Pas de deux with the best A professional contemporary ballet company, Melbourne City Ballet, is heading for South Morang. The Brunswick-based dance troupe will perform Shakespeare’s comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream on August 4. The dancers’ visit was thought to be a good excuse for local dance students to learn a thing or two from the professionals, so Whittlesea council and the company are inviting local and nearby dance schools to nominate two of their best artists to practise with the experts before the performance. Dance Revolution owner Laura Iaconif chose Greta Xhaferi, of Mill Park, and Izabel Lozevski, of South Morang, to warm up with some of the City Ballet’s dancers. Both girls, 14, are currently completing their teaching certificates. Ms Iaconif said they were chosen because of their dedication to their art. “They always put in 100 per cent and I think this will inspire them to pursue dancing as a career,” she said. Tickets for the show are on sale at www.pracc.com.au or by calling 9217 2317. IZABEL LOZEVSKI AND GRETA XHAFERI

To market … but not yet By Lexi Cottee The opening of Melbourne Market’s new premises in Epping has been delayed until the end of the month. The multi-million dollar market was scheduled to open yesterday but the state government announced the delay last Wednesday after an 11th-hour meeting with the Melbourne Market Authority (MMA) and representatives of the wholesalers association, Fresh State.

The meeting was at the request of Fresh State, which had put forward a “compelling case” to give the market community more time to prepare for the move to Epping, according to MMA chief executive officer Mark Maskiell. A statement from the Premier’s office said the MMA advised the state government that to ensure the market’s success at its new site, trading should be delayed until August 31. “While the new market site has the necessary infrastructure and occupational health and safety standards in place for an August 3

opening, a small number of market tenants have been unable to complete their store fit-outs in time,” the statement read. It said the MMA advised that about 20 per cent of tenants were in this situation, with the remaining 80 per cent ready to begin trading. But Victorian Vegetable Growers Association president David Wallace said as few as 13 per cent of stores were ready. “Only 17 stores out of 130 were ready to go,” he said. “A lot of people still haven’t got their

parking allocation or insurance organised. At least common sense has now prevailed.” In its statement, the state government said it had not made the call lightly. “There has been extensive consultation with the market community over many years to address a range of issues about the move,” the statement read. “Since coming to government, representatives from our offices have been working closely with the Melbourne Market Authority to address individual concerns ahead of the move.”

Pokies winning battle for north By Lexi Cottee New statistics reveal gamblers are losing more on poker machines in both Hume and Whittlesea each year. Statistics released by the Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation for the year to June 30 show that more than $109 million was lost on Whittlesea’s 691 electronic gaming machines – up from net losses of $103.5 million in the previous 12 months.

In Hume, gaming losses were up by about $3 million, from $101.8 million in the 2013-14 financial year from 846 machines, to $104.9 million in 2014-15. Whittlesea Community Connections chief executive Jemal Ahmet said the losing streaks would continue unless the state government legislated significant reforms and increased protection measures. He said losses in Whittlesea were rising partly because of the area’s increasing population but also because the gaming

industry was targeting an area with some of the most profitable machines in the state. “The trajectory for losses is going to go up

and we’ll undoubtedly get more businesses applying for machines in the north of the municipality, where there isn’t a cap in place,” Mr Ahmet said. Gamblers at Epping Plaza Hotel recorded the highest losses in the state, losing more than $21 million on the venue’s 100 poker machines in the past financial year. Players at Mill Park’s Plough Hotel and the Bundoora Taverner, both with 100 machines, lost more than $18 million in the 12 months to June 30.

John’s tip: Don’t rubbish Hume store, was littered with couches, mattresses, cabinets and assorted waste. Mr Mitchell said this was just one of many sites at Broadmeadows, Meadow Heights, Roxburgh Park and Craigieburn used by rubbish dumpers. Hume mayor Adem Atmaca, who also took up Mr Mitchell’s offer to tour the worst rubbish spots, said the space behind the liquor store was on Broadmeadows shopping centre’s land and was the centre’s responsibility to remove. “Council will ask Broadmeadows shopping centre to monitor this part of their carpark more regularly and make sure that rubbish dumping is curtailed,” Cr Atmaca said.

“Hume takes a zero tolerance approach to rubbish dumping. “Offenders are prosecuted regularly, and face large fines,” Cr Atmaca said. Broadmeadows shopping centre’s operations manager, David Farmer, said the centre was working with the council to stop people dumping rubbish. “We don’t support the dumping of rubbish in our carparks, nor in any public places, and will continue to monitor this practice,” Mr Farmer said.

A Meadow Heights resident is on a mission to force Hume council to clean up piles of dumped rubbish. John Mitchell offered to take Star Weekly on a tour of the municipality to point out mounds of rubbish he says the council has “turned a blind eye to”. He said he was incensed the council had publicised a three-month cleaning blitz but failed to address hotspots used to discard bags of unwanted clothes, boxes and old furniture. “It’s the city of shit, and it’s been that way for 20 years,” Mr Mitchell said. One site Star Weekly visited (pictured), behind the Broadmeadows Dan Murphy’s

New footage aired on prime-time television showing what appears to be the mishandling of asbestos at a Bulla tip has prompted the EPA to further investigate the troubled site. The footage, aired on Channel 9’s A Current Affair program on July 24, appears to show a tractor using its front loader to compact bags filled with asbestos sheeting. It has sparked a fresh round of investigations by the EPA, which attended the BTQ Group-run tip twice in one week after the program was aired, to check that quarry operators were correctly disposing of asbestos. Last month, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal granted the company an eight-year extension to its licence to operate the site as a private tip, overturning a Hume council decision that gave operators until the end of next year. It’s one of just 16 quarries in Victoria where the EPA allows commercial and domestic asbestos to be dumped. EPA regional services executive director Damien Wells said the footage prompted checks for non-compliance issues, but none was found. He said the footage could not be used as evidence as it did not show whether the asbestos was later covered, which meets EPA rules. He said the EPA would continue to keep a close eye on the tip. Hume mayor Adem Atmaca said the footage raised concerns for people who work at the site, live nearby and commute past the site. Bulla resident Carmel Egan, a spokeswoman for residents fed up with the tip, said the residents would meet with council this week to discuss concerns.

Town hall tops Hume’s wishlist By Lexi Cottee Hume council has called on the state government to put $9 million towards redeveloping Broadmeadows’ former town hall. The $20.2 million redevelopment is one of three major projects the council has put forward for financial support from the $50 million Interface Growth Fund (IGF). The IGF funding pool is available to 10 urban fringe councils, including Hume and Whittlesea, offering grants up to $10 million

for infrastructure or community projects that are ready to start construction within six months of funds being allocated. If successful, Hume council would contribute the remaining $11.2 million for the former town hall’s rejuvenation. Hume mayor Adem Atmaca said the council was keen to revamp the 51-year-old building into Broadmeadows’ commercial and community activity centre. “This iconic building has hosted a concert by AC/DC and speeches by Arthur Calwell and Paul Keating, but we have a plan that will

ensure it supports our community like never before,” Cr Atmaca said. The council’s application to the IGF also requested $200,000 towards a Newbury PlaceMaking Project, which has been designed to create a safe space between the soon-to-be built Craigieburn North-West Primary School and other council facilities. “We’ve built Newbury Park and the Newbury Child and Community Centre, with work commencing in the next 12 months on the Hume Hockey Centre,” the mayor said. “Many young families will want to walk to these places

once the school opens. Hume is determined to create a space that’s safe for children and their parents and to implement design principles that discourage crime.” Funding for aninterim Annadale community centre is also on the council’s wishlist. It has requested $500,000 for temporary preschool services, a maternal and child health centre and a community meeting space for the emerging Mickleham community. The council’s funding proposals were submitted to Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins on Friday.

A walk through history

10028262-12

A dimly lit, graffiti-riddled laneway in Lalor has been successfully transformed into a vibrant, community space. Whittlesea council officially launched the second stage of the Peter Lalor walkway redevelopment and mural last Thursday. The unveiling of the first stage of Collingwood-based artist Bern Emmerichs’ mural was the highlight of the morning’s official proceedings. Dubbed Lalor Conversations, the mural features detailed paintings of the suburb’s history – from the first people of the Wurundjeri Willum Clan to the culturally diverse place it is today – across four large panels. It covers an area that was often targeted by vandals. The two completed panels celebrate the suburb’s namesake Peter Lalor and Westgarthtown, the former dairy farming settlement established in the mid-1850s by German and Wendish immigrants.

The last two panels will be finished before the end of the year. More seating, a new pergola, street furniture, efficient LED lighting and a wider pedestrian walkway are among new features of the revamped laneway. The state government stepped in to help fund the second stage of the project after it was found that the community had begun using the laneway again after the council added paving, seating and a pergola in 2013. Whittlesea mayor Ricky Kirkham said he hoped the mural and upgrades would bring a sense of history and pride to the community. “This area now has designated trading zones for shop operators to display their goods, giving clear separation of pathways for traders and pedestrians. And it provides access for people using mobility aids, prams and wheelchairs.” Lexi Cottee

Mired in mud, and blame By Lexi Cottee Local MPs have accused Whittlesea council of “dragging its feet” over approving a planning permit that would allow work to begin on a temporary carpark at South Morang railway station. Mill Park MP Lily D’Ambrosio and Yan Yean MP Danielle Green last week called on the council to fast-track approval of Public Transport Victoria’s (PTV) planning permit to build a gravel carpark on Westfield-owned land on the corner of McDonalds Road and Civic Drive. “The council has been quite problematic. This has meant we’re now bang in the middle of winter and people have to traipse through the mud,” Ms D’Ambrosio said. “We really need them to pull their finger out; there’s just been too much to-ing and fro-ing.” Whittlesea mayor Ricky Kirkham shot back at the accusations, saying the council had, in fact, fast-tracked the planning application as a priority. “We have turned the application around in a matter of weeks. This follows many months of the state government considering options at various locations.” Cr Kirkham said providing rail commuters with adequate carparking was the state government’s responsibility. “We have proactively worked with PTV on carparking options at South Morang for many months and have been waiting for PTV to determine a solution,” he said. The planning application was lodged with the council on July 3. Cr Kirkham said planning applications of this nature couldn’t be turned around overnight.

Mud and puddles confront motorists at South Morang railway station carpark. (Damjan Janevski)

“The planning application to build a temporary carpark is as much about driver and pedestrian safety, both on Ferres Boulevard and McDonalds Road, as it is an engineering matter,” he said. “These are two

very busy roads that require engineering and planning experts to carefully examine and evaluate the application.” The permit application is due to be discussed at the council’s meeting tonight.

Cr Jack Ogilvie on sick leave Hume councillor Jack Ogilvie has been granted three months’ leave as he continues to recover from a serious stroke. As reported by Star Weekly Weekly, Cr Ogilvie was paralysed on one side after suffering a stroke on July 6. He was organising a community event when the stroke happened. Council chief executive Domenic Isola wished the former mayor a speedy recovery. ‘‘Cr Ogilvie remains in our thoughts as he recovers in hospital,’’ Mr Isola said. ‘‘We are thinking of him and his family, and wish them all the very best. We look forward to seeing him back in the chamber.’’ More than $11,000 in goods and services has been donated since a committee began planning a gala ball and auction for Cr Ogilvie, hoping to collect $100,000 for home modifications and equipment, including a motorised wheelchair. Committee spokesman Adam Mizzi said offers of items had flooded in. ‘‘To hear Jack [is] worried about how he was going to pay for a motorised wheelchair … it just broke my heart,’’ Mr Mizzi said. “He’s dedicated his whole life to the community.” Mr Mizzi said Cr Ogilvie appreciated the cards, letters and Facebook messages. The ball at Pitruzzello Estate is on October 17. Details: 9740 8999 or goo.gl/ uG2Xir Matt Crossman

Anita Miler’s mother and four friends have all offered to donate a kidney to her. But because of the would-be donor’s age or blood type, her doctor deemed them incompatible. It has meant that Ms Miler, 49, now contemplates a six or seven-year wait for a donated kidney, as well as years of nightly dialysis. Fortunately, she can undergo dialysis in the comfort of her own home – but not without being connected throughout the night to a cycler machine, which strips her body of excess water and waste. The Northern Hospital patient was diagnosed two years ago and placed immediately on an organ donation waiting list. During the current national DonateLife

Week, the Broadford resident is hoping to raise awareness about the campaign, which encourages Australians to consider organ and tissue donation. “I think it’s important to put a face to someone on a waiting list and for people to see we’re human,” Ms Miler told Star Weekly. “Having an organ donation is my best chance of life. The impact [dialysis] has on a family … socialising, going out for tea, having a two-night holiday … they’re not possible for me. “Your life is limited,” she said. For more information about organ and tissue donation, visit www.donatelife.gov.au. Lexi Cottee

The first man is described as Caucasian, in his early 30s, 185cm tall, with an athletic build and facial hair. The second man is of European appearance, in his late 20s or early 30s and also about 185cm tall.

Sports grants under scrutiny

By Lexi Cottee Asylum seekers can now access fresh fruit and vegetables after the city-based Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) set up a mobile outpost at Thomastown. From this week, the ASRC’s food truck will be open for business, selling fresh produce from its temporary base at Thomastown Primary School. The food truck will sell groceries to asylum seekers at 75 per cent less than market prices. The social enterprise will also sell produce to other residents at retail prices, to subsidise the discounted rate. ASRC research identifies Whittlesea as home to the fourth-largest asylum seeker community in Victoria. Whittlesea mayor Ricky Kirkham said the Food Justice Truck would tackle the growing sense of food insecurity felt by more than 10,000 people in Victoria seeking asylum and who hold bridging visas that prevent them from working. Thomastown Primary School student welfare co-ordinator Judith Zenables said about 16 per cent of pupils were asylum seekers, mostly from Iraq and India. She said the food truck would tie in with the school’s vegetable garden, and would be a huge help for parents struggling to feed their children fresh, nutritious food. “We know it’s often the asylum seeker families who have difficulty paying for the extras, for camps and swimming classes, so anything that can help, we would welcome,” Ms Zenables said. The food truck opens on August 4 at the primary school, and every Tuesday between 3pm and 6pm. It will sell ethically sourced and locally produced fresh fruit, vegetables, grains, legumes and bread.

Hume council has revised its sports grants program to put a stop to funds flowing to private interstate and international sports tours, and to sports not recognised by the Australian Sports Commission. The council agreed last week to stamp out funding for profit-making sports organisations and ensure an even distribution of funds to all sports. A review of the former system found evidence that some sports and individuals were over-represented as recipients. It cited taekwondo as an example, the sport having accounted for 20 per cent of all funding handed out in the five years the scheme has operated. The review also found that grants were offered to sporting codes not recognised by the Australian Sports Commission, the statutory agency responsible for funding and developing sports. Council officers have recommended simplifying the grant application process. “The length and complexity of the application form may be a barrier to members of the community from nonEnglish-speaking backgrounds,” their report found. Private sporting tours, they said, “are not required to have a fair and transparent selection procedure based on merit”. The council officers said some groups ran profit-making tours. Over the past five years more than 222 athletes had been awarded grants totalling $71,355. Lexi Cottee

13 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 4, 2015

SPORT Season over as Broncos crash at first finals hurdle Hume City Broncos’ season is over after just one round of the Big V men’s state championship division finals. Playing finals for the first time since 2010, the Broncos were on the back foot early against McKinnon in their away game on Saturday night. And the Cougars made the most of the home crowd pumping them up, leading by 11 points at quarter-time. The Broncos got the margin below 10 several times but couldn’t peg back the Cougars’ good start, succumbing 94-80. Broncos coach Lanard Copeland said while it was disappointing to lose, he was proud of

his players’ effort. “I just told the boys that as long as they’d given their all that’s all I could ask for,” he said. “Credit to McKinnon, their transition to offence and work on the boards was good. We played well and hung in there but were beaten by a better side.” Lee Jeka, Jamal Brown and Jermaine Maybank all scored 20 points or more for the Broncos. Copeland said the biggest disappointment had been not being able to secure a home final. “In some games during the year we let ourselves down,” he said. “If we’d won a couple of those, we’d have had a home final and I think

that would have made a difference.” Copeland said this year had helped build towards better things. “Last year was disappointing and we didn’t make finals,” he said. “This year we made finals and next year we want to go for the title.” Copeland said talks were under way to extend his contract for another two years. “We’re working on that right now,” he said. “In the past six to seven years the coach has had two years and then gone and players have also left. The club needs stability; the good clubs have that.” Copeland said he had already started talking to players about next season.

Eagles’ hopes still alive By Tara Murray Finals are meant to be tight, close-fought contests, and that was the case when Craigieburn met Keysborough in the Big V men’s division 2 qualifying final on Saturday. Scores were level with two minutes to go, when some clutch-free, throw-shooting from the Cougars carried them to an 88-81 win. Eagles coach Dennis McNamara said it was a similar game to the previous time the two met when the Cougars got over the line in the final minute. “The end result wasn’t what we wanted, but we played really well for most of the game,” McNamara said. “Scores were level with two minutes to go, and the 50/50s then went their way. “You’ve got second and third on the ladder playing, and the game was exactly that.” The Eagles led by 50-41 at half-time; a quarter later, the lead had dropped to a single point. McNamara said two things went the Cougars’ way in the final minutes. “They got free throws late in the quarter, which helped them get the lead. We had the same amount of free throws in the last quarter, but we got them earlier on. “We had poor overall shooting in that last quarter, shooting at 15 per cent. We shot at 42, 52 and 40 per cent in the other quarters. “Sometimes you don’t make the shots, and that’s just sport. The difference was who executed them better.” McNamara said the Eagles would continue their training regime. “You can work at things all week and, in the end, they don’t go your way. One of their [Keysborough’s] players who had made one three-pointer all year shot three from three. “We didn’t focus on his outside shot, but he probably won’t do that again.” Jonathan Maybank top-scored for the Eagles with 15 points. The loss isn’t the end of the year for the Eagles, who get a second chance when they play Coburg this weekend. “We beat them comfortably the second time we played them; the first time they beat us.” Eagles enter the game at less than full strength. Mark Welch is playing limited minutes due to a calf injury, while Rob Toller-Bond is doubtful after rolling his ankle. The Eagles’ youth league women’s side fell five points short of a grand final appearance in their division 1 run. The Eagles were nine points down at half-time and, despite outscoring Warrandyte in both the last two quarters, lost 59-55. Tiana Rubeidis top-scored for the Eagles with 15 points. The Whittlesea Pacers’ women’s division 1 side starts its finals campaign this week after having the week off. 14 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 4, 2015

“I’ve spoken to a couple of the main pieces of the puzzle and they indicated they want to come back,” he said. The Broncos women’s side will start its finals campaign this week. After finishing on top of the ladder, the women had a bye in the first week of the finals. They will play Ringwood for a spot in the grand final. The loser will enter the preliminary finals. The youth league women’s side is already through to the grand final after a 48-37 win over Corio Bay. Tara Murray

Cannons boom as wins flow Calder Cannons are finally finding consistency and confidence as they head towards another finals series. They have now won three in a row in a season which got off to a slow start. On Saturday, they travelled north and held off a determined Bendigo Pioneers, 14.11 (95) - 10.8 (68). Cannons coach Andrew Johnston said the boys were starting to gain confidence from results going their way. “With a new coach and game plan it’s taken a while to instil,” he said. “We’ve been trying to improve each week and we’ve done that over the last three to four weeks. It’s been a slow improvement and the boys are now getting reward for effort.” Against the Pioneers, it was secondhalf pressure that wore down the opposition. “It was a hard-fought win,” Johnston said, “but we were able to sustain the pressure for longer and convert up forward. We went in tall, and Moore and Brown were really good focal points for us.” Karl Brown and Callum Moore were best on ground, with Brown kicking six goals and Moore chipping in with three. Until three weeks ago, the duo hadn’t played together for the Cannons this year. But in those three games, both have been named twice among the best players. “Callum was injured, then Karl was injured and then Callum played Vic Metro,” Johnston said. “Having them both there at the same time gives us real focal points.” Johnston also threw challenges to others. “Tom Wallis was playing VFL and Zak Wunhym school footy, so there was the opportunity to try other players on the ball,” he said. “Jackson McDonald got his opportunity as did Matthew Stillman, who has been great down the back. “Hisham Kerbatieh has been working hard on his defence and workrate so got a run on the ball. ” Nick O’Kearney is set to be the next Cannons player to get a chance at VFL level this week; he’s likely to be named Coburg’s 23rd player. The Cannons have the bye this weekend, and Johnston says most of the players will get the week off and not go back to their local clubs. Northern Knights lost 12.10 (82) 10.13 (73) against Oakleigh Chargers on Sunday.

Speedy take-off lifts Jets’ hopes of second spot Greenvale has taken the upper hand in the fight for second spot in Essendon District Football League’s premier division. Only percentage separated the Jets and Pascoe Vale going into Saturday’s clash and in the end it was the Jets’ fast start that proved the difference. The Jets led by 25 points at quarter-time and extended that to 37 at the main break. The second half became a display of how not to kick for goal as the Jets won 13.20 (98) - 8.15 (63). Jets coach Shannon Grant said making a fast start had been a focus.

The Panthers were able to get plenty of the ball early but coughed up turnovers due to Jets pressure. “Our starts haven’t been great the last few weeks,” he said. “Starting well was a strong focus for us during the week. “Our senior boys led the way and got the job done. We needed to make sure our pressure was good and tackling was on. We forced them to get rid of the ball a lot earlier than they normally do.” Grant expected the Panthers to come at the Jets in the last quarter but was pleased with how his team responded.

“We knew they would roll the dice and attack a lot more,” he said. “We had to absorb that.” Grant said both sides were sure to address goalkicking during the week. In the second half, the Jets kicked 3.11 to the Panthers’ 3.13. “They missed easy goals and we missed goals we should have kicked as well,” he said. “I’m sure myself and the Pascoe Vale coach will be pretty disappointed with it.” Grant said discipline would be another area he would discuss with the players. The Jets gave away a number of free kicks and 50-metre penalties.

With several senior players missing for the Panthers match, Grant said he was happy with how the younger boys had stepped up. Jarryd Bonello, Brandon Marlow, Korey Jonkers, Adrian Salvatori and Anthony Caligiuri got a taste of senior football. This week the Jets play Keilor, which is a game behind them on the ladder. In division 1, Craigieburn and Tullamarine were on the winners’ list, as were Jacana and Roxburgh Park in division 2. Tara Murray

Eagles make it a hat-trick against Bloods

Hume City celebrate Nick Hegarty’s first half goal.

(Shawn Smits)

Hume edges to last 16 By Tara Murray Hume City coach Louie Acevski has described last week’s historic FFA Cup win over the Brisbane Strikers as an emotional roller coaster. It took until the last kick of extra time to separate the City and Brisbane Strikers, with City winning 4-3 in front of more than 1000 people at Broadmeadows Valley Stadium to move into the last 16. The game looked set to go to penalties before a Liam Newman cross into City’s box in the 120th minute was deflected in to his own goal by the Strikers’ Greig Henslee. City opened the scoring through Nick Hegarty in the third minute but had to come from behind twice to get the win. “It’s the biggest emotional roller coaster I have ever been involved with as a coach or player,” Acesvki told Star Weekly. “It’s a great feeling and I’m ecstatic. It’s the best match atmosphere I’ve been involved in.”

The score was 1-1 at half-time and it stayed that way for most of the second half. “We conceded a goal early against Green Gully on the weekend so we didn’t want that to happen again,” Acevski said. “I thought we dominated the second half and the Strikers sat back and wanted to counter-attack.” And the tactic seemed to have worked when Scott Coulson scored for the Strikers in the 90th minute. “I thought we were out,” Acevski said. Enter Hume’s Marcus Schroen, who put the ball into the net a minute later to make the score 2-2 and send the match into extra time. History then repeated, with Coulson again putting the Strikers in front and Schroen responding soon afterwards. “[When the Strikers scored their third] I was still confident we could level and give ourselves a chance of victory and we did that,” Acevski said.

“Marcus carried the team, getting on the end of the crosses with his leaping. “It was fantastic for him . . . Marcus came back from a knee reconstruction 12 months ago.” As time ticked down, Acevski and most of the crowd thought the game was going to a penalty shoot-out. “A minute before [the winning goal] I was already thinking who would take the first, second, third, fourth and fifth penalty kicks,” he said. Acevski said the club didn’t mind who it drew in the round of 16 but he knows which club he would like to play. “We would definitely prefer a home game,” he said. “And I’d love to play Melbourne Victory . . . “I think we could get 3000-4000 people at our ground if we played Victory.” For more photos of the game, go to www. starweekly.com.au/sports

It was a case of deja vu for Whittlesea and Lalor in their Northern Football League division 2 clash on Saturday. As in the sides’ two previous meetings this season, the Eagles came away with the points. But it wasn’t without a fight as the Bloods led at all three changes before Whittlesea’s extra composure clinched the 18.9 (117) - 16.12 (108) victory. Eagles coach Brad Dean said he always felt his side could win even though it trailed for much of the match. “This has been the pattern between the two sides,” he said. “They started better, but we were in front at the end. “We spoke at half-time about how our third quarters had been fantastic in the past six weeks. They [Bloods] missed a few opportunities in the last quarter and we were more composed in the last five minutes.” The most pleasing thing for Dean was that his younger players proved to be the difference. “The more experienced players play at the same level week in and week out,” he said. “The younger guys are more up and down, but they got us back into the game.” He singled out the defensive jobs of Paul Higgins and Jaron Murphy. “We moved Paul onto Tom Hughes, who’s one of the best forwards in the competition,” Dean said. “He had kicked four goals at that point. Paul set up five or six attacking opportunities and from then on kept Hughes goalless. We gave Jaron the job on Scott Dowell to keep him quiet. I didn’t give him much choice and he said he’d give it a crack. But he still got a lot of the ball and had his attacking flair.” Dean said he would love to have Murphy for the finals, but playing for Calder Cannons would come first. The win moved the Eagles to the top, ahead of the Bloods on percentage, and a win this weekend will clinch a finals spot. “We set ourselves for a hard period against Hurstbridge, Lalor and Fitzroy Stars,” Dean said. “We wanted to win at least two of the three, and we’ve won the first two.” Elsewhere, Thomastown did its final hopes no harm with a win over third-placed Hurstbridge. The Bears won a thriller 9.11 (65) - 8.12 (60) and swapped positions with Hurstbridge as a result. The Bears are two points behind both Whittlesea and Lalor. In division 1, Bundoora is back in the top five after its win over Northcote Park, while South Morang was among the winners in division 3. Tara Murray 15 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ AUGUST 4, 2015
