The passing of Arthur Donnelly has rocked Dulwich Hill Cycle Club BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

D

escribed as a tr ue gentleman who supported the cycling fraternity in Dulwich Hill, club stalwart Arthur D onnelly has passed a way, much to the shock and sadness of his friends and family.

Vice President of the Dulw ich Hill Bic ycle Club, Geoff Martin said Mr Donnelly, who worked tirelessly as a volunteer and official with the club, did so until the day before his passing.

“It was a real shock when w e heard of his passing. He worked on the Monday (November 4) and went home as usual. W e were told that on Tuesday morning he passed away,” Mr Martin said.

Mr Donnelly’s involvement in cycling started at a young age. At 16 he won the five mile and one mile championships for Lidcombe. After rac ing for f our c lubs, M r D onnelly d ecided t o r ide f or Dulwich Hill in the 1960’s and never looked back.

His dedic ation to the sport has been w ithout comparison. He acted as marshall for the Cy cling Union in the G oulburn road races for man y years and was the club delega te to counc il meetin gs, and supported the club a t the C amperdown and

He was hel d in high esteem b y Cycling NSW as the delega te represen ting DHBC a t their annual general meeting. He became an official of Cycling NSW in the c apacity of Commissaire a ttending and officiating at track and road events.

He saw the club through its more difficult times when rider numbers were at their lowest, and saw

the rise of membership in more recen t times skyrocket to over 400. In 2003 Mr Donnelly was recognised for his con tribution to the sport and was presented with Life Membership to Cycling NSW. Mr Martin said he alwa ys offered w ords of encouragement to junior and senior riders alike.

“He was well known and well respected across the state,” Mr Martin said.

Arthur Donnelly was 85-years-old.

The pretend solution only highlights the real problem Like clockwork, The Daily Telegraph had a front page exclusive on M onday about tough la ws to stop fatal assaults in the wake of Thomas Kelly’s death in Kings Cross last year.

I sa y “lik e clockw ork” bec ause i t was classic stage- managed, reac tion- driven poli tics b y a State G overnment tha t is ei ther unable or unwilling to ac tually tackle the real issue tha t was brought t o p rominence b y t he i ncredibly i nadequate sentence handed to Thomas Kelly’s killer last Friday.

Kieran Loveridge will serve a minimum of just four years for the manslaugh ter of the 18- yearold in Kings Cross last y ear – an unpro voked, alcohol-fueled attack that rightly enraged a nation.

The Telegraph’s big e xclusive on M onday – which w ould ha ve been leak ed to them b y the Government in the wake of the public anger and the knowledge that Thomas Kelly’s parents were to appear on ‘ 60 Minutes’ on Sunda y evening – was tha t bra wlers who kill w ith a kin g- hit w ill face up to 10 years jail under “tough” new laws.

I read the story twice because initially I couldn’t quite fathom what I was reading nor that the Telegraph had seemingly fallen hook, line and sinker for it.

After all, wasn’t Kieran Loveridge facing a sentence of up to 25 years for the manslaughter of Mr Kelly?

Now, the Government’s solution is to introduce

TROY DODDS @troydodds

To Mr Smith and the Premier, I call BS

a law that would reduce the maximum sentence for a crime like Mr Loveridge’s to 10?

As it turns out, the proposed la w will actually see a maximum penalty of up to 20 y ears but i t matters little – just focus on the words “up to”.

The whole stor y loses all c redibility there because we know how rarely maximum sen tences are used.

Attorney General Greg Smith’s attempts to look and act tough quite simply haven’t washed with the public.

To Mr Smith and the Premier, I call BS. And I c all BS to all the legal types out there this past w eek – lik e Nicholas Co wdery, the former NSW Director of P ublic Prosecutions – who have tried to laugh off the public outrage, almost pushing it to the side bec ause we all apparen tly don’t understand the legal technicalities.

I understand the legal reasons why Kieran Loveridge was handed a minimum four y ear sentence. The public does too – w e’re not as stupid as the Government or experts in the legal f raternity sometimes think we are.

What the public is an gry at is that in c ases like this, we see judges walking through a lolly shop picking discoun ts and c ircumstances tha t sui t the offender’s situation.

We’ve totally lost it when king-hitting someone in an unprovoked attack is not considered in the worst category of manslaughter.

Conversation starters: Tick of approval for new verge gardens in Ewart Street

BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

C

ollaboration between neighbours has seen Ewart Street in Marrickville transformed f rom a lifeless concrete enclave into a colourful row of verge gardens.

The projec t was or ganised b y residen t Christine B everidge who joined w ith neighbours and Counc il to design, construct and plant six new verge gardens.

The projec t was made possible b ya $1,500 grant as part of Marrickv ille Council’s Sustainable Streets Program.

The program is no w in i ts second y ear, and has seen o ver a kilometre of new gardens planted in Marrickv ille streets. H undreds of volunteers have been involved in designing and planting the gardens.

Mayor J o Ha ylen said the program was very popular.

“It’s helpin g to mak e our environment

better and our community stronger. Residents have told me that the verge gardens are grea t con versation starters – neighbours learn each other ’s names while digging, or spreading some mulch,” she said.

The Counc il’s website is moti vating and moving the people.

“We’ve have nearly 2,500 hits on the web page in the last year. Several hundred residents have downloaded the how-to guide, and w e ha ve r eceived m ore t han 7 0 r equests for verge gardens,” Cr Haylen said.

“This is another grea t e xample of ho w Council is w orking w ith ou r residen ts to make Marrickv ille an e ven better place to live,” she added.

In early November, during a community planting d ay, the finishin g touches w ere added to the six new Ewart Street gardens, including four new street trees and a di verse mix o f appro ximately 2 00 lo wgrowing plants.

The gar dens w ill be main tained b y the residents, with additional weed control assistance from Council’s Sustainable Streets officer on request.

Ms B everidge said the v erge gar dens would encourage local residents to participate in community life, leading to a sense of belonging, connec tedness, and pride in their area.

ACCF CEO Joe Tooma says it is startling Australian women were still avoiding having a Pap test that could potentially save lives.

Friday 15 November 2013 the inner city weekender

Almost two in three women who took part in a candid Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation (ACCF) survey admitted their top barriers to having a regular Pap test were feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable about having the potentially life-saving procedure conducted.

The ACCF online poll surveyed more than 100 Australian women on the Pap test to help understand why almost 43 per cent of Australian women between 18 and 69 years are not having the recommended two-yearly procedure.

The quick poll results were released to coincide with National Cervical Cancer Awareness Week.

The majority of respondents said

The Salvation Army’s Dr Bruce Redman said that one in two Salvation Army clients will not be able to afford gifts for family members and friends this Christmas.

“Christmas is a hard time for people doing it tough,” said Dr Redman.

Kmart Managing Director, Guy Russo, praised the continued support of the Appeal across Australia.

“Each year we continue to be astounded at the thoughtful gifts placed under the Wishing Tree and I know this year will be no different.”

Donations are now open at local stores and stores right across the country. Just look for the big tree!

Innovative approach to graffit i sees school children design masterpiece

BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

A

new initiative will be introduced

by Marrickv ille Counc il designed to eradic ate graffi ti and encourage more y outh to tak e up their art form in a controlled way.

Students f rom T empe P ublic S chool will create a mural in a prev iously out-ofbounds area at the school this week as part of Council’s ‘Live to Create’ program.

Artist Nathan Dawson and Tempe Public School teacher B arton W illiams w ill collaborate w ith groups of fi ve studen ts to create the mural.

The artist demonstration projec t is part of a series of ac tivities tha t w ill inspire local young people to e xperience new artistic practices, while discouragin g illegal graffiti and vandalism.

Mr W illiams iden tified the opportuni ty after a ‘Li ve to Crea te’ lec ture was deli v-

Mayor Jo Haylen at the mural demonstration project. ered a t the school b y Warner Awareness Education, who specialise in creative education programs.

Marrickville Ma yor J o Ha ylen said the initiative enabled y oung people to g et

creative and utilise the space pro vided in a positive and legal way.

“Local kids c an learn ho w to produce, design and c reate works of artistic e xcellence from experienced artists. We want

our community to be vibrant and creative.

This is a great outlet for young people as it shows them how to create urban art safely and legally,” she said.

She said there was a difference betw een legal street art and taggin g. Street art is done with the permission of the property owner and had artistic merit such as a mural whereas tagging is the illegal writing of words on private property.

“Street art is w elcome in Marrickv ille.

Tagging is not,” she said.

“Marrickville Counc il has dev eloped a range of solutions to reduce tagging and illegal graffiti.

“For example we run regular workshops about ‘H ow to Graffi ti P roof Y our P roperty’, which teach residents how to install a ‘green screen’ to stop their wall or fence from bein g trea ted as blank c anvas. And we know street art murals are also a highly effective solution for residents.

“Live to Create is one of our more innovative approaches to the issue.”

Third time unlucky: police catch thief on spree

Police remind residents to protect their homes

About 6.20am last Sunday, a male entered a property in Arundel Street, Forest Lodge. He was rummaging through desks and woke the resident during this process.

After a short struggle with the resident over a mobile phone, the male has then made off with a laptop computer.

About 11.05am the same day the male has attempted to enter another property on Trafalgar Street, Petersham. He was observed by the resident reaching through trying to open the window, on being disturbed the male has then ran off.

A third attempt was made a short time later on another unit within the same block. Police attended a short time later and arrested the male as he was attempting to leave the building.

A large number of break and enter crimes are easily preventable. By following these simple steps below you can help reduce such crimes occurring.

• Avoid leaving doors and windows open when you leave the house.

• Avoid leaving side gates and garden sheds unlocked.

• Avoid hiding keys anywhere outside your home.

• Do not place personal details on your keys, such as name and address.

• Avoid leaving large amounts of cash inside your home.

• Avoid leaving cars unlocked in your driveway.

• Do not leave notes on your door stating you are away.

The final countdown to digital-only TV has begun!

Sydney and surrounding areas switch on 3 December 2013* The analog TV switch off is happening on 3 December 2013*– and there’s no turning back.

After this date you won’t see anything if you’re not ready for digital-only TV.

What do I have to do?

Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either: • one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or • a new TV with a built-in digital tuner.

Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to.

Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to check your antenna and cabling.

If you have any other questions, or to find your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer, visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.

Don’t put it off any longer. Get ready for digital TV today.

arrickville Counc il’s li brary is the benefic iary of a $4,000 grant to enhance their staff’s knowledge on how to preserve the library’s historical collection.

The funding will allow a Council staff member t o a ttend a n i ntensive t hreeday workshop in preservation and collection manag ement tha t w ill be hel d in four loc ations: the Na tional Librar y of A ustralia, the Na tional Archi ves of Australia, the Na tional M useum of Australia and the Na tional Film and Sound Archive in Canberra.

Mayor J o Ha ylen said the gran t and workshop training was crucial in helping to preserve the Marrickville History Collection for residen ts who wan ted access to the information.

“While the gran t provides the funds, the w orkshop offers the e xpertise to help us protec t our collec tion and make it accessible to all our residents,” she said.

“It’s so important that our community understands and has a stron g sense of our past, and wha t has led us to our present,” she added.

“Council takes its responsibility to record and promote our di verse cultural history for c urrent and future g enerations very seriously.”

The grant is part of the lar ger picture for the National Library who is leading the push for the preservation of historical artefac ts for future g enerations in local libraries in NSW.

Putting our hair in the hands of someone else is something that most of us do about once every month and to do it takes a lot of trust.

As much as I trust my hairdresser, there is not a single appointment that I haven’t gone into without feeling slightly nervous – yes, hair grows back but it only takes one slip up to ruin a hairstyle for a good month or so.

As someone who has nev er coloured m y hair , I ha ve never had to deal w ith the stress that comes with a colour appointment, however, I have lived through it with a couple of f riends. The most recen t case was w ith a colleague of mine who was preparin g herself for a drama tic colour change; from black to red.

This y oung w oman has chan ged her hair colour man y times before and w ill often do i t herself, takin g the risk into her own hands, but this time dec ided to get the help of a professional.

The first time she came into the office with her brand new hair, it looked fantastic; bright, vibrant and shiny – just what you would expect from a professional.

But the perks of the new hair stopped righ t there and then bec ause after just one wash, the colour that she was assured would be permanent began to fade. The ends of her hair were significantly lighter and after a couple more washes, the ends w ere almost blond.

Not one to complain, m y colleague raised the question with me: what should she do?

The answer we came up w ith was simple, y our hairdresser is en tirely responsible for y our hair a nd if something goes wrong they have to accept responsibility and fix the issue.

My colleague did g o back and had her hair re- coloured but even the second time, it wasn’t perfect.

She w ill nev er g o back to the same place again and when ask ed about her adv ice to others, her response was simple: do your research!

Prevention is the key to horrible cat disease FIV

A massive difference to heart diagnosis

We all kno w that there are man y diseases that are similar in pets and peo ple. Dogs get cancer like people do and cats often dev elop kidney failure lik e people do.

But many people don’t know that pet cats are susceptible to a disease caused by a virus called FIV, which is very similar t o t he v irus r esponsible f or A IDS SAM in people. It is important to remember KOVAC that while it is related to HIV, no human Southern Cross has ev er been reported to be infec ted Veterinary Clinic with FIV. 9516 0234 In the inner c ity, feline AID S is a big 60 Princes Hwy, problem with studies showing beSt Peters tween 14 per cen t and 29 per cen t of cats are infected with the virus.

Like HIV in people, FIV in terferes with the immune system of c ats and c an make them more susceptible to chronic diseases and man y types of c ancer. Most cats infected with the virus show no signs until the disease progresses. Late signs of the disease c an include a poor coa t, sores around the mouth and weight loss.

The main way pet cats get infected with FIV is through bites or scratches by other, often feral, c ats. Cats who spend some time outdoors are a t a much higher risk of c atching FIV. Kittens can also be infected by their mother through the placenta.

What can be done to prevent this disease?

There are limi ted trea tment options once a c at is infec ted with FIV, so prevention is key in controlling this disease.

Fortunately there is a new lo w- cost vacc ine w ith few side effects available that is about 85 per cent effective in preventing infection in pet cats. Many veterinarians stock this vaccine nowadays. Preventing your cat from going outdoors is also a good way to prevent the disease. Consider getting any new cat into the home FIV tested before introducing them.

There has been a lot of controversy lately about the role of dietary cholesterol in heart disease and more and more research saying sugar has even more to do with it than fat intake. Whatever you believe there’s no doubt heart disease is bad news but a new method of scanning the heart using high resolution images and radioactive tracers could help identify people at highest risk of a heart attack.

The test, dev eloped by researchers a t the Uni versity of E dinburgh, c an iden tify dan gerous fa tty plaques in the heart’ s arteries, which can lead to clots if they rupture.

The radioac tive tracers seek out ac tive and dan gerous plaques, and when combined with high resolution images of the heart and blood v essels can provide a picture of the main danger areas.

“I suspect not all plaques detec ted will cause a heart attack, but i t coul d be useful for iden tifying high risk pa tients who need aggressive therapy,” said cardiologist Dr Marc Dweck.

Findings could help doctors in dec iding upon treatment for patients, whether i t be presc ription of dr ugs, suggesting lifestyle changes or offering medical procedures.

The new sc an was tested on 40 pa tients who had recen tly had a heart a ttack, and highligh ted the plaque which c aused heart attacks in 37 of the pa tients, the study published in the Lancet Medical Journal revealed.

It is the first time a scan has identified danger zones, but further research is needed to discover if the detection of dangerous plaques before, ra ther than after, a heart a ttack can save lives. S cientists w ill e xamine high- risk pa tients, includin g those who are about to have surgery.

Dr Dweck said if the scan or similar ones proved successful it would make a “massive difference”.

“Heart attacks are the biggest killer in the Western world and there is no prior warnin g, the first time people kno w about heart disease is when they have a heart attack,” he said.

“If we can treat and stabilise the plaques then w e might be able to prevent heart attacks and stop people dying.”

Consentino: The Magic, The Mystery, The Madness!

A

s a li ttle bo y, Cosen tino was transfix ed b y a m ystical magic book he found in the librar y but nev er could have guessed that two decades on he’d be a great illusionist with his own empire of tours and TV shows.

SHANNON COCHRANE

The V ictorian- born Cosen tino, who is undoubtedly A ustralia’s most reno wned magician, is c urrently on his na tion-wide tour ‘ The Magic, The M ystery, The Madness’ and w ill perform at The Star on S aturday, November 16 and November 17.

With stag e illusions, dea th def ying escapes and street magic, the sho w is entertaining and gives fans the opportunity to see Cosen tino’s m ysterious stun ts on stage rather than on a television screen.

“It’s one thing to see it all on TV and then it’s a completely different thing to see it all live. When someone levitates right before your very eyes, or I disappear right before your v ery eyes and appear in the audience, it’s very potent stuff, it’s much more powerful,” he said.

Many of the show’s adrenalin rush stunts are risky , and Cosen tino has prev iously sustained injuries includin g blo wn ear drums, cracked ribs and a broken ankle.

“The danger element is all very real, there’s no illusion about that,” he said.

Cosentino’s c urrent tour coinc ides w ith his three-part telev ision special, with the

final episode due to air on Channel 7 on Wednesday, November 20.

Each sho w is a one hour lon g pro gram of impressive, slickly staged illusion and tricks but behind the scenes, it took a y ear of brainstormin g, planning and shooting.

“It’s tak en a y ear to wri te the sho w and put it together… it’s very easy coming up with the idea… but in my craft, ho w do y ou mak e i t a reali ty?

How do you levitate someone, how do you disappear right before someone ’s very eyes? It’s a very creative process

we ha ve to go through in or der to bring it to life and then of course t here’s the choosing of loc ations, then there ’s costumes and lighting,” he said.

But despite the extreme effort the sho w requires, i t’s all w orth i t for Cosen tino, who has wan ted to be an illusionist since he was a young boy.

“I came across this book in the library and the book had all these really fasc inating ol d vaudev illian posters… it was just very a ttractive to me and a t the back of this book they had tricks tha t you would learn magic f rom. S omething about the imagery really captured my imagination, I guess that’s why now in my shows the imagery is so strong and powerful,” he said.

This boyhood dream turned in to a reality when Cosen tino was 21 and dec ided to take a break f rom his university degree in business to pursue his life-lon g love of magic.

It was a diffic ult pa th to tra vel, w ith Cosentino finding that there were no real Australian stage magicians who had set an example for him.

Although he has often been compared to Criss Angel, Cosentino said that he was not influenced by the American illusionist growing up, but appreciates his work.

“I was doin g it before he ac tually was, I was doing that kind of style before him, ” he said.

Cosentino w ill be performin g for tw o nights only a t the The Star, on No vember 16 and 17 as part of his ‘ The Magic, The Mystery, The Madness’ tour.

America's Next Top Model FOX 8 November 19

National 1300138771 quotes@misterplywood.com.au 163ICD3638

Spicks and Specks lineup announced Australia’s Got Talent is over for another year and yet again another singing act has taken out the top prize. Indie band Uncle Jed, who won the Channel Nine series last Sunday, is now the seventh music act, if you include Justice Crew, to take out the competition from seven ‘AGT’ seasons.

Unbelievable. I’m just about over these singers!

Two popular shows returning to Foxtel next week include the 20th season of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ on FOX 8 and the brand new series of ‘Project Runway’ on Arena.

A number of high profile judges are set to join ‘Project Runway’ this season including Kate Bosworth, Kelly Osbourne, Sigourney Weaver and Kaley Cuoco.

Night owls may have noticed recently that Conan O’Brien’s late night talk show on GO! has disappeared. It’s understood the network isn’t able to air the series any more as it’s no longer being produced by Warner Bros, a Nine affiliate.

What a shame!

Popular UK drama series ‘Downton Abbey’ has been renewed for a fifth season by English broadcaster ITV. ‘Downton Abbey’ is one of the hottest international shows at the moment, which has seen it win a number of Emmys during its four-year run.

We mentioned a few months ago that popular ABC show ‘Spicks and Specks’ will be making a comeback next year after a number of years off the screen. It was reported that comedians Josh Earl and Adam Richard along with former Killing Heidi singer Ella Hooper will form the panel.

Lastly, I wanted to wish Channel Ten’s Morning Television Producer and Breakfast TV mastermind, Adam Boland, all the best during this tough time.

Boland has been working tirelessly over the past year to launch the new ‘Wake Up’ and ‘Studio 10’ brands at Ten and he needs a rest!

20 The violent outburst

entertainment

that drew me to you

T

eenagers ha ve lon g been known for ha ving “ attitude problems”, and no w adolescent anger is explored in dramatic form in a grippin g play at the Riverside Theatres.

The thir d and final installmen t of the SHANNON COCHRANE

2013 True West Theatre Season, ‘The Violent Outburst That Drew Me To You’ is set to shock and impress audiences.

The play, written by Finegan Kruckemeyer, will be performed at the Riverside Theatres in Parrama tta f rom Thursda y, No vember 21 through to Saturday, November 30.

The stor y is cen tered around 16- yearold Connor, who is perpetually an gry and annoyed w ith people and thin gs he once used to like or enjoy.

More concerning is Connor’s inability to understand why he is angry, and his struggle to con trol his feelin gs, which leads him to isolate himself in the middle of the country.

While Connor has resigned himself to being alone w ith his an ger forev er, he soon discovers that he has company in the middle of no where, meeting a girl in the

woods who shares his rage issues.

With clever writing and a talen ted c ast, ‘The V iolent Outburst Tha t Drew M e T o You’ s ets o ut t o e xplore t he r eality a nd consequences of teenag e rage and, while unsettling, is sure to rin g true for an yone who has been on the recei ving end of bad attitude from teens.

The pla y was wri tten b y Finegan Kruckemeyer, one of the coun try’s most exciting and talen ted playwrights, whose works ha ve been performed ac ross Europe, Asia and America.

He is the inaugural recipient of a Sydney Myer Crea tive F ellowship, and his pla y ‘The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy’ is in talks to be performed on Broadway.

‘The Violent Outburst Tha t Drew M e To You’ is brough t to life on the stag e by director Ka te Gaul, who has w orked w ith every major thea tre compan y in S ydney on music als, opera, drama and Shak espeare.

She is the c urrent Artistic Direc tor of Siren Theatre Co, where she has w orked on productions including ‘The Lunch H our’, ‘The New Elec tric B allroom’ and Shak espearean classics ‘As You Like It’, ‘Richard III’ and ‘Twelfth Night’.

The c ast includes talen ted ac tors Emily Ayoub, Branden Christine, An thony Weir, Michael Cutrupi and Kate Worsley and the

RIVERSIDE THEATRE NOVEMBER 21-30 play is set to the music of Daryl Wallis.

Gutsy win for Sydney Despite having players down, Sydney FC posted a great win over the Melbourne Victory BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

S

ydney FC showed their class last w eekend when they took on the M elbourne Victory a t Alliance Stadium to come away with a gutsy 3-2 win.

And this was all w ith much of the game bein g played with just 10 men when defender Marc Warren was sent off for a professional foul.

Scoring in the third minute, Sydney FC looked destined to score a bag of goals. With confidence up and bolstered b y the inclusion of superstar striker Alessandro Del Piero who returned from injury, the team was on its game.

With two goals scored w ithin 15 minutes, the Sky Blues were in cruise control.

But the M elbourne V ictory scored tw ice in quick succession and a t the 26th minute mark the scores were level at 2-2.

Del P iero was fouled b y Contreras in the bo x and was awarded the penalty. Del Piero stepped up and net ted the ball for a 3- 2 lead going into

the break.

In the second half M elbourne V ictory managed to c reate opportunities but coul dn’t c apitalise on their chances.

Sydney FC stuck to their guns and w ere committed in defence tha t would see them w in the game, and take out the Beyond Blue Cup. A crowd of 18,784 were there to watch the nail biter, but were relieved to see their team hold on for a deserved win.

Seb R yall pla yed an in tegral part in the Sky Blues win, but was injured after scorin g S ydney FC’s second goal on the night when Adama Traore’s clearing header smashed in to his face and then into the net.

“I split my tooth in half,” said Ryall.

“To come back on w ith a brok en tooth and a busted up nose was quite tough but we needed the win, it was very important to us.”

A trip to the den tist and the tooth is no w all fixed up.

“I... was pretty lucky that he could fix it all up.”

Tonight the Sky Blues are in M elbourne when they face the Heart at AAMI Park. With a win, it gives them the chance to climb the lad der and get within reach of their cross city counterparts.

Without the other mar quee pla yer Harr y Kewell in the side, the H eart ma y w ell find i t difficult to get off the bottom of the ladder after this weekend.
