By Keith Platt POLICE at Hastings have launched a campaign to “have a conversation” with drinking drivers before they get behind the wheel. “It’s all about changing driver behaviour,” Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb said. The “conversation” is printed on a flyer being placed under windscreen wipers of cars parked outside hotels and sporting clubs in Hastings, Baxter and Somerville. The results of Operation Be Warned will be assessed before it is rolled out to the rest of the peninsula, Senior Sergeant Lamb said. “It’s all about being able to have a conversation with a driver at a very critical time and before they makes a decision,” he said.

reads in part: “Your car has been observed by local police parked in the vicinity of licensed premises. How much have you had to drink? Should you be driving?” It goes on to list such risks of drink driving as death, killing someone else, going to jail, losing a job, licence and money as well as “public humiliation”. The flyer ends with the advice “If you are unsure, don’t drive”. Senior Sergeant Lamb said the operation had the support of the Kings Creek and Western Port hotels, the Somerville Hotel and Baxter Tavern “because they don’t want their customers drinking and driving”. “We want to stop bad choices and change driver behaviour by having them make other arrangements if they’ve been drinking too much.” Continued Page 2

Biosphere gets $2.2m for habitat

THE Western Port Biosphere Foundation has won federal government funding of $2.26 million over six years to connect and improve habitat corridors. The money comes from the Biodiversity Fund, whose citation stated: “Western Port Biosphere (a UNESCOdesignated reserve) includes two large Ramsar wetlands and hundreds of small but key biodiversity reserves in a fragmented urban, peri-urban and rural coastal region of southeast Australia threatened by climate change and hu-

It has many threatened vegetative communities and species protected by international, national, and state legislation. “A multi-stakeholder steering committee will develop a new regional biodiversity action plan, enhance key reserves, revegetate landscape gaps to establish habitat links, improve lowcost integrated pest control, and provide and audit carbon storage with new

enabling systems.” The Biosphere Foundation receives funding from Frankston, Mornington Peninsula, Casey, Cardinia and Bass Coast councils as well as Melbourne Water, Parks Victoria, and Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority. Gillian Collins, the Frankston Round Table director of the biosphere foundation, said she was “very excited about what the grant will enable us to do for our natural environment in the region”.

Senior Sergeant Lamb said cars parked near sporting clubs would be targeted “because they’re a mix of licensed premises and young people, who are a greater risk again”. “We won’t be at every pub every day, but we will be around at peak times such as Friday and weekend lunchtimes.” Senior Sergeant Lamb said the oper-

Western Port

ation had not been sparked by a spike in drink-driving offences “but we’re giving people a heads-up that we’re on patrol”. “There might also be booze buses around when we distribute the flyers, but there might not. “We’re trying to get into the psyche of drivers so they realise they are risks to themselves and to others.”

EXPERTS at Sunday’s Mornington Peninsula Land Management Expo will advise property owners and managers learn more about effective land management. The event is presented by the Peninsula Pastures and Produce Program, which connects people to the knowledge, resources and support required to successfully manage their land to improve pastures and agricultural production and enhance the natural environment. Organisations supporting the program are Mornington Peninsula Shire, Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority, Western Port Biosphere, the departments of primary industries and sustainability and environment, Coastwatch, Melbourne Water, Mornington Peninsula Landcare and Caring for Our Country. The land management expo will be held 10am-2pm in The Barn at The Briars Park, Nepean Highway, Mt Martha, Sunday 20 May.

Renewal vouchers for residents’ opinions HASTINGS residents are being offered a $20 gift voucher to voice their opinions about the town and its future. As with most sounds-to-good-to-betrue offers, there is a catch, but not one that costs anything apart from time. Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal is well on the way to completing its third and final survey seeking directions and aspirations for the town. To participate in the survey – and collect the voucher – volunteers can call in to Hastings Community Hub. Survey respondents must be Hastings residents and aged 18 or over. “We need to complete 300 surveys and are about halfway there,” Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal place manager Pam Ford said. She said responses to the questionnaires would be used to “make action

plans and drive programs” in areas such as public safety and graffiti. The survey deadline is the end of June. Ms Ford said funding for the Neighbourhood Renewal project would run out next year and “the job now is to get members of the community skilled up”. “We’re aiming to make sure there’s no vacuum and that’s why we’re launching a governance strategy for the Hub on Wednesday. “We want to get the community backing it and keeping it going.” Ms Ford said the skills being taught to volunteers related to managing the Hub and also “relating with the council”. Anyone wanting to participate in the Hastings survey can drop in to The Hub, 1973 Hastings-Flinders Rd, Hastings, or call 5979 7470.

Water, water everywhere but some costs a fortune to drink By Mike Hast THE future of water management on the peninsula will be covered at a public forum in Rosebud on Thursday. At least six speakers will present ideas ranging from upgrading sewage treatment plants to capturing stormwater and bringing water to Victoria from Tasmania. Outspoken critic of government water management policies Kenneth Davidson will be one of the speakers. Mr Davidson, a columnist with The Age and co-publisher of Dissent magazine, will talk about the Wonthaggi Desalination Plant, which was commissioned by the previous government. The desal plant was due to be completed by the end of 2011 and is way over budget. Four sites were considered for the plant, including east of Port Phillip and west of Western Port as well as the Surf Coast before Wonthaggi was chosen. Mr Davidson says the government should break its contract with desal builder Aquasure, which is building the plant for $4 billion under a publicprivate partnership. Mr Davidson told The News the desal plant was not needed. “Melbourne’s catchment area gets more than sufficient rainfall to meet the city’s existing and future needs,” he said. “If the contract is fulfilled, in the first year of operation the government will have to pay AquaSure $763 million, rising by 7.3 per cent a year over the

28-year life of the contract. “This means that halfway through the contract, in about 2026, AquaSure will be paid $2 billion, rising to $5.1 billion in the final year.” He said dam water cost about 55 cents a kilolitre (1000 litres) and is sold for about $1.80 to households. “Melbourne Water will be paying Aquasure $5.10 a kilolitre when the desal plant starts operating,” he said. “In 14 years’ time, the desal water will cost $13.33 a kilolitre and in 28 years $34 a kilolitre.” He said based on average household use of 400 kilolitres, households pay about $1400 a year now for water, including parks and sewerage charges. “When the plant starts, households will have to take 40 per cent of their water from the desal plant and they will pay about $3000 – assuming the wholesale and retail mark-up is reduced to just over 200 per cent. “The Auditor-General described the desal plant and its capitalised financial costs as a ‘leased asset and a liability of the state’ rather than a public-private partnership. “He calculates the net present value of the 28-year financial commitment by the government to be $6.4 billion. “A fair, upfront payment to cancel the lease is $6.4 billion. “If the contract is maintained, Victoria will pay a total of $23.6 billion over the life of the contract, which includes interest on borrowings.”

Mr Davidson has been speaking to a wide variety of groups about the desal burden, including the Sorrento-Portsea branch of the Liberal Party. He said there was a strong level of disquiet about the desal plant among the rank and file of the Liberal Party. Other speakers include:  South East Water representative on the current and planned upgrades to the Eastern and Boneo treatment plants.  John Martin of Docklands Science Park on innovative concepts for water storage and future supply. (In the mid2000s, Mr Martin proposed bringing water from Tasmania in giant bladders towed by tugboats. He is now working on plans for a giant pipe from Tasmania to Victoria and SA.)  Alan Moran, Director Deregulation Unit, Institute of Public Affairs, on the economics and politics of water.  Stephen Cannon, of Watershed Victoria, on sustainability of water.  Melbourne Water representative on the management of peninsula stormwater drainage now and in the future. The forum is being hosted by Nepean MP Martin Dixon at 7.30pm on Thursday 17 May at Southern Peninsula Arts Centre, Eastbourne Rd, Rosebud. He said management of water was a key election commitment from the Coalition government. “The forum provides a chance for residents to have their voices heard and questions answered in a non-partisan, community environment,” he said.

Agencies join for better transport

Puddle trouble: Low parts of the paths through Hastings Foreshore Reserve may provide water obstacles for entrants in this year’s RSPCA Million Paws Walk. Picture: David Chalke

Downpour dampens walkers IT is billed as the largest event on the RSPCA Mornington Peninsula’s canine calendar. And if past Million Paws Walks are anything to go by, Hastings Foreshore Reserve will be the destination next Sunday for hundred of dogs and their owners. However, recent rains have highlighted the low-lying areas of the park paths, leading Tyabb resident David Chalke to send photographs of puddles to Mornington Peninsula Shire. In an email to sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins, Mr Chalke said the shire’s website described the

path as a “gravel walking and cycling track appropriate for wheelchair access”. “Sadly, the shire’s promised remediation works on the pathways has not taken place, as a consequence they looked like this today [Sunday 13 May],” Mr Chalke stated. He told The News that a hovercraft could “run around a few times and blow-dry the paths”. The shire did not respond in time for the print deadline when invited to comment by The News. The RSPCA Million Paws Walk starts at the corner of Marine Parade

A NEW multi-organisation transport group aiming to improve access to services and facilities was launched in Mornington on Monday. Mornington Peninsula Community Transport Network brings together 12 agencies, linking their vehicles, staff, volunteers and funds to support better access for people on the peninsula with limited transportation options. MP David Morris said the network would better utilise existing vehicles and resources to improve access to work, learning, health and social opportunities. He said Mornington Peninsula Transport Connections had received a $75,000 Transport Connections Innovation Fund grant to establish and implement the network.

An additional $25,000 comes from the Bendigo Bank as well as in-kind support from some partner agencies. “A vehicle and volunteer register will be established to pool existing resources and enable partner agencies to contribute to and borrow available resources – both vehicles and people,” Mr Morris said. Agencies in the network include peninsula health service providers and social support agencies, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Brotherhood of St Laurence, Peninsula Support Services, Peninsula GP Network, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Primary Care Partnership, Bentleigh Bayside Community Health, and TransAccess Mobility Support Services. Access all areas: Former state transport minister Peter Spyker, left, David Morris, Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial, Transport Connections Project coordinator Rita Kontos, shire mayor Cr Frank Martin and shire CEO Michael Kennedy at the MP Transport Connections funding announcement.

and High St at 10am on Sunday 20 May. Money raised by the two-kilometre walk helps the RSPCA as well as being a day of family fun. Vets will be on hand to give advice and there will be stalls, a barbecue, dog washes, refreshments and prizes. Money raised through walk registrations, merchandise sales and online fundraising will go toward RSPCA programs, adoption, veterinary services and campaigns. Hastings is one of 18 walks being held on Sunday.

Scrapbooks trace footy’s ups and downs

Starring life: Left, Vic Jeremiah with a WEG cartoon of Hastings’ famous footballer John Coleman. Above, the results of the collector’s life – the John Coleman book in its sturdy case, the bronze maquette and numbered drawers containing decades of Hastings’ footy history. Pictures: Fran Henke

VIC Jeremiah’s shed is a man’s shed like none other. I was privileged to be invited in. Vic was born at Somerville in 1938, lived at Tyabb until he was 20 and then in Hastings for the past 53 years, the same house for 35 years. Aged nine, he saw John Coleman kick a phenomenal number of goals for Hastings in a match against Sorrento, the last home and away game before the finals of 1948. Vic ran onto the ground and asked Coleman how many goals he’d kicked. “About 18,” Coleman said, patting him on the head. In fact it was 23. Vic was hooked – on Coleman and on his later extraordinary career. Coleman is ranked as one of the greatest Australian League footballers of all time. Port Fairy born, his family moved to Hastings in 1943. He was spotted by Essendon, but considered at first too young to play at senior level so was sent back to Hastings where he kicked 296 goals in 37 games over two years. Coleman went on to play for the Bombers, kicking 537 goals in 98 matches before a knee injury ended his career at 25. He returned to coach Essendon at age 32 in 1961 and led the Bombers to flags in 1962 and 1965 before handing the reins to Jack Clarke at the end of the 1967 season. Coleman returned to the peninsula, bought a rural property at Arthurs Seat and operated the Dromana Hotel. In the early hours of 5 April 1973, he died at 44 of a heart condition. While Vic Jeremiah loved kicking a footy around, he never played the game. Why? “Oh, I was worried about my weight. I didn’t seem to be able to put any on. It was frustrating. I was a boundary umpire for years for Tyabb Football Club,” he said. “My game was tennis. I had coaching and was told I could go on with it, but I didn’t have the drive.” Vic at 73 still has a tennis player’s physique and while he didn’t have

the drive to play the game at a serious level, he did develop the dedication to be an historian. Where did that come from? “My dad always said ‘near enough is never good enough’ and my mother made me practise handwriting,” he said. Not content with my notetaking (me either), Vic provided me with two histories with reference to his family: Hastings Memories by Susan Rowe, and Heart and Soul, a tribute to the football and its people by Robert Shaw. The Jeremiahs, originally Welsh, came to Tyabb as orchardists. Vic’s father Jack became a self-taught mechanic and operated his own garage. Vic used to pump petrol from an early age. Customers were warned not to make disparaging remarks about Hastings Football Club and John Coleman

big industry. The youngest and only son, Jamie, has his father’s meticulous gene and has become a cabinetmaker. It is Jamie, currently on his first-ever holiday overseas, who Vic has to thank for his remarkable shed. The ordered contents of the shed, with its magnificent shelving and drawers, were banished from the house by Margaret. “She didn’t want it all in the house,” Vic said. You can imagine why with four children and a growing collection of folders and artefacts. Space would be a premium. Then, tools were banished to make room for the collection. Now Margaret complains Vic is always in the shed. Vic has given me a list of the contents: 17 large books covering the past 100 years of Hastings Football Club; more than 2000 Mornington Peninsula Football League “footy records”; every HFC members’ ticket for the past 67 years; 30 photo albums of Hastings footballers; final scores of every sen-

$10,000. Vic’s maquette lives in the shed, too. Vic tells how the sculptor poured over his Coleman book for detail for the statue, even down to the number of studs in the boots. The sculpture shows Coleman leaping for a mark over St Kilda player Tommy Meehan, now a Rye resident. Tommy was “the other man” in another iconic football image of the apparent backhander delivered by Jack Dyer. We marvel how the bronze remains respected in the township. I tell Vic that on day one after its installation I saw a small child in pink climbing up to touch the ball and thought, ‘here we go’. Vic admits he drives past it every day, heart in mouth, concerned for its safety. We talk about John Coleman the man. “He was very humble, a clean living man. He was one of the first sportsmen with film star looks who was idolised,” Vic said. “His brother Albert was the same; very modest.

We marvel how the bronze remains respected in the township...Vic admits he drives past it every day, heart in mouth, concerned for its safety. in particular if they wanted fuel. He started work officially at Golden Poultry, now Inghams, when processing 600 chickens a day was considered a huge tally (120,000 a day today). He moved on to work as a labourer on construction of the Lysaght steel mill, then permanent employment with Lysaghts for 28 years. He married Margaret Wilson in 1959 and the couple had four children. Coming from the Mirabella fishing family, Margaret loves the sea and between them they hoped at least one of their children would become either a footballer or a fisherman. The Jeremiahs epitomise core Hastings business: orchards, fishing and

ior game played in the past 100 years. And the John Coleman collection. Vic heaves from the rear room a huge safety deposit box, also built by Jamie, full of Coleman memorabilia, recently valued at $20,000. “Someone asked if there was a fire what would I save first, Marg or the Coleman book. My reply was that fortunately I haven’t had to make that choice,” Vic joked. With retired Hastings newsagent Peter McCullough, Vic was instrumental in organising the Coleman bronze by sculptor Stephen Glassborow outside Hastings Library. To fund the statue, 10 people bought a maquette (a miniature bronze) for

“In those days you were brought up strictly; ‘no’ meant no. It’s a totally different world now. We talk about the pressure on young footballers today and the trouble they get into. I ask why Coleman kicked so many goals when inaccuracy was a common complaint today. “John Coleman was blessed with natural ability,” Vic said. “He disliked training; he’d just come to the ground about 10 minutes before the game and off he’d go. He averaged 10 goals a week. “Today if you don’t train, you don’t play.” Looking through the scrapbooks I

ask, out of professional interest, what type of glue he uses. Vic pulls out a drawer to reveal perfectly ordered contents, including cylinders for his glue sticks. I notice an old-fashioned wardrobe, in contrast to the clean white cabinets. Vic opens it to reveal a collection of Hastings’ jumpers, to record the transitions over the years. A computer sits at one end of his long work table. Has he entered the digital age? “Well, no,” he confesses. “A friend gave it to me, quickly showed me how to get started, but I can’t remember. I use the printer as a copier. I’ll try again one day.” How long does he think he’ll continue as Hastings Football Club’s official historian? “After 50 years of compiling the history of the most successful club on the peninsula, I will continue to do so for as long as the overall passion and enjoyment is there.” A fragment of a local paper, dated January 1951, from Pat Brinton sparked this conversation. The lead item was about young Vic Jeremiah’s Coleman scrapbook. Other paragraphs reveal much about Hastings’ people and concerns of the day: The Lillywhites had a daughter, Rosalind Carol; Mr and Mrs Ross Mair were back from their honeymoon in Adelaide; Fred Barclay was said to be missing from his home in Graydens Rd, not a worry, he was at the Show with his pigs; Harold Thorndike, ‘our local real estate agent’, had moved into an office attached to his home after working out of the Tyabb Hall, during building; Mr K Hodgins was back on the road with his truck following mechanical troubles; and ploughing was well underway in the orchards. The last item recorded that new telephones were being installed, but there was a wait for the directories to be printed “before we know exactly who’s who”.

Young musos grab the mic THE fifth Lineup event for aspiring professional musicians is at Cube 37 at Frankston Arts Centre on Sunday evening 27 May. Lineup is a musical mentoring program created by Mt Eliza-based The Little Theatre Company and has been dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;an affray of young musiciansâ&#x20AC;?. The first one was in late 2010 and one was held in March. Others will be held in August and December. The four events in 2012 Leg up: Jack Cannon and Michael Levy are being hosted by James perform at Lineup in March. Picture: Tracey Martin Reyne, former Australian Crawl singer and now acclaimed solo artist. Sally Baillieu of the theatre company said the events â&#x20AC;&#x153;develop and showcase young musicians, and give them a point of entry to move toward a career in the music industryâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started Lineup because of the many talented young performers we knew in the region and how difficult it is for them to take the next step and play outside their bedrooms and homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music industry can be an intimidating and daunting prospect. There is not enough encouragement for musical artists outside Melbourne apart from the school system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lack of opportunity afforded young people by a culture dedicated to maximising economic return with limited consideration of the individual.â&#x20AC;? Kaarin Fairfax â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a film and television actress, singer and theatre director who founded â&#x20AC;&#x201C; said Lineup promotes music, performance art, mentorship, personal encouragement, respect, inspiration for other young people, communication, community interaction and recognition of hard work.

Environmental Awareness Day at Bayside Christian College VCAL students at Bayside Christian College on Thursday 26 April organised a series of schoolwide activities designed to raise awareness of environmental issues in the school and local communities. The students organised tree planting for primary school students (pictured), a guest speaker came to talk to year 7s about the effects of littering, year 7, 8 and 9 students worked on restoring a nature track around the school’s new oval and took part in an Amazing Race-style

activity in the Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve, and senior students cleaned the beach and surrounds on Frankston foreshore. The VCAL course at Bayside Christian College is offered to students in years 10, 11 and 12 who want to pursue a trade or similar stream of employement when they leave school. The program is designed with a hands-on and practical learning structure, focusing on group work, project organisation and community involvement.

Challenges and experiences on school camping trips BAXTER Primary School’s unique under-canvas Camping Program again provided its senior school students with new challenges and experiences when they headed off for a weeklong camp at Wilsons Promontory recently. As well as trekking many of the trails and taking in the breathtaking beauty of The Prom’s rugged coastline and granite mountains, the children were able to get up close and

personal with many of the nocturnal residents that would regularly visit the marquee area looking for food scraps. In addition to the wombats and possums immediately around camp, the children saw wallabies, kangaroos, emus and even a deer. One of the highlights of the week was the journey all the children made to the expanse of sand dunes known as the Big Drift. The two-kilometre

trek in was well worth the effort and saw every child attempt to break their own individual land speed record as they flew down the dunes. The success of the school’s Camping Program is greatly attributed to the involvement of the school community and such an experience for the children would not be possible without the assistance of a number of parents who attended for the week.

Great vision led to pre-school BLACKS Camp Pre-School officially opened in 1987. It has grown into an established kindergarten well serviced by the local community. In 1986, a dedicated and enthusiastic group of parents led by Lyle and Sue Ridout believed the need for a second kinder was important. The site on Blacks Camp Rd was already earmarked for a preschool in past planning, so with a lot of campaigning, planning and fundraising by the inaugural committee, Blacks Camp Pre-School was developed. The enrolment extended to a staggering 125 children in 1991, and to accommodate such growth, the pre-school extended the building into a double unit, officially opening on October 8, 1993. The play gym equipment outside was kindly

built and supported by the Rotary Club of Somerville. Blacks Camp continued to meet the needs of the community by providing kindergarten for five groups and today the supply is still meeting the demand. In 2007, the pre-school introduced two groups of three-year-old kindergarten to the community and this has been a great success. Founding director Rose Sedick said: “The major reason for the great success of Blacks Camp Pre-School over the years is the ongoing support and commitment of committees and the continued involvement of families and friends in the centre as well as the wonderful dedication and support of all staff in teaching our children and creating an environment that is safe, encouraging and most of all fun.”

FEATURE PROPERTY

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

Trendy and upmarket for Gen Y buyers IN near-new condition, this designer home gives the trendy, modern executive couple a wonderful entry point into the market. On a compact 450-square metre lot that requires little to no attention, you have all the time in the world to continue to maintain your social calendar and more. A dazzling interior is open-plan in design with rarely seen features such as an amazing in-built television and gas log fire. Perhaps reflecting todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy lifestyles where a lot of meals are enjoyed on the go, there is no established dining area. An alfresco patio would serve nicely as an outdoor room during the warmer months, but for winter the kitchen has a large breakfast counter for meals. Other space-saving touches include an in-built microwave and slimline dishwasher in the kitchen, which also has a large recessed area for a double-door refirigerator. Other conveniences include ducted vacuum, a gas heating system and air-conditioning. From the lounge area you step out to the alfresco entertaining patio with a barbecue on mains gas. The three bedrooms all have built-in robes and the main bedroom has a stylish ensuite with twin vanity units and a double frameless shower. For a home of this quality the price is sensational and even if first home buyers pass on this opportunity, it would just as easily suit retirees looking to downsize.

THERE are many different methods used in modern Chinese massage. Two are cupping and reflexology. Cupping Cupping therapy is usually used as part of body massage treatment and has been a part of Chinese medicine for over 2500 years. Cupping bring fresh blood to the applied area and improves local and general circulation. It is also helps open up the chest, benefits the lungs and can also relieves muscle fatigue. Reflexology Reflexology is a therapy where pressure is

applied to reflex points on feet or hands. It is based on stimulating pressure points of the nervous system, resulting in reduced tension and removal of toxins from the body. The reflex point are related to the internal organs and glands, and are laid out in the same arrangement as that in the physical body.

So m e rville Heading north for the winter Welcome to

MANY people are preparing to go north for the winter and escape colder Victorian weather. It is a matter of getting everything in order and preparing the items to be included for your break. The vehicle has to have a service, and new tyres if needed, but have you given the caravan its fair share of attention? The tyres are okay, there is plenty of tread, but how old are they? The tyre experts say that any tyre older than 5-6 years should be replaced, regardless of the amount of tread left. You will find the manufacture date on the side of the tyre, usually embossed into it. This is in fact quite cheap insurance. Have you recently checked your wheel bearings for sufficient grease and wear as well as your brake linings for even wear, and will they last for the distance you are travelling? Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regard some of the roads as being any different in what they do to our caravans, but dirt roads, no matter how slow you travel, do more damage than a smooth bitumen road. Bearings and

brakes are not immune to dust, which acts as an abrasive on all of the caravan parts. If you have not been north before, you will find the fine red dust is able to find its way into everything, and that includes all of the chassis moving parts as well as all of the items in the front boot, around the fridge and any other area that has an outside vent. If you have the need to cross water over the road that is more than 200mm (8 inches) deep, then at the next available opportunity check your bearings and brakes as they may have been affected, especially if the water crossing came immediately before travelling on a dirt road. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave it too long. Some of the things that you may need to consider, as well

as the items that you have decided to take, are: ď Žď&#x20AC; Extra 15 amp lead (some power points are further away than you think). ď Žď&#x20AC; All leads must be tested and tagged at least every 12 months (new rules). ď Žď&#x20AC; Extra water hose and fittings. ď Žď&#x20AC; Snatch strap and spare â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shackles (in case you need to be pulled out of a bog). U-Tow Caravans can service your caravan and we are qualified to do test and tag on your electrical appliances. We also have a wide range of caravan accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville.

Performance MELBOURNE radio gets another station format change from 21 May when 91.5 becomes 91.5 Smooth FM. The playlist will include greatest hits and contemporary music from artists such as Michael Bublé, George Michael, ABBA, Elton John, Adele, the Bee Gees, Bruno Mars, Phil Collins and Jason Mraz. David Reyne, actor, musician and television presenter, will host Wind Down at 8pm weeknights. Other presenters include Richard Wilkins, David Campbell and Jason Donovan. Reyne, who attended the Peninsula School in Mt Eliza, has graced Australian television screens for three decades as a host, reporter, actor, writer, producer and musician. He is narrator of Nine Network’s Celebrity Apprentice, returning this year for a second series. From 2006 to 2009, he was co-host of 9am With David and Kim on the Ten Network. Before joining Ten, he travelled the world for 14 years on Australia’s longest-running prime time television travel program Getaway. Reyne also wrote and produced for the show. While on Getaway he wrote a column, Reyne’s World, for the Herald

Sun and contributed to the travel section of The Age. Reyne’s acting credits include The Man from Snowy River, Flying Doctors and Sweet and Sour, for which he won a TV Week Logie for best new talent in 1984. He hosted The Midday Show with Tracy Grimshaw and was a presenter at the AFI Awards, the Logies and the People’s Choice Awards. He was the original drummer for Australian Crawl and drummer with the Chantoozies. www.dmgradio.com.au www.watercooler.net.au *** THE Production Company’s three musicals this season are The Producers (10-15 July), Chess the Musical

(21-26 August), and Promises, Promises (3-7 October). “In planning the season we have kept our thinking light and bright. The season opens with probably the funniest musical ever to grace the stage, Mel Brooks’ The Producers,” chairman Jeanne Pratt said. “The second show is the rock classic Chess The Musical, with a brilliant score from ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Tim Rice wrote the book and lyrics.” Promises, Promises is a romantic comedy with songs by Burt Bacharach and script by Neil Simon, and based on the Oscar-winning Billy Wilder film The Apartment. All performances at the State Theatre feature Orchestra Victoria. The Producers opens on 10 July. www.theproductioncompany.com.au *** LONDONER George Michael (born Georgios Panayuiotou) is healthy after a battle with pneumonia at the end of 2011 that led to the postponement of his Australian tour. He is preparing for the trip Down Under and will perform his hits and favourite songs from other

artists. He has had one of the most successful and enduring careers, selling more than 110 million records. Michael joined up with school friend Andrew Ridgeley in 1981 to form the successful pop duo Wham. They made the charts with their second single Young Guns (Go for it) in 1982. This was followed by the re-release of the first single Wham Rap, which, along with Bad Boys and Club Tropicana, gave them three UK top 10 hits. Their United States chart debut was Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, the top US single of 1985. Wham was the first Western pop act to sing in China. In 1986 after five years and 38 million sales, the duo split. George Michael performs at Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday 21 November. Tickets 132 849. www.georgemichael.com www.daintygroup.com *** FORMER Eagles band member Glenn Frey will release a new album, After Hours (Universal), this week. Ultravox will release Brilliant (EMI) on 25 May. EMI will also release The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine on DVD and

Even today, with a chap of similar age alongside at our coffee shop, we look and comment, nicely. No charges have been laid to date. Sexual harassment can and frequently is a dangerous, sometimes frightening experience. Hopefully the wowser element of our society will show some commonsense. *** CARLTON coach Brett Ratten was apparently going through hell awaiting the birth of his first child. We were kept updated all through the week before the Carlton-Fremantle game and when it was on television. I felt for Ratten. I went through similar pressure with my first-born while slaving away in the public service with no help from darling for my added stress. We men do not have it easy. Ratten’s baby arrived safely two days after the game. Well done, Brett. Let’s hear it for Brett. *** I TOLD my wife 12 years ago just before we moved to Rye: “Dromana is the go, darling. Prices will rise.” She did not listen (no surprise) so in accordance with our happy marriage watertight agreement (Rule 1: Always let the wife decide where you live), we chose Rye. Dromana is showing 14.4 per cent growth in property val-

ue. Sadly, darling went to God seven years ago so I’ve missed my big opportunity to say, just once, “I told you, love. Didn’t I tell you?” I can hear her retort as I type: “When did you say that? I don’t remember.” One accepts defeat gracefully, even spiritually. *** I WAS shocked when I heard old Clive James had been at it with lovely Leanne Edelsten. He’s as old as me and 25 years older than Leanne. Dirty old man or lucky old man? This is one of life’s big unanswered questions and Clive is not saying. Still, I’ve suspected him for many years. One look at those eyes told me everything. *** IT’S that time again – the Continental Hotel annual art prize in Sorrento is on this month. Good for peninsula artists and good value for those with a taste for culture. Have a squiz if you can. True, you’ll have to rub shoulders with the hoity-toity people of Sorrento, but I’ve found that after a while they become quite normal, almost. *** HERE’S a conundrum: how is it I can talk with a group of people at, say, the coffee shop or the RSL and, leaving aside football, religion and politics, we agree on almost everything under

the sun (and sometimes the moon), but whenever I come across a fully paid-up member of the Self-righteous Brigade, always heavily aligned with Wowsers Incorporated, we agree on nothing? Not only do I regularly disagree, but also there comes the necessity to agree to escape. Brrrr. *** THE federal government’s postponement of its National Cultural Policy, which was to be released with the budget, is a sad indictment of Labor despite Arts Minister Simon Crean’s efforts. Fortunately, Julia’s wonderful idea of a Prime Minister’s Cup, for the winner of the Western Bulldogs and Greater Western Sydney AFL match, allows us some compensation, I don’t think. While on government matters, let’s be honest – if Brumby’s Labor had presented us with Ted’s latest budget, Rupert’s newspapers would still be screaming blue murder, with baa-baa letters to the editor for a week. *** WHAT’S wrong with my Mighty Magpies? Can I blame umpires? Well, yes, as always. The scribes go out of their way to say what a fine job umpires are doing, but as I see it they are just as bad and seemingly unintelligent

A Grain of Salt I’M not big on Anzac Day ceremonies. I attend the service and watch the men and women march with their medals proudly displayed in memory of loved ones, but it always brings me back to what really happened on the Gallipoli Peninsula and my father’s memories of 1350 days on the frontline in the Second World War. From historical writings and firsthand from my father, we got a raw deal in both world wars and it was the unsuspecting Australian servicemen and women who paid so dearly. Then there’s the week of AFL football presided over by El Presidento Andrew Demetrio and a form of brainwashing with truth the loser. Yes, the bugler played beautifully, a pure moment of beauty and relief. To me it represents more sadness than pride. *** FROM a study of 284 complaints the average payout for sexual harassment is $13,500, most settled out of court. Harassment can apparently include persistent staring. As a clerk aged 22 I was reported to Canberra for “answering the counter in a suggestive manner”. I beat the rap. Later, with the aid of promotion and a stenographer I spent hours discussing matters other than work.

Joke!!! A DOCTOR says to his patient, “I have bad news and worse news”. “Oh dear, what’s the bad news?” asks the patient. The doctor replies, “You only have 24 hours to live”. “That’s terrible,” said the patient. “How can the news possibly be worse?” The doctor replies, “I’ve been trying to contact you since yesterday”.

Blues’ Michie one of three happy coaches By Toe Punt YOU don’t have to look too far in MPNFL Nepean Division to see how things can change in seven days, that old footy adage about a week being a long time in the game. A week ago, three coaches were in despair. Hastings’ Glenn Michie was tearing his hair out, Crib Point’s Dave Lawson was left bewildered and Frankston Bombers’ Tony Blackford was questioning whether he could still coach at the top level. Wind the clock forward and “Mouse” (Michie), “Plugger” (Lawson) and “Blackers” (Blackford) are all up and about again. Hastings got the job done against Somerville, Crib Point beat Devon Meadows in a thriller, and Frankston Bombers got home by the smallest of margins against Dromana. Once again, Round 5 proved how tight this competition is in 2012. In other Nepean Division matches, Rosebud held off a fast-finishing Rye to win by three points, Sorrento managed a comfortable victory against Tyabb, and Red Hill got the job done against Pearcedale. In the 98.7FM Radio Port Phillip broadcast match of the round, Frankston Bombers turned around a horror week by hanging on in the dying minutes to beat Dromana. The Bombers were coming off their most embarrassing loss in memory against Devon Meadows, facing the unenviable task of playing a rampant Dromana. At quarter time, the scoreboard suggested the Bombers were in for another tough day, trailing by 23 points. However, the statistics of inside 50s and clearances clearly showed the Bombers were getting their hands on the footy just as much as the opposition. Haydn Moore in the ruck, Shawn Wilkey and Nathan Lonie took the game by the scruff for the Bombers in the second term. Lonie, the former Hawthorn and Port Adelaide defender, booted four goals in the second, one of seven for the Bombers in the term. They led by five points at half-time, despite losing Ryan Lonie to a shoulder injury. Jay Hutchison, Jarryd Hunter, Tommy Wright and Shaun Clarke were the only four quarter performers for the Tigers. Others such as Steven Gaertner and Toby Banks floated in and out of the game and made an impression, but were inconsistent. The second half was a see-sawing battle, the lead changing more than a dozen times in the last hour. Bombers recruit Brad Wakeling, who had been disappointing in his previous four appearances, was at his best at full forward on Saturday. “Wako” had more than 15 touches, about 10 marks and finished with four goals, including the one that put the Bombers in front with two minutes to go. Dromana took the ball forward and hacked a behind, but the siren sounded with the scoreboard reading 14.14-98 to 14.13-97. Bombers coach Tony Blackford was both emotional and animated after the match. “It’s been a big week, Toey,” Blackford said.

Good weekend: Hastings Blues returned to the winners’ list on the weekend at the expense of Somerville. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

“You know me; I wear my heart on my sleeve and footy means so much to me. I haven’t been able to think about anything else this week. “Contrary to what some, the leaders of this club and the players have been very supportive of me and it showed on the field today. “The leaders stood up and played great football and the kids had a fair dinkum dip. “That’s all I ask for every week. The challenge now is to maintain consistency. “It doesn’t get any easier – Rosebud this week and we need to bring the same effort to the table.” Hastings coach Glenn Michie was equally as happy after his side overcame a slow start against Somerville to win 12.10-82 to 4.24-48. After playing the “worst six quarters of footy in my time at the club”, Michie was happy with the way his side went about winning in the final three quarters. Somerville booted with a gale in the opening term and managed 3.10 to no score. While some chances were wasted, Michie said he wasn’t overly concerned at the break. “The wind was extremely strong and I thought we played the kind of footy we wanted to in the first quarter, despite not being able to get the ball forward,” he said. “We tried a couple of things with Jason Kestle forward and Paul Rogasch back and that seemed to work well. “Troy Glass came into the side and his touch was superb, and young Steve Robb was fearless. “Troy (Glass) proved that he belongs in the seniors and young Robb was really impressive. I wanted to play him last year, but he was too

small. However, with another year of experience and a stronger body, he’ll play a lot of footy for the club.” The Blues took a stranglehold on the game in the second half, booting 9.7 to 1.10 to run out comfortable victors. Their last quarter was dominant, kicked off by a Brad Arnold goal in the first 10 seconds. Cory Meloury booted three for the Blues in another solid performance, and Dave and Steve Hull and Adam Hurst shone. Teenager Troy Jacobson was outstanding for the Eagles, as were Emilio Bitters and Chris King. As expected, Sorrento had to work hard, but proved too strong for Tyabb. The Sharks kicked with the wind in the second and final quarters, finishing with 5.7 to zip in the last to win 14.17101 to 5.3-33. Leigh Poholke booted five for Sorrento and debutante Tommy England finished with a couple. Dion Phillips and Mitch Nibbs were outstanding. The Sharks went into the game without Brendan Cairns, Kayle Stringer-Morris, Ben Schwarze, Brent Kenyon, Ben McCormack and Chris Bagot. Without these key players, a 10goal victory at Tyabb was a mighty performance. Ethan Rahilly, Ryan Jones and Brendan Miller were the best of the Yabbies. Red Hill proved too strong for Pearcedale, winning 11.8-74 to 3.1432. The Hillmen kicked clear with a five goal to one second term and controlled the match from that point. Jarryd Douglas was lively in attack for the Hillmen with three majors while Harry Larwill enjoyed some time in

the middle and in attack, finishing with a couple. Robbie Mace and Daniel McNamara had outstanding games for the winners and the more experience Josh Mold and Peter Dal Lago led from the front. Pearcedale made a run in the third, but inaccuracy in front of goal stoped them bridging the gap. Brendan Fortnam was among the best for the Panthers, while his brother Chris, along with Pat Cadd, were also fine performers. Rosebud controlled its match all afternoon to get the points against Rye. Trailing by four goals with about 10 minutes left, Rye stormed home with the aid of the wind, but fell five points short, losing 11.12-78 to 12.11-83. Tom Baker booted four for the Buds against his old side while Ryan Spooner was best on ground with three goals. Buds’ coach Mark Hustwaite said it was a luxury to play both Greg Bentley and Spooner up forward as well as through the middle. “The form of youngsters Jamie Clarke, Mitch Wells and Daniel O’Heir means that we are much more flexible through the middle,” he said. “Cade Egan is in red hot form, playing as a permanent defender, Lachy Armstrong came in and did a great job at half-forward and Paul Lewis was super against Rhett Sutton.” Hustwaite said his side was starting to play the kind of footy he wanted from them. “We’ve been a bit of a kick and mark side in the past, but with a more potent forward line and settled defence, it allows us to run, carry and spread a lot more quickly. “We showed some good passages of that new style today.” The Buds were in control of the

match for all but the final 10 minutes. Darren Booth continued his outstanding season for the Demons, while Leigh Morse was back after being at the birth of his baby the week before. Justin Van Unen booted four goals. Crib Point was involved in another thriller, kicking the last two goals to beat Devon Meadows by three points, 11.15-81 to 11.12-78. The tight finish prompted coach Lawson to quip “if we keep this up and I’ll end up with more grey hair than ‘Anners’ [Duane Annable]”. “They’re killing me; these close matches,” Lawson said. “With five minutes left on the clock, we were two goals down. Dean Warry kicked one to get us within a kick and then Sam Adams scrapped for the footy, shrugged off two players and snapped a goal to put us in front.” Lawson said he was happy with the points. “I didn’t think we were at our best, but I thought we were consistent in our performance, rather than dropping off for 10 minutes here and there. “We now have three away wins, which is pretty pleasing, but it’s important now to perform against Rye this weekend.” David Cook and Luke Herrington were superb for the Magpies, while Brad Davidson and James and Jacob Cook were outstanding. Daniel Velardo booted five goals for Devon, and Andy Johnson and Jess Dehey were among the team’s best. In bad news for the Pies, John Ransom is out for the year after tearing the muscle from his shoulder. Jay Munday is back and preparing to play.

Mounties face true test after four wins By Toe Punt MT Eliza continued its dominant start to the season on Saturday, belting Edithvale-Aspendale by almost 100 points. Full-forward Scott Lockwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 goals and the elusive and creative Sam Lloydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight helped the Redlegs wallop the Eagles 22.10-142 to 6.1147. After four games, the Redlegs have an average winning margin of 73 points, having thrashed Bonbeach, Mornington, Seaford and now Edithvale. As impressive as that average is, three of those four teams are not expected to challenge for finals. The big challenge for the Redlegs comes in the next two matches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Karingal and Chelsea. The Round 9 match against Frankston YCW also will be a beauty. At this stage of the season, Mt Eliza has all the hallmarks of being able to challenge for the flag. The team has good structures, enormous talent, great depth and quality across every line. In years gone by, Lockwood was expected to work his backside off, playing both ends, having a number of opponents and kicking multiple goals. This year, the Redlegs have the luxury of plonking him at full-forward. The result is 21 goals in four games. Lloyd is a freak; there is nothing this bloke cannot do. He is never trapped on one side of his body, can sit on blokesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heads and can win his own footy through the middle. He has fast become the most dangerous player in the competition. The Magician has kicked 27 goals in four games. On Saturday, the Redlegs won without skipper Jimmy Clayton and playmaker Rohan Heasley. It gave opportunities to the likes of Kyle Docherty, who played well across half-forward in his second game back, and Jack Egan, who played in defence and then through the midfield and attack as part of rotations in the second half. The team is looking very slick and coach Jason Watts is very aware of what he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;in his backyardâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the moment, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a weak link in our side,â&#x20AC;? Watts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our structures are sound, we have great depth, a lot of talent and a willingness to get better and keep

Coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lot: There were more headaches for Mornington coach Josh Beard and his brains trust when the Dogs played Chelsea on Saturday. After a stirring win last week over Pines, the Bulldogs came back to earth with a thud against the Gulls.

improving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are under no illusions that YCW, Karingal and Chelsea are the sides to beat and we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played them yet. We thought we could win the first four games and we have achieved that. Now we set ourselves for the next month.â&#x20AC;? The eight-goal half-time margin allowed Watts to experiment a little in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were in control of the game and it gave us an opportunity to have a look at a few blokes in different roles and swing things around a bit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dylan Emmons played in a few areas and did really well and Egan was very good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flexibility is the key in modern footy and it was important that we tried a few things.â&#x20AC;? James Anwyl and Jack Cole were outstanding for the Redlegs yet again while Ben Lean has been a more than handy acquisition. The undermanned Eagles had few answers. Jordan Derbyshire, skipper Pat Poore and Beau Turner were their

STREAM & SURF AT SUPER SPEEDS THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S II 4G ON AUSTRALIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FASTEST NATIONAL MOBILE NETWORK

best players, while Timmy Mannix continued to work hard despite playing injured. An undermanned Mornington came back to earth with a thud on Saturday, belted by Chelsea to the tune of 93 points. It was always going to be a tough task for the Dogs, missing the likes of Byron Murphy, Matthew Johnson, Ryan Smith, Barry Smeeton and Chris Baker, all important players at different stages. While not conceding, Doggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Josh Beard said before the game it was going to be a tough day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chelsea was coming off a big loss against YCW the week before and was going to come out and try and prove something,â&#x20AC;? Beard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, we were missing four or five of our best, which was going to make things tough. It gave us the chance to have a look at other players, while rewarding blokes in the seconds who had been in good form.â&#x20AC;? Chelsea star Luke Damon booted 10 goals in a best on ground performance,

and Sam Carpenter was again dominant. Fabian Deluca, who played in Port Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag last season, dominated at the centre bounces and around the ground, and Niz Abdallah booted three goals. Jackson Calder is a player of the future for the Dogs and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be rushed. Like Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Hawkins, he is a big kid who dominated junior ranks. With experience and strength, Calder will be a star of the MPNFL inside three seasons. Aaron Rixon was up from the magoos and played well for the Doggies, and Michael Altenkirch and Jack Dixon acquitted themselves well. Mornington is on the up. Josh Beard has done a masterful job, the list is gaining experience and talent and their time will come. With a young list comes peaks and troughs. Patience and support is the key. Bonbeach won its first game of the season, a credit to coach Stevey Capp and the team. The Sharks had been

competitive without getting across the line and controlled the match against Langwarrin on Saturday from start to finish. The Kangas challenged in the third term and got within a couple of goals, but the Sharks steadied in the last to win by 20 points, 12.18-90 to 11.4-70. The story of the match was the appearance of former Hawthorn player Beau Muston, who booted two goals for the Kangas and was one of their best. The Kangasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best player, Dan Wehner, was out with a finger injury, and Bonbeachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, Shane McDonald, was serving the second week of a six-week suspension. Dale Donkin was outstanding for the Sharks with four goals, and Nate Robinson contributed three in a best on ground performance. Jason Ferraro and Josh Bull in the ruck were also standouts for the Sharks, and Mark Tyrrel and Shaun Foster found plenty of the footy. Kangasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; key forward Dale Eames was well held, but Mark McGill and Jarrod Amalfi led from the front. They are the future of the club and emerging as two of their finest. Andrew Withers, as usual, was outstanding, and Shane Urbans continues to shine at his new club. Seafordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season is back on track after knocking over Karingal. With Chris Irving back from Sandringham, the Tigers dominated the clearances and the first half. Karingal regained the momentum late in the third and came charging in the last, but undisciplined acts cost them and Seaford was able to capitalise and run away with the match. Brayden Irving and Michael Kraska booted three each for the Tigers, and Luke Smith and Aaron Walton were outstanding. Stephen Charalambous and Justin Peckett were superb for the Bulls, and Dan Noble made it two good games in a row. As expected, Frankston YCW got the job done against Pines, winning 14.20-104 to 3.4-22. In an uneventful game, the Stonecats booted five goals to one in the first half and at three-quarter time it was seven goals to two. The reigning premier booted 7.6 to 1.1 in the last to record an 82-point win.

Grand final rematch but Pies to prevail Round 8 Previews Friday 18 May Collingwood v Geelong, MCG, 7.50pm Round eight starts with the match of the round – the 2011 grand final rematch. Neither side has been as dominant as their 2011 counterparts, but the Magpies have put together four wins on the trot and are looking better. Collingwood travelled to Queensland and blitzed the Lions by 58 points. Steele Sidebottom was best on ground with 35 disposals at 94 per cent efficiency. The Cats had their biggest loss for some time when they went down to the Crows by 50 points. Geelong started slowly and was never able to get back into the game after a zero to eight goal second quarter. The Cats have had the wood on the Pies in recent times, but don’t look to be up to the challenge. Collingwood by 16 points. Saturday 19 May Port Adelaide v North Melbourne, AAMI Stadium, 1.15pm Another week has passed and another disappointing defeat for the Power. It’s been six in a row and pressure is mounting on and off the field. On the weekend the Power was hot and cold all day in Perth, and could never string together more than 10 minutes of consistent

football. Midfielders such as Hamish Hartlett, David Rodan and Matthew Broadbent just didn’t win enough of the ball. The Kangaroos were equally disappointing in going down to the Bulldogs. The Roos have been relying too much on Brent Harvey and when he was tagged they had no plan B. The Kangaroos may have been bad, but there’s still daylight between them and the Power. North Melbourne by 16 points. Hawthorn v Fremantle, Aurora Stadium, 2.10pm The Dockers make one of the longest road trips when they travel to Tassie to play Hawthorn. On the weekend the Hawks got the job done against Melbourne; they made amends for a slow start and won by 66 points. Lance Franklin’s goalkicking was a worry; he kicked three goals seven behinds. The Dockers played their usual low scoring style when they comfortably beat Port Adelaide. Matthew Pavlich was great, kicking four goals, the last his 500th career goal. One of Ross Lyon’s favourites Clancee Pearce played an excellent game with 26 disposals at 96 per cent efficiency. The Hawks will be too strong in Launceston. Hawthorn by 24 points. Sydney v Melbourne, SCG, 4.40pm This is a match of two out-of-form teams searching to turn the tide and gain momentum heading into the middle of the season. The Swans were disappointing against the Tigers. Sydney went into the game third on the ladder with just one loss,

but didn’t get anywhere near the opposition. Full-forward Sam Reid has struggled to make an impact all year and the Swans looked lost without Adam Goodes. The Dees were equally disappointing on Friday night. Mitch Clark was the only target in the forward line and suffered because of his team’s errant kicking. Sydney by 42 points. Essendon v Richmond, MCG, 7.45pm Saturday night is Dreamtime at the ’G, a game where we acknowledge the impact indigenous footballers have had on our game. The Bombers on the weekend put on a show when they blitzed the undefeated Eagles by 61 points. The midfield has been absolutely outstanding in recent weeks with Brent Stanton, Jobe Watson and David Zaharakis getting more than 30 touches in the last two games. Essendon could also bring Michael Hurley into the team this week to add to a potent forward line. The Tigers had a big win when they upset a disappointing Sydney. This will be a great match, but the Bombers are the in-form team of the comp. Essendon by 56 points. Western Bulldogs v Gold Coast, TIO Stadium, 7.40pm In the first Darwin game of the season, the Suns take on a pumped Bulldogs outfit. On the weekend the Dogs made the Kangaroos look awful when they ran rings around them and won by 18 points. Skipper Matthew Boyd was outstanding with 44 possessions, 20 contested, and

the team flogged the opposition in contested marks. Ruckman Hamish McIntosh sustained a knee scare that may see him miss several weeks. The Suns missed a great opportunity to get a first win, instead handing victory to the Giants. They will regret a last quarter performance where they failed to score a goal and GWS kicked five. This is a tough ask for the Suns travelling all the way to Darwin and playing an in-form side. Western Bulldogs by 35 points. Sunday 20 May Brisbane v GWS Giants, Gabba, 1.10pm This is a match of two of the league’s cellar dwellers, but one is in much better spirits, the Giants winning their first in their short history by beating the Suns by 27 points. Ruckman Jonathan Giles is a great example of perseverance after he spent four years on Port Adelaide’s list without playing a game; now he’s starring for the Giants. The Lions were dismal against Collingwood. Apart from a decent third quarter they were a mile off the pace and questions are starting to be asked about coach Michael Voss. However, the Lions mature bodies should get the job done. Brisbane by 29 points. Carlton v Adelaide, Etihad Stadium, 3.15pm (Note: Carlton v Adelaide and West Coast v St Kilda was written two days before Carlton v St Kilda on Monday night.) The Crows travel to Melbourne with six wins and one loss on the board.

The Crows knocked off reigning premier Geelong in convincing fashion. An eight goal to one second quarter and a 34 possession game from Scott Thompson was too much for the Cats. Veteran defender Graham Johncock went forward for the second consecutive week and was damaging in the second quarter, kicking two goals. For Carlton their indigenous trio will be vital if they are to win. Last time these teams met it was Carlton sneaking over the line by six points, with Andrew Walker best on ground kicking four goals. Carlton by 11 points. West Coast v St Kilda, Patersons Stadium, 4.40pm The Eagles return home licking their wounds after being belted by Essendon. The Eagles looked undermanned with kids like Sheppard, Brennan, Lycett and Neates getting games. This is just a slight blip on the radar as we’ve seen quality teams such as Collingwood, Adelaide and Geelong suffer big losses this year and bounce back. The Saints have a big hole to fill with Ben McEvoy being injured. They’ll be relying on Justin Koschitzke and Jason Blake to help out in the ruck. Last time they met, St Kilda took the points with Nick Dal Santo best on ground. This is a tough game for the Saints travelling to Perth. West Coast by 56 points.
