Bacchus Marsh booms By Ewen McRae Bacchus Marsh property prices are experiencing the biggest rise in Melbourne, according to new data. With many areas of Melbourne seeing a rise in house prices in recent months, Bacchus Marsh has experienced median house price rise of 9.9 per cent, according to Domain’s House Price Report for the September quarter, released last week. The rise was the largest of any Melbourne suburb, with Bacchus Marsh rising to a new media house price of $527,500. Fellow western suburb Cairnlea had the second biggest rise in the state, lifting its median house price 6.6 per cent to $780,000, while Darley was up by six per cent to a median of $600,000, making up the top three rises.

The pace of the increase will slow down

Gum’s red reinvention When a sugar gum at the Melton Botanic Garden died at the start of the year, the Friends of the Garden saw a chance to do something different. Instead of chopping it down, they painted the tree a vibrant red, something that has not gone unnoticed to visitors to the garden as the year has rolled on. Friends of the Melton Botanic Garden president John Bentley said it had created a talking point, and an extra attraction for the garden. “We painted it aloe red, and it’s in the Southern African Garden in the aloe and succulents section, so it fits in nicely,” Mr Bentley said. “Most of the aloes flower this same red colour so we thought it would make a nice feature piece. “It’s a bit of a talking point, a good meeting point, and when you drive down Lakewood Boulevard it really does stand out. “It’s become a favourite part of the garden now.” The tree’s transformation is not complete – the lower parts will be painted with Southern African animals by the Artist Collective of Melton. “It also lends a bit of artwork to the garden so that’s nice,” Mr Bentley said. “I’m not sure if we’ll do something similar down the track, but you never know.”

- Shane Oliver The recovery follows a 10.7 per cent drop in median house prices for all of Melbourne from the peak in December 2017 to the trough in March, an average fall of $94,391. Domain research analyst Eliza Owen said the results showed Melbourne’s property market cycle, and rises or falls in prices, started in the inner suburbs. “Melbourne has a very distinct growth pattern, which starts in the inner east and finishes on the fringes,” Ms Owen said. As outer suburbs had peaked later than inner Melbourne, she said home owners might see some future price falls, but they would not be as significant as those in the inner suburbs. While the news is good for current homeowners, things would now be tougher for those looking to get into the market, especially first-home buyers, AMP chief economist Shane Oliver said. Dr Oliver predicted house price rises would continue in the short term before slowing. Australia’s economic uncertainty and lack of consumer spending would have an impact on house sales, he said. “The pace of the increase will slow down – not straight away but in the next six months,” Dr Oliver said. – with Melissa Heagney (Domain)

New mayor of Melton By Ewen McRae Councillor Lara Carli is the new mayor of Melton, after holding off a strong challenge from incumbent Bob Turner at last week’s mayoral election. Cr Carli, who has served as deputy mayor for the past 12 months, will hold the role for the final year of this council’s term ahead of next year’s council election. Three candidates were nominated for mayor: Cr Carli, Cr Goran Kesic, and departing mayor Cr Bob Turner. Cr Kesic was eliminated from contention after the first round of voting, with Cr Carli

eventually winning the position, by five votes to four. With her family in the gallery, Cr Carli said she was honoured to be elected to lead the council for the next year. “I thank my fellow councillors for placing their trust in me, and I look forward to serving my mayoral term with a high standard of integrity, transparency and accountability, and to ensure we act responsibly in meeting the needs of our community,” Cr Carli said. “These are exciting and challenging times for us in the City of Melton, and I am grateful to have the privilege to lead this strong and committed team moving forward.

“We as a community face many challenges. An ever increasing influx of families into our municipality demands us to deliver appropriate services and infrastructure, so it is therefore incumbent on all of us to promote our fabulous city and ensure that we as a community receive our fair share of funding from both state and federal governments.” Voting for deputy mayor was equally tight, with Cr Steve Abboushi and Cr Michelle Mendes both nominated for the position. Cr Abboushi was elected by a single vote. Cr Abboushi thanked his fellow councillors, council officers, and his family for their support as he accepted the position.

Sky is the limit for model planes Melton aircraft enthusiasts and families looking for fun are in for a treat this Sunday. The Melton Model Aircraft Association will hold its annual open day on its Faulkner Road flying field, with a variety of winged flying machines taking to the skies. While conventional large-scale aircraft, war-birds, jets and other models will be among those on display, unorthodox models such as a two metre flying iron will also be launched, among other special displays. Open day organiser David Axon said it was

the association’s biggest annual event. “We’re there to show the public what we do and give them an entertaining day,” Mr Axon said. “Being a community organisation, we want to show the people what we do during the year, and we always do it the day after the Djerriwarrh Festival so it makes a fun family weekend. “We’re getting more people along each year.” One of the highlights each year is the lolly drop – children are invited out onto the runway, and a model aircraft dumps lollies

from above. Entry to the event is free, with food and drinks for sale on the day. Mr Axon said there would be opportunities after the day for anyone wanting to join the club to come along and give it a try. “We don’t let people fly them on this day, but if they’re keen I’ll call them on a nice day and they can come and have a go,“ he said. Details: David, 0409 942 113

Train commuters will get the chance to have their voices heard, with a new survey calling for feedback on stations and services across Victoria. The biennial survey from the RACV will be used to inform future decisions on upgrades, service improvements, and commuter needs. Transport, planning and infrastructure manager Peter Kartsidimas said it was a chance for rail users to give direct feedback. “RACV’s 2019 On Track survey gives all Victorians a chance to be heard and improve our train network,” Mr Kartsidimas said. “Train users can tell us what they really think. What is the state of your local station? Does it need repairs? Do you feel safe? Is there enough parking? “We also want to know if your train is overcrowded, frequently late or regularly cancelled.” The survey results will be used in RACV campaigns for rail improvements where they are most needed. “The results of this survey can help us directly influence future planning and improvements in rail facilities,” Mr Kartsidimas said. The Ballarat train line has recently undergone a major upgrade to stations and services, including a new station at Cobblebank which is set to open next month. The survey is open for responses until November 20. Details: www.racv.com.au/ ontracksurvey Ewen McRae

A greener outlook

Cash boost for sports clubs

By Ewen McRae

The growth of female sports participation is set to bring a financial windfall for several local clubs, after a state government funding announcement last week. As part of the latest VicHealth Active Sports grants program, the Bacchus Marsh Netball Association, Ballan Cricket Club, and Melton Dragons Basketball Club will each receive $3000 to help increase their female participation. Minister for Health Jenny Mikakos said the grants are a vital way to support more women and girls to get involved in community sport. A total of $737,00 was given to local clubs across Victoria as part of the latest round of grants. VicHealth chief executive, Dr Sandro Demaio said Active Club Grants are designed to give Victorian sporting clubs the boost they need to ensure they can support their community to be more active. “We know that for many sporting clubs new equipment, a subsidised membership or funding for coaches could be the difference between having a team or not,” Dr Demaio said. “While there is a growing number of women who are looking to step onto the field and join a club, there are still less opportunities for women and girls to play and participate in sport, which is why we’re supporting as many clubs and teams as possible.”

Waste sent to Melton’s landfill has almost halved since July, following upgrades to the Melton Recycling Facility. Melton council joined with the state government last week to officially open stage one of the Melton Recycling Facility redevelopment, and celebrate the waste reduction. The $2.1 million works were the result of $1.7 million council funding and $374,000 from the state government via the Resource Recovery Infrastructure Fund.

‘‘

A greener future is already a reality

’’

- Bob Turner

The upgrade has allowed more reusable and recyclable material to be recovered, using a new bay for sorting construction and demolition debris, and improved signage helping residents to better separate materials. Former mayor Bob Turner said the council was committed to making environmental sustainability a priority. “At council, we strive to limit how much waste is added to landfill and make recycling and waste disposal easy and cost-effective,” Cr Turner said. “This upgrade has considerably boosted our ability to reuse, recycle and divert material from landfill. It’s a massive achievement and we’re thrilled to be leading the way in ensuring environmental sustainability for future generations. “A greener future is already a reality for the City of Melton.”

Outlook Environmental chief executive Sam Sondhi and former mayor Bob Turner officially opened the upgrades to the Melton Recycling Facility last week. (Supplied)

The upgrades included a new gatehouse and dual weighbridge to help the council better manage waste and plan for future waste solutions by accurately measuring how much goes to landfill and a new street sweeper drop-off bay created an environmentallyfriendly way to separate and treat water from waste collected in street cleaning.

Planning for stage two of the redevelopment will begin in January and is expected to be complete by July, 2020. The council will invest $7.7 million into this next stage, which will include of a new resource recovery shed to encourage better separation and recycling, and a new sorting shed and loading tunnel for bulk haul transporting.

Finding a positive future

Louise Kerr* has seen first hand the impact an attempted suicide can have on a family. In September 2018, her daughter Kim* first attempted to take her own life following sustained bullying at her school and some personal issues with her Dad. “I didn’t personally see what I would have thought of as obvious signs,“ she said. “She was just to me a typical moody teenager, just hormonal and that’s what I thought. “She had moments where she would have outbursts and was sad, but the day that she attempted she seemed really happy. We went out to lunch and had a good day, but later that day I told her she should call her Dad, which I now realise was a trigger. “I was at home at the time and that was lucky.“ After a brief stint in the Royal Children’s Hospital, Kim returned home and Louise said the recovery had been an ongoing process. “When we got home I put in a lot of strategies,“ Louise said. “I put up pictures and posters around the house telling her how beautiful she was, and pointing out how much good stuff there was in her life. “Her school, which were a bit frustrating to deal with at first, have been fantastic, going above and beyond to help her and do what they can. “She also got a lot of support from friends, my friends, family, and one thing she said not long after that was ’I didn’t realise how many people loved me.’ “It was hard for her afterwards, but it’s something we’re always working on. One thing we did for awhile was getting her to tell me something good from the day, or something great in the world, or something that made her

the past year. “I keep saying I’m a lucky parent, because I’ve got her,“ she said. “Others aren’t as lucky. And I’m a big advocate for talking about it and having an open conversation about mental health. I don’t think it should be taboo. “Some people see it as a cry for attention, well I’d rather answer a cry for attention than go to their funeral. “All it can take sometimes is a phone call to see how someone is going, or just a simple ’how are you?’and that can make all the difference.“ And while she is always on alert, Louise said she was staying positive for the future. “She’s (Kim) in a pretty good space at the moment, and the good thing is she is talking about the future,“ Louise said. “Just things like ’when I’m older’ or ’in the ch o a e u future’, so she’s talking that there’s something R past today. “We know that it is there in the background, but at the same time we don’t want to live with that and we want to concentrate on the future and if it pops it’s ugly head up then we’ll deal with it. ed “Now it’s about keeping the communication uce Sui open so she knows to talk to me, and I think that’s important for all families.“ *Not their real name Louise, who’s daughter attempted suicide, says more people need to talk about mental health.

Fun, foam and the great outdoors By Ewen McRae Myrniong is set to come alive with colour and fun next month, as the hugely successful Foam Fest returns to St Anne’s Vineyard. The event – one of the largest fun runs in Canada – made its Australian debut last summer after hitting 30 cities worldwide. It’s Australian leg will kick off again on November 30. Up to 5000 participants daily are expected at each location to take on 22 obstacles including the world’s largest inflatable water slide, bouncy castles, mud pits and cargo climb, and more than 2.5 million cubic feet of all natural foam.

the festival experience is going to have a lot more variety - Jesse Fulton

Jesse Fulton, founder and president of 365 Sports, the organisation behind the event, said Australia’s strong appetite for The 5K Foam Fest justified a bigger and better 2019 line-up. “We were delighted with Australia’s response to Foam Fest last year and not only are we landing in a new location for the first time in 2019, the festival experience is going to have a lot more variety and people can expect an awesome new finish line obstacle,” Mr Fulton said. “The market for fun runs and obstacle courses is booming globally and the beauty of our event is it offers something unique for people of all ages and abilities. “With Australia’s appetite for fun, adventure and the outdoors, we are tipping strong appeal for this event for many years to come.” The event will also raise funds for

come,” Mr Fulton said. Early bird tickets are available for the event until November 8. Details: the5kfoamfest.com/ Australia

By Ewen McRae Rockbank is officially home to a Guinness World Record, after soccer enthusiasts descended on the suburb last month for a crack at history. Woodlea estate hosted an event on October 26 trying to set a new mark for the World’s Largest Soccer Lesson. The previous world record of 705 people was achieved in Poland on April 8, 2018. The Rockbank lesson, run by former Melbourne Victory coach and ex-Socceroo, Kevin Muscat, alongside Matildas striker, Kyah

Simon, set a new mark of 835 participants. Woodlea sales and marketing manager, Lora Djurdjevic said the Woodlea community is still pinching themselves after officially earning the title. “We absolutely loved seeing our Woodlea community come together with so much passion, drive, commitment and care from everyone involved,” she said. “A huge thank you to our wonderful community of friends, families and countless clubs for your participation. Woodlea is all about creating a community that encourages families to lead an active, healthy lifestyle.

“We cannot wait to host many more exciting community events.” Among an exhaustive list of guidelines, the lesson had to last a minimum of 30 minutes, and required each participant to wear the appropriate outfit and play to the best of their ability. It continues a strong soccer tradition for the estate, which has hosted a successful soccer clinic each year since its inception. The clinics feature former Brazilian World Cup players who travel to Melbourne as part of the ‘Tour of Hope’, an initiative to inspire and help coach young people of migrant and refugee backgrounds.

Eynesbury takes shape By Ewen McRae Work on a multi-million dollar housing development in Eynesbury is gathering steam, with construction on dozens of new lots beginning recently. More than 170 new lots at Resimax Group’s Eynesbury development are being constructed, with the $700 million project set to transform the burgeoning suburb. Project director Callan Ainsaar said the development would make Eynesbury an attractive destination for first-home buyers, families and retirees. “There’s already an established community at Eynesbury and the new stages have numerous

features to excite new residents interested in the area,” Mr Ainsaar said. “I’m looking forward to the scope of the project, which has the potential to be one of the most exciting projects in Australia in terms of scale and end-use.” The new lots sit to the north and south of the future town centre, with the north site to feature an 8000 square metre park adjacent to a waterway corridor. With a new school planned for the area, and significant growth in the region, Mr Ainsaar said there was still plenty of planning to happen for the development. “We’ve been working in the background planning road infrastructure, refreshing and

maintaining existing amenities, as well as planning new ones, and engaging the state government on the delivery of a new primary school and active open space within the development,” he said. Earlier this year the state and federal governments, local councils and sporting groups joined forces to invest almost $9 million to build a new sporting and recreation precinct at Eynesbury. The Eynesbury Station Primary School is set to open its doors in 2021. Local MP Steve McGhie said the Primary School was a necessary addition to the town. “Eynesbury Station Primary School is yet another great example of the school building boom that is happening right across Victoria.”

Rockbank rocks production Rockbank Primary School has doubled in size since it last put on a school production, but it’s still been all hands on deck to make it happen. The school, which now has more than 190 pupils, held its annual production last week, and arts teacher Alyssa Carmichael said it had been a big collaborative effort to make it happen. “We do a production every two years and even though we have more students than the last one we’ve still kept everyone involved in some way,” she said. “The kids have been fantastic through the audition process and then preparing for it, whether they’re acting, or part of a class dance everyone has a role, which is great.” The play, Sing a Song of Sixpence, involved teachers and students preparing for the past two terms. “It was a good choice for us because there were lots of speaking roles from prep right through to grade 6,“ Ms Carmichael said. “The kids have been very motivated and excited, they’ve been fantastic in making this happen.” Ewen McRae

Music across the nation Wedge Park Primary School pupils will join with young musicians across Australia this week as part of a nationwide music project. The Melton West school has been learning the specially written song ’We Are’ since the start of term three, in readiness for the November 7 event. At 12.30pm on Thursday, participating schools from across Australia will play and sing the song in unison. School organiser Jennifer Velja said it was an important event to be a part of. “It’s a government initiative, and we’ve been involved in it for about 12 years now,“ Mrs Velja said. “It’s about music education and highlighting and celebrating music in schools all over Australia. The song was written by school students, and it’s a great opportunity for our kids to do something together with other schools.” The event will be held at Wedge Park Primary, and feature the Kurunjang Secondary Rock Band, Wedge Park Primary ukulele students and the primary school’s year 2 and 3 choir. 12431478-CG46-19

MY PLACE Peter Burquest is a central figure in providing support for veterans in the Caroline Springs area. He’s recently been recognised for his efforts over the years. He spoke with Tate Papworth. What’s your connection to Caroline Springs?

going six years now.

I’ve lived out this way since 1973. When I was a kid I was knocking around Braybrook and Sunshine. I was a western suburbs boy right from the start.

And what was the main driving factor for doing that?

What do you like best about the area? It’s a great little community. I love the different cultures and how each one tries to get on with each other.

The reason we did it was to try and cater for the younger people coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq. We thought the community really needed one. It’s all about being there for our people if we’re needed. And you’ve just won the Veteran Community Award at the Victorian Senior of the Year Awards?

I think the council and everyone does a good job. They continue to do the things we need to have done. It can be hard to get the funds to do things we need to do, particularly things like the roads and the development is probably happening a bit too quick for the infrastructure.

I did. I’m pretty chuffed about it. It’s something strange, you don’t do these things expecting to be rewarded for it, so it’s a real honour when you are. I know a lot of people worthy of an award such as this, but I’m honoured to even be thought of. So have you had time to celebrate?

Myself and a colleague Murray Lewis actually opened the Caroline Springs RSL, which sort of got things going back in 2013. We’ve been

It’s a bit over the top for me. My wife jokes I’m always out searching for the glory and in the front of photos, but it’s all good.

Bacchus Marsh Lions were left to lick their wounds after a tough night out against the Bendigo Braves in the Country Basketball League north-west competition. Looking to cause an upset, the under strength Lions were put under pressure all night by the Braves. It was two points the difference at quarter-time, before the Braves hit their straps. The margin was out to 10 points at half-time and 16 points at the last break before the Braves finished it off, winning 91-67. Lions coach Jeff Feben said it was a tough night for the side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a great game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are another good team and quite a bit taller than us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got out to an early lead and we got it back to two points at quarter-time [but] we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep the momentum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were double teaming Bill [Feben] making it hard and calls werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going our way.â&#x20AC;? The Lions werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helped by injuries before and during the game. Jason Christian, Matt Parker, Jake Raynot and Tyler Collins all missed the game through injury. Max Beaumont also missed the game. Jordan Kirk, who entered the game at 50 per cent fitness because of an ankle injury, was fouled out early in the third quarter. Billy Feben copped a head knock early in the last quarter and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to the court. Jeff Feben said it was difficult going into the game without the majority of their starters but some positives had come out of the game. He said the bench players were really good when they had their chances and got more

minutes than they normally would. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We finished the game with nearly all bench players,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blow out the game and we held it up a little. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to get some game time into them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will help us down the track.â&#x20AC;? He highlighted Josh Borninkhof (14 points) and Sam Byron (12 points) as two who stepped up later in the game. Billy Feben top scored with 19 points despite finishing the game early. The Lions have a bye this weekend. Jeff Feben said the bye couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have come at a better time for the side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look to regroup and they will see a different team in two weeks,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have our whole team.â&#x20AC;? The Lions have a 1-3 record this season and Feben said they were slightly disappointing not to be at least 2-2. He said it would put more pressure on them in the back half of the season to get back on track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now being 1-3 it changes the whole complexion of the season,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a reasonably hard draw. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Bendigo in the next game and we think we will come out better in the back half of the season.â&#x20AC;?

SPORT Devils look to the future as club favourite returns Dan Roy is returning to Darley after landing the senior coaching role at the Ballarat Football League club. Roy, who was part of the Devils 2017 premiership team, was announced as coach on Thursday. He was previously assistant coach to Heath Scotland at the Devils in 2017 and 2018. Scotland stood down at the end of this season, after getting a job with North Melbourne. Roy spent last season at Lorne, including playing in a grand final. Darley president Mark Shelly said it was pretty exciting to have Roy back on board at the club. “We’re super excited,” he said. “The appointment has probably taken a bit longer than we would have liked. “We’ve gone through a fairly extensive process to make sure we got the right person and we think we have the right person.” Shelly said they always had an inkling that

Roy wanted to take on a senior coaching role when the time was right. He said with Roy having spent two years at the club, it would make a big difference on him taking on the role. Shelly said there was plenty of excitement within the playing group once the announcement was made. He said some players were ready to get back into it ahead of next season. “He’s played alongside a lot of the guys and the senior players were rapt when they were made aware. “He’s measured and a guy that leads by example.” Shelly said at this stage Roy had been just appointed as coach. As for playing, Shelly said that would be decided down the track. “Speaking to him it’ll depend on his body and his major focus is getting everything right off field. “If he has the right support network around

him, there’s a possibility.” Shelly said the focus would now turn to recruiting and looking at filling any gaps. The Devils have already received two blows, with Brian and Nick Graham on the move to play closer to home. Brian has been one of the competition’s best players for a number of years, while Nick starred in his only year at the club. Shelly said Roy would likely already be speaking to people about joining the club. “We have found in the past, once you have the senior coach, the dominoes start to fall into place. “Dan may look to a couple of his contacts from footballers outside. “He’ll sit down with the football manager and work out what type of players we need to fill holes.” The appointment of Roy means all the BFL clubs have coaches appointed for next season.

Derby delight for United

A-League – Round 4 Melbourne Victory 2 (Toivonen 6, Dobras 7) lt Western United 3 (Diamanti 16, Donachie 29 OG, McDonald 51) Crowd: 20,865 at Marvel Stadium Scott McDonald has been influential for Western United in the opening month. (Luke Hemer) 200115_01

Western United was the dominant team for the remainder of the first half. Their reward came through a bit of luck in the form of an equalising own goal from Donachie. McDonald again did most of the build-up work to the goal and served up a delightful cross to Josh Risdon. Risdon redirected the ball with a header back into the box and a lunging United striker Besart Berisha did everything but get his boot on the ball, but missed the tap in. Berisha’s former teammate Donachie came

Collins takes on Cobras role

By Lance Jenkinson Western United has stunned local rivals Melbourne Victory, scoring the last three goals of their inaugural derby to win 3-2 in the A-League at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night. It was the first time in Victory’s 15-year history that it has lost a game when holding a two-goal lead. United stormed to victory on the back of two first half goals, the first a doozy from Alessandro Diamanti and the second an own goal from Victory defender James Donachie, and a second half match-winner from Scott McDonald. United coach Mark Rudan said “it’s up there” with the most special wins of his coaching career. “Two-nil down, away from home, through our own mistakes, we gave them two goals and they punished us for that, but we were courageous, they kept on playing, they kept on doing the things that we worked on and the team we want to be as well, and you get rewarded for it,” Rudan said. “It’s persistence, it’s courage, it’s a belief in our principles of play, so I’m really happy for them. “It’s a testament to what we’re building as a football club.” Western United could not have envisaged a worse start to the match. The first 10 minutes were dominated by the Victory and plagued with United defensive errors. Andrew Durante, usually safe with the ball at his feet for Western United, produced a loose pass that was broken up by Victory defender Leigh Broxham in the lead-up to Victory’s first goal. Broxham pounced to move the ball to Kristijan Dobras, who found Victory captain Ola Toivonen poised and ready to unleash powerful long range strike for a goal. A minute later, Connor Chapman carelessly turned the ball over for Western United. On this occasion, Toivonen re-paid the favour, assisting Dobras on a goal to make it 2-0 to Victory after just seven minutes. Western United started to clean up its act after the Dobras goal. Indeed, they enjoyed a sustained period of pressure that led to Italian superstar Alessandro Diamanti halving the deficit in the 16th minute. McDonald built up the attacking move for United, shifting the Victory defence out of position, but his cross was only half cleared by a defender and straight to the feet of Diamanti, who dragged United back into the game with a powerfully struck goal for United from outside the box.

Dan Roy is returning to Darley as its coach.

to his aid, accidentally putting the ball into his own net. Fittingly, the 50th minute winner for Western United came from McDonald. McDonald feigned to go inboard, but jinked back to shoot with his right boot and a deflection off Broxham saw the ball sail into the top corner away from Victory goalkeeper Lawrence Thomas. Western United will square off with title contenders Western Sydney Wanderers at GHMBA Stadium in Geelong from 7.30pm on Saturday night.

New Bacchus Marsh head coach Sheree Collins is hoping to continue the momentum gained with the Cobras netball program the last couple of years. The Cobras have been around the finals mix under former coach Michael Saker and have taken it up to some of the best teams in the Ballarat Netball League. Collins, who was appointed last month, has seen a bit of the Cobras close up over the last couple of year’s. She said it was exciting to take that next step to become their head coach. She replaces Michael Saker, who stood down after three years in the role. In that time they went from bottom to playing finals. “They have been going really well and it’s a good time to get in there and help them climb up the ladder,” she said. “They have continued to improve under Mick the last couple of year’s. “I’ve been umpiring them the last couple of year’s. They have a good club culture.” Collins isn’t a stranger to the league, having previously coached at Redan. She coached their under-17 team, before coaching the A-grade team. Her time came to an end early, when she did her ACL playing for them. Collins was also involved with the BNL interleague team. Collins is also president of Brown Hill in the Ballarat Netball Association. She has coached both junior and seniors teams for Brown Hill. Collins said she would be able to juggle both roles. “They are on at different times,” she said. “Their main season is on now and ends in November.” Collins said she might possibly look within Brown Hill to add players to the Cobras. She said they would look to base their team’s on the players that were already at the club. The Cobras have made finals the last two years, but were knocked out in elimination finals. “We will definitely work with what we have there,” she said. “We’ll put some feelers out, as it’s always good to have some new blood.” The Cobras will have trials in the coming weeks with pre-season to start on November 20.
