Something big brewing Belmont brothers-in-law Tim Dean and Mark Bruce have released a new craft beer in tribute to the street connecting their homes, where their passion began. “We’re backyardies, at the end of the day,” said Tim, one half of Mt Pleasant Rd Brewers. The teacher and his paramedic brother-in-law began researching hops and investing in serious home-brewing equipment a few years ago. After serving as guinea pigs, neighbours, friends and family encouraged them to take their brewing to the “next level”, Tim said. During COVID-19 they channelled their efforts into their Tropical Eclipse Pale Ale, brewing several trial batches. “It was crafted and perfected during lockdown,” Mark said. They have teamed with Bells Beach Brewing to can 1500 litres of the drop, available at some local bottle shops. They hope to become known as Geelong’s truly-local small-time purveyor of frothies. “It’s all about being local and supporting local,” Tim said. Details: mtpleasantrdbrewers.com.au Luke Voogt

Roadmap to nowhere A lack of clarity on Victoria’s road out of lockdown has left local businesses desperately trying to survive in the lurch, according to Geelong’s tourism board. Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine chief executive Brett Ince urged state and federal governments to provide a clearer roadmap out of lockdown. “We know there are some businesses where this is crunch time,” he said. “A detailed roadmap for the tourism and hospitality industry would provide some certainty for individual businesses to reopen.”

Earlier this week Premier Daniel Andrews said Victoria’s lockdown would ease slightly on September 23, with the state due to reach 70 per cent of people having received their first COVID-19 vaccine dose. Mr Andrews also hinted lockdown could ease in regional Victoria next week. But state government is yet to release case number thresholds or further details on vaccination targets. “There’s some hope but it provides a lot of ambiguity because we don’t understand what that looks like yet,” Mr Ince said. He compared the of lack clarity to state government’s roadmap out of lockdown last

year, which included more specific targets and instructions on how restrictions would ease. “From a tourism and hospitality perspective we were expecting a lot more detail,” he said. “That’s what we thought was coming yesterday or today. Throughout the pandemic, this is the time that businesses have been most uncertain.” The lack of detailed thresholds for metropolitan Melbourne has further increased the uncertainty for Geelong businesses, according to Mr Ince. “We are so reliant on Melbourne as our main market,” he said. While acknowledging various state

government support for hospitality and tourism businesses, Mr Ince called for a similar scheme to the federal and NSW governments’ joint JobSaver subsidy. “Whilst there is government support that is being provided right now, we’re hearing loud and clear that without wage subsidies … it’s going to be really difficult for businesses to get to the other side,” he said. Mr Ince, who is plans to get his second AstraZeneca shot in a few weeks, urged locals get vaccinated. “It’s really clear that the only way out of this is vaccination levels,” he said. “It’s out best shot of travelling again.”

New house builds tipped to soar across region Almost 60,000 new homes will be built in Geelong in the next 20 years, according to a forecast by an Australia-wide building research company. M3property research on Tuesday predicted a surge in building supply after residential approvals skyrocketed in 2020-21. Geelong residential approvals increased by almost half in a year with 4606 in 2020-21, up on 3109 the previous financial year, according to data provided by the researcher. Most of the approvals occurred in the growth areas of Charlemont and Mount Duneed.

Builders completed 2620 dwellings in Geelong during 2020, with M3property expecting this to increase due to the strong approvals this financial year. “Geelong’s residential supply has become increasingly diverse with medium and high-density dwellings representing a higher proportion of total dwelling approvals,” the group’s national residential development director Luana Kenny said. “Geelong also has an increasingly diverse economy with a range of current and emerging industry sectors such as construction, health,

education, retail, accommodation and food services and advanced manufacturing.” The total value of all Geelong approvals increased by more than half a billion dollars during 2020-21, according to M3property. The increase of $530.7 million (48.2 per cent) from $1.1 billion in 2019-20 to $1.63 billion in 2020-21, reflected both an increase in approvals and property values, Ms Kenny said. Median house prices in Geelong increased by almost 20 per cent over the 2020-21 financial year while units rose by 21.5 per cent over the same period to $532,000, according to

M3property. Ms Kenny cited the duplication of both Barwon Heads Road and railway from South Geelong to Waurn Ponds as projects that would further drive population growth. She added the regional city had become an increasingly popular residential, lifestyle and employment destination, driven by a range of factors including proximity to Melbourne, relative affordability and improving infrastructure.

Family loses everything By Luke Voogt Whittington mother-of-five Alisha Cooper lost everything in 20 minutes after an “honest mistake” caused her house to go up in flames on Monday evening. Ms Cooper left oil cooking on stove as she rushed out the door to walk to the supermarket with her children just before 5pm. “I got to Lovett Court and realised ‘s**t I haven’t turned the stove off’,” she said. Not long after she turned around, long-time friend Nicole Stratton called after hearing a Whittington house was ablaze. “I got back to Solar Drive and there was just

black smoke billowing out,” Ms Cooper said. “I was too distraught to go down there.” The fire destroyed Ms Cooper’s social housing property on Freedom Court, leaving her and her family with next to nothing. “The only thing I was able to save was a family photo when I went to the front door for the first time [on Tuesday],” she said. The Salvation Army organised a motel for the family to stay at, while her eldest, Brock, is staying with his grandmother. Brock’s father Billy Guest was murdered in late 2019, several years after he and Ms Cooper broke up. “Brock’s lost everything in last couple of years. He’s really lost at the moment,” she said.

But friends, family and strangers alike have rallied around the family. Whittington Primary School teachers have helped with groceries, while Encompass Community Services donated a whole house package including furniture. “We’re getting heaps of support from the Whittington community – they’ve been amazing,” Ms Cooper said. And the same friend who initially called to check up on them, Ms Stratton, has organised an online campaign to them get back on their feet.

Health authorities confirmed one new case of COVID-19 in Geelong yesterday with a Hamlyn Heights resident testing positive. “The individual is isolating at home with their family,” Barwon Health said in a statement. “The source of acquisition is currently being investigated.” The case was one of 176 recorded across Victoria on Wednesday and brings Geelong’s total active cases to 11. Four cases are linked to a household in Thompson while another six are from a single household in Lara. On Wednesday night one of these cases was hospitalised, Barwon Health confirmed. “Last night a positive COVID-19 patient was admitted to University Hospital Geelong,” the health provider said yesterday. “They were admitted directly to the ward and not via the emergency department, in line with our protocol for managing COVID-19 positive patients. “All appropriate infection prevention measures were followed and the patient is currently in a stable condition.” The Independent understands this case was a member of the Lara household. On Wednesday evening Barwon Health listed 7 Origins Café from 2.20pm to 3.10pm last Saturday (August 28), and Poco Café Exprès from 11am to 12.10pm and Coles on Shannon Avenue from 12pm to 1.05pm, last Sunday (August 29), as Tier 2 exposures sites. Barwon Health has also listed the Geelong Distribution Centre – Boardriders in North Geelong as a Tier 2 site from 3pm to midnight on August 23, along with The Gordon TAFE East Geelong Campus [from 8am to 4.45pm on August 26]. The first exposure site is related to the Thompson household while the second relates to a metro case. Luke Voogt

Fine over soldier’s death The Defence Department has been fined $1 million over the death of a Geelong soldier in a live-fire training exercise in 2017. Private Jason Challis was killed in May 2017 at Mount Bundey training area, south of Darwin, when he was shot in the head after becoming separated from the rest of his unit during the exercise. A Darwin Local Court handed down the fine this week after the Australian Army pleaded guilty in May for failing to comply with a health and safety duty.

Get into great outdoors Nature is calling with Geelong council encouraging locals to head out into the wild for outdoor activities across the city later this month. Locals can search for platypuses at Waurn Ponds Creek, discover waterbugs in the Barwon River or participate in several other outdoor activities from September 25 to October 3, subject to COVID-19 restrictions. The Geelong Nature Forum also includes tree-planting along the Moorabool River, and tours of Sparrovale Wetlands (Charlemont), Begola Wetlands (Ocean Grove) and the Brisbane Ranges (Steiglitz). “There is something in almost every corner of our municipality for people to take part in,” council environmental portfolio chair Jim Mason said. “The free educational and scenic field trips encourage people to explore in their local area and learn more about our rich natural assets.”

Pending COVID-19 restrictions, the forum’s marquee event will take place at National Wool Museum on September 26 featuring local experts and community groups. “You can learn more about our local waterways and the diverse wildlife that calls it home,” Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said. “And you can not only connect with nature, but also the community volunteer groups who work to protect and enhance our environment.” Geelong Nature Forum was first held in 2019 but COVID-19 restrictions forced the cancellation of last year’s event. The event is organised by Geelong council, Geelong Field Naturalists Club, Friends of the Barwon and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, with sponsorship from Corangamite Catchment Management Authority and Barwon Water.

Coastal towns lead vaccine race By Luke Voogt Queenscliff is leading Australia’s COVID-19 vaccination race due to its ageing population, with the Surf Coast Shire third in Victoria for fully-vaccinated residents. As of last Friday, 86.9 per cent of people over the age of 15 had received their first dose in the Borough of Queenscliff, while almost two thirds were fully-vaccinated, according to the latest federal health data. The rates in the borough, which has a median age of 59, were the highest for both categories of any municipality in Australia. Aged care residents were among the first eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines

in Australia, with federal government progressively lowering the eligibility age criteria throughout the year. “Queenscliff has an older population and this is likely to have influenced the vaccination rate,” Barwon South West Public Health Unit director Professor Eugene Athan stated on Monday. The Surf Coast Shire, which has a median age

of 42, has the second-highest rate of first doses and the third most fully-vaccinated residents of any local government area (LGA) in Victoria, at 73.1 and 48.3 per cent respectively. The federal department of health last Saturday released data for 400 LGAs, with the Surf Coast Shire placing 14th nationwide for both first doses and fully-vaccinated residents. NSW has the most LGAs in the top 10 for first doses as the state rushes to vaccinate its population amid record daily cases. Greater Geelong ranks 29th out of Victorian LGAs for first doses and 15th for fully-vaccinated locals, at 63.8 and 41.4 per cent respectively, and 101st and 57th in Australia. Previous federal health data releases

have ranked Geelong as having the highest vaccination rates of any region in Victoria. But these releases relate to the larger Geelong statistical area level 4, which also includes the Surf Coast Shire and the Borough of Queenscliffe. Professor Athan expected the region to reach state government vaccination targets for reopening in November. “Of course, this will be achieved earlier if there is more vaccine supply,” he said. “We aim to achieve equitable vaccination rates across the region, so the population rates in each area will vary from week-to-week.” To book phone 1800 675 398 or visit portal.cvms.vic.gov.au.

University set to cut more staff By Luke Voogt Deakin University could cut up to 220 jobs in a proposal slammed by the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU). In an online meeting on Tuesday, Deakin University vice-chancellor Iain Martin told staff a significant organisational restructure could result in the loss of 180 to 220 jobs. NTEU Deakin University branch president Piper Rodd described the announcement at the end of the one-hour meeting as “demoralising”. Dr Rodd, a lecturer in Deakin’s School of

Education, said the cuts could result in the loss of about 125 administrative staff and about 80 academics. “In my school there’s going to be 15 academic jobs lost and a number of positions that are essentially demoted.” “Dozens” of academic and administrative staff could face pay cuts as a result of the plans, Dr Rodd said. If approved, Deakin will have made more than 500 employees redundant since the beginning of the pandemic in March last year. The proposed restructure is part of the

university’s Deakin Reimagined plan, aiming to create a “sustainable” response to COVID-19 while investing in a “vibrant future”. Deakin University has released the plan among staff for a two-week consultation period. Corangamite MP Libby Coker took aim at federal government over the proposed cuts. “The Prime Minister has failed the higher education sector,” Ms Coker said. “Staff at Deakin haven’t been supported. There was no JobKeeper for them. And it has been a double whammy for the university with the government’s failure to establish purpose-built

quarantine facilities. Billions of dollars were squandered by the Morrison Government on JobKeeper going to businesses that didn’t need it, yet our university sector, one of the nation’s biggest export earners, was snubbed. I feel for the local people who may lose their jobs. “Australia is no longer the smart or the lucky country. Investment in education is crucial to Australia’s recovery from the pandemic, but the Morrison government refuses to support our university sector.” Federal Victorian senator Sarah Henderson was contacted for comment.

Long-forgotten stations unearthed A long-forgotten station near the Breakwater bridge is just one of the histories Norm Houghton has unearthed in his new book on the Warrnambool line. The stopping point for wool scourers opened in 1889 before “falling on evil days” and in closing in 1898, the South Geelong historian explained. “When the 1890s bank crash happened the wool scourers weren’t doing as much business,” he said. “There’s nothing to see there now. When they rebuilt the tracks in 2016 they got rid of everything that was left.” Mr Houghton’s new book, To Warrnambool,

stopping all stations, delves into the history of all 56 stops on the line from 1876 onwards. “In those days the roads were poor and it was horse and cart,” he said. “The only way you could move anything around with any certainty was by rail.” The book also explores history of Marshall Railway Station, which served as a junction for the original Geelong Racecourse “in the middle of nowhere” before it moved to its current location in Breakwater. The station was also vital in the construction of Geelong’s 1913 sewerage system using pipes from a nearby cement factory, now a heritage-listed site.

“They used to send out 300,000 tonnes of cement a year out to Melbourne, Gippsland and Mildura,” Mr Houghton said. Mr Houghton, who received an Order of Australia Medal in January for his historical work, lives just down the road from a rail crossing – fitting, given his interest in all things train-related. “We can’t keep pictures straight on the wall, but we knew that when we bought the house 30 years ago,” he laughed.

GeelongPort unveiled designs for the planned Spirit of Tasmania terminal building at Corio Quay in North Geelong this week. The terminal building will be operational in 2022 with construction due to begin later this year, according to GeelongPort chief executive Brett Winter. “A lot of thought has gone into the design of the terminal building with inspiration for the design being drawn from the beautiful landscapes that Tasmania is famous for,” he said. The design, created by Brand Architects, incorporates angled windows and sunshades over the glass façade in tribute to Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake. The terminal is part of the relocation of the passenger vessel’s Victorian destination from Melbourne to North Geelong, which Spirit of Tasmania announced in April, 2020. “The final design is both striking and functional and it will provide the hundreds of thousands of visitors to Victoria and Tasmania every year, a contemporary, comfortable and streamlined experience as part of their voyage,” Mr Winter said. The terminal plans include a café, dedicated play area for children and lounge areas.

Report lauds city deal progress By Luke Voogt Works on central Geelong’s Green Spine and the city’s main train station are under way as part of a joint state-federal funding deal. The second annual progress report for the $382.48 million Geelong City Deal highlighted progress on the controversial Green Spine project to install bike lanes and linear parks along Malop Street. The $5 million Green Spine block one is progressing, with drainage, kerb and channel works between Gheringhap and Clare streets complete and final works under way.

The progress report stated that a $3 million upgrade of Geelong Railway Station to install brighter and more energy-efficient LED lighting in car parks and the bus canopy is in its early stages. The report highlights key milestones including the opening of a new $10.1 million, 440-metre Wave Attenuator last year. Wangim Walk, now one of Australia’s longest public on-water walkways, stretches out to provide a safe harbour for Royal Geelong Yacht Club. Significant progress has also been made on the Queenscliff ferry terminal with a new

boardwalk and rock groyne complete and construction of the terminal building under way. The Twelve Apostles Precinct Redevelopment Project Plan was also endorsed, including a $23.4 million Private Sector Business Enablement Fund. A number of major contracts have been awarded along the Great Ocean Road as a result of the city deal. These include the detailed design of the $12 million redevelopment of Apollo Bay harbour, planning for the $5 million Apollo Bay to Skenes Creek Coastal Trail and $1.9 million

for tourism infrastructure at Kennett River. Local federal and state MPs lauded the progress of projects under the deal. “The Geelong City Deal is creating wonderful new opportunities for tourism and jobs growth,” federal Victorian senator Sarah Henderson said. “I am anxious to see much-needed progress on the Geelong convention centre also.” Bellarine MP Lisa Neville said the deal was delivering for her electorate and the neighbouring seat of Geelong, with the Queenscliff ferry terminal set to “bring back visitors to the region”.

Work starts on aqueduct demolition Engineers have begun work to stabilise Breakwater’s 108-year-old ovoid sewer aqueduct in preparation to demolish four spans of the heritage-listed structure. Barwon Water last November confirmed the $6.5 million demolition of four of 14 spans would begin later this year, subject to weather, after Heritage Victoria approved the project. “[Contractor] McMahon Services is now working with our engineers on geotechnical work and construction methodology for the propping of the aqueduct,” Barwon Water managing director Tracey Slatter said last Friday. “We plan, subject to weather and river conditions and the very complex nature of the work, to finish stabilisation of the structure

by 2022-23 and removal of the four spans by 2023-24.” The works are set to progress despite community group Friends of the Barwon River Ovoid Sewer Aqueduct’s long-running campaign against the demolition. The group describes the project as “heritage vandalism” and argues the four spans could be stabilised for half the cost of the demolition, citing previous assessments of the structure from 2017. Meanwhile, Barwon Water announced this week it would form a community reference group as part of its plan to open up public access to 66 hectares of land surrounding the aqueduct. The precinct, dubbed Porronggitj Karrong

(place of the Brolga), would acknowledge Aboriginal culture alongside the aqueduct’s European heritage values, Ms Slatter said. She said she welcomed expressions of interest from the public in joining the community reference group, which she described as an important part of the project. “We see possibilities for Porronggitj Karrong to be a drawcard for the region and a source of pride in the community,” she said. Ms Slatter said Porronggitj Karrong was a key action in Barwon Water’s reconciliation action plan. Details: yoursay.barwonwater.vic.gov.au/ aqueduct Luke Voogt

Almost 2000 students enrolled in more than $5 million worth of free courses at Gordon TAFE last year in a new state government initiative. The number of Geelong students accessing the Free TAFE for Priority Courses initiative was up 36 per cent on 2019, with locals saving a total of $5,092,301 in fees through the program in 2020, according to the state government. The diploma of nursing was the most popular course at Gordon TAFE with enrollments increasing by 83 per cent in the calendar year. Certificate IV in plumbing and services increased by 42 per cent, state government’s recently-released TAFE report card revealed. Both courses were supporting demand in Geelong, according to state government. “This new report card shows the tangible benefits of free TAFE on jobseekers, and our local workforce and economy, and that’s exactly why we are making record investments in TAFE and training,” Training and Skills Minister Gayle Tierney said. The number of Indigenous students enrolled at Gordon TAFE also grew by 23 per cent. Overall enrollment in TAFE courses increased by 21 per cent in Victoria for 2020, with improved access for women, and Indigenous and culturally-diverse Victorians, according to government. “Free TAFE is life-changing to people in Geelong – and Gordon TAFE has been a key part in giving jobseekers better access to training and the jobs that they want,” Geelong MP Christine Couzens said.

The Creative Collective Memory Arts project is a new venture which seeks to capture the collective experience of COVID-19 through art making. The project will create an arts-based memory project detailing our community’s experience through COVID-19 and will include workshops and exhibitions. Geelong Regional Libraries now welcomes expressions of interest from local artists who can facilitate workshops in the community. A stipend of $1,000 (including material costs) is available.

Applications close 11.59pm Sunday 12 September www.grlc.vic.gov.au/creative-collective-memory-arts-ccma This project has been funded by a grant from the Libraries for Health and Wellbeing Program, an initiative of State Library Victoria and Public Libraries Victoria.

WADAWURRUNG COUNTRY Friday, 3 September, 2021 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 7

FRIDAY FEATURE GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Prize reveals tale of two artists Colourful and vibrant, dark and eerie – Geelong’s two shortlisted entries in the National Capital Art Prize are as different as the journeys of their creators. Janne Kearney and Sam Massey speak to Luke Voogt about the stories behind their eye-catching art.

anne Kearney reckons her late husband Michael would “be over the moon” after she made the finals of National Capital Art Prize recently. “Mick was always the first one to crack open a bottle of champagne and celebrate,” she remembered. Mick, who succumbed to lung cancer two days before his 60th birthday on March 18, was the man behind Janne’s artistic renaissance in her mid-40s. At the time Janne was working part-time in a paint shop while looking after their two children Tegan and Jake. “I said to Mick, ‘I would love to take up painting full-time but work makes it so difficult’,” she said.“Mick said, ‘hang on a minute, you’ve got one crack at this. I want you to go to work tomorrow and hand in your resignation, and start painting full-time’.” The asset engineer fully restored an old stable on their Geelong West property for his wife, which she still uses as her art studio today. “I never really looked back after that,” she said. “He was incredible. His encouragement and support enabled me to take up art professionally. “If it wasn’t for him giving me that push, I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today.” The passion had lain dormant since Janne was a child – the youngest of five growing up in Norlane. “As long as I can remember, all I’ve ever wanted to be is an artist,” she said. “I can remember when my mum was alive – we were so poor– we had nothing. “I had some crayons and she would save the butcher’s paper for me. Every week I couldn’t wait to get the butcher’s paper – otherwise I had to draw on the newspaper. My mother died on Christmas Eve when I was nine.” After that their grandmother, who lived in a granny flat on the property, helped their dad raise them. “She just gave unconditional love,” Janne remembered. But her love of art took a backseat to finding a job and trying to make a life for herself through hard work. “Life, struggles and family commitments got in the way,” she said. Janne met Mick through mutual friends at age 15, moved in with him to Geelong West the next year and married a few years later in 1982. Since Mick inspired Janne to re-embrace her love of art, she has won or made the finals of more than 80 international and national prizes. She even appeared on US television after being one of seven winners – from 3600 entries – in the Fashion Week San Diego Art Award with her tribute to the ‘Me Too’ movement. “That was a really cool prize to win,” she said. “[A designer] created an outfit or costume to match the theme of [each winning painting].” Her work also featured in the BP Portrait Prize, which Janne described as “the Oscars of the portrait world”, in London’s National Portrait Gallery, before selling to a major collector. For years Mick remained Janne’s biggest supporter and most generous critic. “I had to stop asking for advice in the end because it was always positive, even though I knew there was something I needed to improve,” she said fondly. “He wasn’t lying – it was just how he saw everything about me.” But two days before Christmas 2019, disaster struck. Mick was diagnosed with lung cancer, and Geelong-based cardiothoracic surgeon associate professor Bo Zhang performed an operation to remove part of his left lung. The surgery “gave him extra time” to witness their daughter get married in February, 2020, just before COVID-19 hit, according to the forever grateful Janne. “If he didn’t have the operation he probably would not have made it to the wedding,” she said. “The last two years have been quite 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 3 September, 2021

difficult for me. I didn’t paint for those two years he was sick and dying. “We were in total 100 per cent lockdown for 18 months, only leaving the house to go to medical appointments.” In July, 2020, Mick again had the joy of seeing his wife win at the Lethbridge Small Scale Art Prize with a painting she created prior to his diagnosis. The $20,000 art prize based in Lethbridge, Queensland, is the largest of its type in Australia, and Janne remembered watching online with Mick as she was announced as the winner. “The roar and the happiness was such a bright spot in such dark and gloomy time for us,” she said. Janne’s latest work, All Day Sucker, was among 121 finalists announced this week from more than 1000 submissions in the inaugural National Capital Art Prize. The painting is part of Janne’s Eye Candy series exploring women’s freedom of expression while taking aim at those who criticise women for how they dress and blame the victims of sexual crimes. “The onus is put on women, not the perpetrator,” she said. “It’s time that argument ceased. I was really getting annoyed that a lot of the response toward women expressing themselves was becoming quite negative and almost treating it as taboo. “Women were being slut-shamed when they dressing in a sexy matter or what society deemed as provocative. To be truly liberated, we need to be able to dress how we wish and not have fear of verbal or physical retribution. “It’s about celebrating women and their own sexuality and being in control of that.”

Her striking portraits of female muses on rainbow-coloured backgrounds, which she describes as “one step short of hyper-realism”, are almost polar opposites of the work of Geelong’s other National Capital Art Prize finalist. Inspired by Belgian artist Michaël Borremans and American sculptor Nick Cave, new Lara local Sam Massey captures an unnerving sense of ambiguity and a hint of something dark in his painting The Hokey Pokey. “I like a sense of ambiguity or uncertainty,” the 28-year-old told the Independent. The painting features three female figures pouring flowers from vases, with their faces distorted. “I started with the idea of three figures staring at something they’ve poured on the ground,” he said. The figures are based on three different photographs of his wife Anneliese. “I couldn’t choose between the figures,” he said. “In the reference photography the faces are included, but in a way that neutralises the power the imagery could have, rather than enhance it. They didn’t add anything, they kind of detracted from the feeling it could generate.” The painting is a return to the eerie and foreboding style Sam favours, drawing influence from the likes of the early 1990s American horror series Twin Peaks. “I like something that’s more thought-provoking rather than a placid, picturesque thing,” he said. “There’s an unnerving element to a show like Twin Peaks and other interests I have that I would like to present in my art. “I’m happy to experience those things in art

because they are not things I have experienced personally. I can’t imagine I would ever want to explore them in my art if I had.” Sam grew up on the northwest outskirts of Sydney drawing “dinosaurs” and “characters from movies that I admired”, with positive feedback from peers and teachers encouraging him to pursue art. He joined Sydney’s National Arts School after a gap year following a suggestion from his dad. “Dad found the National Arts School before I was even looking seriously,” he said. Sam’s curiosity “snowballed” into a passion that now consumes most of his and Anneliese’s triple garage in Lara – part of why they bought the property. “We still park one of the cars in here so I’ve still got a double garage to play with,” he said. The couple moved last year after initially moving to Bell Post Hill a few years ago for Anneliese’s work as a lawyer. Sam, who works in retail and is studying to be a teacher, already has a few artistic honours to his name. In 2019 he won the $2000 traditional category in the Fisher’s Ghost Art Award with a portrait of his artistic idol Michaël Borremans. But he dreams of taking the next step and becoming a full-time painter, like fellow finalist Janne did more than a decade ago. “That would be ideal,” he said. “The more I’ve learnt about art, the more I’ve enjoyed it.” The National Capital Art Prize has a prize pool of $45,000, with a $15,000 top prize and a $2500 people’s choice award. Voting for the people’s choice closes on September 30. Further details: nationalcapitalartprize.com.au

MY GEELONG North Bellarine Film Festival president Bill Lussier is optimistic his favourite local event will premier as planned at the Potato Shed from November 12 to 14. The Portarlington local and American expat speaks to Luke Voogt about his love of the silver screen. (Ivan Kemp) 248934_03

Tell us about you… I am 61-years-old. I grew up in Chicopee, Massachusetts, which is in the New England region of the US. I emigrated to Australia in 1998 and spent the next six years in Port Lincoln, South Australia. I began working with the Victorian Fisheries Authority in 2004 at Snobs Creek and in Melbourne before relocating to Queenscliff in 2013. My last role before retiring from the authority earlier this year was as manager of marine and estuarine fisheries. My partner Sue and I live in Portarlington with our 15-year-old terrier Bruno. How did you become a film-lover? My earliest memories are of going to see Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. As a teenager, I spent a lot of time watching James Bond and Bruce Lee films at the Saturday matinees. My favourite films have complex characters and believable storylines that keep me engrossed, but I’ll give any film five minutes to get me hooked. My all-time favourite is To Kill a Mockingbird. What is your role in the North Bellarine Film Festival? I joined the festival committee in 2018, and I’m now its president and the chair of our Emerging Filmmaker Award selection panel. I really enjoy the process of organising the annual festival, but my favourite part is calling filmmakers to tell them that they have won an award. The winner has usually forgotten that they submitted their film, but once they figure out what the guy with the American accent is talking about, they are thrilled. A big challenge for small festivals like ours is putting together an interesting alternative to what is in cinemas or on streaming services. We are also starting to present additional

events such as the short film program we recently held at a Geelong winery.

Esplanade between Portarlington and St Leonards and along the Barwon River.

What are your favourite things to do locally? Geelong is a fantastic place to live. Some of my favourite things to do – restrictions permitting – are dining on Little Malop Street or at any of our other great restaurants and wineries, visiting Geelong Botanic Gardens and cycling along The

How are you coping with COVID-19? I’m staying very busy working on the 2021 film festival and identifying new cycling routes that are within five kilometres of home. It helps that we live in a great town where you will always run into someone you know and say a quick ‘hi’.

Like most people, I yearn for a time when we can make plans, go places and catch up with friends, but until then, I’m very happy to be living where I am. What’s something about you that people might not know? After spending three years with Bruno in dog obedience school, the only thing that he will do semi-consistently on command is drop.

Sharon and Karen share art business guidance After more than two decades working in Hong Kong as an international producer, Sharon Seyd knows a thing or two about making a living from arts. Seyd worked on major projects across Asia from the cosmopolitan artistic heart of Hong Kong, collaborating with American network NBC, the BBC and other large organisations. “I was used to often getting half a million dollars from a corporation to get a large-scale project up and running in a few months,” she told the Independent. She and her colleague from Pop-Up Art, Karen Corr, plan to share their experience in a free online ArtsAction workshop series coming to Geelong for the first time next month. Pop-Up Art began after Seyd moved back to Melbourne and read an amusing but hard-hitting critique on a Castlemaine festival from a local artist in 2008. “We have a weekender in Castlemaine,” she explained. “He wrote this very funny short piece on how everyone comes to Castlemaine for the prawns – Castlemaine is inland so the prawns aren’t even from there – and wine, and a free postcard photo at his gallery. “They’re not buying his art, they’re just spending their money on prawns and wine. This was the seedling of Pop-Up Art.” Over the past decade Pop-Up Art has organised events featuring hundreds of regional Victorian artists, including an exhibition of works hanging at stations along the Bendigo line. But Seyd soon realised the local arts environment was very different to Hong Kong.

“I had this reality check that there’s very little money in the arts here in Australia,” she said. “Even pre-COVID-19 there was not enough money to sustain our core organisations. Over the past decade we’ve slowly tried to chip away at how we can make a difference.” Seyd and Corr, who has background in organising community groups, gradually turned their attention more toward helping individual artists “translate” their passion into a career path. “It’s making the most of the little funding that’s out there, but also growing the voice of the creative sector,” Seyd said. “Creatives deserve to have financially-viable careers, rather than having to keep their day job as a waiter, an administrator or whatever it may be.” Seyd, who teaches arts business at the Victorian College of the Arts and Deakin University, plans to teach local creatives how to be market-ready, work together effectively and build digital communities. She and Corr will collaborate with eight councils in one hit through the ArtsAction professional development program, which has had more than 200 creatives sign up so far in the week since registrations opened. The program includes a six-part email resource pack and weekly Zoom workshops, with the first of four online series beginning next month.

The health benefits of dancing for seniors range from improving your physical health to creating strong social connections that increase your sense of wellbeing. A 2018 study by the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) showed a positive relationship between dancing and the physical and emotional health of older Australians. Participants in the study experienced improved flexibility, boosted energy levels and better posture. Further studies have found that dancing can slow or even reverse the signs of ageing in the brain. Among these benefits, older Australians are likely to experience an improvement in balance, coordination and spatial awareness, which in turn could reduce their likelihood of falls. Dancing also provides an increase in heart rate, encouraging the movement of oxygen throughout the body. This has shown positive effects on heart and lung condition, and has the potential to lessen the risk of conditions such as cardiovascular disease. Regular dance also assists in weight management, toning muscle, improving strength and reducing joint pain. The benefits of dancing aren’t just physical. Regular dancing has been shown to increase the size of the hippocampus, which is the region of the brain responsible for spatial navigation and memory formation. Not only did study participants enjoy a range of physical and mental progress, they also experienced a shift in overall mood, self-esteem and confidence. This is attributed to a combination of the effects of physical exercise and the social interactions and connections formed during the dance classes.

Some things to consider

■ Are you looking to dance on your own or

with a partner? Perhaps you’d like to join a group dance class, or maybe you’d prefer private lessons. ■ What sort of dance style are you looking to engage in? The options are endless. Ballet, line dancing, Latin or salsa, waltzing, tap dancing, dance aerobics and even seated dance classes

are all popular styles you can choose from.

■ Before you pull on your dancing shoes, it’s important to consult your doctor or medical professional. They can provide you with proper advice tailored to your health needs. ■ Once you’ve got the go ahead, you should make sure that you hydrate properly before,

during and after you dance. Warming up and cooling down is also crucial to avoid stiffness or injury. ■ Take care not to over work yourself on the dance floor. Remember, it’s all about getting active and having fun. Now get out there and bust a move!

Tom Hooper’s moving tale about the little-known relationship between King George VI and an unorthodox Australian speech therapist is a feelgood tale wrapped up in royal intrigue. Colin Firth delivers an Oscar-winning performance as the stammering king, struggling to overcome his impediment in order to present a composed, eloquent figure to the English public as World War II breaks out. Equally inspiring is Geoffrey Rush, whose quirky, cheeky Lionel Logue bounces brilliantly off the reserved, austere royal he is trying to help. Aussie Guy Pearce is the abdicating King Edward VIII and Helena Bonham Carter (pictured) is as composed as she has ever been as Queen Elizabeth. A rare work of art and a must-see.

MOTOR

Audi offers a little devil of a car By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring If the Audi R8 supercar could be called a beast, by the same token, the SQ2 small sports utility vehicle, by the German maker, surely earns the title little devil. The figures speak for themselves. The R8 quattro serves up 449 kW and 560 Nm, launching the car from rest to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, the SQ2 quattro 221 kW and 400 Nm, a tad over a second slower. Unremarkably, cost is $395,000 (R8) against $64,400 (SQ2), plus on-roads, but who’s counting? With a worldwide shift to SUVs, after some years on sale in Europe, Audi has taken the opportunity to launch a refreshed version of the performance compact in Australia. Outside of the R8, Audis with an ‘S’ in the model designation are generally accepted to have something special and the SQ2 is no exception, as the figures above illustrate. It’s all down to a 2.0-litre TFSI engine, mated with a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive, plus sport suspension and progressive steering to ensure performance is up to sporting scratch for a compact SUV.

Styling Up front the SQ2 eschews modern-day sports utility vehicle matt black radiator grille for a highly decorative pattern of shiny metallic swirls and straight lines, flanked by Matrix LED headlamps, dynamic indicators and large geometric air intakes. Side on, the car maintains SUV status quo with square proportions from bonnet to boot, the only concession to crossover coupe styling being a shallow dip of the roof approaching the C-pillar. Nothing can compare with the bling of the front, except maybe the red brake calipers lurking behind five double-spoke V-style 19-inch alloy wheels and double twin chrome-tipped exhaust tips poking from under the rear bumper.

Interior The cabin is straight out of the Audi

The Audi SQ2 brings a new level of performance to the compact SUV segment.

performance car playbook. Front occupants are firmly welcomed by heated sport seats in Nappa leather with ‘S’ embossed black upholstery. The ‘S’ logo is repeated on the three-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifts and multifunction buttons. The 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit with S-specific display has a configurable information display, while an 8.3-inch dash-mounted screen features MMI navigation plus, smartphone interface for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB digital radio and Audi Drive Select info.

Infotainment Occupants can be entertained via a Bang & Olufsen Premium sound system, featuring 14 hi-fi speakers outputting a total of 705 Watts. Wireless phone charging is a convenient fixture. Engines / transmissions Four cylinders in line add up to 1.984 litres developing maximum power of 221 kW between 5300 and 6500 rpm and peak torque of 400 Nm from 2000 to 5200 revs on premium unleaded petrol. Power is put to ground through a seven-speed S tronic transmission and Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system.

(Pictures: Supplied)

Safety The SQ2 features the Audi Pre-Sense basic system, with adaptive cruise control with stop/ go, active lane assist and side assist (blind spot alert). Also included are Pre-Sense City, with autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian and cyclist detection. Also on hand is Parking System Plus, front and rear, with rear view camera and park assist.

Driving At the heart of the SQ2 performance is the 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder motor, capable of delivering peak power of 221 kW at 5300 rpm, with 400 Nm of torque on tap between 2000 and 5200 revs. Over a longish-term with the test vehicle taking on conditions ranging from shuffling through heavy city traffic to motorway cruising and lung-busting acceleration on country twists and turns, the engine coped well, growling only when pushed. Long-term fuel consumption worked out at around 10 litres per 100 kilometres compared with makers combined claim of 7.7 litres per 100 kilometres. Audi Drive Select gave the driver a chance to match the car with his moods at the flick of a

switch on the dashboard and its connection to a centre-console knob. Needless to say, Efficient mode dumbed down acceleration, while softening the ride to almost soporific standards. Comfort and Automatic dialled up power, plus stiffer ride and handling, while Dynamic sharpened the lot enough for a teeth-rattling ride on even slightly irregular road surfaces. Individual mode defied deeper investigation due to lack of time with the car and the absence of a track with a clear run. Absence of a head-up display was noted. Leg room in the rear could be cramped with a tall driver in front. The boxy exterior makes for ample head room in the cabin. Boot space is on the slim side (355 litres, with the floor at its lowest) but there’s added convenience loading and unloading with a power tailgate, whose opening can be programmed for height to prevent tall owners bumping themselves.

Summary Which motoring enthusiast would not be tempted by Audi’s devilish little compact SQ2? The 60K-plus price tag may be a stumbling block for some, but you do get a lot of kit for the price. These days a three-year warranty seems a bit stingy. Friday, 3 September, 2021 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 21

Grand final last hope as lockdown scuttles semis LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers The extension of Victoria’s COVID-19 lockdown this week to September 23 has caused the cancellation of Tennis Geelong’s senior and junior semi-finals. Organisers have postponed all grand finals to next Saturday, September 14, in hope of local community sport resuming after Premier Daniel Andrews indicated lockdown could end early in regional Victoria next week. Even with an earlier easing of restrictions in regional Victoria, third-and fourth-placed teams will miss out on their chance for a premiership, with the minor premiers and runners-up of each section to face off. The Section 1 men’s grand final will be one to watch with Hamlyn Park hosting Clifton Springs. Their two previous matches have been fiercely-competitive. Hamlyn Park took the first at home, but barely, with a four-game advantage at three-sets-all.

Clifton Springs showed they could match it with the ladder leaders in the return visit, winning 4-2 in round 14. Moolap will host Grovedale in the Section 2 men, where the teams will meet for the first time due to their three home-and-away matches being cancelled amid lockdowns. The same scenario has played out in Section

5 where Grovedale and Leopold will play to determine who remains undefeated for the season to win the flag. The undefeated Bannockburn look hard to beat in Section 4. All Saints will hope to knock them over but, following a 0-6 loss to the minor premiers earlier in the year, they will need something special to get over the line. In the Section 1 mixed grand final the undefeated Grovedale face Barwon Heads, with third-placed Newcomb ruing the latest lockdown, which has caused the side to miss its chance at a premiership on percentage alone. Grovedale won 4-2 in its only clash with Barwon Heads all the way back in the opening round. But Barwon Heads won its two sets 6-0, with Huon Bertino dominating. Bertino and his comrades will need to find a way to improve the overall result and neutralise Jai Bosnjak, who is yet to drop a set this season. Moolap and Grovedale Black will both like their chances in the Section 2 mixed final, with both teams taking one of their two matches. Their encounters have been close with

Moolap taking the round 1 clash 4-2, and Grovedale getting over the line by four games with sets tied in the sides’ other encounter. The Section 3 final could have been very different, with Wandana Heights jumping from fourth to first in the final round of the season. They finished ahead of Centre Court by percentage, and will need to continue their good form to get over Centre Court, who took the sides’ only match in round 3, 5-1. Section 5 mixed is difficult to pick, with Anglesea and Newcomb finishing equal on points and Newcomb winning their last match by just two games. But the Anglesea players have shown they are not to be underestimated after a 6-0 clean sweep against Newcomb in their first encounter. Moolap will like their chances against ladder-leaders St Mary’s in Section 4, after they took the first match 5-0 prior to a weather stoppage. But the sides drew in the return match in round 9, with Moolap coming back after a slow start, indicating the final could still be a close affair.

Joel Selwood trains with the Cats at East Fremantle Oval ahead of his club-record-breaking game tonight.

(Cats Media)

Top Cat cements legacy By Luke Voogt Leading the Geelong Cats into a do-or-die semi-final is a fitting way for ‘Captain Courageous’ Joel Selwood to break the club’s all-time games record. Selwood is set to break former teammate and current Cats assistant coach Corey Enright’s games record tonight against GWS Giants after last week’s qualifying final loss. “We’ve been in this situation before where we’re going to have to grind it out a little bit,” the 33-year-old told a press conference in Perth on Monday ahead of the semi-final. Selwood described himself as “fortunate” to play 332 games at Geelong Cats, a club he grew up supporting in Bendigo. His 332 games, including three premierships, is even more remarkable given he had undergone multiple knee surgeries as a junior player prior to the Cats selecting him at pick seven. “It’s pretty special being here for a long time, 22 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 3 September, 2021

but it also says that I’ve been in good health for a long period of that time,” Selwood said. “It’s been a ride that I’d love to do all over again and experience all the highs that I’ve had. Hopefully, I’ve still got a couple of highs left.” But he would have had a few more games to go for the record if he had managed to convince Enright to play on. Selwood remembered having a drink with ‘Boris’ just after the end of the 2016 season, at the bottom of an apartment block where Selwood lived at the time. “He told me he was going to finish up,” he said. “I told him to take a bit more time because I still thought he had some run in the legs and wanted him to keep playing on. “I think he had made up his mind with his wife Renee and family – it was just his time, he said. “He went out an All-Australian – that’s why I still thought he had run in his legs. And he was a hell of a player.” Selwood admitted the record had “crept up” on him and thanked players, physios, doctors

and club staff who had helped him get to where he is today. “I’ve loved coming in and working, not only come the weekend but throughout the week with a lot of good people,” he said. “It probably won’t be a record that will last for too long. I’m sure someone else will break it – big Hawk’s [Tom Hawkins] going so well at the moment.” But Selwood said his focus was now firmly on the Giants after the Cats’ qualifying final loss to Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval last week. “We’re a pretty competitive bunch,” he said. “For a lot of us that played poor on the night – and there was a number of us – we were a bit angry at the way we performed. “We played poor. We didn’t have a lot of winners on the night but what we do is we set ourselves up for a second chance. “We don’t look back too much ... we’ve reviewed the game for what it was. “We’ve got a little bit of work to do together but we’re pretty focussed on the job at hand.”

Organisers have cancelled the Australian Indigenous Surfing Titles at Bells Beach for the second time in two years due to COVID-19. Surfing Victoria on Tuesday morning announced the organisation had made “the difficult decision” to cancel the 2021 event amid the latest Victorian and NSW outbreaks. The championship was due to take place at Bells Beach from September 10 to 12 after being postponed from earlier in the year due to a previous Victorian lockdown. “We are shattered to have to cancel this incredible event for the second year running,” Surfing Victoria chief executive Adam Robertson said. “The event is a true gathering of Indigenous surfers from around Australia on Wadawurrung country, however the health and safety of competitors, staff and the community is our top priority. “Thank you to all competitors and event partners for their patience and understanding. We look forward to seeing everyone return to Bells Beach in 2022.” Three quarters of competitors had already made the trip to Victoria when state government announced a lockdown in May, forcing organisers to postpone the event in September. Organisers had already cancelled the event in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions at the time. A Surfing Victoria fundraiser to help competitors with their travel costs will remain open until next year’s event. Surfing Victoria is aiming to raise $25,000 to be split equally across the field, in order to subsidise travel expenses for the next event and help alleviate some of the financial burden.

SPORT

Cameron raring to face old side By Luke Voogt Star forward Jeremy Cameron has declared himself fit and “keen for a big performance” ahead of tonight’s game against his former GWS teammates. Cameron assured a press conference on Tuesday he was in good shape after multiple hamstring injuries earlier this year resulted in him missing a large part of the season. “I actually pulled up really, really well and I have for a number of weeks,” Cameron said. “I felt like I was ready to go about three weeks [after the most recent injury]. “As a player, I hate watching football, I just want to be out there playing with the boys. “We held back an extra three weeks and I had six weeks off – from that moment onwards, I have felt cherry ripe.” And the banter has begun with his former teammates after the Giants thrilling one-point

win over Sydney last weekend, Cameron revealed. “It was intense, it was a great game to watch,” he said. “I had a cheeky message from Stevie J via Instagram, I thought that would be coming actually, and I’ve spoken to a couple of the other boys since. They’ll be wanting to come out firing like they have – they’ve had a really good month of footy. “I’m sure there is going to be a few words said out on the field but it’s all part of [the game] and it adds to the excitement. “I have got plenty [of sledges] in the memory bank but I don’t know if I will use too many.” Cameron said he reached out to star Giant Toby Greene, whose brain fade bumping into umpire Matt Stevic last Saturday resulted in a suspension ruling him out of the finals. “He’s a really close mate of mine, Toby, and I reached out to him a couple of times yesterday but I know he had a lot on his plate, so we sort

of missed each other,” he said. “I’ll continue to support him as a close mate.” Greene’s suspension is a huge loss for GWS, but it could also galvanise the Giants. “Another player is going to come in for the Giants and we’ve got to make sure we play our best football and not focus on them too much,” Cameron said. “It’s more about what we can do and what we can control, and go from there.” The Cats forwards will need to contend with Sam Taylor, who held Geelong’s top goal-kicker Tom Hawkins to just one major in the sides’ last clash. Taylor could also play a similar role to Aliir Aliir, whose intercept marking helped contain Geelong’s scoring last Friday. “Every team you come up against these days has a player who likes to drop off and take marks in front of the opposition,” Cameron said. “Limiting those [intercept marks] is a key

part of the game each and every week, not just in big finals. [Taylor] played a lot of pre-seasons on me when he was young, so he knows the way I play. Whether he goes to Hawk or comes to me, we’ll have to wait and see. I didn’t show him all my tricks, I made sure of that.” The Cats will aim to “sharpen up” after dropping marks and uncharacteristic fumbles last Friday, which only increased Port Adelaide’s pressure, according to Cameron. “We weren’t as clean as we’d like to be,” he said. “[When] you improve on that, it’s amazing how everything else seems to flow off the back of it. We know what we can do when we play our best footy. “When it’s an elimination … there’s a lot on the line and it brings the best out of a lot guys. “Myself, when your back’s up against the wall, that’s when you seem to want to play your best football and you really knuckle down and galvanise. We are looking forward to that.”

Grand final is headed west

Touhy back to bolster Cats backline Zach Tuohy is set to return in boost for Geelong’s semi-finals hopes amid the absence of fellow Irishman Mark O’Connor and fellow defender Tom Stewart. Tuohy acknowledged the GWS Giants were “dangerous” ahead of tonight’s do-or-die game, even without their leading goal-kicker Toby Greene, who was suspended for three weeks for umpire contact. “He’s one of the most dangerous players in the competition – but unfortunately for us they’ve got quite a few of them in their side,” Tuohy told a press conference on Wednesday. “I’m sure they’ll miss him, but we’re fully aware they’re a highly-competent side without him.” The Cats suffered a 19-point upset in their previous clash with the Giants in round 21. “We allowed them to move the ball far too quickly on that occasion, so that will be a focus,” Tuohy said. “They’re a little bit Richmond-esque in terms of how they play and we saw just how dangerous they can be just a few weeks ago.” “They’re a quality side who, when they’re

given it on their terms, are basically impossible to stop.” But Touhy indicated the Cats were more focussed on aspects of their own game they needed to improve, including their own ball movement, after last Friday’s loss to Port Adelaide. “Generally, most of the focus most weeks is on yourself, and you tweak your game plan at the edges to accommodate what the opposition’s going to throw at you,” he said. “Every top side we’ve seen for a long time now has more or less played their game and not worried too much about the opposition. “But it’d be naïve to not tinker a little bit to try to accommodate their strengths. “You don’t need much more motivation for a game than it being knockout,” he added. Tuohy returns after missing three weeks due to hamstring issues, with defensive midfielder O’Connor suffering a hamstring tear in Geelong’s loss to Port Adelaide. “It feels like it’s been a while and I’ve had a pretty good run with injury, generally, over my career, but three weeks is more than long enough,” he said.

Tuohy expected to continue to split his game time evenly between wing and halfback, with “maybe a little more time in the back half” in the absence of backline general Stewart, who is recovering from foot surgery. Geelong Cats have also indicated explosive midfielder Patrick Dangerfield will start against GWS, after playing with a hand fracture against Port Adelaide. “He’s played with a number of injuries throughout his career so it’s not something new to him,” Cats captain Joel Selwood said earlier this week. “It’s quickly forgotten about in the heat of battle, I can tell you about that, the adrenaline will get to Patty and he’s a professional. He’ll deal with it.” Selwood also responded to AFL legend Leigh Matthews’ criticism of Dangerfield’s finals performances. “I don’t know how closely Leigh’s looked at his games,” he said. “Being a teammate of Patty, he’s one that I want to take to the field with come finals time.”

The AFL and state government have confirmed Optus Stadium will host the 2021 grand final following weeks of public and industry speculation the big game would move west to Perth. AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan made the long-anticipated announcement on Tuesday, thanking football fans across Australia for their patience and support. “Today’s announcement is not what any football-loving Victorian wanted to hear but the health and safety of the wider community has been a priority throughout this season and must continue to be the priority as we all navigate through this pandemic,” McLachlan said. “We will be back at the MCG, bigger and better in 2022. “I do want to acknowledge our supporters who have stuck by the game and stuck by their clubs in record numbers throughout the uncertainty this year. The connection they have with their clubs is unmatched in world sport.” The announcement comes with Victoria’s current outbreak unlikely to abate in time for the MCG to host a significant or indeed any crowd for the big game. The grand final will take place on September 25, with the AFL yet to announce timings for the first bounce. McLachlan thanked both the Victorian and Western Australian governments for their support. “Season 2021 has proved to be really challenging on many fronts, and we wouldn’t have reached this point without the support of all state and territory governments across the year,” he said. “The announcement today gives us the clarity and time needed to deliver the competing clubs and fans the best grand final experience possible, whether that is in stadium for those in WA [or] for millions of fans around the country, and indeed the world [watching the broadcast].” “Western Australian footy fans are as passionate as any in the country and the stadium in Perth, with a capacity crowd of 60,000 in attendance, will be a great spectacle, not only for the city of Perth but for all footy fans around the world.” All players, officials and staff would continue to adhere to Western Australian government protocols while in the state, McLachlan said.
