Flying high for fun CALEB Johnson spends much of his time taking a different view to many of his friends. As they line the sides of the skate bowl on Hastings foreshore Caleb performs. Riding first down the steep sides of the bowl he uses the momentum to launch himself off the other side. Twists of the handlebars, pushing the bike sideways and twisting the entire bike are all in Caleb’s repertoire. A somersault is often completed before he safely lands on the lawns sloping up to the edge of the bowl. But perhaps most impressive of all is the air space he puts betwen his captivated audience as he flies over the benches. No one flinches. They trust their mate not to drop in too early.

Warriors worries

Picture: Yanni

By Mike Hast WESTERNPORT Warriors has to find a welfare agency partner to play in the Reclink Australia Victorian Football League next year. Rules covering the 13 teams in the league are being tightened by Reclink with all teams required to find an agency or disband. Warriors’ founder Andrew Brady, a former police sergeant based in Hastings, is worried the team will not find an agency and be forced to fold. “Being part of the Warriors has been a great motivation for many unem-

ployed young people,” Mr Brady said. “Some have gained the confidence to go on and start their own businesses.” The Warriors was started in 2005 by Mr Brady. It had an immediate impact on the league as one of the top teams and made the grand final, losing by just one point. “The team has had a positive impact on the town, too. It helped break down barriers between police and unemployed youth, some of whom had been in trouble with the police,” Mr Brady said. Well-known footballers who helped inspire the fledgling club included

Garry Wilson, Don Scott and Peter “Spida” Everett. Mr Brady left the force four years ago, but has coached or been associated with the team for six of its eight years, but is uncertain how long he can continue to coach. Reclink Australia is a charitable organisation that provides sport and arts activities to help people experiencing disadvantage. Reclink footy had its genesis in 1988 when Peter Cullen of Sacred Heart Mission used recreation as street outreach. Kick to kick sessions became a four-team league in 1991.

He said playing football gave people hope, a sense of meaning, new friends and networks, and the opportunity to develop as people. The Warriors have received wide support from the community with two of the longest sponsors being David Vanderuit of Tall Trees in Balnarring and Mick Loveridge of LW Marine of Hastings. Mr Brady said federal MP Greg Hunt and state MP Neale Burgess were supporters. Reclink Victoria state manager Joe Rotella said the Warriors had until September to find a partner agency.

Other teams had support from agencies such as the Brotherhood of St Laurence, Odyssey House and Western Region Health Centre, he said. “Teams needing an agency is all about creating sustainable programs,” he said. “We’re trying to become more professional in the way the league operates. We need to satisfy OH&S requirements.” Mr Brady is hoping to meet various agencies in coming weeks and ask them to help the Warriors. “It’s a great program; I’d hate to see it end,” he said.

Slow recovery for snowboard agent HASTINGS real estate agent Ben Tallon is “generally moving forward in the right direction” as he recovers from a severe head injury sustained while snowboarding at Mt Buller. His wife Wendy said late Monday that her husband remained in intensive care at The Alfred hospital after being airlifted from the snowfields more than two weeks ago. “He’s lapsing in and out of consciousness, but he’s no longer in the induced coma,” Mrs Tallon said. “He’s obviously still very ill, but in the early stages of recovery. It can be a very slow process of healing and rehabilitation, and this is still early days.” Mrs Tallon said she and the couple’s children, Lexie, 11, and Will, 8, were at the bottom of the Bourke Street ski run when they saw Mr Tallon fall into the snow about 50 to 100 metres away. The three had just finished a lesson in snowboarding and were waiting for Mr Tallon, an experienced skier but new to snowboarding. “It was not a big fall, but he didn’t get up and it looked like he was in a bit of trouble; he didn’t call out,” Mrs Tallon said. “We think he might have had a fall further up the slope and was trying to get back down.” Luckily, Mr Tallon fell close to the Mt Buller medical centre where he was immediately placed on life support and treated for about two hours before being taken to The Alfred. Once at the hospital Mr Tallon was placed in an induced coma for about one and a half weeks. “He’d been gone for about 90 minutes while we were having our lesson,” Mrs Tallon said. “We saw him come down the run a few times and then get on the lift. “It was really a coincidence that we saw him fall. He was wearing goggles and a ski suit but no helmet. “This really shows you what can happen.” Mrs Tallon said it was her 47-year-old husband’s second time on a snowboard.

Vandals use extinguishers POLICE are searching for vandals who caused $40,000 damage to the Wagtail Cottage Childcare and Early Learning Centre in Somerville. After breaking the glass in the front door to gain entry, vandals sprayed the walls and ceilings with foam from three fire extinguishers, ruining carpets, computers, printers and a fax machine. Artwork by three- and four-year-olds attending the centre was also ruined. The centre, which sits in an Edna Walling-designed garden on FrankstonFlinders Rd, has been forced to hire a mini-bus after its own vehicle was vandalised in the raid. Owner Therese Weiss said the break-in and damage was “a disgrace, absolutely disgusting”. She said the attack happened between a staff meeting that ended at about 8.45pm on Monday 9 July and 6.45am the following day. Ms Weiss said comments criticising the destruction had been posted on Facebook. “There’s been lost of activity there. Even some of the kids are pretty disgusted that someone would attack Wagtail Cottage.” Ms Weiss said parents had been forced to make alternative childminding arrangements while a team of eight cleaners spent two days cleaning up the mess. “We have 75 to 80 children a day and had to meet parents in the drive to tell them what had happened. They have been incredible, despite the inconvenience, calling me to see how I was.” Detective Leading Senior Constable Darren Sherren, of Hastings police, labelled the break-in as “wanton destruction”. Anyone with information can call Detective Sherren on 5979 7850.

Renew Hastings strong interest By Mike Hast RENEW Hastings is a goer after more than 70 people attended a meeting two weeks ago to hear a presentation by the “guru” of town centre revival Marcus Westbury. Mr Westbury founded Renew Newcastle with his own money in 2008 and within six months a shabby, vandalised and derelict mall with very little foot traffic had become a vibrant shopping area of the NSW industrial town, which has been hit hard by closures and retrenchments in recent years. His simple idea – now being taken up around Australia in other city precincts and country towns – is to encourage short-term use of empty shops and offices by artists, creative projects and community initiatives. After the success of Renew Newcastle, a national scheme was formed, Renew Australia. Renew Australia finds short- and medium-term uses for buildings that are currently vacant, disused or awaiting redevelopment. Using flexible “licence to access agreements”, the group finds artists, cultural projects and community groups to activate and maintain buildings until they become commercially viable or are redeveloped. Mr Westbury’s visit was a a joint venture between the Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s economic development unit. Chamber president Lisa Dixon told The News the turnout at the Westernport Hotel on 10 July was gratifying. “We invited retail property owners, traders, residents and community leaders to the meeting and 74 attended,” she said.

“We had a number of people contact the chamber to say they couldn’t make the morning meeting, but wanted to be kept informed, which was a good sign.” Ms Dixon, who operates Dominion Hill Gifts in Hastings, said the scheme’s key elements included:  People would stay in a shop for just 30 days.  There would be blanket public liability insurance with occupiers paying $20 a week.  Landlords were protected contractually. “The 30-day limit satisfied landlords at the meeting,” Ms Dixon said. “Occupiers can move to another shop for a second 30-day period if they want to keep their venture going or sign a normal commercial lease.” She said other renew projects had seen many occupiers go on to start successful businesses after two 30-day stints. Occupants had run weird, whacky and wonderful ventures, she said. “We’ve already had inquiries from people who want to run craft and art ventures, memorabilia collections and hobby stuff.” Hastings landlord Ken Ingersoll, Ms Dixon’s partner, said it was a brilliant idea. Ms Dixon said a steering committee would be formed. “Neale Burgess and Cr Reade Smith have put up their hands to be part of the committee,” she said. “We will develop a strategy and stay in touch with landlords.” Ms Dixon said ideas to revive Hastings were suggested soon after BlueScope announced in August it would close its hot strip mill and a metal coating plant in October with the loss of about 270 jobs.

Shire debt correction seen as a ‘mistake’

Pier off limits as work progresses ANGLERS tend to be patient by nature, and those who cast a line at Hastings are getting used to fishing the waters close to shore after being barred from the end of the jetty. While workmen and workboats clatter about the end of the pier, removing and replacing piles, the fishers gaze wistfully into the depths. Once completed, the $570,000 pier will have a new fishing platform as well as a floating pontoon for boats. Picture: Yanni

By David Harrison A CORRECTION brought to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council over shire debt itself contains serious errors that should be altered, according to experts on council budgets. On 25 June Cr David Gibb moved to clarify “incorrect information” in a motion passed at the previous meeting on 18 June. That meeting declared Mornington Peninsula Shire had a $38 million debt and that a further $29 million would be added by borrowings required to build the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. The figures were included in a letter to Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell, asking her to investigate the approval process for Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. An indignant Cr Gibb told the council that the 18 June motion “was a silly motion put up by silly people both within council and outside council, without basis of facts”. At the 18 June meeting he was, in the absence of three of his allies – Antonella Celi, mayor Frank Martin and Bill Goodrem – in the minority, unable to prevent the “silly motion” being passed by the five councillors who oppose SPA’s proposed foreshore site. He told the council: “The public record from last week was falsely and wrongly stated, not quoting from council documents. “It would be wrong of council to leave on the public record the wrong information put in last week’s motion.” His first “correction” was: “Consistent with council’s draft budget on exhibition, loan borrowings for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre is forecast to be $12 million, not $29 million.”

Secondly, he stated: “In addition, and consistent with the draft budget on exhibition, the shire’s existing debt as at 30 June 2012 will be $35.273 million and at the end of the 2015-16 financial year is projected to be $30.468 million.” The experts point to the shire’s proposed budget, which states on page 76 that the debt will be $37.932 million at the end of the financial year – the figure used in the letter to Ms Powell. They claim that Cr Gibb quoted only borrowings of $35.273 million, to which must be added $1.069 million for a finance lease and $1.595 million in unfunded superannuation. The shire’s unfunded superannuation figure could soon rise considerably – councils across Victoria have been told they are collectively $400 million short of their super liability. Cr Gibb’s final “correction” – hotly contested by opposing councillors – is: “There is no evidence or expectation that SPA will displace other council services or infrastructure that are of a higher priority.” Councillors and others point to a shire admission that the 10-year $30 million drainage plan is “barely scratching the surface” of the flooding problem; the state of shire roads; and refurbishment programs that span decades that are being impacted by the Rosebud SPA proposal. Cr Gibb concluded the debate by stating that Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings “has been a tearaway success” and that “SPA will be even better”. The Hastings aquatic centre and cafe has lost well over $6 million since it opened in late 2003. The cafe was recently leased to a private operator to halt the $1.8 million ratepayer subsidy that has been poured into it over the years.

Wildlife under threat from fishing gear By Klarissa Garnaut FISHING is one of the region’s favourite pastimes, but it hides a darker side that many people are not aware of. Wildlife in both Port Phillip and Western Port sustain horrendous injuries from discarded fishing gear around piers, rocks or from boats. Fatalities increase during the warmer months with the onslaught of holidaymakers and keen anglers. Seals and sea turtles all suffer, while for seabirds it is mainly the deep-diving phelagic fishing birds – Australasian gannets, Pacific gulls, large pied cormorants, kelp gulls and penguins – that feed on shoals of pilchards and similar-sized bait fish. As juveniles, these birds never see a whole fish until they leave their parents and hunt on their own. If they have been hindered by the loss of a parent, the crash of natural food supplies or are late finishing birds, they will float around, slowly starving to death or attempt to raid lines. Sadly, many anglers cut loose these birds without freeing them from the line, which can lead to them being strangled, infected or unable to fly. Eventually, it can lead to a slow death from starvation. Our estuary and creek birds make up a high percentage of those involved in entanglements: pelicans, swans, little pied cormorants, darters, waders and an assortment of ducks and gulls just to name a few. The rise and fall of the tide exposes lines, hooks and old baits caught on embankments and pylons. Most of these are cut off by people when they become snagged, and the dabblers and foragers become hopelessly caught, especially young birds like cormorants that ingest the whole mass, thinking they have come across an easy meal. It is a tragedy to lose adult birds by human negligence as they are the breeding stock. Looking after fishing-impacted wildlife is costly for wildlife career. Initial treatment can involve anesthetics or sedation, x-rays and exploratory surgery. If all goes well, the medical treatment is followed by rehabilitation. The estuary and creek birds need deep wading pools, quiet sandy yards and correct diets.

Seabirds should only be rehabilitated at a facility with a pool deep enough for diving and with a large enclosed sand yard where the bird can move and stretch its massive wings. These birds can go through a two-kilogram block of Western Australian pilchards in a matter of days and at $13.50 a bag it can be expensive. There are also the oral fluids needed, vitamin tablets and antibiotics. At this time of year we are experiencing the annual die-off of adult little penguins. They are weak birds that come in at a higher frequency if the water is turbulent and murky, making it harder for them to seek the fish they need. I have been lucky to be mentored by two wonderful people in rehabilitating seabirds. Marg Healy, formerly of the Phillip Island Nature Park, has an amazing wealth of knowledge with more than 20 years’ experience. Mandy Hall, a terrific and energetic seabird “rehabber”, has made massive inroads into getting better laws to protect our birds. The amazing, uncomplaining vets patiently cater to all the oddities we send their way and are truly inspiring. It is reasonably quiet at the moment, caring for two penguins, two juvenile female brushtail possums, two sugar gliders, two baby bluetongue lizards and one microbat. The penguins need to gain some weight and become waterproof and the other animals are waiting for the warmer weather and more growth. It is important that we give the same care and attention to possums as we do to more unusual species. We need donations of good, solid avaries, carry cages, shade cloth and towels, and we prefer people to see how their donations are used by volunteering or to sign up as rescuers. We do not accept money at the gate but donations can be made to WHOMP (Wildlife Help On the Mornington Peninsula).

Fingers crossed after Friday 13 protest OPINION By Andrew Bell THE residents of Dartnell Close in Crib Point came out on Friday 13 July in support of a push to have the disaster zone at their street entrance finally dealt with by the authorities. Enough was enough for the band of residents fed up with the likes of Metro Trains, VicRoads, Mornington Peninsula Shire and South East Water to finally come to grips with the state of the road and surrounding land adjacent to the Morradoo train station. The T-intersection of Dartnell Close and Disney St, which happens to be frightfully close to the narrow and crumbling rail crossing of the Stony Point line, has become a dumping ground for the authorities listed above. In recent weeks, Metro Trains “upgraded” the rail crossing on Disney St but, in its wake, has left the site dangerous, narrow, crumbling and flooded – an accident waiting to happen. Recent rains were thought to be the cause of the inordinate amount of water pooling around the edges of the intersection, spilling out onto the running lanes of Disney St, but close investigations by residents and Hastings MP Neale Burgess, who was summoned to a meeting in quick time, have discovered the damage that Metro Trains has contributed. Mr Burgess, speaking to the concerned dozen or so residents who turned out on very quick notice, gave assurances that his office would contact all parties involved in the debacle and have the intersection repaired once and for all. He heard the concerns, ranging from dumped material from the rail works that obstructs a driver’s vision as they attempt to pull out of their street, to the cascade of water bubbling out of the ground beside the road, contributing to the flooded intersection and concealing a pothole the size of Queensland, which is ruin-

ing the front end of every vehicle that negotiates the road and rail intersection. Other concerns were the amount of debris strewn about the intersection from vehicles exploding out of the potholes and from fourwheel drive and dirt bike drivers who tear up and down the land alongside the rail line every weekend. This parcel of land is teeming with amphibian life and native mammals, but is systematically being destroyed by idiots and disrespectful weekend warriors, which no one seems to have to power to deal with. This intersection has been debated for many years. It is dangerous. Residents have to turn over double lines on the road just to enter their street. To turn into Dartnell Close from the east, drivers have to hope other road users don’t plough into the back of them because Disney St narrows considerably as it runs over the rail line. The position of the boom gates and crossing signs has encroached so far into the shoulder of Disney St that if two buses where to cross the rail line at any one time, the drivers could smell each other’s breath. This encroachment adds to the obstructed line-of-sight from residents exiting Dartnell, not to mention the dangerous situation that occurs every time a funeral is conducted at Crib Point cemetery, where mourners are forced to park in long lines along the decaying shoulder on Disney to the immediate west of the rail crossing. You couldn’t ask for a more dangerous situation. Hopefully Mr Burgess can provoke the authorities to return our nook of Crib Point back to the environmentally stable, driver-friendly, pedestrian-safe and dry place it once was. The time to act is now. The time for buckpassing must stop.

Pot luck: Despite the good luck reputation of rainbows, potholes lurk beneath the colourful reflections at this railway crossing in Crib Point. Picture: Kirsty and Madison Bell

Artist has a view for inspiration By Keith Platt HIGH on a hill overlooking the sea at Mt Martha, Bill Caldwell and his wife Dale visualise days spent overlooking the Aegean Sea in Greece. It is not hard, as the comparisons are there: blue waters stretching to the horizon, small boats bobbing in the waves and a house that borrowed a lot in its design from those built in Greece. Caldwell is a painter who has become known for his works created and inspired by the land and seascapes of Greece, Italy and France. A long-time frequent visitor to those countries, he says the journeys were a necessity to force him to take a break from his profession as a graphic designer and concentrate on his canvasses. These days, the Caldwell Design Studio (run by Bill and Dale) is a thing of the past and Caldwell can concentrate on his art. “I still do a bit of graphic design and teach art,” he says. In October he will teach oil painting to beginners over six weeks for the Peninsula Art Society. But it is an exhibition at the end of this month that is now claiming Caldwell’s attention. He is a member of the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society, about to hold its 94th annual exhibition. Caldwell has been a member of the invitation-only society for eight years. His fellow current members are Angela Abbott, Greg Allen, June Barnett, Margaret Cowling, John Dudley, Stephen Doyle, Jacqueline Fowler, Amanda Hyatt, Lee Machelak, Barbara McCallum, Paul McDonald-

Everday art: Bill Caldwell once was forced to take holidays to concentrate on his art. Retirement (from his graphic design business) now means he can paint daily. Picture: Yanni

Smith, Ross Paterson, Herman Pekel, Clive Sinclair, Peter Smales, David Taylor, Maxwell Wilks, Judith Wills and Joseph Zbukvic. Now free to cover his canvasses in oils, pastels and watercolour, Caldwell says his art was always a distinct contrast to his output as a graphic de-

signer. He describes himself as being an artist “all my life”, but adds that his design business was necessary to generate income. “Most of it was corporate work, including annual reports,” he says. He “put off for years” learning how to do graphics on computer, but says

they led to “the most productive and rewarding years of my life”. It was easy to adapt his typographic and design skills to working on computers, a background that he believes gave him an edge over younger graphic artists. “Going away to Europe was the only

way I could create art for exhibitions. Greece, France and Italy were our favourites, so we kept going back.” The fascination for Greece saw the Caldwells living on the Greek island of Rhodes during the mid-1970s and they have since spent winters in a small village in southwest France. Members of the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society usually submit seven or eight works to the annual exhibition. The society was established in 1918 by a “strong-willed and rebellious group of artists”, says its president Paul McDonald-Smith. “Over nine decades later the society’s aesthetic remains firmly grounded in classical disciplines, as revered by our predecessors, recognising that the pictorial elements of tone, form, colour and drawing are vital prerequisites of fine painting.” Mr McDonald-Smith said present-day members acknowledged “a debt to Max Meldrum’s school of tonal realism”. Past members have included Rupert Bunny, Sir William Dargie, Sir John Longstaff and Clarice Beckett. The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society 94th annual exhibition presented by Jenny Pihan Fine Art opens at 6.30pm Tuesday 31 July and then 10am-5pm daily until Sunday 12 August at the Glen Eira City Council Gallery, corner Hawthorn and Glen Eira roads, Caulfield.

‘NotFair’ for undiscovered artists THE work of more than 30 emerging and undiscovered artists is on show at NotFair 2012 from 1-5 August at 1000 ÂŁ Bend in Melbourne. NotFair started in 2010 as an alternative to a normal art fair, says Archibald Prize winner Sam Leach, one of three curators of this year’s show, entitled “Primal Mutationâ€?. “Rather than invite commercial galleries to present artists, NotFair presents a selected mix of artists – emerging and mid-generation,â€? he said.

“We have called the exhibition Primal Mutation to reflect the strange shifts and tendencies that curators have discovered around the country.� Leach and co-curators Melissa Amore and arts writer Ashley Crawford scoured artists’ studios and graduate exhibitions to find artists working in all creative mediums. “It’s difficult for artists to take that first step into the commercial art world,� Melissa Amore said. “This is a great opportunity for artists to be seen

by collectors, curators and critics.� Ashley Crawford said it was called NotFair “because people rarely appreciate the time and overheads artists invest in their work�. The curators said Primal Mutation would present “searing line work, distended bodies, animated visions and lyrical poetics. It is a return to the hand and the craft of art making, and somewhat anti-digital, creating a mutated discourse across painting, drawing, installation and photography.�

Among the exhibitors is Simon Finn, who has created charcoal on paper drawings, a nylon sculpture and a digital animation inspired by a collapsing pier on the Mornington Peninsula. ď Ž NotFair 2012 “Primal Mutationâ€? will have its official opening 6-9pm on Thursday 2 August at 1000 ÂŁ Bend, 316 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne. The gallery is open Monday to Friday 10am-6pm and weekends 11am-5pm. Details: Emme Orbach, 0430 662 301 or www.notfair.com.au

A SOMERVILLE woman saved her own house by using a fire extinguisher to put out a fire in her kitchen. Somerville CFA Lieutenant Joe Vetes said the fire was caused by a pot on the kitchen stove overheating when it was left unattended for a few minutes. “Fortunately, the fire was quickly discovered and there wasn’t a lot for Somerville CFA to do when they arrived on scene shortly afterward,� he said. Firefighters had used ventilation equipment to clear smoke out of the house. “The lady of the house is to be commended for putting the fire out before we got there,� Lieutenant Vetes said. “We were really impressed that the family had an extinguisher and knew how to use it. “However, we’d like to remind everyone that someone needs to be in the kitchen keeping an eye on the cooking. “Distractions like a phone call or a visitor that causes the kitchen to be left unattended – even for just a few minutes – will result in more than just your dinner being burnt.� Lieutenant Vetes said firefighters treated the woman for minor smoke inhalation.

Bike owner sought POLICE are seeking the owner of a Honda 450 trail bike found at Tyabb. “The bike is in very good condition�, according to Detective Leading Senior Constable Darren Sherren, of Hastings police. Detective Sherren said the bike was not registered but he believed it may have been missing for about a month. It was handed to police on Friday 13 July. Anyone who has any information about the bike or its owner can call Detective Sherren on 5979 7850.

Hanged Aborigines not resistance fighters Red Hill historian and author Marie Hansen Fels, who has been researching and writing about Aboriginal history for more than 30 years and has published several widely acclaimed books, provides an alternate view to the story about the first men hanged in Melbourne – two Tasmanian Aborigines known to Europeans as Bob and Jack, and their connection to the Mornington Peninsula. By Dr Marie Hansen Fels IT may be a good idea on the part of the Melbourne City Council to erect a memorial to the two Tasmanian Aborigines Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner, known to Europeans in the late 1830s and early 1840s as Bob and Jack. It would be even better to get the facts right instead of what has been published in recent years in a Melbourne daily newspaper. The evidence is available – the Public Record Office of Victoria published in 1984 a book entitled 1842: The Public Executions at Melbourne. The first part of this book tells the story of Bob and Jack, and the documents are printed in full at the back. There is yet more primary evidence in I Succeeded Once: the Aboriginal Protectorate on the Mornington Peninsula, 1839-1840. Bob and Jack’s story is not one of resistance to white colonisation – it is a story of a crime defined by the law of the time, and the punishment of the time, death by hanging. Their deaths were pitiful. At the time, executions were still public entertainment in many countries, and a crowd of thousands gathered for the spectacle. It being the first execution in Melbourne, a new scaffold was constructed, but the design was faulty as the “drop” platform descended only halfway, and Bob and Jack were strangled. One of the spectators had the presence of mind to kick away the platform and Jack then died, but because Bob’s noose had shifted, it took him minutes to die: there was a cry of “shame” from the crowd directed to the hangman. Bob and Jack helped George Augustus Robinson in his “friendly mission” to round up the small surviving population of Tasmanian Aborigines and resettle them on Flinders Island. When Robinson was subsequently appointed Chief Protector of the Port Phillip District and moved to Melbourne with his wife and children, he brought Bob and Jack as well as other favourites including Trucaninni (also spelled Trugannini). The Governor of New South Wales

First blood: The Tasmanian Aborigines Tunnerminnerwait and Maulboyheenner, known to Europeans as Bob and Jack.

gave permission for this on the grounds that the Tasmanians would be of assistance in relationships with the Aborigines of Port Phillip District. At the time virtually every public official received rations from the public purse: there were about 10 different scales for all classes of people from the superintendent down to prisoners in the watch-house, all entitled to different amounts and differing qualities of flour, tea, sugar, salt and soap, sometimes rice or potatoes, sometimes tobacco. Robinson was granted rations for the Tasmanians, but when the authorisation for rations ceased (NSW was in a financial crisis), Robinson cut the Tasmanians adrift. One of Robinson’s assistant protectors, William Thomas, arranged paid employment for some of them, but a group of five or so including Bob and Jack and Trucaninni, Fanny and Maria took to the bush. It is important to note their existence in the bush was not entirely by plunder – sometimes they stayed on stations, probably receiving rations: one example is that of Trucaninni and Maria who spent time with the limeburners at Tootgarook. But they definitely robbed seven stations, shot and wounded four people, and in the end shot and killed two whalers named William Cook and The Yankee on the beach in the neighbourhood of the coal mines at Cape

Patterson: these men were in a group that was overlanding from Lady’s Bay. There is no evidence that Bob and Jack were motivated by resistance to colonisation. There is ample evidence of resistance elsewhere in Victoria – in Gippsland, the northwest of Melbourne and the western district – but not in Melbourne, not in the heart of the country covered by the terms of agreement between Batman and the six Aboriginal signatories who included the most influential “chief” of the Warwoorong (the present day Wurrundjeri) named Billibolary, and the most influential “chief” of the Bonerong (the present day Boon Wurrung and Bunerong groups). The simple and shameful problem in Melbourne and its surrounds was that the Aboriginal people were hungry. The Aboriginal signatories to Batman’s treaties were intelligent, capable men who doubtless thought they could manage to their own advantage the few whites with whom they made the agreement, plus their few animals: they had no way of foreseeing that Europeans would keep coming in increasing numbers with, eventually, huge numbers of livestock. In the end they were swamped by Europeans who had no part in the treaty, and felt no responsibilities, no obligations and who did not provide

the food promised under the terms of the treaty Their livestock ate the murnong, the staple foodstuff dug up by the women: it was reported by one of the protectors that the only place murnong was to be found was within enclosed stockyards quite out of bounds to Aboriginal women. All Aboriginal people needed flour, or rice or potatoes, which they loved, as a replacement for murnong, and they needed meat as a replacement for the game that European stock displaced. As far as flour goes, the chief protector believed that the Aborigines under his protection should work for it, as part of the civilising process. William Thomas, on the other hand, made a strong case for permanent food rations as an obligation on the public purse, on the grounds that the Europeans took the land and it was no longer possible for the Aborigines to get a living: he took matters into his own hands and distributed rations to everyone, and for his pains was reported to La Trobe by the chief protector and didn’t do it again As far as meat goes, William Thomas wrote once that he rode 20 miles on the south of the Yarra and did not see a single kangaroo. The case for meat was put clearly and simply by the influential senior man of the Warwoorong, Windberry. He was one

of 10 Aboriginal men charged with sheep stealing in the Supreme Court of NSW at Melbourne: Redmond Barry defended them. In evidence, Windberry argued that “the sheep eat the grass belonging to his kangaroo, and what for no give him sheep?” (Port Phillip Gazette, 16 January 1841). He is the person who we should be remembering with a monument: his logic cannot be faulted, and it was actually in line with the original British government’s plan, which imagined co-existence as being possible on the same land. Such a monument would be a reproach to us, it is true, but it would tend to make us think, and we would be ashamed of the Europeans of the time who averted their eyes from Aboriginal hunger. It shouldn’t make us feel guilty – guilt for the actions taken by the entrepreneurs of nearly 200 years ago is false and counterproductive. Reflection on Windberry’s statement – which, by the way, is only one piece of evidence out of many records of quiet, articulate expressions of ownership of country – might push us in the direction of a better understanding of what happened. As far as I can tell from the settlers’ names that appear in the records of William Thomas, vicious Europeans around Melbourne were in a minority. Thomas walked and rode all around Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and Western Port, and he speaks overwhelmingly of settlers having Aborigines living around their stations and being employed. Only two people were killed by Aborigines in the country around Melbourne – John Aitken and his servant Franks at Mt Cotterell near the Werribee River. They were known to be stingy with food, did not permit Aborigines on “their” land, and didn’t pay rent under the terms of Batman’s treaties. As for Bob and Jack, most people would feel saddened by their fate. It was not their fault the NSW governor and the chief protector saw fit to walk away from them, and their choice to live by plunder is understandable. But it is not resistance – the Melbourne story is not a story of resistance but a story of European greed, of European betrayal of obligations, and consequent Aboriginal hardship. If we wish to erect a memorial that stands for and represents truth, then Windberry is the man to honour. We also could place on the memorial the other recorded assertions of ownership by the “chiefs” Billibolary, Kollorlook and Benbo.

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Natural materials create great character COMBINING the beautiful, natural characteristics of stone and timber, this sweeping ranch-style property offers an enviable lifestyle with comfort and private tranquil surroundings on an 8000-square metre block. The property has been carefully crafted to blend in with the surroundings. While it would have been easy to blaze a trail with no forethought as to the flora and erect a home, here the main residence and the tall gum trees naturally complement each other and the property is all the richer for it. Superb polished ironbark timber floors and cathedral ceilings with exposed beans feature throughout the main living area. A dining area has been combined with the kitchen, which boasts blackwood cupboards, a dishwasher and a 900mm Lajermani oven and cooktop. A few steps from the lounge is a timber deck undercover entertainment area overlooking the paved aggregate pool and fern garden water feature. The “stone wing” of the home, so evident from outside, is a wonderful step-down rumpus or games room. The only item missing from the feature stone wall is a big marlin that could hang above the open fireplace or, if your pursuits don’t extend to big game fishing, a big screen television would work fine. Under the roofline is a total of 325 square metres (35 squares), which also includes three bedrooms, the main with an ensuite and walk-in robe, and a double carport. Separate from the home is a one-bedroom, self-contained dwelling and other outbuildings including a double garage. The property is serviced by a 30,000-litre water tank and mains water is available for connection. If you want your own piece of paradise within reach of wineries, golf courses and Bittern and Hastings, this outstanding lifestyle property will be hard to go past.

Our Olympic perspective: Judy Pollock reflects WITH the London Olympics just a few days away, PETER McCULLOUGH talks with Olympian Judy Pollock, who has lived on the Mornington Peninsula for more than 50 years. For much of the time she lived in Balnarring and taught at Red Hill Consolidated School. Recently she moved to Dromana where she was happy to reflect on her extensive career in athletics. *** Where did your interest in athletics spring from? At school – at Mt Macedon and then Kyneton High School – I had shown an aptitude for running and always seemed to win most of my races at school sports. Mum was a sporty person and suggested that I might like to run in Melbourne; first she got me playing netball in Melbourne and then I became a member of Mentone Athletic Club. So every Saturday I would catch the diesel down to Melbourne. Mum insisted that I balance culture and sport so on Saturday mornings I attended the Hector Crawford School of Radio Production where we learned to speak on radio and read a play script. After lunch at the T&G Building – I always had baked beans as we never had them at home – I would go out to the University of Melbourne where we would run on a grass track. The first time I went to the track at the university, an official asked me “Have you got starting blocks?” and I replied “What are they?” Fortunately I had a pair of spikes as mum had asked Hope Sweeney to make me a pair. I lined up – crouch start – and ran 100 yards, beating the club champion who was also the Victorian champion. She promptly fainted at this turn of events. I think she was mortified; she was the star of the show and had been beaten by an unknown running her first race. As I was having some success, mum got me a coach: Henri Schubert who was the Victorian Women’s Amateur Athletic coach. This was 1957. Henri would come up to Macedon to train me on a strip across the paddocks that dad had mown for me with the tractor. Even then my main interest was netball (or women’s basketball as it was called in those days). I was a state representative in the under-21 netball team and travelled interstate. However we played on asphalt courts and there was always the danger of being injured in a fall. Eventually my coach told me that I had to make a choice and I chose athletics. Was there a history of athletics in the family? Not really, although my mother had played state netball and dad was a keen footballer and cricketer. They both loved their sport. However in one of those coincidences that crop up occasionally, I once picked up a book, One Man and His Family, written by a cousin of mum’s – he was the Attorney-General in Canberra – and discovered that Raelene Boyle and I are distantly related. We never knew this when we were athletes, but we always had a good relationship. The media generally portrayed Raelene as having too much to say. Was this correct? Perhaps at times, but she was also an instigator of turning things around for athletes. For instance, when she first started they wanted her to wear the official adidas tracksuit and she refused as she worked for Puma. The officials ruled our lives and Raelene didn’t always buckle under, but she was a lovely person. She won two silver medals

enough to make the final but unfortunately that was not the case. It’s history now but the athletes from the Iron Curtain countries were heavily into drugs. So, although it was a disappointment, it was also an achievement as it was the fastest race of my career. As a competitor, were you aware of the drug situation? Not really. If officials had been aware they would have tested those competitors. When I look back it should have been obvious that many of those women from Iron Curtain countries were full of testosterone: they had facial hair, huge muscles and they walked like men. Our achievements were pretty significant when you think what we were up against. The only testing at that time was to check that you were definitely a woman. I had to front up for an inspection even though I had given birth to two children! Strangely, my coach, Henri Schubert, who was German, never mentioned the drug issue. I was running good times and he would be contacted by European coaches enquiring as to his coaching methods. But he never mentioned the drug problem: whether he was ignorant of its extent, or whether people would think he was being unsportsmanlike if he raised the matter, I’m not sure. What of the current debate over sleeping tablets such as Stilnox? I must admit that getting to sleep before a big race was always a problem. The adrenalin would kick in as soon as your head hit the pillow and it was virtually impossible to sleep. If the medication is monitored by medical staff it would be a bonus for the athlete to have a decent night’s sleep.

Training days: Judy Pollock doing track work.

at Munich that would have been gold except that her East German opponent (Renate Stetcher) was one of the early drug cheats. I caught up with Raelene recently at the Prime Minister’s Olympic dinner and we did some reminiscing. Of course she is younger than me but we roomed together at both Munich and Montreal; perhaps they thought I would keep her in line! Did any of your children follow in your sporting footsteps? My son, Nathan, the eldest, played football for Frankston in the VFA and when he was 10 he ran the first 3MP marathon from Frankston to Melbourne. I was on the board of 3MP at the time and it was suggested that I should run. This was a bit of a shock as I had never run a marathon, but we started training and in the end Nathan and his father (Euan), the girl I was training with and I all completed the course. So Nathan was a good allround sportsman. He now lives at Byron Bay and surfing is his interest. Brooke, my elder daughter, played top-level basketball for Eltham and

was a level 10 gymnast. She still loves her sport: down at Port Fairy she is president of the netball club, plays netball and basketball, and is involved in soccer. She also participates in surf carnivals, rowing with the Port Fairy Surf Club. The youngest, Breearna, was national under-21 champion for the pentathlon when she was 14, but found the training too much. However she played other sports. Now I have to look to the next generation. One of Nathan’s daughters is the NSW javelin champion for her age group. I don’t know how that has happened: a thrower instead of a runner! Brooke’s children run their crosscountry events at Port Fairy. All you can hope is that they continue with their sport and that they enjoy it. Are you still running? I do a lot of walking/jogging and I also like to ride a bike on the bike paths. I have also been a keen swimmer and am only a short walk from the beach here at Dromana.

What was the highlight of your athletic career? There were a number of highlights but the standout was winning the bronze medal in the 400 metres at the 1964 Olympics behind Betty Cuthbert and Ann Packer of the UK. I was virtually an unknown then and was lucky to scrape into the team. There were three runners under consideration – Betty, Dixie Willis and me – and we all won a race in the trials so it was decided to send all three. As you move on, other things come to mean more to you: I broke three world records, two of which were at the World Games at Helsinki in 1967. It was the first time women had attended the World Games and I was invited to provide some competition for the European champion, Vera Nikolic, in the 400 and 800 metres. I managed to beat her and she became very distressed. Then, in 1976 at Montreal, at the end of my career, I ran the 800 metres in less than two minutes, the second Australian female to do so. My coach thought a time like that would be good

We talked about the highlights of your career; was there a lowlight? Without a doubt it was the events at Munich in 1972. Although I was injured and unable to compete, I was still living in the Olympic Village and went for a run that morning with our 1500 metre runner, Jenny Orr. We were going around the oval when Jenny said, “Judy. Don’t look now but there is a man up on that balcony with a gun.” I glanced up and there he was; I can still see him now with his balaclava on and holding his gun. We both freaked out and headed for the village gates. We completed our run and then found that we were unable to get back inside again. On the other side was Judy Joy Davies of The Sun trying to get a photograph of us trying to push our way through the throng. We went around to another gate and were able to get in, but we still didn’t know what was going on. A bit later I went out to lunch with mum and dad and heard some details on the radio. When I got back there was a queue a mile long and dad said, “How will we know that you have got back inside safely?” I said “I will coo-ee when I’m inside”, which I did and dad coo-eed back! I no sooner was back inside when a heavily armed soldier shouted “Get down” and pushed me and several others under an army vehicle. A helicopter then came in and landed in the car park just below the truck – I still get goosebumps thinking about it – and loaded the Israeli athletes into the helicopter. They then flew to the airport where all of the athletes were killed. It was terrible. Some officials wanted to cancel the Games. In the end the events for next day were cancelled and a memorial service was held. I think only officials attended from the Australian contingent.

Celebrations in Tokyo: Judy, left, and Betty Cuthbert, middle, celebrate their bronze and gold medals in the 400 metres in 1964. Happy birthday: Judy celebrating turning 70.

Back here my coach’s wife was looking after my two children and the news out of Munich was confusing: she did not know for quite a while whether her husband was okay or whether I was okay. When we got back no one ever said to us “Would you like to talk about it?” The attitude was that it was bad luck but you move on. On top of all that the doctor had told me that because of my injury I would never run again. This was like a red rag to a bull. I was determined to prove him wrong and four years later I was packing my bags for Montreal. Are you still involved in athletics? I don’t do any coaching but I belong to a group called Athletics International, which runs programs for up-and-coming athletes. To coach these days you need every certificate imaginable. Besides, when I retired from competition I became involved with my own family and their sport, and I was teaching at Red Hill Consolidated School. I still go to a number of athletics meetings and follow the results. There are frequent functions where I catch up with all my old friends from athletics. Apparently there is a Masters group based in Rosebud – I used to run with them when I was doing fun runs in my 40s – but they train at Ballam Park in Frankston. There really should be a track on the peninsula. It is very hard to get good young athletes to maintain their interest. When I was teaching I was involved in coaching for the Pacific School Games, but a few outstanding young boys were swept up in the football net. That’s the hard part: not just finding the young champions but holding onto them. Money also comes into it: in athletics there is no money unless you reach the very top whereas in football an 18-year-old can already be earning big money. However they do have Youth World Championships and Youth Olympic Games to try and counter these difficulties. Even then there is not the funding and the parents have to fork out. Another involvement that I have is as a volunteer at the National Sports Museum at the MCG. What do you think of the Olympic Games in the 21st century? The costs of staging a Games seem to be getting out of hand. Many different sports are included these days and the host city has to find the money to cater

for their needs. When it comes to tickets, not only are they hard to get but also they are very expensive. I recently attended the Prime Minister’s Olympic dinner and $3 million was raised on the night. In my day we rattled tins in Collins St and went along to sportsmen’s nights with people like the late Judy Patching, a long-time Olympic official. As well as raising funds we had to fit in our training. I do not regret any of that: it was just how it was in my time as an Olympian. In spite of the cost and the fact that many of the venues become white elephants after the Games are finished, there is no shortage of countries seeking to stage the event. So they will probably continue to get bigger and better. Are you looking forward to the London Games? I am disappointed to see that we won’t have a women’s 100-metre relay team; apparently we don’t have four sprinters who have qualified. The same applies to the 400 metres and 800 metres. When you look back to what we achieved in the 1960s and ’70s our efforts were pretty good. Some of your contemporaries were Olympic legends and I’m sure readers would be interested in your comments. Betty Cuthbert: She was an amazing runner and, although some were surprised at her success in Tokyo in 1964, I certainly wasn’t. She had a special ability and a special faith and she was a great support to me when I was starting out. She also helped me through a few injury problems; unfortunately she couldn’t compete successfully at Rome in 1960 because of injury. She lives in a nursing home these days because of the MS, but I have never heard her complain. It is hard to reconcile her present physical condition with the fact that she was such a brilliant athlete. Recently she was given a legend status award by the International Olympic Federation, which was nice for her. She is a lovely lady and I talk to her regularly. Dawn Fraser: Dawn was at Tokyo in 1964, my first Games. I remember that the swimmers were not allowed to attend the opening ceremony as they had to swim next day. Dawn asked about the number of our bus and said, “I’m coming, so save me a seat.” So she attended and the swimming officials were running around looking for

her. She was a rebel but I thought the 10-year ban over the flag was tough. Now someone would be fined $1500 for such an incident. In those days the power of the officials was unbelievable. Ron Clarke: Ron was an amazing athlete who held so many world records. He was unlucky to miss out on an Olympic gold medal but he risked his life in the high altitude at Mexico City. Some people think that if you haven’t won a gold medal at the Olympics then you couldn’t have been much good, but gold medals are not easy to come by. Before Ron, Australia was fortunate to have a group of excellent middle distance runners – John Landy, Herb Elliott and Merv Lincoln – all of whom were real gentlemen. John still attends all our athletics functions and supports anyone whenever he can. What are your thoughts about some of our currrent leading athletes and issues? Sally Pearson: On the basis of her times, she would appear to be a monty for the gold medal, but you never know with hurdles; one slight hiccup can bring you undone. My training partner, Pam Kilborn (Ryan) should have won at Mexico City, but unfortunately had to settle for silver. Steve Hooker: I spoke to his parents at the PM’s Olympic dinner and apparently he has got his confidence back and is happy with the way things are going. He has produced some amazing performances, but a gold medal is never easy particularly in pole vaulting where confidence is vital. John Steffensen: Raelene Boyle gave him a bit of a serve recently, but I have always found him to be a delightful young man. He might be noisy and seek publicity but at least people come along to see him. At one time when those great middle distance runners were competing at Olympic Park, you couldn’t get near the place because of the crowds. Athletics needs more people like Steffensen to give the sport some characters. (We interviewed Judy before Pearson was beaten for the first time this year, by her US rival Kellie Wells; Hooker had another attack of the yips while competing in Europe; and Steffenson threatened to pull out of the team after not being selected in the 400 metres.) Nick D’Arcy: I always thought that under the Olympic rules you needed to have a clean record so I am rather surprised that he is in the team for

London. Look at Peter Norman who supported the “black power salute” guys in Mexico City; they didn’t send him to the next Olympics. We had to be very careful of all we said and did; we weren’t even allowed to speak to the press. Pippa Savage (the rower who was “expelled” from her crew because of personality clashes): It is not uncommon to find a highly strung athlete. Mind you, if it had been the boys’ crew they would probably have shrugged and said “Hey, let’s get on with it”. The Jana Pittman versus Tamsyn Lewis (Manou) rivalry: Both were in teams that I took to Pacific School Games. Jana has achieved a great deal in world athletics and Tamsyn is a great ambassador for Australian Athletics. They are two excellent athletes who never quite made it to where they deserved to be. Jana might even do well at rowing; it is not uncommon for athletes to switch sports these days. Kathy Watt switched from athletics to cycling, for example. The website for world famous athletes sums up Judy Pollock with the comment “Not a natural. Had to work

hard”. Was that a bit harsh? No, I think that is fair comment. I was a good sprinter but when they brought the 400 metres in for women my coach, Henri Schubert, said “I think you would be good at that.” So I focused on that event but it was very hard work. I trained every day of the week: I would drive to Melbourne with two toddlers in the car and leave them at Judy Patching’s house (Judy, who was team manager for a number of Olympic Games, was employed by Melbourne Parks and Gardens and lived in a house behind the Shrine. He was a lovely man who had time for everybody.) After a morning training at Olympic Park I would have lunch at Judy’s, a sleep, and then train again in the afternoon before driving back to Mt Eliza where I was living. This was mainly in winter as, being in the southern hemisphere, we were “out of season”. It was hard work but I loved every minute of it. I was fortunate in that Pam Kilborn (Ryan) was also trained by Henri and, although she was essentially a hurdler, she was also a sprinter. We were able to help one another and formed a friendship that we still retain.

Judy’s record JUDY Pollock (nee Amoore) was one of Australia’s finest female athletes, being selected for three Olympics. She first came to attention in 1964 when she won a bronze medal in the 400 metres behind Betty Cuthbert and English runner Ann Packer. Over the next few years Judy set world records in the 440 yards (1965), 800 metres (1967) and 880 yards (1967), but retired due to pregnancy in 1968. It was during these peak years that she attended the Commonwealth Games in Jamaica in 1966, winning a gold medal in the 440 yards and silver in the 880 yards. Judy made a comeback in 1971 and ran some of her best times to be selected for the 1972 Olympics at Munich. There she was track and field captain, but was unable to compete due to injuries. In 1976, following a second retirement for family reasons, Judy made another comeback and at 36 was selected for the Montreal Olympic Games. By now she had shifted her focus to the 800 and 1500 metres and had earned her selection after winning the 1500 metres at the Australian National Championships and running second to Charlene Rendina over 800 metres. Although she broke two minutes in her heat in the 800 metres, success at these distances eluded Judy at Montreal. Western Port News 17 July 2012

HISTORY

Chooks, apples and true love at sea FRED Renouf celebrated his 100th birthday at the Baxter Retirement Village on 6 March. The following month he broke his arm in a fall and died on 28 April. When Fred was 96 his family urged him to set down his reminiscences. Here is a continuation of his story.

Part Four Farming endeavours Breeding chooks ON Saturday nights we would often go in to Frankston. While dad and mother visited dad’s parents in Ross Smith Ave, we boys would go and have our hair cut (nine pence) or perhaps buy a pair of boots for eight shillings and six pence. Grandfather had a few fowls and he would tell us rather proudly that each one laid an egg a day. We had an uncle (Sam Madder) who was in the employment of the post office and he had a sideline producing eggs. He let Alec and I have a dozen white leghorns at a good price, and so we started egg production. We soon built up our stock with tested egglaying hens from Burnley. Sometimes we sent the cockerels to market as soon as we could see their combs growing. Later we were able to buy day-old sexed pullets. By this time I was getting two pounds four shillings a week in wages and Alec and I were making about a pound a week each in profit from the poultry. Three night a week we would be washing and packing eggs until 11 o’clock at night in the busy season. By now we had up to 1000 fowls that were free range and scattered over dad’s orchard in big sheds We hired a big electric incubator from Ray Borley, who had been in the egg production business. As we did not have electricity, we had to hire a friend’s house in Tyabb to keep the incubator. The eggs had to be turned twice a day so I would set out on my pushbike and ride the two miles to Tyabb, turn the eggs by hand, and ride the bike another two miles to Mr Millers at Graydens Rd to start work by 8am. These was the Depression years and I had resolved not to have any affairs of the heart until I had assets worth at least 1000 pounds.

He was fortunate to have had a good crop of apples in 1926 and he obtained very good prices as apples were in short supply. My father had about 2000 cases of Jonathons the year before when they were hard to sell, but only about 60 cases in 1926. After that year the trees tended to have a big crop every second year so we had to handthin the fruit and remove the pollinators (blossom from strong pollen trees of a different variety). It was much easier, 30 years later, when we could spray to reduce the blossom set.

Other farming endeavours I worked for Mr Miller for about 10 years and I often borrowed my father’s two horses and disc implement to cultivate his orchard. Mr Miller only had one horse and a single furrowed plough so it took him quite a while to plough his 17 acres.

Our Hastings orchard and then Graydens Rd In 1934 Alec and I bought a 100-acre property on Coolart Rd in Hastings for five pounds an acre. It was covered with trees and bush. At the time we did not know that it had a tenant who had the right to the timber. He was unwill-

ing to negotiate with us, but we wanted to start an orchard. When a soldier settlement property came on the market I tendered for it. This was opposite the Millers ‘ place in Graydens Rd where I had worked for a decade. The soldier settler, Jim Campbell, was a very decent fellow with five children. They lived in a two-bedroom cottage with a lean-to, and then added another lean-to. They also had a boarder who came out from England under the “Big Brother” scheme. Jim Campbell had a rundown orchard and he just survived by going about spraying other orchards with a horse and motor pump sprayer. Up to that time most of the orchards were sprayed by one person pumping and another person spraying the trees with a rod. It was not unknown for his wife to do the pumping. That’s how spraying was done when I was at Millers

until 1932, after which Mr Miller bought a Ronaldson Tippett motorised sprayer. Jim Campbell, while he had so many mouths to feed and had to leave his own property to get the cash to survive, did not lose his sense of humour. He said he was going in for “the deducts”. “You grow your fruit (he had an advance from an agent for whatever was needed). You send your fruit to market and they then deduct the cost of the sprays. They then deducts the packing cost. Then they deducts the freight, then they deducts the commission and the deducts get the lot!” He also ran a few cows that he sold from time to time. When the inspectors came to see how he was doing, he would take them to the boundary fence and point to his neighbour’s cows and say he was grazing his cattle

next door. During one of his stays in the Soldier Rehabilitation Centre I got him to make a walking stick for my mother as she had one leg shorter than the other, apparently the result of having been dropped by a nurse in her infancy. As a result she had to get boots of a different size for each foot. This did not curtail her spirit, however. So this Graydens Rd property came up for private tender and I made an offer of 800 pounds; I learnt later that the next highest offer was 650 pounds. It was one-third deposit and the balance over a number of years. Alec and I had sold the 100 acres mentioned previously for a slight profit and, with a gift of 100 pounds from my mother, I was free of debt by the time I joined the army. The orchard I had bought was in a very rundown condition. I pulled out

the plum trees and others that were struggling; a total of 600 trees. Then I reworked (grafted over) 400 trees without increasing the orchard boundaries (17 acres).There were many old varieties of apples that I had to rework to better varieties. I had just finished getting the place straightened out when war broke out and I had to leave my orchard behind. I considered that it would take the grafted trees four years to come into full bearing, and the replanted trees eight to 10 years. Alec and Neal bought a property of about 100 acres three miles further up Graydens Rd, but they were unable to start planting an orchard until after the war. Romance At a church meeting in December 1938 a very dear friend, Mrs Jack Shelton (Dorothy) told me she was going on a mission cruise to New Guinea with her mother, Mrs Thornell, and suggested that I might like to go along. So in May 1939 I left Melbourne on the SS Katoomba. The cruise was arranged so people who were interested in missions could see first-hand the work the church was doing in different parts of the Pacific. It was my first sea voyage. The cost of the threeweek cruise was 30 pounds. In the daytime we played deck games and in the evening we played board games. Among those playing was a young lady, Evelyn Palmer, aged 19, who attracted my attention. She was a fine dressmaker and, despite her young age, had launched out and had her own shop in East Ivanhoe. She had been on another missionary cruise to Tonga a couple of years before with her mother. I learnt that Evelyn was a Sun-

day school teacher and did not go to dances. I would not have considered friendship with a girl unless she was a Christian and thought that dancing was worldly so, at the ripe old age of 27, I was hooked! We visited mission stations around Rabaul and sailed to New Ireland. A lovely place out of Rabaul was Raluana, which was the name we gave our home when we built at Graydens Rd in Tyabb. (Later we took the name to 19 Two Bays Rd in Mt Eliza and then, when Evelyn was in hospital, I took it to 21 Ronald Ave in Frankston and later still to Baxter Village.) On the trip home the boat had to make an unscheduled stop in Sydney for a day. This meant trips were available but I had no money to spare. My friend Dorothy Shelton loaned me five pounds and, sitting in a taxi with Evelyn, we held hands as we drove down Bulli Pass. After returning home I kept in touch with Evelyn as much as possible, and the Palmer family made me quite welcome. Mr Palmer was a butter man. He bought 56-pound boxes of butter and cut them up into one-pound lots and, together with eggs, delivered them to customers in his Willys car. I was still in the poultry business with Alec so was able to supply him with free-range hens’ eggs. So began regular visits in my little Morris with a box of eggs (10 dozen) or two each weekend. When I returned home one Sunday night, mother told me that we were at war. She believed in the “British Israel Theory” and saw the coming war in that light. To be continued.

D& ENTERTAINMENT ʔʦLȫɏ

What a tangled world wide web we weave By Stuart McCullough I LIKE the internet only when it does what I want, when I want. Call me callous, but I expect the World Wide Web to instantly cater to my every whim and passing curiosity, serving up all that I have demanded with no questions asked. If that sounds like the attitude of a despot, then feel free to register your objection with my help desk. I appreciate that this is incredibly unbalanced, but that’s the way I like it. In fact, it’s only because I know it won’t answer back that I’m willing to trust the internet at all. But, alas, things are changing. Many years ago, I saw the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. I didn’t really understand it or, for that matter, enjoy it on any level whatsoever, but I did learn something other than the incontrovertible truth that movies are more entertaining if they have something resembling a point. Aside also from the fact that apes and weird black monoliths are a bad combination and that Strauss’s Thus Spake Zarathustra could make brushing your teeth seem like a truly epic act, I also learned that you should never trust a pushy computer. It began when I was trying to buy a DVD featuring Eddie Murphy’s best performances on Saturday Night Live. For those of you who are familiar only with his work in duds like The Adventures of Pluto Nash, I Spy and the al-

most as excrutiating as 2001: A Space Odyssey but not quite and complete and utter turkey banquet that was Norbit, let me say that the man is capable of greatness, even if he chooses to reveal it only occasionally. The best evidence of the magnitude of his talent comes in the form of his work on the television show SNL. My sister-in-law feels much the same way about Mr Murphy, so I decided to order a DVD from America and have it delivered. Or, at least, that was the plan until, at the last moment, I reached the virtual checkout only to find out that they wanted to charge me the kind of postage that requires a phone call to the bank manager. I deleted everything and bailed out as though my laptop was on fire. That, so I thought, was that. Until I received an email that stated: Thanks for visiting the NBC Uni-

versal Store. We noticed you left some items in your cart. Your cart will only remain saved for a limited time and many items sell out fast so please review your cart. Come back in the next 48 hours and save 15% on any order of $50 & up. My first reaction was one of anger. I wanted to tell the snoops at NBC Universal to back off and mind their own business. But then it occurred to me that this is how the world now works. Computers have learned to talk back. Indeed, the worm has, if not turned then, at least, loosened up its shoulder muscles. Having gotten off on the wrong virtual foot, I now believe it is better if I accept this state of affairs and try to set things right. So, dear computer, allow me to offer – by way of contrition – something of an explanation. In doing so, let me begin by saying in my defence that my

intentions were good. On reflection, I now realise that abandoning items in a trolley is probably no more appropriate on the internet than it would be in a supermarket and ranks only behind parking in a reserved car parking space and disregarding allocated cinema seating on the list of all-time acts of out and out bastardry. But I can explain. Everything was going swimmingly. Having decided to surprise my sisterin-law with an impossible to find (at least in this country) DVD, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the site was to navigate and what a bargain my DVD of choice appeared to be. I then proceeded to the checkout. It was here that things came drastically unstuck. Credit card in hand and having filled in all my details (including, it would seem, my contact email address), I then caught a glance at the dollars required for postage. There’s no easy way to say it, but the cost of sending the item dwarfed the cost of the item itself. For the avoidance of doubt, I very much mean “dwarfed” in the literal and Herve Villechaize sense of the word. Quicker than you can say “the plane, the plane”, I bailed out. I’m not saying it was the right thing to do. It was something I did – to quote soft-rock titans Asia – in the heat of the moment. I regret it now. But only when it became apparent that I was about to be charged up the wazoo for

postage did I take such drastic action. Granted, I freely acknowledge that posting a DVD from New York would be expensive for good reason. I am, after all, on the other side of the world and finding someone willing – much less able – to swim the required 10,000 kilometres with the DVD clamped between his teeth, would be no easy task. And let’s face it – the land leg of the journey is hardly a walk in the park, either. It is (more or less) a 12,000 mile stroll through a desert until you’re halfway to the Antarctic. Who needs that kind of aggravation? A single carrier pigeon would hardly be up to the task, necessitating the training of an entire team, working in shifts, all to carry one disc of classic television comedy. It all adds up in the end. So allow me – here and now – to apologise to the internet and computers everywhere for the confusion. It won’t happen again. Having now considered the exorbitant cost of the postage and the obvious distress that my reckless actions have caused you I have, instead, elected to hire Eddie Murphy directly, with a view to flying him out here to recreate his best known sketches in my sister-in-law’s living room. It will, I suspect, be cheaper. www.stuartmccullough.com.au

IN 2008 Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson became only the second married couple in the history of the Australian album charts to have an album debut at No 1. Who was the other couple? John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Chambers and Nicholson have braved the perils of locking themselves into a small studio and have recorded Wreck & Ruin (Liberation), the highly anticipated follow up to their 2008 platinum album Rattlin’ Bones. “Having been almost five years since we made Rattlin’ Bones we thought it was time to tempt fate and challenge our marriage by making another album together,” said Nicholson. “We have both made solo albums in between but in the back of our minds we knew we would end up making music together again. “The writing process fell into place easier than we had planned so we grabbed some musician friends and recorded us all jamming the songs on a farm for a week. Wreck & Ruin was born and gave us a chance to revisit the sounds of music that we love to make together where it can be traditional but not conventional.” Due for release on 7 September, Wreck & Ruin will have 13 tracks including first single Adam and Eve, which is due for release on 23 July. *** THANKS largely to John Fogerty’s rough, inimitable voice and seemingly bottomless supply of great melodies,

Creedence Clearwater Revival was the pre-eminent American singles band of the late ’60s and early ’70s. John Fogerty and his brother Tommy were raised in Berkeley, California, where John studied piano and at age 12 received his first guitar. He met bandmates Cook and Clifford at El Cerrito Junior High School, and by 1959 the group was performing at local dances as Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets. In 1964 the quartet signed to San Francisco-based Fantasy Records, where Tom had been working as a shipping clerk. The label renamed them the Golliwogs and began putting out singles. Brown-Eyed Girl sold 10,000 copies in 1965, but follow-ups were flops. Greater success came after they changed the name to Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1967. Several Fogerty compositions appeared on Creedence Clearwater Revival, but cover versions of Dale Hawkins’ Suzie Q and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins I Put a Spell on You were the group’s first hit. With the release of Bayou Country, CCR became the most popular rock band in America beginning with the two-sided gold hit Proud Mary and Born on the Bayou. Creedence had seven major hit singles in 1969 and 1970, including Bad Moon Rising, Green River, Fortunate Son, Down on the Corner, Travelin’ Band, Up Around the Bend and Lookin’ Out My

By Gary Turner Backdoor. Umbrella Entertainment has released a special DVD, The Ultimate Review Creedence Clearwater Revival (Umbrella, RRP $14.99), which was put out at the end of John Fogerty’s recent Australian tour. It features an in-depth retrospective with original bass player Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford. Live performances include tracks such as Tombstone Shadow, Travelin’ Band, Green River, Midnight Special, Bad Moon Rising and Proud Mary plus interviews with John Fogerty and other members.

Tigers claw Demons, Blues top Crib Point NEPEAN DIVISION By Toe Punt DROMANA controlled its match of the day clash with Rye on Saturday to win by 13 points. The Demons kicked the first three goals before the Tigers booted 17 to 12 to record a solid victory. Dromana gained control of the match in the second quarter and the scoreboard didn’t truly reflect the stranglehold the home side had on the contest. The only disappointments coach Gavin Artico had after the game were the lapses in concentration late in the second and final quarters when his side allowed Rye to kick a couple of “cheap goals”. Jay Neratzaglou was given the job on Justin Van Unen. “Neratz” did a fine job, but Van Unen still managed to kicked eight to take him to 93 for the season. Rikki Johnson had the job on Rye coach Ben Holmes and kept him quiet, while Aaron Coyle also was a solid four-quarter contributor in the back line. Artico said that he was very happy with the back six and the way they were playing. “We’re pretty settled in that end of the ground and they are working very well with one another,” he said. “I’m a firm believer that if you have

a strong and settled defensive unit, then that is the foundation of your footy side.” Artico also was pleased with the experience and leadership his onballers showed during the game. “We lost our way a couple of times and it was really pleasing to see the likes of Liam Hogan, Damon Lawrence, Braden Dennis, Paul Minchington and Ryan Slocombe regain control.” Dromana went into the game minus Toby Banks, Beau McMurray, Terry Wheeler, Jarrad Woods and Daniel Lee. Michael Hunter played his first senior game in two seasons. The forward finished with three goals. Steve Gaertner started in the ruck and moved to the forward line, booting four goals, while Jed Savage and Anthony Bruhn kicked three goals each playing deep forward. Artico said the spectacle was typical of a top-of-the-table clash. “It was armwrestle all afternoon,” Artico said. “It was one of those games where there were patches of outstanding footy, while at other stages it was contested and scrappy. “Rye kept fighting back and we had the ability to keep them at arm’s length. It was a real credit to the maturity of the group,” he said.

While Van Unen booted eight for the Demons, Sam Smith was very good in the middle, and Adam Kirkwood and Darren Booth continued their good form. Hastings coach Glenn Michie had a very “frustrating” day as the Blues took on Crib Point on Saturday, but on reflection was just happy to get the points with a narrow victory. Michie said his side entered the game knowing the type of footy they needed to play to win. “Unfortunately, while we played well in patches, we just weren’t disciplined to our structures for the entire game,” he said. “I was extremely frustrated at times. We ran forward of the footy and on many occasions got too forward of centre. “Crib Point was always going to run and spread, and we got caught out a few times because we were undisciplined. “Games against Crib Point are always hotly contested; there’s always a bit more in them. “They obviously had a lot to play for, as we did, so I guess waking up on Sunday morning I was just happy to get the four points and see that we were third on the ladder.” Hastings had a couple of opportunities to put Crib Point away, but could not convert on the scoreboard.

Colin McVeigh finished with 1.7, while 2012 recruits Mark Deveraux, Adam Jago and Paul Rogasch were three of the best on the paddock. Dave Lawson worked tirelessly for his Magpies while Jon Flack and James Cook offered plenty. Pearcedale celebrated its second win of the season on Saturday, inflicting Red Hill’s second loss on the trot. The Dales hung on for dear life in the dying seconds of the match to win by the smallest of margins. The Panthers got away to a great start at home with Daniel Murray making his intentions clear – he wanted a big bag and finished the afternoon with five. The home side led by 13 points at quarter time, but trailed by less than a kick at half-time. During the third, the Panthers should have put Red Hill away, but managed 1.6 to 2.1. Teenagers Tom Frost and Rhys Craven were sensational for the winners while Lachy Cross was a solid contributor. Daniel McNamara was back in the Red Hill line-up and shone, while Jarryd Douglas was back to his best with five goals. Rosebud booted six goals to two behinds in the last quarter to clean up Devon Meadows by 49 points. The Buds kicked away to a 33-point

lead at half-time, but Devon hit back in the third to trail by just 13 points at the last change. However, the skill and pace of the Buds proved the difference, Greg Bentley finishing with three goals, Ryan Spooner and Aaron Rose providing run and drive, and Ben Shultz playing his best game in a long time with five majors. Aaron Bower, Alex Doria and Craig Thorne were the best of the Panthers, and Daniel Velardo kicked three goals. Sorrento celebrated its past players day and Guy Stringer’s recordbreaking 346th game by smashing Frankston Bombers by 100 points. The Bombers were restricted to just one goal after half-time and were completely outgunned. While the Bombers were far from their best, the Sharks were without Ben and Troy Schwarze and Cayden Beetham. Tyrren Head put on a clinic, Brent Kenyon was at his best with three goals, Grant Johnson booted two goals from the middle and Leigh Poholke finished with four goals. Sorrento had 13 goalkickers. James Degenhardt was the best of the Bombers, while Nathan Lonie and Haydn Moore continued their good form. Jason Clapp was also very good in his second game back.

No mercy for Gulls, Seaford scare Redlegs PENINSULA DIVISION By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW showed no mercy on Saturday when it flogged an undermanned Chelsea that has half its list injured. After being beaten by the Stonecats by 78 points in round three, the Gulls were defeated by a staggering 128 points. Frankston YCW had 42 scoring shots to Chelsea’s nine. The Seagulls failed to kick a goal in the first half of the match and didn’t score at all in the second quarter. It took until the third quarter for the Seagulls to kick their first goal, but that was to be it for the rest of the afternoon. The Seagulls went into the match without some notable performers, including Luke Damon, Gary Carpenter, Steve Harrison, Chris Worner, Ryan Stewart, Pat Donnellan and Niz Abdallah. The Gulls then lost Anthony Lewis and Michael Salem in the warm-up with hamstring injuries. According to Chelsea coach Jason Chapple, he was just glad his side kicked a goal. “The crowd handed me a beer when we kicked a goal in the third quarter. If we’d kicked a second, they might have handed me a Jim Beam,” Chapple joked. What isn’t a laughing matter is Chelsea’s injuries. “I nearly played. As it was, we had to grab a kid who had already had a couple of hot dogs and a can of coke to

play in the side. We had five kids play reserves after playing Under-18s,” he said. “Blokes around the club are saying things like, ‘geez, numbers at training aren’t great’. Fact is, half the list is injured. “I was pretty proud of them on Saturday, despite getting belted. “We haven’t won at YCW for 30odd years but backs to the wall, the guys had a real crack. I couldn’t fault their effort. “We had five shots at goal in the first quarter and they were all within 20 metres. We kick them and who knows what’s going to happen? “Anyway, that’s out of the way; we get a few back this week including Nick Benbow, and we start building for a crack at the finals,” Chapple said. The Stonecats had an easy day. Lew Roberts finished with six goals in a best-on-ground display, Dave Bodley helped himself to five and Michael Chaplin kicked three. Ash Eames had a field day in the ruck, Ben Tellis ran around and did anything and everything he wanted, and Byron Barry and Paul Wintle were consistent performers. Nigel Carmody and Sam Carpenter have arguably been the Gulls’ best performers this season and they continued that consistency on Saturday with solid performances. Seaford gave Mt Eliza an eightgoal head start on Saturday and went down by just 10 points. It was midway through the second quarter before the Tigers kicked their first goals, and Mt Eliza had eight on

the board. However, 15 minutes later, the Tigers had kicked six goals to 10 and it was game on. Michael Kraska was in vintage form on Saturday, taking hangers, kicking goals from impossible angles and finishing the afternoon with 10 goals. Chris Irving, after spending the past few weeks deep in the forward line, was unleashed in the middle, and Luke Davenport and Luke Smith shone. At no stage in the match did Seaford appear as though they were going to snatch victory; they were just too far back, but given another 10 minutes in the match, things could have been different. After quarter time, the Tigers booted 17 goals to 10. James Quanchi has been given some opportunities this season for the Tigers and was excellent in the ruck, while Tommy Shaw was also solid. While the Tigers dominated the game after quarter time, the Redlegs still walked away with the points. Scott Lockwood booted four and Sam Lloyd three, while Josh Norman was important in the middle. Watching Norman in the first game of the year against Mornington, he appeared to be a gun recruit and it is starting to come true. Rohan Heasley and Dan Gormley were also key players for the Redlegs, while Ben Landry finished with two goals and was a good contributor. Scott Simpson has been the stand-out ruckman this season and his great form continued on Saturday. Seaford coach Craig McIndoe told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday

morning that his side had to get away to better starts if they were to beat the top teams. “We’ve come back at sides all season and got close to them, but our starts have let us down,” he said. But again the Tigers had a bad start, which ultimately cost them. “The difference between last season and this is we were winning the close ones. This season, we haven’t been on the right side of the ledger at the end of the close games,” McIndoe said. Its season on the line, Bonbeach went oh so close to knocking over Karingal in an epic struggle at Cannes Ave Reserve. Locked together at three-quarter time, Karingal booted four goals to three in the last quarter to win by 10 points. The Bulls got away to a flier and kept Bonbeach goalless in the opening term, but the Sharks stormed back in the second term, booting seven goals to three to lead by eight points at the long interval. Bonbeach let itself down in the third quarter, booting 3.4 to 5.0, and at three-quarter time had had six more scoring shots than the Bulls. However, the mature heads of David Hirst, Troy Hoad, Duncan Proud and Luke Van Raay proved to be the difference for the Bulls. James Tyquin was again a standout for the Bulls, while Grant Goodall continued to lead the way in the ruck. Hirst and Chris Hay booted three goals each. Justin Norton finished with four majors for the Sharks, and vice-captain

Jackson Casey, along with Paul Rebeschini and Tom Payton, continued their sensational form. Pines won its second game of the season on Saturday, leading all day to defeat Mornington. Despite the Bulldogs having a number of players return to the line-up after injury, Mornington started poorly and was 31 points down at quarter time. The Doggies booted 12 goals to eight after quarter time, but lost by 10 points. Aaron Ludewig was outstanding for the Pythons with three goals, while Beau Hendry, Luke Houldcroft and Brad Wicks played well for four quarters. Daniel Villani returned for the Dogs after a few weeks on the sideline and finished with three goals, and Tim Johnston also booted three. Big Mick Bray played his best game for the Dogs and old stagers Chris Paxino and Byron Holy played well. Edithvale-Aspendale recorded its second win of the season, smashing Langwarrin by eight goals. In a game expected to showcase the resurgent Kangas, the Eagles put them to the sword early. Brad Tagg kicked six goals, Pat Poore led from the front in the ruck, Troy Ogier was a general in defence and Beau Turner shone. Shane Urbans and Mark McGill were again the best of the Kangas, and Aaron Shaw worked hard for his two goals.

would more than likely see him finish his career with the Blues. Michie will be almost 40 at the end of his contract.

No deal for Artico What a Guy IT was a sensational day for Sorrento legend Guy Stringer on the weekend in his record-breaking 346th MPNFL game. Sorrento Football Club produced a special footy record and the club celebrated a past players day. It was a fantastic and fitting way for Stringer to be honoured. As well as all local newspapers honouring his milestone, he featured in the Herald Sun football liftout. He spoke exclusively to the Radio Port Phillip Footy Show on Saturday morning. “Obviously, premierships is the reason we play footy and I’ve been blessed to win a few,” Stringer said. “However, all said and done, it’s the many great people I have met during my journey that is the biggest highlight of my career.” Injury-free, Stringer will play his 200th game for Sorrento next season. Considering his games in Darwin, St Kilda under-19s and Frankston Dolphins, he has played 404 senior games of football.

Michie signs with Blues HASTINGS have done what every football club should be doing if they have a good coach – signing him up for a decent stint. The Blues announced on Friday night they had re-signed Glenn Michie to coach the club until the end of 2014. Michie told The News this

THE Michie signing prompted The News to ask some other coaches if they had been signed beyond the end of the season. One noticeable “no” was Dromana coach Gavin Artico. Asked if he was contracted beyond 2012, Artico said he wasn’t at this stage and no one at the club had discussed it with him. “I’m worrying about helping the boys to get over the line each week and not worry about anything outside of that,” he said. “In saying that, I think I’m coaching well and I don’t have any intentions of not coaching beyond this season.”

Young gets four weeks DEVON Meadows’ Scott Young was given four weeks’ suspension by the MPNFL tribunal last week after he was found guilty of a behind-theplay incident against Dromana on 16 June. Dromana had video evidence of the incident involving Young and Dromana player Jarrad Woods, who had four front teeth knocked back in the incident and spent the night in hospital.

JV close to ton RYE goalkicking sensation Justin Van Unen has just seven goals to kick to clock up 100. He won’t be doing it this week, though, following his selection for Victoria in the Australian Country Football Championships. Van Unen’s Rye teammate Rhett Sutton was also selected in the Victorian Seconds to compete at the championships this weekend.

It’s do or die for Cats and Bombers Round 17 Previews Friday 20 July Geelong v Essendon, Etihad Stadium, 7.50pm On Friday night sixth plays seventh in a pivotal battle at Etihad Stadium. Both sides have extremely tough draws as we head toward finals and this is a game both have a reasonable chance to win. The Cats went down to the Pies by 31 points on Saturday; it was a performance that featured none of the old Geelong brilliance we’ve become accustomed to in the past five years. For the Bombers their season is slowing losing the momentum they had in the first half. This is mainly due to injuries. Last time the teams met was in round 15 last year, when the Bombers ended the Cats’ 13-game winning streak; Jake Melksham was the best on the ground. Geelong by 1 point. Saturday 21 July Collingwood v Hawthorn, MCG, 1.10pm Saturday afternoon at the MCG presents two of the league’s heavyweights. Collingwood comfortably beat the reigning premiers Geelong on a wet Saturday night in Melbourne. Scott Pendlebury, in his first match since round 10,

showed no signs of rustiness, notched up 36 disposals and looked smooth all night. The Hawks cruised to an easy 72-point victory against the Bulldogs. It was good to see former Crow Jack Gunston kick four goals in the absence of Lance Franklin. Unfortunately for the Hawks they will be without Franklin and Hodge for another week at least. Overall if Collingwood is switched on, it shouldn’t have any problem winning. Collingwood by 17 points. Adelaide v West Coast, AAMI Stadium, 2.10pm In the match of the round, the teams in the pre-season NAB Cup final measure each other’s abilities in what should be a classic game. The Crows will need to adapt to a quality side as they’ve played ordinary sides for the past fortnight. For the Eagles they will be eager to make amends for their first loss in a year and half at their fortress of Patersons Stadium. They will be undermanned up forward though, with Jack Darling in doubt. As talented as the Eagles are, injuries could be the un-doing of them come finals time. Very hard to split these teams, but West Coast may be hungrier. West Coast by 8 points. Gold Coast v Brisbane, Metricon Stadium, 4.40pm QClash number four presents an interesting battle for two sides whose seasons are almost over. The Suns will go in feeling confident after their fairytale win against the Tigers in Cairns on the weekend. Karmichael

Hunt showed what you can do if you put your mind to something and work hard. Hunt’s game wasn’t a fluke as he’s been pretty good all season. For the Lions they probably missed their last chance to push for a finals berth against the Saints. It was a closely contested match all night and Brisbane’s lack experience showed in the end. The Suns will be on a high but I can’t see them winning. Brisbane by 29 points. Melbourne v Port Adelaide, TIO Stadium, 7.40pm For the third consecutive year Melbourne returns to the Top End to play the Power. Despite winning their two other matches in Darwin, selling home games is always fraught with danger. This should be a closely contested match; the Demons are looking a lot better than they did at the start of the season and Port Adelaide has almost hit the wall, due to injuries and form. The winner will be the team that plays better for longer as both teams have had problems maintaining intensity. Another major problem for both sides is the ruck; for the Dees they will be without AllAustralian Mark Jamar and Power will be playing the inexperienced combination of Redden and Lobbe. Could go either way, but I believe Melbourne has what it takes. Melbourne by 11 points. Western Bulldogs v Carlton, Etihad Stadium, 7.40pm If the game against Collingwood was Carlton’s grand final, then the game

against North Melbourne was their relapse, because there’ll be no coming back from that horrible loss. They’ll also be without best player Chris Judd after he will no doubt be suspended for a crude “chicken wing” tackle. Luckily for the Blues, they come up against a side that’s in even worse form. For the remainder of 2012 the Bulldogs look in serious trouble; on the weekend they only scored one goal from their tall forwards and six from the whole team. The Dogs were killed in disposals, clearances and tackles. Something’s gotta give at Whitten Oval. Carlton by 25 points.

livid with their weekend performance. Not only did they sell a home game to Cairns but also gave the Suns their first win in 24 matches. Richmond was 10 points up with under a minute to go and still lost. The Kangaroos will be feeling pretty confident of winning their fifth game from the past six matches. A hurdle to overcome is they haven’t played at the MCG since round 16 last year, when they lost by 117 points to Collingwood. Overall there are plenty of chinks in the Richmond armour for the Kangaroos to expose. North Melbourne by 35 points.

Sunday 22 July Sydney v St Kilda, SCG, 1.10pm In the fourth of the top-eight clashes this week, the Saints travel to Sydney to play the ladder leaders. The Swans flogged West Coast by 52 points on Sunday. Daniel Hannebery and Ryan O’Keefe were outstanding, earning 42 and 39 possessions respectively. Ruckmen Shane Mumford and Myke Pike matched the Naitanui-Cox combination. The Saints had a good win on the road against the Lions, and kept their foot on the pedal all night. Ben McEvoy has taken his game to a new level under Scott Watters and is a smoky for All-Australian with a big finish to the year. The Saints may be too tired from consecutive games interstate. Sydney by 38 points. Richmond v North Melbourne, MCG, 3.15pm The Tigers returned to Melbourne

Fremantle v GWS, Patersons Stadium, 4.40pm As the Dockers push for a final-eight spot, the Giants play for dignity and to avoid losing three consecutive matches by more than 100 points. It may only be percentage separating Fremantle from the top eight, but it’s a lot of percentage and this game is the best opportunity to boost it. At the ripe old age of 30, captain Matthew Pavlich is in nearly career best form, kicking 24 goals in the past five matches. The Giants fly across the country to Perth and come up against a side that will take no prisoners; it also will be hard to break through the Ross Lyon press. Fremantle by 44 points.
