Premiership dreams became a reality for Williamstown on Sunday. (Shawn Smits).

Seagulls celebrate flag By Lance Jenkinson Williamstown is awash in blue and gold as it celebrates a sweet 16th VFA/VFL premiership. The Seagulls routed Box Hill Hawks by 54 points in a lopsided VFL grand final at Etihad Stadium on Sunday to claim their first flag since 2003. But this was one of the Seagulls’ greatest premiership triumphs, as Williamstown is a stand-alone club in a competition filled with AFL-aligned heavyweights. The Seagulls proved you don’t have to be a

full-time footballer to succeed at this level, but you do need to put in the hard work long after clocking off from your day job. Seagulls coach Andy Collins praised the playing squad for the sacrifices they had made since the start of preseason. “I just love them; they’re a really good group,” he told Star Weekly. “It’s a real credit to the guys that they also work hard away from the footy club.” Williamstown is the second stand-alone club to win the VFL premiership in five years, following in the footsteps of rivals

Port Melbourne. The Borough provided the blueprint for success for stand-alone clubs in the competition. “They showed us a model we could replicate and that’s what we were able to do today,” Collins said post-match. It was the second premiership as a coach for Collins, who played in three VFL/AFL premierships with Hawthorn after leading Sandringham to the VFL title in 1997. “To do it 18 years later as an older gentleman, is outstanding,” the 50-year-old said. In an incredible gesture, Collins gave up

his premiership medallion to injured Seagulls player Ben Bese. Bese broke his collarbone in a preliminary final collision that ruled him out of the decider. “It’s all about the players and the squad,” Collins said. “There’s always an unlucky person who misses out. “He would’ve played today, so I think it’s only the right thing.” ■ For

Meters hurting trade By Benjamin Millar Yarraville Village traders say they may have to axe staff or even close their doors because of the damage parking meters have done to their businesses. Dominic’s Fruit owner Mustafa Elhaouli said he had suffered a 40 per cent drop in trade since Maribyrnong council introduced the meters on August 28. “As soon as they put the meters in my business dropped,” he said. “It’s not only me, it’s every business in Anderson or Ballarat streets. “People are going to Coles, where there’s free parking. I’m sure the council want to kill Anderson Street and the Village.” Mr Elhaouli said it was the biggest crisis his business had faced in 14 years and he could

no longer sustain six staff. “I will have to let a few people go,” he said. “I don’t know if the business can manage more than one or two more months. The council doesn’t listen to anyone.” Kylie White, who owns Yarraville Village Old Style Butchers with husband Paul, said there was a sense of doom and gloom in the village. “There’s definitely a different feel,” she said. “A lot of the hustle and bustle is gone.” She said there was a lot of hostility towards the council over the meters and residents were asking why they couldn’t have parking permits so they could still support local businesses. Yarraville Traders Association president Chris Xanthis said the association was in the process of gathering feedback from all local businesses.

“There has definitely been an impact,” he said. “There are a lot of empty [parking] spots in the street and we’re certainly hearing that business has been affected.” The council installed 17 meters covering 97 parking spaces at a cost of about $120,000. And thousands more dollars have been spent repairing the machines after three separate acts of vandalism. The council expects the machines to return more than $200,000 a year, but traders say this is unlikely given the number of vacant spaces. Council chief executive Stephen Wall said a date for conducting a parking occupancy survey had yet to be set. “The revenue estimate is a conservative estimate, based on an assumption of 50 per cent occupancy of metered spots,” he said.

Snapper turns lens on hometown Photographer Harrison Moss is about to launch a project and book featuring images of the people and places that make Williamstown unique. The 22-year-old RMIT photography student, who attended Williamstown High School, will publish 30 of his images in a book under a project titled A Sheltered Harbour Harbour. His book of the same name will be on sale at a photographic exhibition opening at Footscray’s Ruffian Gallery in October. “Because I moved from Coburg to Williamstown when I was young, I’d always felt like an outside observer taking in his surroundings while growing up in this community,” he said. “As time went on, I grew a particular type of affection towards the peculiar characters and quiet environments found in Williamstown. “Williamstown was once a working-class society. Through a process of gentrification it’s now been transformed into a quiet and wealthy enclave, a town within a city. “Williamstown is a unique area, there’s nowhere else like it in Melbourne.” Moss says his photos aim to capture the suburb’s sleepy, seaside nature. “I’d always wanted to explore a body of work on Williamstown, but it wasn’t until I saw work by American contemporary photographers Alec Soth and Williams Eggleston that I was spurred on to take it further,” he said. “Much of the work explores that forgotten character of Williamstown, which should be adored and loved.” The exhibition opens at 6pm on October 23 and runs until November 6. Gallery hours are 3-6pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. For more information, visit harrisonmossphotography.com Goya Dmytryshchak

New car thrills hero’s family Helen Bertocci was speechless and numb when she got the surprise of her life this week. The Altona North woman whose husband was killed last December was overwhelmed at being given a new car. Roger Bertocci, 46, was fatally stabbed about 200 metres from his Knapp Street home after helping a pregnant woman allegedly being attacked by a man. He left behind Helen and their two daughters, Ashlee, 15, and Brylee, 2. Family friend Maria Maddox spent six months organising the surprise, knowing the Bertoccis needed a new car. “We had Roger and Helen over last grand final and there was a couple there who were going to sell their car,” Ms Maddox said. “When Roger and Helen arrived they saw this car in the driveway and then Roger said, ‘Once all the renovation’s done, once the house is all finished, we’ll think about getting a new car’. “And that just stuck in my mind and I thought, no, I need to do this for her, I need to grant Roger’s wish.” Werribee Nissan donated a Nissan Pulsar valued at more than $20,000 and company representative Patrick Tessier was on hand at the presentation. Mrs Bertocci said she was initially unable to move, but then enjoyed taking her new car around the block. “I’m going to take this in my stride and look to a brighter future for me and my girls, and it’s definitely Roger’s energy that’s bringing all these materialistic things to us, but I know that we’re making him proud as well,” she said. Altona Rotary Club, Jim’s Building Inspections and Keith the Blockinator have offered to do a makeover of Mrs Bertocci’s home and garden, and Hobsons Bay council is planning a memorial to Mr Bertocci. Jonathon Sporton, 21, has been charged with his murder and is due to face trial next March. Goya Dmytryshchak 1200712-DJ39-15

Tunnel vision riles locals By Benjamin Millar A decade of work revitalising Yarraville parkland would be destroyed by a proposed new truck toll road, according to angry residents and community groups. Friends of Stony Creek president Steve Wilson said Transurban’s revised plan to move a tunnel portal to within 200 metres of homes would devastate the Hyde Street Reserve, which the group has been working tirelessly to rejuvenate. “From what we’ve seen so far, we’re shocked about the whole thing,” he said. “It will cut the park into chunks. It’s the only public open space in this area. We’ve spent 10 years creating a park down there; it’s been a focus of a lot of community effort.” Star Weekly last week reported Transurban planned six new lanes connecting West Gate Freeway directly with Hyde Street to serve fuel tankers now using Francis Street and Williamstown Road to and from Mobil’s Yarraville fuel terminal and the Caltex Newport Terminal. Transurban said the change reflected feedback on its unsolicited $5.5 billion Western Distributor proposal, but residents argue it is driven by cost-cutting and revenue-raising. Concerned Locals of Yarraville spokesman, Scott Ellerton, who formed the group in response to the new plans, said hundreds of people would be directly affected. “We’re concerned with the noise aspects during construction and operation, as well as the pollution from truck fumes,” he said. “There is a shortage of open space in the inner-west. This looks like a decision that’s purely commercial.” The group has launched an online Change. org petition against the new portal location.

Transurban’s Southern Portal Discussion Paper says the relocated tunnel portal was “more straightforward to construct” and would have less impact during construction than a portal directly linking with the West Gate Freeway, as initially announced. “While the relocated portal and addition of Hyde Street on and off ramps does not require the acquisition of any homes, it has new impacts at Hyde Street Reserve and is closer to homes and businesses in this area,’’ the discussion paper says.

Men in Melbourne’s west will have a space to call their own when a new Men’s Shed opens in Tottenham, thanks to a $44,0000 grant. The Light Foundation’s Western Suburbs Men’s Shed is one of 15 being built around Victoria from $750,000 of state government grants. The Tottenham shed will be open to all men, with a focus on tackling social isolation and disadvantage among men from the diverse migrant community. Footscray MP Marsha Thomson said Men’s Sheds were safe and friendly spaces where locals could learn new skills, catch up with mates and give back to the community. State Families and Children Minister Jenny Mikakos said Men’s Sheds reduced social isolation and promoted social inclusion. “Men’s Sheds enable people to get together, work on valuable projects and forge strong ties with others in the community,’’ she said.

Bus attacks prompt service cuts By Adem Saban A series of attacks on buses at Seabrook led to the cancellation of two services on two separate occasions last week. ComfortDelgro Cabcharge group operations manager George Konstantopoulos said there had been 15 cases of rocks being thrown at buses, with 11 vehicles damaged along Allington Place at Seabrook since last month. The 496 and 498 services were cancelled

from 6.30pm on Thursday and Friday. The 495 and 497 services were also cancelled for a 48-hour period earlier in the week. These services run between Laverton and Point Cook or Hoppers Crossing via Seabrook. “When services resumed on Wednesday, the attacks continued,” Mr Konstantopoulos said. “We’re talking about rocks the size of cricket balls propelled through side doors and, on a couple of occasions, at windscreens. “There haven’t been any injuries yet, but if the attacks continue it’s only a matter of time.

“We have a duty of care, not only to our patrons on services but also the staff, who are now getting a bit nervous about driving on those services,” Mr Konstantopoulos said. The services were reinstated at the weekend and no further incidents were reported. “Thankfully, we got through unscathed,” he said. “For now, it’s business as usual. “But, if the attacks continue, we might need to exercise alternative options, such as ceasing services or possible diversions.

“We’ll need to have a conversation with Public Transport Victoria if the routes are too risky, and look at some route diversions,” he said. Altona MP Jill Hennessy met with Mr Konstantopoulos on Friday to discuss the incidents. “We fought hard to get this bus service for the local community,” Ms Hennessy said. “So, I’m really disappointed that people are targeting and damaging these buses like this.”

Residents plot a garden

1157676-AM41-14

Altona residents are growing fruit and vegetables on their nature strips and looking to start the suburb’s first communal garden. A new group called Altona Community Gardens (ACG) is putting together a financial and business plan to present to Hobsons Bay council in a bid to start a garden on public land. Altona resident and ACG president Aleisha Rasheed has been growing tomatoes, strawberries and other edible plants on her nature strip. “My backyard is all decking and sandstone tiles,” she said. “We don’t really have any land. My nature strip is massive; it’s the biggest piece of grass I have.” ACG committee member Peter Weaver said the proliferation of townhouses meant a lack of garden space. “A lot of people, like Aleisha, want their kids to experience that gardening aspect and where food comes from,” he said. “I’ve done a plot the

same size as [Aleisha’s] at my place and that’s prompted us to form our own group. “There’s so much arable land around Altona that’s under-utilised.” Mr Weaver said he hoped to start an orchard at Truganina Explosives Reserve in Altona Meadows and get businesses involved in community gardening. ACG vice-president Adeline Barham, who grows fruit and vegetables in her front yard, said a community garden was about bringing the community together. “There’s that feeling that people have lost their sense of belonging and community and togetherness and growing, sharing,” she said. Hobsons Bay and Maribrynong councils have no policy on vegetable gardens on nature strips, but neither allows plants higher than 50 centimetres on nature strips. Goya Dmytryshchak

Rival clubs fight over home turf By Goya Dmytryshchak Newport and Williamstown junior football clubs are embroiled in a stoush over the use of Langshaw Reserve in Altona North. Newport is accusing Williamstown of being greedy, but Williamstown says Newport is just being ‘‘sooky’’. More than 550 people have signed a petition to Hobsons Bay council calling for the reserve to be used as the second ground for Newport Power Junior Football Club, which has 10 teams in the Western Region Football League. Newport club president Stephen Martyn said Newport was the only club in Hobsons Bay with just one ground: Bryan Martyn Oval. “Altona North, Newport, is our catchment area,” he said. “What they’re trying to do is get that facility because of the clubrooms; Williamstown say their clubrooms aren’t good enough. “Williamstown’s been there for 70 years, the juniors, and all of a sudden they want to move into Altona North for the use of better facilities. “We just don’t understand why they need a fourth ground compared to us having one.” He said Williamstown was welcome share Change your existing 3 starto heater for facilities with Newport at Langshaw Reserve. the new 5 star heaterFootball and SAVE Williamstown Juniors Club up to president Michael Furlong said his club had Sam El Hawli, Ali El Houli, Bachir Barakat, Sam Kingston, Marwan Abouzied, Josh Kingston, Jordan Martyn, Stephen Martyn, Amani El Hawli $330 on your running costs. been offered Langshaw Reserve by the council. and Mona Melhem.

Reflections, one year on “The Leukaemia Foundation was pivotal in helping me to cope,” she said. “They really helped in providing details about treatments and side-effects, making decisions.” Although her cancer took a physical and emotional toll, Ms Halloran never stopped feeling love and support around her. “People really rally around you; my friends family and colleagues were all so supportive.” The keen long-distance runner is back on the track and getting her life back as well. “It’s time to go out and live life and do all the things I planned to do before I had cancer.” She said the foundation’s Light the Night walk on October 9, which aims to raise $1.5 million to help people cope, is a perfect time to reflect and consider how far she has come since this time last year.

Cancer was never part of Clare Halloran’s plans. She was 28, had just graduated from university with firm ideas of where her life was heading. But in January 2014, the Footscray resident was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. “There was just the shock and the fear of the unknown,” she said. “I had assumed I had all this time ahead of me, but suddenly your whole perspective changes and you’re fighting for your life.” Ms Halloran had six gruelling months of chemotherapy and has just celebrated a year in remission. She still attends a Hodgkin Lymphoma support group and is passionate about supporting blood cancer research and raising awareness of blood-related disorders and diseases. Ms Halloran credits the Leukaemia Foundation with providing her support when she needed it most.

Car theft hot spots identified By Goya Dmytryshchak Rosamond Road at Maribyrnong and Laverton’s Railway Avenue were the worst streets for car theft in the municipalities of Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay, data from the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council (NMVTRC) shows. NMVTRC figures released last week reveal 263 car thefts in Maribyrnong and 160 in Hobsons Bay during the past financial year. Most thefts were short-term, with cars stolen not for their value but for use in committing

other crimes, joyriding or transport. There were 192 short-term thefts in Maribyrnong and 105 in Hobsons Bay. The remainder of thefts were profitmotivated, which means the cars were never recovered. Rosamond Road. which includes Highpoint, recorded 11 short-term thefts and four profit-motivated thefts. Ballarat Road at Maidstone also recorded 11 short-term thefts and three that were profit-motivated. Other streets with multiple car thefts were: Geelong Road at Kingsville; Nicholson and Neil streets

The Maribyrnong car model most commonly stolen was the Subaru Impreza, followed by Nissan Skyline and Pulsar. Nissan Pulsar was the thieves’ car of choice in Hobsons Bay. Railway Avenue, Triholm Avenue and Bladin Street at Laverton were three of the worst hotspots for cars stolen, totalling 11. Other streets with multiple car thefts were Thorpe Street in Newport; Fourth Avenue and Blackshaws Road, Altona North; Alma

Avenue and Orville streets in Altona Meadows; Geelong Road at Brooklyn; and Westlink Court in Altona. NMVTRC executive director Ray Carroll said there were two simple steps motorists could take to reduce the risk of car theft – buy an engine immobiliser for vehicles made before 2001 and secure the keys of newer models. “In around 70 per cent of late-model thefts, the thief has been able to gain access to the keys,” he said. “It’s a trend we are seeing right across Australia.”

‘Fever’ not for drivers By Charlene Macaulay Police across the west will be out in force this weekend of footy finals ‘fever’ as part of a statewide blitz to cut the road toll. Operation Scoreboard starts Thursday and winds up on Sunday. Road policing adviser Ross Burbidge said officers would be looking for driving influenced by alcohol or drugs, distraction offences such as using mobile phones, and seatbelt security.

Police will hit the west’s roads en masse in both marked and unmarked vehicles, particularly on the major arterials. Traffic camera vehicles will also be rostered to roads identified as high-collision hotspots. “Road trauma isn’t just about the people who die,” Senior Sergeant Burbridge said. “It’s about the enormous impact on the community, from the family members to the emergency service workers who have to deal

with these tragedies on a daily basis, to the police who have to deliver the devastating news to loved ones. Police intelligence over the past three months shows that speed and alcohol and drug driving were among the leading causes of road trauma in this state. “All of the community has a responsibility and a role to play in reducing road trauma.” RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council chairman Jim Giddings said

drivers travelling over the long weekend should plan to include frequent breaks. He cautioned drivers to be patient. “It’s been demonstrated time after time that speed is a contributing factor in most road crashes,” Mr Giddings said. “So stay within the speed limit and drive to suit the conditions. “Speeding affects both the risk of a crash happening and the severity of injuries sustained when a crash does happen.”

Artist ‘fights’ for identity

Kabalan says the show is a quintessentially Melbourne creation, drawing on the bonds the city’s performers share. “The stories vary and the settings vary, but as human beings we all experience these divisions,” she says. For Kabalan, performance is a path to personal expression but also a means of exploring issues confronting people who don’t fit mainstream ideas of the norm. “There can be a lot of difficulty accepting things that aren’t normal or mainstream and a lot of prejudice can come from this. “I was born in Australia yet I’m constantly asked where I’m from. Occasionally people can’t accept a complex ethnic identity as just Australian. You have to fight for your right to be considered Australian.” Grand DiVisions will be at Arts Centre Melbourne, October 14-17. Tickets $17-$35. Book at Arts Centre Melbourne, 1300 182 183.

A Footscray performance artist will take to the stage this month to share tales of falling in and out of love with Australia. Ileini Kabalan will join a vast and eclectic range of performers for Melbourne Festival show Grand DiVisions, the third work in an Outer Urban Projects trilogy. The Australian-born performer of Tongan and Lebanese heritage uses story-telling and poetry to explore notions of identity. “I predominantly work with vocals, rap and spoken-word poetry,” she said. “All the stories in Grand DiVisions are about our experiences with divisions, such as class divisions.” Grand DiVisions features beat boxing, Indian tabla, darabuka, gospel, a string orchestra, a harpist, hip-hop and classical vocalists, along with contemporary dancers, rappers and spoken-word artists. The ‘urban cantata’ draws performers and musicians from across Melbourne and beyond, sharing tales of wealth and poverty, privilege and neglect.

Hearing loss affects thousands of Australians and getting quality advice you can trust is of the utmost importance. Active Audiology is an independently owned clinic whose audiologists pride themselves on offering unbiased advice and prescriptions to patients. Director, Cris Ivanidis is a qualified audiologist who has serviced Melbourne communities for over 15 years. Cris says there are two important points for clients to know when purchasing a hearing device. • It’s as important to find the right hearing provider as it is finding the right type of hearing aid. The success of a hearing device fitting is largely influenced by the expertise and experience of the audiologist who is fine tuning the device to the client. Regardless of how expensive a device is, its performance will be influenced by how well the audiologist has heard a client’s needs and translated them into the technical adjustments. • The choice of device technology is vast and overwhelming especially for those purchasing a device for the first time. With more than 60 models on the market, the most practical way to know what’s going to work, is to come in for an assessment and talk to one of the independent audiologists at Active Audiology about a few models which they would recommend. Hearing assessments and fitting digital hearing devices, including the ‘invisible’ devices from all six leading aid manufacturers, are among a wide range of services that Active audiology provides.

Williamstown Football Club has leased the function centre previously known as The Rocks from Hobsons Bay council. Seagulls president Trevor Monti said the Morris Street venue, which seats 280, had been renamed Williamstown Seaview Events Centre and would be more accessible to the community. Mr Monti said a new flexible pricing system would make the centre more affordable to the community. “It was leased to The Rocks, who specialised in quite expensive weddings and it was really closed to the residents of Hobsons Bay,” he said. “The Rocks proved unsuccessful so they departed and we sought to lease it. “We’re now making that beautiful facility – which has the most fantastic views of any facility in Melbourne by a million miles – available for sporting clubs, for organisations, for corporates, for residents. It has city views and views across to the Dandenongs.” The lease expires on June 30 next year. Goya Dmytryshchak

The Cub leader of the 4th Williamstown Sea Scouts has received Scouting’s third-highest award for distinguished service, the Silver Koala. Peter “Baggy” Ryan, 41, joined the Scouts when he was eight. He acquired his nickname when he was an assistant Cub leader and his designated character was Bagheera, the black panther from The Jungle Book. When he became leader, his character changed to Akela, the big wolf from the same book. But everyone still called him Baggy. Mr Ryan said the biggest award for him was seeing the children smile. “What I love most about Scouting is handing down the skills I got from my predecessors and putting that into practice with the kids,” he said. “The kids enjoy themselves. They’re happy and the parents are satisfied and that’s my biggest enjoyment: seeing big smiles on the kids’ faces.” He said Scouting had taught him selfrespect and self-reliance, along with outdoor and survival skills. Mr Ryan said one of his most challenging adventures was hiking at Cradle Mountain National Park in Tasmania, doing a 90-kilometre trek in summer “which almost killed me”. The 4th Williamstown Sea Scouts is the largest group in the Scout district covering Footscray, Altona and Williamstown. It has more than 100 members, including more than 30 Cubs. A room at the Scouts’ Williamstown clubroom is expected to be named in Mr Ryan’s honour.

RMIT University associate professor and Altona resident Mark Osborn (pictured) will present a talk on maritime pollution at an event hosted by Friends of Greenwich Bay. The grassroots group revegetates and helps care for coastal bushland near the boat ramp at the northern end of the Strand at Newport. Group member Maria McGuane said Mr Osborn would speak about the environmental impacts of plastic pollution on rivers and seas and about his team’s research on the issue. “Our local coastal marine habitats are precious,” she said. “We look forward to learning about how Mark’s research on plastic pollution and microbes can inform our work.” Over the past few months, local environment groups have been surveying litter, including plastics, in coastal areas of Williamstown and Newport. The talk is at 7.30pm on October 7 at Village Real Estate, 20 Hall Street, Newport. To RSVP, email greenwichbayfriends@gmail.com Goya Dmytryshchak

MY PLACE Heather Horrocks, Footscray writer, artist and community leader, has dedicated herself to revealing the true heart of the Footscray community for more than two decades. Benjamin Millar reports …

I make things. Using nanna-technology, I recycle and repurpose discarded material, currently black and blingy video tape. And I draw with simple materials: graphite and charcoal. Why? Because it makes me happy: it’s my activism, my meditation and how I make sense of the world. What is your connection to Maribyrnong? We came here over 20 years ago. It was just the name of a river and a suburb. Then, in 1997, Footscray was abolished [municipally-speaking] and my husband, Bill, became a councillor then mayor of the City of Maribyrnong. What’s your fondest memory of living here? So many: little kids from newly arrived families with Aussie accents in Bulldogs jumpers in Nicholson Street; people weeping with happiness at Australian citizenship ceremonies; the car-cruncher machine at a Big West Festival; Franco Cozzo on a red velvet chaise longue introducing local poets in the riverside open air amphitheatre, asking ‘Why you laugh?’ every time he said ‘Foot-is-cry’. Where is your favourite local place for artistic inspiration? Footscray arts precinct on the river: Arts Centre, BiGfiSh design workshop, a blacksmith and Happy River Café. All shapes and sizes of

artists hang out there: writers, musos, dancers, painters, you name it. You can hear new projects being cooked up, watch collaborations happen and see the results. What do you love most about the area? Its mix, its welcoming values, its history, its spirit – all nurtured and delivered by amazing people and local communities. Then there’s public transport, public art, street art, markets, the river, food, parks, Sun Theatre, Bunbury Street tunnel, Larissa MacFarlane’s prints, a full moon rising at night behind Melbourne’s buildings, the port . . . What do you think about the rapid pace of change in the area? That’s Maribyrnong. Used to be smoke stacks; about to be people stacks. Affordable housing made this area a starting point for many families over the years. No more. Even tiny old workers’ cottages are out of reach for newcomers. Small-footprint, high-rise apartment buildings will be the new entry point. They’ll have great views. Heather is encouraging women to knit socks as part of the ‘Women Wept’ Anzac Centenary project. During October, she will be knitting socks in Maribyrnong’s libraries, Williamstown’s Loom Room and other venues as a way of rediscovering the simple and personal stories about women on the home front during and after World War 1. Contact Heather on 0409 958 638.

FOOD REVIEW

CONSIDER THE SAUCE Kenny Weir finds a wonderful spot for a Sunday roast When Bennie was a just-born, I made my first property foray to the west with a view to finding somewhere for us to live. The CBD studio bachelor pad simply wasn’t cutting it any longer. House scouting required, of course, a coffee break. And I distinctly recall there wasn’t a lot of choice. In fact, I doubt there’s any more than a handful of businesses in the Gamon/Charles/ Victoria neighbourhood that are now as they were then. The chicken shop? Probably. But the area has certainly changed – a LOT. Our coffee stop that day – I may even have had a burger – was at a joint called the Bowser Cafe, which was housed in a rather ugly brown building that did little to hide its service station heritage. The Bowser eventually became Sabroso and I reckon the premises may have at some point before then housed another eatery of some sort. In any case, Sabroso passed us by, our sole visit being a coffee/hot choc stop while out enjoying a late-night amble. And now Sabroso is gone, replaced by a rebranding exercise called Charles and Gamon. From what I gather, the proprietors are the same, with the name change at least partially driven by a desire to distance themselves from the Spanish food that was previously served. C&G is doing a nice line-up of bistro-style food, including what look like really splendid midweek meals of comfort food for a fine $17.

CHARLES AND GAMON Address: 2 Gamon Street, Seddon Phone: 9689 0203 Not much appears to have changed apart from the name, though there is some vintage wood panelling about the place. Based on our outstanding Sunday roast lunches, C&G is doing good things. We’ve been roasting a bit lately, but the C&G meals really are the best we’ve had in the west. At $20, they’re a little more pricey than what’s available elsewhere, but from our first bite they erase any doubt about getting what we pay for. We consider our lunches a bargain. Both the roast chicken and slow-roasted lamb shoulder are abbreviated versions of dishes available at greater length and prices on the C&G menu’s “for the table” section. The chook is a slightly unappealing yellowkhaki, but it’s a cracker – moist, juicy, delicious, with good gravy and a touch of rosemary. The lamb is gorgeous – crusty, tender and, like the chicken, of good size. It’s the kind of lamb that wouldn’t be out of place in a really fine Greek eatery or a barbecue place. Our spuds are simply wonderful. These have been killer Sunday roast meals.

WESTERN DISTRIBUTOR DESIGN UPDATE Transurban has been talking to many different people and organisations about the Western Distributor, drawing on the knowledge and ideas of the local community and stakeholders to improve our proposal. We are now refining some elements of the Western Distributorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design. WHAT WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE HEARD SO FAR People told us that they would like to see more done to get trucks off local streets, greater improvements to traffic flow on the West Gate Freeway and more information about how the Western Distributor would connect with CityLink and other roads. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve published a consultation report detailing what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard so far on our website - consult.transurban.com.

open space, improve local amenity by removing overhead power lines and upgrade cycling and walking connections, including the Federation Trail - we would love to hear your ideas too. We are also looking at ways to reduce weaving and merging on the West Gate Freeway such as separating tunnel and bridge traffic and considering multiple options for connections to the Port of Melbourne.

REFINING THE PROPOSAL DESIGN

WHAT IS THE WESTERN DISTRIBUTOR?

Having listened to feedback and completed further technical work, some elements of the proposal design are being refined.

Transurban developed the Western Distributor proposal in response to congestion on the M1 corridor and predicted growth in Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west.

A key change is the relocation of the southern tunnel portal from the middle of the West Gate Freeway to industrial land north of the Freeway. This allows for new connections to Hyde Street which will help get trucks off local streets, particularly dangerous goods trucks such as fuel tankers. While no homes need to be acquired, it will involve new impacts at Hyde Street Reserve and surrounding areas. In response weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve identified some new opportunities to add to

A recent survey found that most mums and dads become more “relaxed” about the way they parent during school holidays, with many letting their kids stay up late and eat whatever they want.

LINDA MURRAY Western Bulldogs group relationships co-ordinator FB: How would you rate your cooking skills? LM: Very average – four out of10. FB: What is your signature dish? LM: At the moment it’s tuna pasta bake. I have a fussy four-year-old. If I had more time, I would put more effort in. FB: If you could only have one more meal, what would it be? LM: Chili, garlic and prawn pasta.

Once it was just your basic Cadbury Dairy Milk or Fruit and Nut. Now sophisticated variations of dark chocolate are all the rage, making many of us as snobbish about our chocolate as we tend to be about our coffee.

CELEBRATINGSENIORS WEEK Unlock home equity

With the 2015 Intergenerational Report predicting Australians will live longer and be poorer over the next 40 years, Bendigo Bank and Homesafe Solutions have called on the federal government to consider better ways for older people to support themselves. Branch manager of Bendigo Bank Seddon Graham Evans said the Homesafe Solutions program fits perfectly with the bank’s philosophy of providing genuine help to customers, treating their issues at a personal level without making them feel they’re just numbers. “Fortunately, the very high level of home ownership in Australia by retirees is a potential source of funding, which could be used to augment retirees’ incomes to fund a dignified retirement,” Mr Evans said. Homesafe managing director Peter Szabo said hundreds of thousands of retirees have equity in their homes that they could use, if they could minimise the risk and have certainty about the eventual outcome. Bendigo Bank and Homesafe offer a unique, debt-free home-equity release mechanism, which transfers the increasing longevity risk from the home owner to Homesafe. The program enables senior home owners to sell a fixed proportion of the future sale proceeds of their home in exchange for cash upfront. Homesafe can become a key part of the ‘fourth pillar’ of the retirement income system (namely home equity), and supports the other three pillars – the age pension, compulsory superannuation and voluntary savings (including noncompulsory superannuation). “It would be of immense help to those on the age pension, compulsory superannuation and voluntary savings schemes, including non-compulsory superannuation,’’ Mr Evans says. “Homesafe provides certainty, which is not available with debt products, such as reverse mortgages, because the risks are borne by Homesafe and not the home owner. “Unlike reverse mortgages, the home owner always gets to keep the share they have not sold, because it’s Homesafe taking the risk on property prices and longevity.” Mr Evans said his Bendigo Bank branch offers customers a local bank feeling, making it even for older people to talk with one of the team to get a full understanding of how everything works and what they stand to gain. Visit http://www.homesafe.com.au/news/3956 for further information. Bendigo Bank Seddon, 90-90A Charles Street, Seddon. Opens 9am-5pm Monday-Friday, and 9am-noon Saturday. Inquiries: 9687 2500.

Care counts in communities Research is predicting that, by 2050, there will be close to 900,000 Australians diagnosed with dementia. When compared to the 342,800 Australians currently living with the disease, this is a massive increase. September is Dementia Awareness Month, and this year’s theme is: Creating a Dementia Friendly Nation. The goal is to raise awareness of the disease and boost understanding of what it is like for a person to live with dementia, as well as encouraging communities to support those suffering from the disease. This year, Home Instead Senior Care has developed a national education program to help businesses become more dementia-friendly. The program is aimed at helping businesses through training and education to acknowledge dementia in their human relations. It also hopes to help those with the disease to make positive changes in their lives.

Martin Warner, owner of Home Instead Senior Care Australia, believes support and social inclusion are keys to helping those with dementia. “Awareness, understanding and acceptance of dementia is so important, but we want to take it a step further and put this understanding into practice,” Mr Warner said. “We assist businesses with changing their systems in regard to communication, lighting, signage and environment – all of which can have a huge impact.”

If you have an eligible property in Melbourne*, Homesafe Wealth Release can help you free up the equity in your home to use now. Homesafe isn’t a reverse mortgage.You receive cash today, then when you sell your home, Homesafe receives its agreed share. It changes nothing about how you live in your home, but it can change everything about how you live your life.

The program offers free 30-minute training workshops with Home Instead Senior Care educators, who teach employees and employers how to safeguard a dementiafriendly environment. Sessions cover how to identify someone with dementia and how to communicate and support them.

THRIVEGROWING GROWING YOUR BUSINESS

A STAR WEEKLY FEATURE

Follow your plans Do you want to expand your business, take a stand against competitors and achieve your business goals? Business planning is really a necessity and can be the key to success. And here’s why: 1. Financial planning: If your business is seeking finance, a business plan is an essential document. It outlines to lenders and investors why they should lend you money and also shows that your business should be taken seriously. Whether it’s a start-up or long-term operation, a business plan proves to potential lenders and investors why they should risk their time and money on your business venture. Branch manager at Bendigo Bank Seddon, Graham Evans, believes cash flow is the big issue and business planning can help with expansion. “At Bendigo Bank Seddon we look at the implication of cash flow, and through financial planning we can show you ways to improve your business. That may be through funding a new employee, a truck or even more space,” says Mr Evans. 2. Organisation and priorities: A business plan includes your overall business concept, strategies, target market and your products and services. Sticking to the plan can be a way in which you can achieve your long-term goals. “Business planning is linked to your goals. It gives you a benchmark and in time you can look back and see if you have met that benchmark,” says Mr Evans. 3. Control: A business plan will show you what your business can improve on. Employees can also provide their feedback on possible ideas and improvements. Taking the time to plan gives you control over the future of your business, helping enormously in the long run. “We challenge our clients to match the right products to their business so their true needs are met,” says Mr Evans.

With a permit for a double-storey townhouse, retaining the original weatherboard, this property offers its new owners a chance to have the best of both worlds. On a block of about 632 square metres, the existing house features original plaster cornices, art deco ceiling rosettes and polished floorboards. There are three bedrooms, potentially four, a separate front-facing lounge, a compact kitchen and meals area, and a laundry inside. The potential fourth bedroom could just as easily be used as a spacious store room. While it has been refurbished recently, there is plenty of scope for a modern makeover of this old gem, and any redevelopment will be better for a landscaper’s keen eye. A side driveway ensures plenty of room for off-street parking.

This gorgeous block-fronted Victorian retains many original features of its heyday, including beautiful leadlights at the front door and leadlight panelled sash windows. With intricate cornices and deep skirts, the interior maintains its period feel, with just the right touches of modernisation to open it up for contemporary living. The bedrooms are at the front of the house and have cast-iron fire insets with period timber mantels and surrounds. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and en suite. The living and dining rooms have been opened up, with the kitchen-breakfast room at the rear linked via sliding doors onto a beautiful return verandah, with a polished floorboards that makes for a great alfresco area overlooking the tastefully planted backyard.

Two living zones will appeal to families, but they’re not so vast as to overwhelm a couple. The front lounge room is a classic deco space overseen by the decorative ceiling with cornicing and rosettes. A cast-iron fireplace with period surrounds is the central focus of this homely space, and there’s an extra-large window with diamond leadlight. The room is separated by timber doors (with original handles) from the sitting room which again retains the property’s characteristics. It also has a cast-iron fireplace set in period surrounds. The rear open-plan family-meals area achieves just the right classic contemporary tone and is bright and inviting.

The north-facing orientation attracts plenty of light into the principal dining area. The kitchen, with granite benchtops, has a timeless appeal. The Smeg cooktop, a Smeg underbench oven, built-in pantry and breakfast bar are a great mix of aesthetically pleasing and practically equipped. There is a study and a bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs are the remaining three bedrooms, two with built-in robes. Double doors open to an expansive main bedroom with arched-entry window. The room showcases a gorgeous window and a huge walk-in robe and an en suite. There is also a toilet up here. From the downstairs dining area, double

glass doors open to a timber decked alfresco space overlooking the courtyard that has been perfectly designed for outdoor dining in landscaped surrounds. At the back, timber steps lead up to a self-contained studio, with 4m ceilings, floor boards, shower and toilet. On a block of about 749 square metres with drive-through access, this 1934 era property celebrates and pays homage to its heritage, incorporating the best of modern amenities. Certainly more than the sum of its parts, its legacy will be at least another 80 years in the making. Eleanor Tabone

NEW HOMES AND LAND – Folkestone Business owners have started snapping up the first release of self-contained offices, warehouses, showrooms and retail spaces – part of the exciting $120 million Millers Junction development. This modern shopping, homemaker and business precinct is on the former Cabot’s Coating site at 302-330 Millers Road, Altona North. Construction began last year and, since then, Bunnings Warehouse, JB Hi Fi, Officeworks, Repco and Aldi have all opened new doors. When completed, Millers Junction will be the largest shopping and business centre in Hobsons Bay. The business venture between Wilmac Properties and Folkestone has driven development of the new business park, a $35 million project that includes 74 units, designed for all types of businesses and budgets, with properties ranging from $275,000 to $740,000. For those who buy before construction, there’s the chance to save up to $30,000 on stamp duty, with the initial stages scheduled for completion by mid-2016. Three further stages are planned. Wilmac Properties director Chris Wilkins says the demand for business spaces is huge. “Initial demand has been stronger than anticipated,” Mr Wilkins says. “More than 80 per cent of stage one sold off-the-plan to local business owners and investors living in Altona, Newport and Williamstown. “And stage two has seen the release of 13 new units,” he says. “With more than 6000 businesses registered in Hobsons Bay, we identified significant demand from the small-business sector seeking to upgrade to an established and centralised business address.

Millers Junction is set to become the largest shopping and business centre in Hobsons Bay. (Supplied)

showrooms, retail or warehouse areas … and car parking spaces. Selling agent Glyn Bosisto said he was not expecting the first-release properties to sell so quickly.

“There is an overwhelming preference to own their own premises instead of renting,” he says. All spaces are two-storey with glass facades, air-conditioned offices,

55 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

SPORT Super Seagulls soar to VFL title By Lance Jenkinson Long before the timekeeper had pressed the button for the final siren, Williamstown players had a rare chance to kick-start their premiership celebrations while still in the heat of battle. Box Hill Hawks had lost their grip on the contest and faded in the rear-view mirror as the Seagulls lived out a dream final 20 minutes of Sunday’s VFL grand final at Etihad Stadium with six unanswered goals. They ended the big game 54 points in front, for the club’s first premiership since 2003 and their 16th in total. Even the Gulls’ assistant coaches were afforded the chance to clock off early, running down from the coaches’ box to congratulate senior coach Andy Collins and football manager Chris Dixon, who always stand side by side to give messages to their players from the bench. The early celebrations told the tale of the tape. This was a total dismantlement by the stand-alone Seagulls side over a near-fully professional Box Hill team. Collins was more than happy for the premiership party to start a little earlier than scheduled. “To enjoy the last 10 minutes of the game, it does allow you to savour it a little bit more,” he told Star Weekly. Williamstown had all the right ingredients to pull off what many felt was an upset victory. They had speed to burn, their skills were far superior on the day, and their pressure was pitbull-like. There is no chance of the Seagulls beating an outfit like the Hawks without an unwavering team ethos and they had a buy-in from all 23 players. “The benefit of going alone is that it’s the same blokes every week,” Seagulls defender Brad Mangan said. “You get a real good bond and get to jell together and learn how everyone plays. “We go to work, then we go to training after work, so to beat full-time footballers is an even better feeling.” Williamstown made a flying start, kicking five of the first seven goals to lead by 20 at quarter-time. Box Hill’s second quarter was its best and the Hawks got to within four points in time-on. But that was a close as they got. The Seagulls were brutal in the second half, slamming on a scintillating 11 goals to two to run out nine-goal victors. “At half-time it was game on,” Collins said. “The way our boys responded in the third quarter to some of the little alterations we made, I couldn’t be prouder of them. “It’s a real credit to all our coaching and

Williamstown players couldn’t contain their delight after the final siren. (Shawn Smits)

conditioning staff that we ran out the game.” Michael Gibbons was a worthy recipient of the Norm Goss Medal for best on ground. The lightning-fast youngster had 28 possessions and 11 clearances to be the standout onballer. “For a young boy to be able to stand up on that stage was outstanding,” Collins said. “He had good composure and great ball security.” Nick Meese was magnificent in the ruck with 29 hit-outs, while Ed Carr was a pressure machine, registering eight tackles to go with 22 touches. Leigh Masters sparked the Seagulls early and was perhaps the most consistent half-forward on the ground, although Scott Clouston has to be mentioned in the same breath as he presented all day with team highs in marks (nine) and inside-50s (seven, tied with Mitch Banner).

Banner, captain Ben Jolley, Willie Wheeler and Adam Marcon were ever-presents in the midfield. Banner was up and back all day with seven inside-50s and five rebound 50s demonstrating his incredible workrate. The Seagulls forwards relished the chance to play under the Etihad roof, with Dylan Conway and Anthony Anastasio producing miraculous goals. Conway, Cameron Lockwood and Andrew Gallucci led the way in the goalkicking, with three apiece. With a 12-year drought over, Collins has already started to look ahead. “The footy club prides itself on winning a premiership every decade,” he said. “We’ve got one now, but this is a real chance to have a nice era and drive stand-alone clubs into being a dominant force in VFL footy.”

Amid joyous scenes in the Williamstown rooms following the grand final win over Box Hill Hawks on Sunday, young midfielder Michael Gibbons and a member of the club’s training staff sat quietly behind closed doors to assess the state of the Norm Goss Medal winner’s ribs. Gibbons, jumper off and his two medals lying on the rub-down table to his side, was in clear discomfort while the trainer lurked with a stethoscope to provide a clearer reading of what was going inside the player’s body. To the untrained eye, there had been no sign of any injury for the previous 120 minutes, such was Gibbons’ ability to carve up the Hawks en route to best-afield honours. Perhaps the adrenalin of playing on the biggest stage allowed Gibbons to power through four tough quarters of football against a battle-hardened Hawks side, racking up 28

56 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

disposals, 11 clearances, five marks and a goal in one the best games of his short career. Only minutes earlier, Gibbons was in a state of ecstasy, hearing his name read out as the Norm Goss Medal recipient for best player on the ground. “It topped off the day, I guess,” he told Star Weekly. “You sort of dream about those things the night before but when you get to the game it’s all about just winning it with the boys. “I didn’t even consider the medal when they were calling it out.” Gibbons is just 20 and a lightweight, listed at 174cm and 70kg. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in speed, skill and an incredible appetite for the contest. Gibbons is just one of a number of young

rising stars in the Seagulls’ ranks. The balance of youth and experience in the side is tremendous and young and old have each other’s back. There are no cliques in the Seagulls team, just a togetherness that only stand-alone clubs get to experience. Gibbons was thrilled for one of the elder statesman of the team, captain Ben Jolley, to be able to win a premiership at the age of 29. “I spoke to Ben during the week and said, ‘Mate, I’m so happy we could win the prelim to give you another shot at a grand final’,” Gibbons said. “He said, ‘I’m so happy we won it for the younger blokes to experience playing in a grand final early in their career’.” Lance Jenkinson

Clouston thinks again after quitting footy In the build-up to Sunday’s grand final, Scott Clouston was convinced it would be his last game in the VFL. He officially entered retirement when he stepped onto the dais to receive his premiership medallion. But after playing a key role in Williamstown’s premiership glory, Clouston is reconsidering his decision and will sit down once the celebrations are over and make a clearer assessment of his future. “I might have to reconsider,” he told Star Weekly. “That’s one of the best feelings I’ve ever been a part of and to do it with the Williamstown guys and with such a history at the club is just fantastic. I’ll never forget it.” Clouston was a powerhouse for the Seagulls on the biggest stage. The centre half-forward picked up 12 possessions from a game-high nine marks and had seven inside-50s.

The 28-year-old exuded confidence in everything he did, although that was not the case in the week leading up to the game. Clouston had come off a disappointing preliminary final performance against Essendon when he managed just four touches and two marks. That was playing on his mind. “I was really worried,” he admitted on Sunday. “I really just wanted to contribute. It’s one of those things; you’ve got to prove something to yourself and to your teammates. “I pride myself on being a centre half-forward who presents and has the workrate and that’s one of the things I had to look at, to try to be a presence for the guys. I hope I did that today.” Clouston did that and more and the one-time Brisbane Lions-listed player was a constant thorn in the side of Box Hill Hawks’ key defenders. After all the stress of the day, Clouston

allowed himself to let the victory soak in late in the game, with the Seagulls so far in front on the scoreboard. “To win by that much and to win a VFL flag is unbelievable,” he said. “It was a surreal feeling to be that far in front.” It was Clouston’s second year at Williamstown after crossing from rivals Werribee and as a relative newbie he took a moment to see what it meant for club stalwarts Ben Jolley, vice-captain Cameron Lockwood and defender Peter Faulks to win a flag after so many years of trying. “I’m really happy for those three guys,” he said. “They’ve been a part of Williamstown for a long time. “Ben is a consummate professional, a superstar of the VFL, and I’m so proud for him that he’s a VFL premiership player.” Lance Jenkinson

Williamstown ruckman Nick Meese stands his ground against high-leaping Box Hill opponent Jonathon Ceglar. (Shawn Smits)

Meese magic lifts Gulls By Lance Jenkinson Nick Meese is the cult figure of Williamstown’s premiership team. The solid ruckman generates the most noise among doting commentators, the loudest cheers from the Seagulls fans and the biggest hugs from his teammates. Decked out in the No. 49 guernsey, standing at a small 197cm for a starting ruckman and weighing in around 105kg, Meese comes face to face with the most athletic, young up-andcoming ruckmen the AFL has to offer, and beats them most times. Meese, 27, is a smart operator, using strength and guile to win his taps. He makes the most of his undersize status by following up at ground level as well as any big man in the competition. “I’ve just got to get my hands dirty and play to my strengths,” Meese told Star Weekly. He was one of the standouts for the Seagulls in the grand final win over Box Hill Hawks on Sunday, managing 29 hit-outs against Jonathon Ceglar, who stands seven centimetres taller and

was in contention for a call-up to Hawthorn’s AFL grand final side. Meese finished with 13 possessions, nine clearances and five tackles, getting stronger as the game wore on. “It was just hard work. Ceglar is a great player and I just tried to do my best on him. I think I had a decent third quarter, which we all did, which really cemented our lead.” While the Seagulls depend on Meese to shoulder the bulk of the big-man duties, the ruckman depends on his partner-in-crime, Sean Tighe, to be able to run out the games. Tighe is a younger and athletic version, and dangerous as a resting forward. Their different styles make them ideal as a ruck tag team. “It’s not just me,” Meese said. “It’s because of him, it’s because of us two working as a team to overpower these monsters, that’s how we get it done. “When you come to the end of the game, when you collectively look at the ruck stats, we go all right.”

It must have been strange for Meese’s family to see him receiving a premiership medal at Williamstown. He got his start in the VFL at the Northern Bullants, offspring of the Preston Bullants, where his dad John, grandfather Reg, and uncle Adrian Marcon, father of Seagulls teammate Adam, played their football. With his former club’s alignment with Carlton, Meese saw better opportunities to ply his trade at Williamstown, a decision he wasn’t regretting on Sunday. While his teammates were starting their celebrations out on the ground, Meese only let the euphoria sink in once he had returned to the change rooms. “The boys were giving me a bit of stick. The whole way through the last term I was saying, ‘settle down, relax, it’s not done till it’s done’, and we were up by 50 points,” he said with a laugh. “I was just that paranoid that something could happen. It’s just starting to sink in now. It was huge, absolutely huge.”

Seagulls’ grand final player ratings Michael Gibbons (9 out of 10): Often scurrying away from packs at speed, the onballer racked up 28 possessions and 11 clearances to collect the Norm Goss Medal for best on ground. Nick Meese (9): The ruckman was proficient in the air and at ground level, accumulating 29 hit-outs through smart work and nine clearances with his follow-up at ground level. Ed Carr (8): Showed a willingness to work hard both ways, applying eight tackles and finishing with 22 possessions from the midfield. Leigh Masters (8): When the game was at its hottest, the half-forward was at his most dangerous, repeatedly presenting for teammates streaming upfield. Finished with two goals. Adam Marcon (8): Shone on the big stage with 22 disposals, six clearances and four tackles. Mitch Banner (7): A driving force with 23 of his 26 possessions actual kicks. Worked the ball well both out of defensive 50 and into attacking 50. Scott Clouston (7): Provided a target across half-forward all day. A game-high nine marks and seven inside-50s. Ben Jolley (7): The captain led by example, as he usually does, with 24 possessions and four tackles. Claimed his first VFL flag at age 29. Willie Wheeler (7): Scorching early with 18 touches, six clearances and four tackles in the middle. Jack Charleston (7): The pick of the Seagulls’ defenders; marked the aerial ball with confidence and was one of the prime ball-movers out of defensive 50. Anthony Anastasio (7): Created havoc on the forward line with 17 possessions and two goals, including potential goal of the year with a 40m snap over the shoulder from hard on the boundary. Cameron Lockwood (7): Got the ball 15 times, and efficient using it. Capped a strong game with three goals. Dylan Conway (7): Three team-lifting goals, including a crafty one where he turned Hawks opponent David Mirra inside out and threaded the eye of a needle from the boundary. David Fahey (6): A driving force out of the backline, particularly early when the game was at its hottest. Tim Currie (6): Took care of any long balls pumped into the Hawks’ forward line with timely spoils. Nick Sing (6): Never shirked an issue. Came off second-best in a heavy contest on the wing early in the third term. Finished with 15 possessions. Sean Tighe (6): Threatened a higher rating for his presentation across half-forward and pinch-hitting in the ruck, but kicked 1.3 and an out of bounds on the full. Sam Dunell (6): Took more of a back seat up forward after dominating all season. Finished with 13 possessions, six marks and four tackles. Andrew Gallucci (6): Made the most of his opportunities as a small forward to finish with three goals. Brad Mangan (6): The fullback kept his opponent in check and was dependable when the ball was in his vicinity. Peter Faulks (6): Aside from a rare dropped mark during Box Hill’s second term run-on, his leadership qualities were vital; just ask the teammates who played near him on the ground. Jack Johnstone (5): A quiet outing at half-back, though he performed whatever tasks were asked of him. Billy Myers (5): A learning experience for the 23rd man. Limited game time.

‘Early’ start keeps curators on their toes watering two-day clash with Werribee at Yarraville Oval, where David Wolfe will coach the Eagles for the first time against his former club. The Eagles will take on a slightly newer look, with Alex Hewat (Footscray Edgewater) and Brad Jones (Carlton) departing for Premier Cricket and English import Harry Finch not returning. But the Eagles are thrilled to unveil spinning all-rounder Nathan Allen, signed from Melton, and paceman Ross Veitch, from Werribee. Williamstown will host Oakleigh in its season opener at the Williamstown Cricket Ground, while Altona will entertain new boys Hoppers Crossing. In Premier Cricket, Footscray Edgewater will host Melbourne University in a one-day match at Merv Hughes Oval, starting at 10am. Lance Jenkinson

■ Congratulations to Williamstown on winning the VFL grand final against an AFL-stacked Box Hill Hawks on Sunday. Three years ago, with the Bulldogs alignment coming to an end, the Seagulls set about building a stand-alone team that would not only be competitive with AFL reserves teams but would make finals. The club has also won the Development League flag, so the Seagulls seem set for long-term success.

Big things are expected from Yarraville recruit Nathan Allen. (Damian Visentini)

Skipper a true leader By Lance Jenkinson The debate has raged all year … who is the best big man in Western Region Football League division 1? The umpires may have settled a score at the league’s presentation night when Hoppers Crossing Warriors’ ruckman Wayde Skipper took home the coveted Barry Priest Medal for best and fairest in the competition. The medal had started to earn a reputation as a midfielders’ award, with the last key position player to win it being Danny Jacobs in 2009 and the last ruckman Brad Julier in 2008. But with 20 votes, Skipper finished five clear of Deer Park excitement-machine Kwame McHarg and Altona’s ever-present midfielder Jordan Robbins, and confirmed Warriors’ coach Steven Kretiuk’s belief that Skipper is the pre-eminent big man in the competition. Skipper felt no pressure going to the count, but thought he would be in the picture. “Knowing I played the full year and coming close last year, I knew that I could get some votes, but I didn’t think I’d get that many to win it,” he told Star Weekly. What makes Skipper such a valuable commodity for the Warriors is his mobility. Not only does he get the job done in the ruck, he’s also damaging around the ground as a strong marking option and is competitive when the ball hits the deck. The 32-year-old veteran kicked 33 goals from 19 games this season. The modernday ruckman is implored to do more than just offer first use, and Skipper ticks all the boxes. With a medal around his neck and a proud smile, it meant a lot for Skipper to deliver for his young teammates. The individual accolade was a byproduct of his willingness to lead by example, on and off the field. “They can rely on me every week to get what they do out of me,” the Point Cook resident said. “When it comes to footy, I’d rather be out on the track than doing a boxing session or sitting on the bike. “That’s what’s been built into my footy life, having that commitment to footy, and it makes the young blokes realise that it doesn’t matter how old you are, you’ve got to step up for training and put the work in, and be there every training session.” Skipper, a former Western Bulldogs’ player and Port Melbourne VFL premiership winner, has a burning desire to lift Hoppers Crossing to its first premiership since 2004. In his two years with the Warriors, Skipper has seen vast improvement in the side’s fortunes. “When you get to this age, you realise what this game is all about,” he said. “It’s not just about playing footy, being the best player or getting a kick … it’s about winning a flag. “That’s why we’re here and that’s why we’re playing next year.

IN THE DOGHOUSE

■ Wayde Skipper capped off a fine year in the WRFL by winning the Barry Priest Medal last week. Skipper, 32, has had an interesting football career since being drafted by the Bulldogs in 2000. He played 45 games in 10 years at Whitten Oval and more than 50 games with Werribee before joining Hawthorn for a season (15 games) and then Port Melbourne, where he was part of the 2011 premiership side. Hoppers coach Steve Kretiuk, a former teammate, was instrumental in getting Skipper to Hogans Road where he has starred for the past two seasons. The Alan Smith Medal for best second division player went to Wyndhamvale’s Devan Ellis, and the third division Ron and Thelma Angwin Medal was won by Parkside’s Ben Ashman. Altona’s Brett Miller won the award for best division one reserves player for the fourth year in a row. Local footy will look a bit different next year with the introduction of the points system and the changing of the ages from under-16 and under-18 to under-17 and under-19. ■ Sad to see Port Melbourne Colts moving from the WRFL to the Southern Football League in 2016, although it makes sense. Colts have struggled to build a junior program of any substance over the past few years, and why would parents want to drive their child from Port Melbourne to, say, Manor Lakes when all SFL games are probably within a 10-kilometre radius? Without juniors, clubs have to recruit from outside and in a players’ market that means big dollars. Colts have recently provided the league with some of its best players: Brett Jacobs, Jason Clarke, Brad Julier, Blake Twomey, Stacey Massis . . . the list goes on. ■ Hoppers Crossing Football Club is trying a new fundraiser – a Hot Rod and Classic Car Show this Sunday at Werribee Racecourse from 8am-4pm. Funds raised on the day will go to the football club and the E.J. Whitten Foundation. Entry is by gold coin donation and if you want to show your car or bike, you can for a nominal fee. Contact John Culhane 0488 9891 705 or johnculhane29@gmail.com.

Pressure is on curators across the west to have grounds ready for an unprecedented pre-AFL grand final start to the cricket season. Players in Premier Cricket and Sub-District will start their seasons on the new Friday public holiday to ensure cricket doesn’t lose a weekend of play because of the October AFL grand final. Yarraville will head into the summer of cricket with greater expectations than any other time in the past decade. The Eagles are coming off a finals appearance last campaign and looking to build from there, although the tough south-west group has been dubbed Sub-District’s ‘group of death’. “We’re well aware it’s going to be a tough group,” Eagles captain Matthew Love told Star Weekly. “We’re under no illusion that making the finals this season will just happen for us. “It’s a good challenge. It’s always enjoyable coming up against the good sides and seeing where you’re at.” Yarraville opens its season with a mouth-
