforest is Daniel’s personal to see them ... that’s what it’s about.” Balinese-style hut and bar.

POLICIES WILL HEAT AN ALREADY BOILING MARKET HOME BUYERS

GUIDE

MAT SUCKLING DIRECTOR OF RMS HOMES Ideally, I would have begun my first formal guide like this; the hows, whys, whats, wheres and whos of home buying! Considering the issues facing home buyers, I believe it pertinent to discuss some other topics which are affecting home buyers. Affordability. It is the enemy of first, second, and third home buyers. Most people across Melbourne are finding their money is getting them less than what it used to. In order to assist those struggling to save enough for deposits lobby groups, consumer groups and government representatives are considering possible solutions to the ‘affordability crisis’. I believe the responses from government are reactionary and not well thought through. To be honest, I think they will continue to heat an already boiling market. I will explain why they are not only ineffective, but also dangerous to the economy. Stamp duty – as of 1 July, all first home buyers, whether buying an established home or a house and land package (to the value of $600,000) will not have to pay stamp duty. Previously, first home buyers received a 50 per cent reduction. The excitement generated has led to some of our competitors using it as motivation in their latest marketing. Less stamp duty equals less upfront costs for a home buyer; that has to be good, right? I believe it will continue to drive up prices, especially land prices. The basic rules of economics are; - When supply is high – demand is low (in this case, prices go down).

- When supply is low – demand is high (in this case, prices go up). This stamp duty policy is going to encourage developers to raise land prices, not drop them, as demand for land is going to surge beyond its already ridiculous levels. Anyone who has been shopping for affordable land across Melbourne is finding it difficult, with most blocks having title dates of mid to late 2018! With wage growth not matching inflation, the issue of serviceability becomes an issue when land prices are increasing at the rate they are currently. What is the point of buying a block of land at X dollars, when you won’t be able to afford the house you want due to banks’ serviceability requirements! Home start finance initiatives (government sponsored lending programs) have been a successful option for low deposit home buyers in both South Australia and Western Australia. They provide people wanting to buy a home who have the capacity to service the repayments an opportunity to purchase via sharing an equity stake with the buyer. In order to be successful these programs rely heavily on the property value increasing, allowing the government sponsored program to recoup their monies at a profit when the home is sold. The buyer also pays a portion of their home loan repayment in interest to the government sponsored lender. I can hear many of you say “With the expenses I have, it is so hard to save a deposit. Mat, you are supposed to help us home buyers, why are you so negative when it comes to a program such as this?” There are two things we need to observe about Western Australia and South Australia. Both economies are in need of a kick start – unemployment in South Australia is high, and Western Australia is still recovering from the end of the mining boom. House prices in Western Australia have actually gone down in the past 18

months, leading it to become the most affordable state for first home buyers! The risk of the property market heating in these states is low – these initiatives stimulate the construction and development economy. We don’t have these issues in Melbourne. And like the stamp duty exemption, such a government incentivised program will only encourage developers to raise prices if more people are able to purchase property! The global financial crisis that started in America was caused by two things; 1. Government sponsored lending programs; and 2. Reckless bank policies which allowed low income earners with zero deposits to buy houses they couldn’t afford. The interference of government on financial policy creates more harm than good. It encourages developers to be greedy. Unfortunately, it is often that the underprivileged are misled and taken advantage of. Not everyone can afford mortgage repayments, whether it is due to existing credit circumstances or current work situation (part-time, casual or made redundant). There is a minimum standard that must be adhered to before a home buyer can be eligible to purchase a home. At RMS, we call it being financially fit. Via our numerous home buyer programs, we support all types of buyers from all types of circumstances get in a position where they become financially ‘fit’ to meet the demands of the lending requirements. So, after all that doom and gloom, do I have a solution to the affordability problem? 1. The first home owners grant and stamp duty concessions should be means tested. The degree to which buyers are eligible for these grants and concessions should be tested on a case by case basis. It is unfair and a waste of tax payer dollars for someone who already has a sizeable deposit (more than 10 per cent or has the

capacity via mum and dad) to receive the same concession as someone who has a five per cent deposit. 2. Place rules on developers pre-releasing land, and price cap land lots in greenfield land estates. Developers can’t pre-release stock quick enough to the market. Some estates are requiring depositors to register for ballots that may get them a block of land that is over 12 months away from title! Anyone lucky enough to receive a block avoids the dreaded ballot for the next stage, where usually prices will continue to rise only to live 50 metres down the road from the first release of land. This is driven by expression of interest and the amount of registered buyers. The scarcity of land availability driven by demand will only continue to drive prices up. If developers are required to release the bulk of their land within a certain timeframe when titles are due, we will see more stock on the market which will ideally give buyers freedom of choice. This freedom of choice will cool demand (as a result of a greater supply) and provide price relief for buyers looking for house and land packages. 3. Make building easier! Governments make it hard for developers to subdivide land, and for builders to build on land. The regulations and codes that must be followed and adhered to slow land releases and building approvals. It has never been harder to buy and build homes. The government (both local, state and federal) can incentivise buyers by making the development and building process easier – deregulate! This will allow quicker land releases, quicker building approvals, and less holding costs for both developers, builders and buyers. The only firms that get rich from lag times are government departments and banks!

BUSINESS SOUTH-EAST

Jobs aren’t connecting with kids By Casey Neill Jobs and unemployed youth aren’t matching up in Greater Dandenong. A SEBN Industry Breakfast at Highways in Springvale on Thursday 6 April looked at why. STREAT founder Rebecca Scott said young people wanted to feel like the organisation they worked for stood for something. “And young people trust their peers more than they trust authority,” she said. STREAT is a social enterprise that offers employment and training to youths in need, founded in 2009. Ms Scott has spent the past eight years working with young people fresh from juvenile detention, battling mental health and addiction issues, and sleeping rough. She urged businesses to link young employees with a mentor close to their age. She said today’s workers would have 13 different careers in their lifetime, but often returned to

an employer down the track. “Don’t underestimate instilling skills in the hope they’ll come back,” she said. Sajda Yakub is studying a bachelor of law, commerce and arts with a double major in sociology and journalism. Now in her fourth year, she started volunteering during her first with Amnesty International and Muslim Legal Network. Her long hours and dedication weren’t enough to open doors at legal firms. They all wanted experience but no one was willing to give her the chance to get it. She urged the businesspeople in the room to take volunteering into account when assessing an applicant’s experience. Ms Yakub also urged them to “reject gently” because self-doubt stuck, write job advertisements with young applicants in mind and offer buddy programs to guide younger workers. Entry level and part-time positions should be easier to access, she said. “We are raw and we want experienced mentors

to flesh out our passions,” she said. SEBN manager Sandra George said: “If Sajda has had that much difficulty getting a position, think about the people Rebecca’s working with and what they might go through.” In contrast, Hilton Manufacturing managing director Todd Hartley has 40 positions to fill and can’t find enough candidates. “We’re looking at 457 visas,” he said. “We’re just having so much trouble recruiting people.” The Dandenong South business will experience 30 per cent growth from 1 January to 1 July this year. Since taking over the business from his father in 2005, Mr Hartley has made a conscious effort to recruit young workers. He worked with Beacon Foundation and Chisholm to find promising teens and hired them in bulk “so they could hang out at smoko, have a good experience of going to work”. “We’ve tried to engage with the younger generation and change the perception of the manuYouth Enterprise Award nominee Nathan Taylor.

Taylor-made for mentoring kids from a young age By Casey Neill Nathan Taylor started mentoring kids when he was still a teen himself. He was the Youth Enterprise Nominee at the first Greater Dandenong Chamber Business Awards breakfast for the year, held at Sandhurst Golf Club on Wednesday 29 March. Chisholm sport and school partnerships manager Connor Mulan said Nathan, 23, started his studies at the TAFE last July with a Certificate IV in Youth Work. Mr Mullan said the student had a high level of commitment and a genuine desire to continue

learning. He said Nathan volunteered with the Dandenong and District Aborigines Co-operative while studying and had taken up a paid position since graduating. Nathan is now completing a diploma of youth work part-time at Chisholm. He said Chisholm had made working while studying easy. “I’m in my dream job at the moment, working in my own community,” he said. The Narre Warren resident believes the diploma will assist with this work. “Education’s going to be the main thing for

me,” he said. “I’d been in mentor and in leadership roles for kids since I was 14, 15. “I saw it as a way to give back to my community in the best way I knew how.” Nathan said his dad was the co-op’s chairperson and his nan was also on the board. “My family was one of the first establishing families,” he said. “I’ve been involved my whole life, so I wouldn’t want to leave.” The Youth Enterprise Award winner will be announced at an event in November.

facturing industry being a dirty and dangerous industry,” he said. “Our business was screaming out for young people to come on board and run our most expensive pieces of equipment. “Our business was falling behind because couldn’t get the next generation on board to run the equipment that would keep leaders in field.” Mr Hartley held information nights for parents to make sure they were comfortable with sending their kids to work at Hilton. He paired the teens with young staff who were two or three years into their roles as mentors, and rotated them through different departments to find their passion. “It’s not easy but we certainly need to do all we can to engage with young people,” Mr Hartley said. “If we don’t engage with them over the next 10 years or so I see us falling behind purely because of the tech savvy involved in operating our equipment.”

Helpful youth placements Welcoming a student into the workplace could help a business in more ways than one. Lesley Hodge from South East Local Learning and Employment Network (SELLEN) spoke about the structured workplace learning program at a SEBN Industry Breakfast at Highways in Springvale on Thursday 6 April. “It’s not a huge commitment but it can be the difference between a student gaining future employment and promoting your industry as a career path,” she said. SEBN manager Sandra George said the students could help businesses to learn how to engage with young workers. Structured workplace learning (SWL) is on-the-job training that allows students to develop their work skills and understand employer expectations. Like work experience, it gives them exposure to the real world of work. But it’s available to Victorian school students in the Vocational Education Training (VET) program as part of their VCE or VCAL studies. Employers can interview students prior to offering them placement and can negotiate hours. Students should be given tasks that are safe, interesting and give them an understanding of the business and industry area. Businesses can promote the attitudes and skills they want in their workforce, identify young people with potential for their industry and increase supervisory, training and mentoring skills. Call SELLEN on 9794 6921 and ask to speak to Leonie Lewis or Lesley Hodge for more information or to get involved.

Melba sessions on disability insurance take the focus By Casey Neill Melba Support Services has set up in the heart of Dandenong. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a major focus for the not-for-profit, which has opened its doors on Walker Street. Innovation and development manager David Glazebrook said Melba would be running NDIS sessions to explain the program and its impacts. “It’s an evolving landscape,” he said. “We’ve been involved with it since last year. “Because we’re actively involved with it, we know a reasonable amount about it. “A lone person or family won’t have the awareness. “The joy of the NDIS, it’s about the people with the disability going ‘this is what I want’. “We’ve got families that we support now at one level going ‘I’m looking forward to this’, but pan-

icking because they don’t understand it. “We’re just keen to engage with people and talk to people.” On 6 December last year, Melba was one of five businesses to receive a Greater Dandenong Business Grant at Dandenong Civic Centre. The grant included up to $8000 plus business mentoring and marketing valued at about $2000. Mr Glazebrook said Melba’s cash went towards shopfront signage, rent and a website redesign. “We’re putting in a language translator,” he said. “We hope it will be online at the end of April. “We need to reengage with some of these communities. “We need to find out what their needs are with disability, and we have to provide the appropriate support.” He’s no stranger to Dandenong. Mr Glazebrook managed the Visy Cares Centre

for young people in Clow Street, now home to the Greater Dandenong Council’s youth services team. “I also used to run Impact Support Services. We were a disability agency in the southern region,” he said. “We were based in Oakleigh.” They sought someone to merge with in 2010, and finalised a deal with Melba on 1 July 2015. “Someone bought the office in Oakleigh, so we had to move,” he said. “We based ourselves in Lilydale.” Mr Glazebook said Melba’s expertise was with complex disabilities. “They’re the people we want to look after into the future,” he said. “Some of the people we’re involved with we have 24-7 involvement. “They need that level of care.” He said his team - which was four part-timers strong and growing - could do a lot over the

Melba Support Services innovation and development manager David Glazebrook outside the new Dandenong office. 166052 phone and online “but people want to meet you”. “I wanna meet whoever’s going to give me that care,” he said. “We wanted to reopen an office in the southern region. “Dandenong is a real central hub of this region.” 35 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 10 April, 2017

SPORT Leader of the pack on board By Nicholas Creely

North Dandenong prodigy Yash Pednekar will suit up for Australia. 166976

Picture: ROB CAREW

Stepping up to proudly represent his country By Nicholas Creely Yash Pednekar is one of the most talented young cricketers in the country, and will be a name likely to be synonymous with cricket for a long time. The 15-year-old leg-spinning all-rounder has from a young age been seen as a bright star in a cricket-rich region of the south-east, featuring in several DDCA representative teams. But just last week, Yash was selected in the Australian under 16s as one of two Victorians who will proudly represent their country on the national stage. The humble star told the Journal that it came down to hard work and a genuine love for the game. “It does mean a lot - I work very hard and I guess it’s paid off, which is great,” he said. “I train very hard and I’ve done well at the championships, which is pleasing.” It has been a hugely productive few years for

Pednekar - playing with his local club North Dandenong he has scored three centuries in the Under 17s as well as making his Turf 1 debut the year prior. In fact, in his 102 game career at the Maroons to date, he averages an impressive 32.09 with the bat and 20 with the ball, staggering numbers for a kid that is still playing junior cricket. His exciting talents have brought him into Monash Tigers, the Victorian Premier Cricket club where he is likely to be playing next season, and was not out of his depth in the toughest competition in the state. “I am looking to play a lot of Premier Cricket this season - it was a great experience this year,” he said. “Just to see how they train is just amazing; I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to do it again.” But it was in the SSA 15 and Under National Championships last month that Pednekar brought his name into the national selectors’ minds, including that of former legend Greg Chappell.

In the championships in Brisbane, the youngster made 49 and 42, and also snared an impressive 4/28 against Vic Country. And if he can be as good as his idol, look out! “I loved watching Sachin Tendulkar - it was just his character and how humble he is - I would love to be a person like him, but also to be able to play like him,” he said. Pednekar will now have to wait until September of this year to play for Australia, where will he form part of the Cricket Australia XI at the Under 17 National Championships in Brisbane, a team coached by former Australian quick Ryan Harris. And only a few months later, he will be part of an exciting six-match series against Pakistan, with the dates and locations still to be decided. He is excited and knows it is a great opportunity to show what he is made of. “I can’t wait - following the traditional pathway of so many successful cricketers is great - seeing where I can potentially go is very exciting,” he said.

Oscar Clavarino has joined a select few of impressive names on the honour board at Shepley Oval. The highly-touted Dandenong Stingray and former Berwick junior could just be the most sought-after key defender in the country come draft time in November, but possesses a quality that is even more important to clubs - genuine leadership. The 17-year-old, who is now the Dandenong Stingrays co-captain alongside fellow teammate Josh Bateman, joins names such as Matt Buntine, Luke Parker, Tom Scully, Ryan Bastinac and Jack Lonie as captain, with those players all going on to forge elite careers in the AFL. Seen as an accountable, reliable and elite one-on-one defender, Clavarino is looking forward to the chance to lead by example on and off-field, and concedes that leadership is something he has always aspired to. “It’s an absolute honour to be selected by my teammates to lead the team alongside my co-captain Josh Bateman,” he said. “It gives me a great sense of respect from my peers given that they have allowed me the opportunity to put my best foot forward in, hopefully, being able to lead the team. “I’ve always looked to be an on-field leader ever since I was young - in my younger years I had the opportunity to captain my local footy team, Berwick, for four years, which gave me the experience and the knowledge of the expectations of a leader. “It gave me the view on what it takes to be a leader and the selfless nature that it taught me was priceless - I’m hoping to be a captain that my teammates can rely on to set high standards both on and off the field and enforce these standards upon the squad. “I think it’s important as well to be a captain who doesn’t set themselves apart from others in regards to importance and can be held accountable for my actions by the team.” Clavarino has already had a taste of life at the elite level with the AFL Academy, spending time with an AFL player and learning the professionalism needed to advance to that level. “I was lucky enough to spend two weeks staying with Jack Viney and training at the Melbourne Football Club as part of the Academy’s AFL experience,” he said. “While learning so much at the club, staying with Jack was an unreal insight into the life of an AFL footballer.”

Digitally interrupted football record the latest victim By David Nagel Not even the humble and much-loved footy record has survived the technological tsunami sweeping the world after the South East Football Netball League’s decision to go digital in 2017. Supporters of all nine clubs in SEFNL were left bemused on Saturday as gatekeepers gave a blank look to their request for a staple of Australian Rules football since 1912. Supporters who have contacted Star News Group said they had no idea the change was being implemented and were confused watching the Round 1 fixture, with new players in new jumper numbers at each club hard to distinguish. According to SEFNL Leagues Manager Liz Triffitt, the change was brought about after all club presidents were surveyed about the future of the booklet. SEFNL now sends the completed digital copy

to the clubs on Friday, with the clubs responsible for printing their own versions prior to the Saturday fixture. The footy record is also available via the TeamApp smartphone app. “We surveyed the clubs and the general consensus came back that printing the records was a waste of time and money,” Triffitt said. “Obviously there was concern for the die-hard supporter, but clubs were throwing half of their allocation into the bin so it was decided to trial a digital record this season. It’s up to the clubs now to print off the team lists after they’ve been sent to them on Fridays.” Triffitt agreed that communicating the change could have been handled better, but said there were positives to come from the move. “We’ve had 3000 views on-line and the clubs now have the opportunity to create links to their websites, to an event they may be hosting, and

even links to their sponsors,” she said. Club presidents were mixed with their views, one describing the change to digital as the “worst decision he had ever seen,” while another said “the inconvenience was bigger than he thought.” One club president said his club had definitely not agreed to the change to digital and would only have done so if the on-line version was run in conjunction with a hard copy. “And we’re still getting charged for a record they’re not producing anymore,” the president said. Another said he was not fussed by the changes and it was just another sign of the times. Most agreed that printing the digital version would add costs to their clubs and would put further pressure on the volunteers who support their club.

Switched-on Machine plugs in to draft hopes By Russell Bennett Perry Lewis-Smith is a machine - one fuelled by doubters, people who’ve knocked him back, or who’ve said no. The 18-year-old Casey Demons utility is as strong under the packs with his clean hands as he is on the outside with his relentless run and carry and sublime foot skills. But he’ll never be the one to say that - he’s too modest and unassuming. Just don’t mistake that for a lack of self-belief. He’s as self-driven as any prodigious young footballer his age. Lewis-Smith’s nickname is ‘The Machine’ for very good reason. He’s won 10 best and fairest category awards as a junior player - three of them league awards. He captained the Parkmore Under 17s to a South East Juniors premiership in 2015, gathering 44 disposals through the midfield and winning the best on ground medal in the grand final. He then moved on to the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup last year, where he played as an attacking half-back. He was constantly in the club’s top five players for key performance indicators, and kept his direct opponents goalless throughout the season. Lewis-Smith had the highest registered and recorded beep test - 15.7 - out of all TAC Cup players competing in the 2016 combines, where they be Rookie Me, the Victorian state, or National combines and also recorded a 15.9 at TAC Cup testing day. When he wasn’t playing at Sandringham last year, he ventured down to play seniors at Dingley in the SFL under Shane Morwood. Despite being just 17 at the time, Lewis-Smith fell just one vote short of the winning the Dingoes’ best and fairest ... in only seven games played. In his limited appearances for the Dingoes, he stole the show with two 40-disposal games and a 30-touch effort while also booting 12 goals during one month of domination. After signing at Casey, he recorded the best time in the three kilometre time trial - 9.42 - and shone in his pre-season debut against the Central Australian Redtails from the Northern Territory. He then followed that up another two outstanding displays - the first against Port Melbourne at Casey. Lewis-Smith has also won various Victorian state track and field cross country championships, including finishing a close second in the steeplechase despite never having run the discipline before. He had to earn his spot on the Casey list for 2017, and he knows he’ll have to earn his debut in their seniors. Former Collingwood premiership team-mates Morwood and Mick Gayfer are two of LewisSmith’s mentors, and he’s also got a particularly strong relationship with Casey VFL coach Justin Plapp. “He’s really supportive, he’s a great teacher, and he’s a great coach,” Lewis-Smith said. “He really works to your strengths, he’s a great communicator and one of the best coaches I’ve ever had.”

Teenage sensation Perry Lewis-Smith has a relentless, take-no-prisoners approach to his footy. 167000 Picture: RUSSELL BENNETT And most importantly - “He’s very straight to the point.” That’s what Lewis-Smith thrives on - honest, direct feedback on his game and how to take it to the next level. “I have to play good, consistent footy in the development squad and earn my sport but there’s definitely an opportunity for me to play in the ones,” the young gun said. “I’ve been knocked back a few times and that definitely keeps driving me. “I just like to go out there and get the job done

and let my footy do my talking for me.” Highly composed under pressure, poised, and with strong instincts - the footy ground is LewisSmith’s office, and he can’t wait to knuckle down and get to work whenever he can. “I want to just keep playing consistent footy week in, week out and hopefully work my way up into the ones and if I play good footy there, to get drafted,” he said. “That’s been the goal for so long. “I think I’m good enough to get drafted, and the window is still open.”

Wins a vote for her future Suffragette set the time standard in Thursday 6 April’s group 2 Launching Pad semifinals by leading all of the way in a sensational 29.35 - and connections expect her to improve further again. Suffragette won on her Sandown Park debut on New Year’s Day but hadn’t won again until the week prior to the Launching Pad series. Despite the period between wins, handler Steve White was always bullish about Millie’s ability and had paved the path to the Launching Pad some time ago. “We’ve always targeted her to be at her peak for the final,” he said. “She ran 29.57 at her first go at the track so she’s improved about four lengths on that run, and ran what I thought she’d run last week before she found trouble. “Her box manners have improved and she’s getting stronger, though she does have a habit of turning in a bad run every now and again but she’s been pretty good in her last four starts.” Suffragette is trainer Kerrie White’s first group race finalist. As well as being the fastest semi-final winner, Suffragette also recorded the best first split of the night, leading TAB to install her as the $2.70 early favourite to claim the $150,000 winner’s cheque despite drawing box 6 for the final. Earlier in the night, Shantui caused an upset when he came from last on leaving the straight for the first time to sweep around his rivals and score in 29.72. It was a blow out result for punters - Shantui paid $27.10 for the win - and helped lead to a massive quaddie dividend of $32,307. The second semi-final went to Zippy Daph which led all of the way to defeat the gallant Zipping Bronze by two lengths in 29.64. Zippy Daph made the most of her first inside box draw in nine starts, jumping flawlessly from box 2 to record her seventh career win. Oronsay caused the second boilover of the semi-finals when she landed the $10,000 winners cheque in 29.64. Oronsay ($21.90) got an early bump out of the boxes before showing brilliant early dash to open a two length gap over He’s Loaded, a margin she’d maintain to the finish line to also score in 29.64. Four heats of the Launching Pad Consolation series opened the night’s racing, with exciting youngster Raw Ability recording the fastest heat win - and fasted time of the night - in 29.31. The group 2 Launching Pad is a sweepstakes series that saw connections of each greyhound pay $2000 for a spot in the heats. The series carries $400,000 in prize money with overall winner pocketing $150,000.

Glen’s name up in white for senior team recruiters By Nicholas Creely Entering his first season as a bona-fide VFL player with the Casey Demons, 19-year-old Tommy Glen is looking to break into the senior side and put his name up on the whiteboards of AFL recruiters once again. The former Dandenong Stingray is making great strides down at Casey Fields after getting a taste of VFL football in 2016, and is looking forward to testing his mettle against some of Victoria’s most seasoned footballers. “I have really enjoyed it (pre-season), obviously it’s a bit of a step up in intensity and a bit more demanding in regards to time, but I was fortunate enough to do half of the pre-season last year at the club while still playing at Dandenong, which held me in good stead in terms of what to expect,” he said. “The obvious goal is to play just the one game 42 JOURNAL NEWS Monday, 10 April, 2017

but I think at least five senior games is achievable and reasonable. “I’m just trying to listen and learn as much as possible and get something out of each time I walk into the club. “The club has given me plenty and I will do everything I can to repay the club.” The slick-moving footballer’s greatest asset is his versatility and natural athleticism, something he believes is suited to the VFL competition and will ensure he is not out of place if given an opportunity to show off his wares. “My best position at VFL level is probably across half-back or the wing, that’s where I can use my strengths to the teams’ advantage, but it’s also important that I’m flexible and able to adapt to whatever is thrown my way,” he explained. “Last year at Dandenong we had a plan to play me as an inside midfielder, to try and grow my game and give me the best opportunity to go to

the next level - being a bit skinnier than most guys at VFL level who are a bit older and more mature, I’ve moved back to a role where I can use my skills and athleticism.” The Demons were highly successful last year in moulding their VFL players into AFL prospects, with three 2016 players, Declan Keilty (Melbourne), Tim Smith (Melbourne) and Oscar McInerney (Brisbane) all finding their way onto AFL lists in 2017. Glen said that the club clearly has the capacity to produce AFL players, something he can use as motivation to achieve his dream. “That’s the ultimate goal - the club is in a good position and I think there is a quite a clear pathway that the club has presented to all the boys with the opportunities that arose for the guys who got drafted from the club last season,” he said.

Tommy Glen is looking forward to testing himself at VFL level. 157392 Picture: ROB CAREW

Burra go down but Bulls on fire By Nicholas Creely

First quarter blitz tells the story of the Stingrays tale By Nicholas Creely TAC CUP - REVIEW - ROUND 3 Not even a stunning resurgence in the secondhalf was enough to hand the Rebels a shock victory, with the Dandenong Stingrays holding on for dear life to bank a 20-point win. In what was a bit of a Jekyl and Hyde game for the Rays, a quick-start proved crucial and highlighted the amount of talent embedded on their list. With last week’s embarrassing drubbing on their minds, the Rays played like a team possessed early, running all over a shell-shocked Rebels side, jumping to a 41-point lead at quarter-time. Incredibly, the Rays kicked 8.0 in the firstquarter, including some absolute ripping goals and electrifying passages of play. It was more of the same in the second-quarter, with the Rays extending their ominous lead to 54, virtually beyond reach for the Rebels. But something changed immediately after the siren sounded to begin a second-half most ex-

The Rebels turned back the clock on a now stunned Stingrays defence, peppering the goals to kick 6.4 to just 2.0 for the quarter, reeling the margin back to a gettable but still difficult 26-points. And despite throwing every little bit of effort into it, the Rays defense, without its regular skip-

per and defensive general Oscar Clavarino, stood firm and relented against a barrage of attacks. But the second-half fadeout would be of concern to coach Craig Black, who has seen his side play some ordinary quarters of football so far. Mitch Cotter was once again outstanding the Rays, while Mason DeWit found some form and Jai Nanscawen impressed with his exceptional goal-sense. The TAC Cup will not be in action next week, but the Rays will return to the field on 22 April with a crucial clash against Sandringham Dragons at Frankston Oval.

Journal Football Review Southern - Div 2 - Round 2 Not even a strong home-crowd could deliver Keysborough 6.11 (47) victory over Chelsea Heights 11.9 (75), with Demons star Philip Smith bagging six goals for the visitors on Saturday. The Burra were hot in the early exchanges, doing all the damage early with three goals courtesy of Jacob Bakes, Chris Bryan and Ryan Goodes. But they could only muster up another 26-points in three-quarters, with the slicker Demons utilizing their momentum and taking the game away after half-time. With scores level at three-quarter time, the Demons kicked five unanswered goals to run away with an impressive victory. In other matches, Springvale Districts 7.9 (51) have registered a scrappy win over Highett 5.8 (38), with Lance Baptist putting in a brilliant display for the Demons. Div 3 - Round 1 There were some genuine shellacking’s to kick start the season in Division 3, with Ashwood 26.17 (173) pounding an uncompetitive Dandenong 4.5 (29). With 43 scoring shots, the Redlegs defenders were under the pump from the get go, with Mitchell Saunders best on with seven majors. Lyndale 27.17 (179) annihilated the struggling Sandown 2.4 (16), with Trevor Kumetaitis starring with eight goals and Shannon Rainey bagging half-a-dozen majors. But there were some close encounters too, with South Yarra 11.11 (77) narrowly edging a plucky Doveton Eagles 10.9 (69), Endeavour Hills 12.12 (84) pipping a competitive Carrum Patterson Lakes 9.3 (57) and Lyndhurst 4.8 (32) falling to Hallam 11.10 (76) in a game closer than the scoreline suggests. In the final game of the round, Moorabbin 6.9 (45) fell to Black Rock 12.8 (80) at home. Eastern - Round 1
