At-risk teens handed a lifelineBY CATHERINE WATSON

STUDENTS in Casey and Cardinia secondaryschools will be screened to ensure they are notat risk of self-harm as part of a $960,000 pro-gram to tackle youth suicide.

State Mental Health Minister Mary Woold-ridg, announced the initiative in HamptonPark last week in response to a cluster of youthsuicides in Casey and Cardinia in 2011 and2012. A school support team from the nationalyouth mental health service headspace willprovide the services, including assessment andtraining.

Students found to be at risk will be referredon to clinical services if necessary. Initially, theprogram will focus on up to 12 schools thathave been affected by suicide but it could beextended to up to 50 schools and two TAFEcolleges.

Ms Wooldridge said the Casey community— parents, siblings, teachers, friends, class-mates — had endured tragic losses as a resultof youth suicides. She lauded the response ofCasey Council which established a network

committee comprising school, police, ambu-lance and mental health experts to respond tothe crisis.

‘‘Difficult situations can divide or unite acommunity. It’s clear this issue has united thecommunity.’’

Ms Wooldridge said the school initiative wasan Australia first and would become a modelfor other communities facing similar crises.

‘‘Seventy-five per cent of significant mentalhealth issues emerge before the age of 25. Earlyintervention is vital but schools can’t do it ontheir own.

‘‘We want to learn from this so if other com-munities are affected in the future, we canrespond quickly without having to learn allover again how to do it. We want to knowwhat worked and what needs to be improvedto help schools respond to young people whoneed help.’’

The CEO of headspace, Kathleen Alonso,said the Casey community had led the way inproviding a co-ordinated early response toyoung people at risk, and the new initiativewould build on that work and reduce anxiety

among parents, teachers and students.‘‘Youth suicide is complex and multi-faceted

and it needs a complex response. Suicide clus-ters require a highly co-ordinated response.’’

She said the program would provide ‘‘gate-keeper’’ training for school staff to recognisethose at risk, with direct clinical support avail-able when required.

The group manager of emergency opera-tions for Ambulance Victoria, Andrew Wat-son, welcomed the initiative.

Mr Watson, a member of Casey’s youth sui-cide steering committee, said his members hadbeen severely affected by the deaths of so manyyoung people in 2011-12.

He said the incidence had certainly fallensince its peak.

‘‘The main message is to encourage people toseek help.’’

Headspace will open a new centre on the siteof the old Savers shop in Dandenong thismonth.■ If you or someone you know may be at risk,you can find help at Lifeline 13 11 14 andbeyondblue 1300 224 636.

When every day is preciousBY CATHERINE WATSON

Living proof: Veronica Matajevac says everyone needs something to look forward to.Picture: Wayne Hawkins

WATCHING Veronica Matajevac’ssparkling eyes and hearing her readylaugh, you would think she was in thepeak of health.

Yet she has lived with metastasisedbone cancer for three years — statistic-ally speaking, she should be dead.

‘‘I don’t want to wait for death in acorner — I want death to chase me,’’the Narre Warren resident told theWeekly.

It’s that attitude she wants to bringto a support group for women withcancer she has started because shecould find nothing on this side of thecity to suit her own needs.

The group will be a place for womento express their fears — the ones theycan’t talk about even with their famil-ies — but also a place to laugh, tomake friends and to plan ahead.

Ms Matajevac said her mantra was‘‘Do not suffer in silence’’.

The group is open to everyone but isparticularly targeted at women from anon-English-speaking background

who might not feel comfortable in anAnglo group.

“I believe these are the ones who aresuffering in silence.”

Since she was diagnosed with breast

cancer in 2007, Ms Matajevac hasendured multiple regimes of chemo-therapy and radiotherapy.

After two years of remission, herworst moment came in 2010 when she

learned the cancer had metastasised toher bones.

‘‘Of course, I panicked. So I planneda trip to China. When I got back, mycancer count had gone down. Myoncologist couldn’t understand it.’’

And therein lies a secret, shebelieves. ‘‘You need a reason to get upin the morning. There is a great powerin that.’’

Of course, Ms Matajevac has herdown times, too, but she gets out ofthem as soon as possible because shebelieves they are dangerous. “I’m notthe first or the last to face this chal-lenge. How you face it is your choice.”

She says if nothing else, women willfind a friend and gain strength frombeing with others facing the same chal-lenge.

The Living with Cancer group willmeet at Wellsprings for Women,79 Langhorne Street, Dandenong,from 9.30-11am on Mondays,starting on April 22.Details: Veronica Matajevacon 0403 146 521.

Stuck on the straight and narrow

Hobson’s choice: Parking on nature strips is illegal butmay be safer than parking on the narrow streets inCasey’s new estates.

BY CATHERINE WATSON

LAST year Casey Council issued 922 fines to driverswho parked on nature strips, many outside theirown homes.

Drive around Casey and you will see thousandsof cars parked on nature strips, particularly in thenewer housing estates with small building blocksand narrow streets.

Many residents don’t realise they can be fined fordoing so. Even if they do, many have no choicebecause their streets are too narrow to park on.

Last week a Cranbourne East resident told Chan-nel Nine news he intended to challenge an $86 fineissued by the council for parking on his nature strip.

At tomorrow’s council meeting, Casey councillorGary Rowe will introduce a notice of motion toamend the policy to make it legal to park on naturestrips under certain conditions.

‘‘Anyone from Cranbourne North, CranbourneEast, Cranbourne West is affected. Every secondhouse has a car parked on the nature strip.

‘‘Most families have at least two cars. Some ofthose places don’t have a double garage.

‘‘These people bought in subdivisions that theyexpected to be able to live in. We have to live withthis and we have to make it work.’’

But changing the policy might not be so easy. The

council’s acting manager of community safety,Tracey Blythe, said parking on nature strips was anoffence under state legislation, and councils had toenforce it. ‘‘The law is not a matter of amenity but(visual) safety for motorists and pedestrians.’’

Cr Rowe said local laws officers generally exer-

cised discretion about imposing fines. ‘‘Some muni-cipalities such as Melbourne use this as a verylucrative revenue stream. I would hope this is notthe case with Casey.’’

He said the council had inherited state planninglaws that encouraged developers to reduce the sizeof building blocks and width of streets.

At present, residents can apply for a permit toconstruct an indented parking space on their naturestrip, but it could cost them about $5000 and neigh-bours are entitled to use the space too.

He said the council should require estatedevelopers to provide sufficient parking and widerstreets in future.

A solution for existing estates could be a specialcharge scheme, whereby the council would con-struct indented parking spaces on nature strips andallow home owners to pay off the cost.

Cr Rowe will also ask the council to look atestablishing a parking area for trucks to keep themout of residential streets.

CFA forced tostep on the gasEMERGENCY service personnel weregrateful it was school holidays when agas main was ruptured at the LyndhurstPrimary School last Tuesday.

The CFA blocked Boland Drive totraffic and warned residents in the areato close their windows after a post holedigger struck the main just after noon.

Cranbourne CFA senior stationofficer Allan Quarrier said brigadesfrom Cranbourne, Hallam andHampton Park went to thescene.

‘‘The police got there before us andhad already blocked off the street. Itwas quite a large main so there was alarge amount of gas leaking into thearea.

‘‘We were fortunate the gas was dis-sipating into the atmosphere fairlyquickly.’’

He said a Dandenong gas monitoringunit was brought to the site to ensurethe area was safe.

‘‘Had there been pupils at school, Isuspect it would have been a more diffi-cult operation.’’

INBRIEF

House raid nets drugsA Narre Warren house was among several

searched last week as part of a major police

operation targeting the manufacture of

methamphetamines. Police arrested two people

and seized 365 litres of liquid containing

methamphetamine, which they said would equate

to 280 kilograms of pure methamphetamine, with

a street value of up to $205 million. A 45-year-old

Hong Kong national and a 31-year-old Canadian

national appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates

Court on Wednesday charged with importing a

commercial quantity of border-controlled drugs.

Woman on child-stealing chargeA 38-year-old Narre Warren South woman

appeared in the Dandenong Magistrates Court last

Monday week charged with child stealing. She

was charged in relation to an alleged attempted

abduction of a four-year-old child in Cranbourne’s

Thompson Parkway shopping centre on April 3.

The woman was remanded in custody to reappear

in court again today.

Hindu centre approvedA Fijian Indian group can go ahead with a Hindu

community centre and place of worship in Narre

Warren North after the Victorian Civil and

Administrative Tribunal rejected residents’

objections. Casey Council last year granted a

permit to the Shri Sanantan Dharam Society of

Victoria to convert a dwelling in Hallam Road North

to be used on Friday evenings and weekends for

prayers, Hindi and music classes and other

gatherings for women and senior citizens. In her

decision, VCAT member Elizabeth Bensz said the

society, many of whose 230 members come from

Casey, had operated from a converted house in

Dandenong for many years with no complaints

from neighbours.

Greens choose ex-councillorFormer Casey councillor Lynette Keleher has been

selected as the Greens candidate for the federal

seat of Bruce, which covers Dandenong,

Springvale and Glen Waverley. Ms Keleher was a

Rivergum Ward councillor between 2008-12, when

she lost her bid for re-election. She was the

Greens candidate for the seat of Holt in the 2007

federal election.

Fined over dog attackA Hampton Park man has been fined $6603 after

his Staffordshire bull terrier escaped his premises

and killed a cat. The man pleaded guilty in

Dandenong Magistrates Court to having a dog at

large, failing to register a dog, and a serious dog

attack causing the death of another animal. He

was prosecuted by Casey Council, whose

spokeswoman Caroline Bell said residents should

contact the council if they were the victim of or

witnessed a dog attack.

Council gives way on nameBY CATHERINE WATSON

Not happy: Girvasi Giuseppe and Alex Rodda sayCasey Council should have asked residents beforechanging the name of their park. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

Household name:The park is named

in honour of thelate horse trainerTommy Harrison.

RESIDENTS of a Cranbourne street have wona rare victory against the mighty forces ofbureaucracy with Casey Council bowing tosuperior local knowledge.

In late February, the council removed thename plaque on Harrison Reserve, at the endof Harrison Drive and Elaine Court, andreplaced it with another declaring it to be‘Sarno Reserve’.

Residents Alex Rodda and GirvasiGiuseppe told the Weekly they only found outabout the change when the new plaqueappeared.

Mr Rodda said the Harrison name had along local history and residents were angeredby the lack of consultation.

The park was named after Tommy Harri-son, one of Victoria’s top horse trainers in the1970s and ’80s, who owned a training estab-lishment on the site.

Last week, the council’s manager of parksand reserves, Trevor Griffin, told the Weeklythe Sarno Park sign had been removed and aHarrison Reserve sign would replace it.

But the mystery remains over who decidedto change the name in the first place, and why.

Tommy Harrison’s son Doug, himself oneof Victoria’s top trainers, was also mystified.

He said his father’s Cranbourne stableswere named Sarno Lodge after one of his besthorses but that name would have little mean-ing for anyone outside the Harrison family.

The Harrison family moved to the six-hectare property in Monahans Road in 1968,when the area was farmland. In 1987 theproperty was subdivided and the familymoved to Pearcedale.

Keeping the home fires burningMany of Victoria’s elderly are fighting a battle against age to remain in their own homes. CHAD VAN ESTROP looks at

what services are keeping them in their homes.

Tucked away in a corner of Alan’s home inNoble Park is a treadmill and an exercisebike. These are his weapons in his battle

against age.As age and illness have challenged, Alan, 79,

has placed renewed importance on his fitnessregime and somewhat reluctantly opened himselfup to services available to the elderlyliving alone.

Alan refuses to allow age to take hold of hislife. He is hell-bent on maintaining his fitness andusing the services available to him to stay in hisown home.

Psychiatrists and those working in aged caresay the longer the elderly can continue to live intheir homes the better it is for their health andwell-being.

The battle to remain in their homes is onefought by many of the state’s seniors. But for the55 per cent of Victorians aged over 75 who livealone, that battle is solitary.

Alan uses his fitness regime and the Red CrossTelechat service as weapons in his silent battleagainst age.

So when Alan’s phone rings each Friday at11.30am he is quick to pick up.

Alan is one of 70 Melburnians who receive theTelechat service from the Red Cross. The freeservice provides regular telephone calls to peoplewho have little or no social connection. Parti-cipants are matched with volunteers based ontheir interests and hobbies. Volunteers call parti-cipants once a week for an open-ended chat.

“It is outstanding and it takes a lot of worryfrom my mind,” Alan says.

Alan’s other tool against age, his fitnessregime, includes weekly walks at Parkmore shop-ping centre and daily stints on his treadmill andshort weight sessions.

“These are the things I do to fight age. It’s formy own benefit.’’

Alan’s dedication to his fitness stems from thetime he spent in the army between 1950-56.

“I’ve got to keep moving, if I don’t I’ll die,” hesays. “At 75 I could run like a yoyo. I could goanywhere and do anything. I’d like to get back tothat level.”

In recent years, Alan’s battle against age hasintensified; arthritis restricts movement in hishands, pinched nerves in his back mean he canonly stand for short periods, restricted bloodflow to his legs leave him reliant on a walkingstick and his blood sugar level fluctuates daily.

“If I wanted to get more services I could, but Idon’t want it,” he says.

While Alan has largely shunned the servicesavailable to the elderly, preferring to maintainhis fitness as deterrent to the onset of age,many Victorian seniors have taken up theopportunity.

Chadstone resident Carmen has a number ofservices at her disposal in her struggle againstage.

At 79, she faces an uphill battle trying to min-imise the effect renal failure, a hairline fracture in

her left leg and arthritis have on her life.Carmen, who has lived alone for 23 years, has

home cleaning fortnightly through a serviceprovided by Monash Council.

Carmen says it is a “great help” because shedoesn’t have the stamina to complete the clean-ing herself. She says discounted rates for agardener provided by the council helps with theupkeep of her home.

Carmen says her lifeline is a personal alarm shewears around her neck day and night.

The alarm, provided by personal assistanceservice Mepacs, gives her immediate access toemergency services. She is one of almost 30,000Victorians using the service to ensure help isnever far away.

Late last year when Carmen fell in her shower,she witnessed the speed of the Mepacs service.

‘‘I pressed the button because I couldn’t get upand within 10 minutes I was surrounded bypeople,” she says.

Carmen is also a user of the Red Cross Telecro-ss service, which provides daily calls to theelderly who may be at risk of an accident or ill-ness going unnoticed.

If the calls are unanswered an agreed emer-gency procedure is activated and help is arrangedif needed.

Diana Carroll, manager of Red Cross socialinclusion programs, says the benefits of socialinteraction for the elderly must not be forgotten.

“Humans are social creatures and regardlessof what age we are we need some interaction.”

Victoria Police runs a service similar to theTelechat program. Cranbourne, Maroondah aswell as other stations have seniors’ registrieswhich volunteers use to call the elderly on aregular basis.

Angela Dunleavy, chief executive at the Dan-denong South-based Care Professionals — anorganisation providing in-home care and help tothe elderly — says there are gaps in the servicesprovided to people in their homes.

She says extended aged care in homes, sup-ported by the federal government, is “over-

managed and under-serviced”.Ms Dunleavy says administrative costs tended

to prevent the filtering of services down to a locallevel. “All the costs come out of the same bucket.I think the care bucket should be separate fromthe administrative bucket.’’

Peter Feeney, manager of the south-easternregion of National Seniors Victoria — a lobbygroup aiming to improve the lives of those over50 — says information about services providedby local and state government needs to be morewidely circulated.

“The biggest problem is getting the informa-tion out to people.”

Mr Feeney also works with the MaroondahHealthy Ageing Network, where he and his teampublish the Chatterbox newsletter, giving detailsof services available to the elderly in Knox,Maroondah and Yarra Ranges.

Mr Feeney says councils are generally the bestpoint of call to uncover the services available tothe elderly.

“Councils have a lot of information for theelderly, all you need to do is talk to them.

‘‘When people are in their own home they canmaintain their circle of friends and contacts,’’ hesays. ‘‘It gives them more power.”

Psychiatrist Nitin Dharwadkar, who workedin adult psychiatry at Monash Hospital between2006-11, agrees.

Dr Dharwadkar says the level of control insidenursing homes often had a negative effect on theself-esteem of the elderly.

Boat burning bringsa heated response

Abandoned ship: The remains of the boat on the Warneet foreshore. Picture: Beris Markakis

BY CATHERINE WATSON

MYSTERY surrounds the torching of a 16-metreboat on the Warneet foreshore last Friday week,apparently by the owners.

Concerned residents contacted the Weeklyafter unsuccessfully trying to get the authoritiesto intervene.

Last week, the charred remains of the boatwere clearly visible at low tide, with a couple ofspars visible at high tide. Charcoal littered thebeach and floated on the inlet.

Warneet Boat Hire operator Matt Goodwin,whose business is next to the charred remains,was furious about the incident.

‘‘It smells bad and there’s all this ash andcharcoal floating on the inlet.’’

Resident Beris Markakis said she was con-cerned about the impact of oil and debris onwater birds nesting in the Ramsar-listed inlet.

She said she rang Casey Council on Fridaywhile the boat was burning but was told to ringtriple 0. She also rang the Environment Protec-tion Authority and was told to ring the council’s

environmental department. Another resident,who did not want to be named, said the menburning the boat — who appeared to be theowners — told them they had permission fromthe Warneet foreshore management committee.

He said he called Parks Victoria’s San Remooffice and the EPA but ‘‘everyone just handballsit on to someone else’’.

The Weekly got a similar runaround. Aspokeswoman for the EPA said the EPA investig-ated a report about a burning boat on theWarneet foreshore but found no sign of oil sheenor water discolouration.

A council spokeswoman said staff visited thesite last week to investigate reports of the burntboat and discarded batteries but the batteries hadbeen removed.

She said that as the boat was on Crown land itwas the responsibility of the Warneet foreshorecommittee of management.

The president of the Warneet foreshore man-agement committee, Clem Stroud, declined toanswer the Weekly’s questions on the groundsthat he represented the Department of Sustain-

ability and Environment. A Parks Victoriaspokesman said Parks Victoria was aware of theboat but it was in a DSE committee of manage-ment area.

A DSE spokeswoman said DSE and Parks Vic-toria as the local port manager had been workingwith the vessel owner to remove the vessel. She

said the incident was under investigation.Residents said the boat appeared in Warneet

more than a year ago and was initially moored ata private jetty.

At one stage, someone was living on the boat.It sank a couple of times and was refloated, thentowed to its current site.

A hand with the kidseases life on the beat

Helping hand: Kerri-Ann Young needs flexible childcare to help look after her children,Holly, 5, and Austin, 2. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY CHAD VAN ESTROP

SENIOR Constable Kerri-Ann Younghopes flexible childcare being trialledin Casey will allow her to ditch herdesk job and return to ‘‘the beat’’.

At present, the Endeavour Hills-based cop and her husband, who isalso a police officer, share the care oftheir children, Holly 5 and Austin 2.

The family’s work life balance ismade possible largely because MsYoung performs an administrativerole. ‘‘I’m happy to do it because of thekids but it’s not really what I signed up[to the police] for,’’ she said.

Ms Young and her husband altern-ate shifts to ensure one is available tocare for their children.

But in the crossover between shiftsyounger son Austin attends day carefor three hours, twice a week.

Day care structures do not allowhourly payment, meaning Ms Young

has to pay for a whole day — even ifAustin is in care for only a few hours.

From July 1 Casey will host a trialof a new childcare program aiming toincrease access and flexibility of carefor police.

The trial will offer overnight andweekend care to children of officers.

The trials, run by establishedchildcare providers Windermere Childand Family Services and Family DayCare Australia, will operate in Cran-bourne, Narre Warren and Berwickfor 12 months.

Ms Young said the trial would giveher more flexibility and could allowher to return an ‘‘on the beat’’ role.

‘‘I’ll have a look at the specifics anddefinitely look to enrol the kids in thetrial program.’’

A recent survey of Australian policeshowed 58 per cent worked on rotat-ing shifts, meaning many officersstruggled to find adequate childcare.

Early Childhood and Childcare Minis-ter Kate Ellis told the Weekly 50 trialsAustralia wide would provide a modelfor future flexible childcare. ‘‘It’s allabout recognising that there isn’t onesolution for families, so these trials areabout having more solutions andoptions.’’

She hoped the trials would eventually‘‘make the modern workplace moreflexible’’.

“We know that for many modernfamilies, a little bit of flexibility wouldgo a long way in helping juggle theirwork-life commitments.”

Ms Ellis encouraged childcare organ-isations wanting to trial flexible care toapply for funding under the federal gov-ernment’s childcare care flexibility fund.

BY BRAD McGRATH

TOORADIN-Dalmore opened its CaseyCardinia League season with a gutsy 20-pointwin over ROC at Tooradin Recreation Reserveon Saturday.

In windy and tough conditions, brilliantSeagulls star Matt Wade clicked into gear in thesecond half after being shadowed closely byDaniel Ellett, to guide his team to a 12.18 (90) to11.4 (70) victory.

ROC led by 20 points midway through thethird term with Ryan Hendy threatening to tearthe game apart before the Seagulls’ fightback.

‘‘It ebbed and flowed all day,’’ Tooradin-Dalmore coach Tom Hallinan said.

‘‘In the third quarter they really came out ofthe blocks and Ryan Hendy looked like he wasgoing to take control of the game.

‘‘We shuffled the decks at three-quarter time.Beau Miller went into the middle, [Brett] Scar-cella went forward and really provided someleadership.’’

The performance of several Seagull recruits

had coach Tom Hallinan beaming after the game.Scarcella was brilliant and youngster Ryan

Eaton was also among the best players in theirSeagull debuts.

Seagulls recruit Ryan Edwards missed theclash but is some chance of making his debut thisweekend.

Tooradin-Dalmore squandered several earlychances but had managed to eke out a 13-pointlead by the long change.

ROC was managing to stay in the contestthrough the efforts of Ben Tivendale, Hendy andJames Waldon.

‘‘There is just so much build-up to the firstgame and I told the guys not to worry about themistakes,’’ Hallinan said.

Hallinan said it was a super day for the clubafter the newly formed third XI and the reservesalso both recorded victories.

Elsewhere, Beaconsfield started its campaignwith a 50-point victory over Berwick with boomWodonga Raiders recruit Scott Meyer best onground.

Michael McPhie and Troy McDermott com-

bined for nine goals for the victors while KristianMeredith and Brett Robinson were their best.

Pakenham showed it is a vastly different teamfrom the previous season with a 61-point thrash-ing of Keysborough.

New Lions coach Steve O’Bryan gatheredpossessions at will and Beau Wheeler, in hisreturn match, was typically productive. DeanGentle was Keysborough’s best in Chris Bryan’s

first game as senior coach. Narre Warren contin-ued its dominance over Cranbourne with a stun-ning 45-point victory in the grand final rematch.

The Magpies had control right from the outsetand a punishing first half gave the Eagles nochance of revival.

Narre Warren is holding the wood over Cran-bourne in yet another bitter contest between theCasey Cardinia rivals.

Casey’s young gunputs on master classJESSE Hogan showed why he is oneof the most hyped teenagers in thecountry with a match-winningperformance for Casey Scorpions ina nine-point victory over North Bal-larat Roosters at Eureka Stadiumon Saturday.

The brilliant 17 year old bootedthree first-half goals and gaveMelbourne fans a flicker of hopeafter another shellacking for the De-mons, this time at the hands of WestCoast on Saturday.

Hogan is on Melbourne’s AFL listbut is not eligible to play untilnext year. Scorpions coach RohanWelsh believes the teen has a brightfuture.

‘‘Hogan was really good up front— he presented well and markedstrongly.

‘‘He is showing all the signs thathe’ll be a very good AFL player.’’

The Scorpions were leading by40 points at half-time and appearedheaded for a big victory but theRoosters showed plenty of fightingspirit.

The win was given more merit bythe fact the Scorpions lost TomCouch before the game throughinjury, Rory Taggert was knockedout in the opening minutes of the

final quarter and Daniel Nicholsonsuffered a corked leg. Welsh said hewas proud of the composure shownby his team after the Roostersthreatened to steal a victory.

‘‘From a team point of view weactually spoke about having a goodlead at half-time.

‘‘A few people were a bit disap-pointed about that way we finished,but our rotations were well down inthe last quarter.’’

Scorpions ruckman Max Gawnwas again dominant in the ruck andpushed his claims for a call-up tobolster the struggling Melbourneruck department, which was demol-ished by Dean Cox.

James Strauss and captain EvanPanozza were also solid performersfor the Scorpions.

Dropped Melbourne utility JackWatts did not play for the Scorpionsor anywhere after he was kept onstandby for Mitch Clark, who wasunder an injury cloud.

Another dropped Melbourneplayer, Sam Blease, did some nicethings.

The Scorpions now face VFLnewcomers Essendon at Windy Hillfrom 1pm on Saturday.

Falcons bring Dandenong crashing down to earthDANDENONG Stingrays TAC Cupseason crashed from chocolates toboiled lollies on Saturday.

The Stingrays were coming off abrilliant victory over Eastern Ranges butall the things that made that victorypossible were absent in their 65-pointloss to Geelong Falcons.

Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats said the7.11 (53) to 18.10 (118) loss was lit-tered with skill errors and poor decision-making.

‘‘We were never competitively in the

game — the scoreboard might have beenpretty close but in general play theydominated around the contest.

‘‘We were clearly outclassed by abetter team and a more hard-workingteam.’’

The Stingrays simply lacked thevigour of the previous week. SkipperNathan Foote and defender Zac Jonesdesperately tried to lift them but it wasto no avail.

Falcons George Cameron and FraserFort dominated the second half and

guided their team to an importantvictory.

Seventeen year olds Tom Lamb, whobooted two goals, and Daniel Capironbattled valiantly.

‘‘In the third quarter we had probablyhad eight of the first 10 inside 50s. Wejust didn’t take our chances,’’ Yeats said.

‘‘They were then able to wrest themomentum back from us.’’

The Stingrays’ next game is againstWestern Jets on Sunday, April 28.

“We’ll look at time management,injury prevention, diet and psychology,and create an individual developmentplan,” Flanigan said.

“We’ll ask the guys to reflect on thereasons they think they were overlookedby AFL Clubs and work out what defi-ciencies we need to work on.’’

Former Stingrays include JasonPongracic and Leigh Kitchin whileDamien Garner has made the squaddespite being in his first season of VFLfootball with Frankston Dolphins.

Comets put onepast HeathertonCASEY Comets’ strong start to the FFV StateLeague 3 season continued on Saturday with a1-0 win over Heatherton United at the Bosniaand Herzegovina Centre.

The Comets broke the deadlock in the 36thminute when Matthew Morris-Thomas waschopped down in the box and the penalty wasconverted by John McCluskie.

Comets coach Stan Webster said it was a toughatmosphere with a vocal home crowd turning outfor the first game played under lights at the Bos-nia and Herzegovina Centre.

‘‘It was a tough place to go and get a win,’’ hesaid.

‘‘There was a big crowd and it was the firstgame under the new floodlights.

‘‘The lights were really good but the groundwas a bit bumpy.’’

The Comets’ defensive half was rock solid allday with Heatherton United struggling to makeany opportunities.

Morris-Thomas had a goal disallowed in the70th minute, giving Heatherton United a sniff ofan unlikely victory.

‘‘After that they lifted a little bit and maybethought they could win,’’ Webster said.

‘‘Defensively the team was really solid butwe’ve got to try and create a few more chances.

‘‘If we could win 1-0 every week we wouldtake it but it is tough to do, so we need to try andbe a bit more creative.’’

The Comets’ reserves squandered a 2-0 lead togo down 2-3 to Heatherton United in the earliergame. — Brad McGrath

Swans draw a blankCASEY-South Melbourne failed to have anyplayers named in the team of the year at theCricket Victoria awards on Thursday night.

The selectors named Tom Donnell, Dean Russ,Graeme Rummans (captain), Solomon Mire,Lloyd Mash, Ian Holland, Brenton McDonald,David Alleyne, Rhys Adams, Marc Carson,Mark Stafford and Bryce McGain in the top 12players.

McDonald, brother of Victoria and Australianstar Andrew McDonald, won the Ryder Medalas best-and-fairest player of the season, polling37 votes. The former Richmond all-rounder, whocrossed to Melbourne this season, held off Rum-mans on 29 votes.

Mash, Matt Chasemore, Holland and TrentLawford polled 28 votes to finish equal third.

Brunswick Park captain Emma Inglis won thebest and fairest medal for women’s PremierCricket.

Box Hill star Meg Lanning was selected as cap-tain of the women’s team of the Season whichfeatured Elyse Villani, Inglis, Tammy Norquay,Kelly Applebee, Anna Lanning, Emily Smith,Alana King, Emma Kearney, Emma Gallagher,Alex Hartley and Laura Croft.

Ringwood’s Jackson Freeman won the secondXI player of the season. Melbourne’s Tristan Lar-ter and Ringwood’s Sam Wade won the third andfourth XI awards respectively.

Peninsula aims for a wave of supportersPENINSULA Waves are hopeful a home crowdwill give them a boost in their Victorian NetballLeague clash against Monash University Centralat Patterson River Secondary College on Sat-urday night.

The Waves will play the first of two homegames and coach Claire Houben hopes the localcrowds will come out in force to support herundefeated championship team.

But she knows it will be no easy task againstCentral, who are sitting fourth with a 3-2 recordafter five rounds.

‘‘It should be a very closely contested game,’’Houben said.

‘‘I’m really hoping that we’ll match up wellwith them — they are normally a very good sideand got a lot of strong talent.’’

The Waves have been awarded two homegames this season and the club is hopeful strongcrowd turnouts will help them secure more fix-tures on the peninsula.

‘‘We do look forward to it and it’s great for our

young ones as well — the under-19s and div 1 —with parents and club supporters as well,’’Houben said. ‘‘It’s usually a highlight for the cluband hopefully it will be very entertaining.’’

To give the clash added spice, former Wavescoach Robynn Pym, who stood down as champi-onship coach after they bowed out of the finalslast season, has joined Monash University asunder-19s coach.

Central will come into the match on the backof its most telling win of the season after thump-ing UB Ballarat Pride 70-38 in the previousround.

But with the VNL pausing last week for the19-and-under and 17-and-under national cham-pionships, the two sides will come into the game11 days after their last match.

Central coach Leesa Maxfield said her playerswould have to work hard to retain the formfound in the win over the Pride.

‘‘It could be our biggest downfall coming intothis game because we had such a great game

against Ballarat that it would be good to keepthat momentum going.

‘‘We’ll be keeping up our training all week andare very lucky that the AIS squad is coming downto Melbourne. We’ll play a full, proper gameagainst them on Monday, then train on Thursdayand play Saturday.’’

Maxfield said her players looked forward toplaying in a different venue and against theWaves, who had stamped themselves as the earlypremiership favourite.

‘‘It’s a really good venue and fairly easy to getto with the new roads heading to Frankston.Heading out that way is not as big a deal as itused to be and our two sides match up very welleven though they haven’t lost a game yet.

The Waves are represented in the Victorianunder-19 team by Meg Ross. Julia Smith is play-ing in the state under-17 team.

Waves division 1 player Jess Whitford is anassistant coach with the under-19 state team.

‘‘We did let the other team back in towards theend.’’

The lead stretched out to 20 points during thethird term when Hamish Abbott nailed severalthree-pointers to put the Cavs in control.

Charlie So was also back to his productive bestafter a quiet game against Keysborough lastweek.

‘‘The group, which is so young, is still gettingused to playing at this higher level,’’ Suttie said.

‘‘It’s very hard to judge when we’ll hit our peakthis season because some pick up the experiencereally quick.’’
