Planning Minister Matthew Guy has offered to overturn a Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal decision handed down last week, effectively giving the green light for a new Coles supermarket in Mernda.

Whittlesea council contentiously supported a plan by Coles and developer partner Ascenzo Industries to build the supermarket and shopping centre complex at 1435 Plenty Road, but VCAT ruled in favour of a bid by rival Woolworths to stop it.

Mr Guy wrote to Whittlesea mayor

Guy pulls rank on VCAT Cr Mary Lalios offering support for a ministerial amendment to facilitate the Coles plan.

“I would be willing to implement a planning scheme amendment which allows the proposed development,” Mr Guy said in his letter. “With regard to your council’s adopted position on this matter, I wish to acknowledge the state government is supportive of commercial and retail investment in strategically located areas. The Mernda growth corridor is one such area.”

Whittlesea council said its councillors were now considering Mr Guy’s proposal.

Ascenzo Industries manager James Hunt

said construction would start immediately if councillors voted to take up Mr Guy’s offer.

“It’s a fantastic result that Matthew Guy has stepped in,” he said. “Otherwise the residents of Mernda would be without a supermarket. It’s also a fantastic outcome for competition.”

Mr Hunt said Woolworths’ VCAT win was fought on a “very technical basis”.

Woolworths owns 25 hectares on the south-west corner of Mernda town centre and proposes to build a $100 million shopping centre with 80 mixed-use shops, two department stores and two supermarkets, one of which it will occupy.

The Coles and Ascenzo proposal for a 2.4-hectare site on the north-west corner of the Bridge Inn and Plenty roads intersection includes a supermarket, medical centres, childcare, gymnasium or associated retail, residential and office spaces.

VCAT voted down the proposal last week on the basis that if it went ahead, the council’s plans to create a compact, pedestrian-oriented and traditional mixed-use town centre would be “frustrated and potentially thwarted”.

Coles and Woolworths were contacted for comment but did not reply before Star Weekly went to press.

As the oldest president of the oldest dedicated poultry club in Victoria, Greenvale’s Alf Woods sometimes jokes he’s getting a bit long in the feather.

The 86-year-old, who helped write the book on Australian Poultry Standards and still travels across the country judging birds, is a legend in chook circles.

The stalwart of Essendon Poultry Society is a third generation office- holder, following in the chooksteps of his grandfather Alfred and dad Allan.

So dedicated is he to all things poultry that after he married in 1950 his lovely bride Gladys found herself spending the first day of her honeymoon in the poultry pavilion at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

“She knew what she was getting herself in for,” Mr Woods laughs.

The secret to active old age, he says, is work, chilling with … and eating chickens.

“I talk to my chickens every evening and I eat chicken soup every night. Every week I kill three chickens out of my backyard and make soup for the rest of the week.”

The Essendon Poultry Society’s 127th show, including the state junior championships, is at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds on Sunday, June 29

Changes to bushfire risk mapping could save landowners in Melbourne’s north thousands of dollars in compliance measures.

Planning Minister Matthew Guy has approved updates to bushfire-prone area (BPA) maps, which require specific construction standards for areas in 26 municipalities, including Whittlesea and Hume.

Mr Guy said a review had reduced unnecessary red tape for landowners by

had been removed from the BPA mapping. This included lots with houses threatened by the Mickleham/Kilmore fire earlier this year.

“People who have bought a new lot in these estates should still check the status of their property, as some may still be designated as a bushfire-prone area,” the spokesman said.

“Those who have had their lot removed from the BPA will save about $3000 on some building safety measures.”

Whittlesea council advocacy and communications director Griff Davis said it

“removing the cost burden of complying with these regulations”.

A total of 688 lots were removed from the construction standards requirement in Hume, with 143 removed in Whittlesea.

Mr Guy’s spokesman said most of the lots removed were in new housing estates where the bushfire risk had been reduced because of progressing development and the removal of areas of overgrown grass.

He said developed sections of several estates on the fringes of Greenvale and Craigieburn

was not necessary to have houses in urban areas built to a BPA standard. “It really is unreasonable to ask them to invest in that level of protection,” he said.

Whittlesea township has also been removed from BPA maps. Mr Davis said some landowners could save as much as $10,000.

Protection requirements in BPA zones can include fireguards on guttering, gap fillers around windows and doors, fire-retardant doors, sprinkler systems with diesel-powered pumps, and fire guards over vents.

Fire rules relaxed in urban areas

Dark, brooding skies set the tone for Tenielle Reid’s stillborn son’s funeral four years ago. But as the procession of family and friends left the church after the service, a big rainbow appeared, giving some comfort to the then-24-year-old grieving mother. The Lalor resident’s voice waivers when she reflects on the loss of her first-born child, Ianto, but talk of her next fund-raising campaign provides some relief. She’s taking part in SIDS and Kids’ latest campaign, Dare to Care for Red Nose Day, on June 27. In memory of Ianto, she’ll dye her hair with all the colours of a rainbow, and she hopes to raise $2802.10 – a monetary version of Ianto’s birthday, February 28, 2010. The Dare to Care campaign asks people to take up a personal challenge in a bid to raise funds to help the charity. Ms Reid, 28, has since had two daughters. Lexi Cottee

Northland shopping centre has opened an Australia-first “quiet room” for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

A partnership between Amaze, formerly Autism Victoria, and the Colonial Estate- owned shopping centre is behind the “sensory soothing space”, which was purpose-built to offer respite for autistic adults and parents with autistic children.

The bright lights, echoing corridors and loud music of shopping centres can create sensory overload and lead to “meltdowns” in people with ASD, Amaze chief executive Fiona Sharkie said.

“This is a really innovative idea. People on the spectrum often can’t go to shopping centres because there’s too much sensory stimulation. Now there’s somewhere they can go for some

downtime.” Northland centre manager Michael Bickers said a Northland employee with an autistic child had instigated the idea.

Amaze suggested the centre build a dedicated space for sufferers to reduce their anxiety and over-stimulation.

Mr Bickers said it was fitted with pastel colours, soft furnishings, soft lighting and very little stimuli.

“We wanted to provide something needed by the community,” he said.

Almost 90 per cent of the cost of the $40,000 room was covered by voluntary work, with Northland’s contractors, including carpenters and air-conditioning providers, donating their time and the cost of materials.

North-west metro region police are worried about the growing numbers of truck drivers booked for driving under the influence of drugs.

A month-long statewide police operation targeted more than 5000 heavy-vehicle drivers from early May until early June, with a specific brief to check for fatigue, speed and drug use as well as compliance with standards and procedures.

Results from north-west metro, which includes the Hume and Calder freeways, show more than double the number of drivers on these state highways were found to be either drug-affected or chronically fatigued than those driving the arterial routes in the west, south and east of the state.

Of the 221 trucks and other heavy vehicles stopped in Melbourne’s north and west, more than a quarter of drivers were found to have committed an offence, with 30 fatigue-related offences detected, 12 defect notices issued, and nine positive drug tests taken.

That compares to two positive drug test results and eight mobile phone use reports among 291 truckies in the state’s western police region.

About 1400 offences were detected over all Victorian regions during Operation AUSTRANS, which was part of a joint Australian and New Zealand police commissioners’ commitment to the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety.

Major Collision Investigation Group’s

Inspector Bernie Rankin said the number of truck drivers testing positive for drugs was totally unacceptable and a real risk on the roads.

“The use of illicit drugs by truck drivers is a real concern for us,” Inspector Rankin said. “Heavy vehicles can weigh up to 65 tonnes and when they collide with a smaller vehicle, such as a car or motorcycle, the results are devastating.”

He said the biggest concern for police was that one in every 23 heavy-vehicle drivers tested returned a positive preliminary oral fluid test for drugs.

“I know there are a lot of hard-working, law- abiding people on the roads driving heavy vehicles,” Inspector Rankin said.

“Unfortunately, the behaviour of those doing the wrong thing impacts on the overall reputation of the transport industry.

“And this is a vital industry for Australia. Just about everything we buy is transported on our roads and highways.

“It’s essential we police the industry in a way that enables us to remove from our roads those drivers who have no respect for the law or other road users,” Inspector Rankin said. “All road users benefit from a safe heavy-vehicle industry”.

Ford will shed about a third of its Victorian workforce between now and the end of the year, forcing redundancy packages on 250 of 300 employees ahead of its forecast closure in October 2016.

Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said 180 workers will be laid off from the company’s Broadmeadows headquarters and a further 120 from its Geelong plants. Some will leave as soon as this week.

Mr Sherwood said employees being forced to take early redundancies were being offered emotional support, financial planning advice and retraining opportunities.

“This is not easy on anybody,” Mr Sherwood said. “There is no one solution for every employee.”

Broadmeadows Labor MP Frank McGuire accused the state and federal governments of failing in their duty of care to Ford workers and to jobs growth in Melbourne’s north.

“They haven’t got a co-ordinated strategic plan to address the situation,” Mr McGuire said.

“Thirty million dollars was put in by federal Labor, $10 million from Ford and, the smallest amount, $9 million from the Napthine government, to attract new business to the north.

‘‘How many companies have been supported in Broadmeadows? Has there been even one?”

Mr McGuire also slammed the state government for “gutting” Victoria’s TAFE sector, particularly the $25 million cut from the Kangan Institute at Broadmeadows, which provides auto-industry training and engineering courses.

“We’ve got to stop the unfairness. We’re not forgotten people.”

Kangan Institute chief executive Grant Sutherland has rejected claims the TAFE has been “gutted” by funding cuts and the demise of the local auto industry, forcing it to merge with Bendigo TAFE.

“Plans for the merger are ultimately built around a growth strategy for the organisation through increasing enrolments,” Mr Sutherland said.

“The boards of the two institutes believe that the institute will be strengthened and able to pass on the benefits to students of it being a larger institute.”

Broadmeadows MP Frank McGuire said he had written to the Premier and Prime Minister about the predicament faced by tertiary students and workers needing skills upgrades.

Mr McGuire condemned the state government for failing to reinvest in local tertiary education.

“Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey added to the folly by baiting GM Holden to leave Australia, and then Toyota withdrew, marking the demise of our once iconic automotive industry,” he said.

“I’ve called on the premier to confirm that Broadmeadows will not be dudded again and that the planned merger between Kangan Institute and Bendigo TAFE will not see further cuts to funding, courses, students or staff.’’

Mr Sutherland said TAFEs operated in a demand-driven market. “The key for any training provider is to generate sufficient student numbers.’’

Scullin MP Andrew Giles will fight for federal funding to be restored to a Thomastown Aboriginal early-learning centre when Parliament resumes in Canberra this week.

Funding from the National Partnership Agreement on Indigenous Early Childhood, directed to the suburb’s Bubup Wilam for Early Learning hub, will cease on June 30.

Last Tuesday, Mr Giles and opposition indigenous affairs spokesman Shayne Neuman met Bubup Wilam chief executive Lisa Thorpe at the Main Street centre to discuss the possible impacts of the loss of funding.

“For me, Bubup Wilam is almost short-hand for government intervention at its best. People are really benefiting from this kind of community control,” Mr Giles said,

Neither federal nor state government

2014-15 budgets cover the operational costs of the childcare and parenting service, throwing the centre into crisis mode.

Ms Thorpe said no one wanted to see the centre go, but there had been no cash commitments.

“It’s very clear there’s no commitment coming from the Commonwealth for funding,” she said.

A spokeswoman for the Victorian Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development, Wendy Lovell, said the state government was undertaking modelling work to identify options for ongoing and sustainable operation of Victoria’s two Aboriginal children and family centres.

Policy changes and population growth are putting pressure on future funding of home and community care services.

The changing national policy platform is creating uncertainty for local communities and causing service providers to reassess their capabilities in the face of ageing, and growing, populations, Hume council heard last week.

The council adopted a long-term strategy addressing the development, delivery and funding of home and community-based

details the findings of a planning project set up by the state Health Department’s north and west metropolitan region to examine the capacity of the current Home and Community Care service system in the outer metro growth areas of Melbourne’s north and west.

The project, a collaboration of the Health Department and the University of Melbourne, will fund planning and development officer positions at Hume, Melton, Whittlesea and Wyndham councils and at primary care partnerships Health West and Hume-Whittlesea for two years.

services for older residents over the next 17 years.

In this time, Hume is predicted to grow by more than 60 per cent, rising from about 175,000 people in 2011 to almost 281,000 by 2031.

The greatest demographic of people to increase over this time is those aged 65 and more, rising 114 per cent, councillors were told.

“This age cohort is expected to account for around one-fifth of the overall population growth,” the report stated.

The Ageing in the Growth Corridors report

Hume mayor Casey Nunn said Hume’s Ageing in Growth Corridors plan focused on maintaining the independence, wellbeing and safety of older residents, while facing the challenges of rapid population growth.

She said Hume council had committed to funding a liaison officer to work with culturally and linguistically diverse communities and raise awareness of the services available to them.

The council will also develop a positive- ageing strategy.

Hume handles future with care

Whittlesea council is expected to announce a short-term solution to the parking crisis at South Morang railway station this week.

Director of advocacy and communications Griff Davis said the council had been liaising with the Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure, Public Transport Victoria (PTV) and Westfield Group to come up with an agreeable solution for all parties.

He said the council was considering a number of proposals that PTV suggested last week.

The proposals will be made public at some stage this week.

Once a commuter parking solution has been decided upon, Planning Minister Matthew Guy will need to sign off on it before any action is taken.

“I’m confident we’ll come up with a solution this week,” Mr Davis said.

Meanwhile, privately held land at 351-359

McDonalds Road, South Morang, just north of the railway line, has come up for sale.

The Mernda Residents Development Group is urging the council and the state government to buy the land and turn it into a multi-level car park to complement the existing railway station parking.

Group organiser William Sharp said the $5 million price tag would be a small price to pay for such a vital piece of infrastructure. “Someone needs to act quickly and secure it.”

A spokeswoman from the Minister for Public Transport Terry Mulder’s office acknowledged “the sustained demand for car parking at this point in time”.

But she said the McDonalds Road property was unsuitable for commuter parking “as it has been identified in Whittlesea council’s planning scheme as a site for future medium- density residential housing.”

High-visibility gear and hard hats are now mandatory at the site of what will be a new purpose-built Broadmeadows Children’s Court. Attorney-General Robert Clark turned the first sod earlier this month on land beside the existing Broadmeadows Magistrates Court.

Mr Clark said the $18.54 million project was intended to improve access to court services for residents across the northern suburbs.

Funding for the new court was announced as part of the 2012-13 state budget to alleviate pressure on the Melbourne Children’s Court.

The $11.4 million building will include two courtrooms, magistrates’ chambers, separate and private courtyards for children and adults, dedicated meeting and interview spaces, a secure child waiting room and separate work

areas for court, Department of Human Services and Victoria Legal Aid staff.

Additional recurrent funding of about $7.14 million has been allocated for another magistrate and additional staff, and to help develop and adopt child-friendly legal practices.

Mr Clark said the building had been designed to provide privacy and security for children, their families, staff and members of the public.

Construction is due to be completed by mid-2015.

Once open, the court building will also house a new family drug treatment court as part of a three-year pilot program to protect children and rebuild families torn apart by alcohol and drug abuse.

which increases their risk of psychological harm and developmental regression.”

RACP paediatrician Dr Karen Zwi, who recently visited Christmas Island, said she was concerned by the lack of care for children with special needs and pregnant women.

“Medical services are not adequately screening children for infectious disease, developmental delay and common problems, such as anaemia,”

she said. “These conditions can be easily treated if detected early but can cause long-term complications if neglected.”

Dozens of protesters demonstrated outside the Broadmeadows detention centre on Wednesday over the return of three families to Christmas Island.

The Refugee Action Collective told Star Weekly a family of Tamils and another from Burma had been returned to Christmas Island after spending months at the centre receiving medical attention.

An Iraqi mother and her daughter were also on the list to be returned but were not in the vans that ran the gauntlet of protestors.

“It seems quite cruel,” Refugee Action Group spokesman Chris Breen said.

“We don’t know why they’re doing this. They could just release these people into the community until their claims are processed.”

He said young refugees were not going to school, depression was widespread among the asylum seekers, and people were “shattered and crying”. “Future generations will look back on this as one of the great crimes against humanity,” Mr Breen said. “Processing [of claims] has all but frozen and there are no processes for those living in the community.”

Meanwhile, Australasia’s largest specialist medical college, the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), has called on the federal government to release every child from Australian immigration detention centres.

New RACP president Professor Nicholas Talley said the group was concerned at Australia’s policy of mandatory detention.

“It’s unacceptable that we are locking up more than 1000 children, including unaccompanied minors, for up to nine months,” he said.

“Children in detention are exposed to violence, self-harm, distressed parents and adults with significant mental health problems,

A new website has been launched by Crime Stoppers Victoria to make it easier for the public to report crimes.

The site received $200,000 funding from the state Community Crime Prevention program to upgrade its internet presence and reporting technology.

Crime Prevention Minister Edward O’Donohue says the new website links to mobile phone applications and social media platforms, meaning that people, particularly the young, can report crimes more easily.

Photographs can now be uploaded directly from mobile phones on to the Crime Stoppers’ site.

“New smartphone apps will make it easier to report crime online or call for emergency assistance,” Mr O’Donohue said. “It gives all members of the community a variety of options to report crime in a way that is comfortable and empowers [them].

“The new website features Crime Stoppers’ information in 10 languages, as well as information on how to make a report in a language other than English,” Mr O’Donohue said.

The new website offers support across a range of languages, the minister said. It is part of the government’s $35 million Community Crime Prevention program to help promote community safety.

It’s dusk on a June night at the Jacana footy ground. Training is under way and club president Rick Lloyd has opened up the clubhouse and its kitchen.

He’s turned on the urns and ovens, checked in with team coaches, handed out notices and distributed gear, all the time prioritising who needs what and by when.

In the past two years, Lloyd has overseen a major turnaround at the Jaguars, who play in the Essendon District Football League.

He names Kahn Sayers, Mark Chambers and senior women’s coach Sharon Campbell for their staunchness in rebuilding the Jacana brand and bringing the club back to its grassroots.

It has had a colourful past, seeding a number of AFL stars but also gaining a bad-boy reputation within the local league. Two years

ago, membership numbers were dangerously low; now the club is filling all its sides from under-10 to seniors and women’s teams.

Lloyd has instigated leadership training among coaches and older players and teams are no longer segregated so young players can now rub shoulders with their older heroes.

The club works with youngsters and teachers in local schools and is involved in footy workshops at Broadmeadows shopping centre.

“We’re trying to get more people from all walks of life and cultures to know they’re welcome here,” Lloyd said. The club will hold a Ladies’ Day on July 26 and is inviting women to frock up for a fun night. More details from Deb on 0412 608 520, or visit www.jacanafc.com.au.

Abutting Sycamore Reserve, this impressive residence’s verdant setting will appeal to those who enjoy leafy living within moments of services such as buses, RMIT University, Metropolitan Ring Road and a shopping centre.

On about 689 square metres, the four-bedroom property also caters for entertaining on a grand scale and child-friendly activities in the backyard.

While lorikeets converse in the gum trees of the neighbouring reserve, new owners

can host a gathering in the vast pergola area which has a brick pizza oven and a 10-person spa.

Kids can play basketball on the asphalt area and there’s plenty of space for a trampoline or cubby house. Pets can also roam around in the secure backyard.

In the cooler months, entertaining inside is no problem.

There’s an inviting lounge room (with front garden views) that leads to the rumpus room – with a bar – that links to the

outdoor entertainment area. Leading from the rumpus room, there’s a fourth bedroom that could also be a home office as it’s away from other bedrooms.

Cooking for guests is made easy in the bright kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, plenty of cupboard space and large pantry – and lively conversation can be then enjoyed in the adjoining meals area.

A children’s wing has two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes; a family bathroom with

decorative timber vanity unit; the toilet is separate. The lovely main bedroom is zoned for peace and privacy and includes a walk-in wardrobe and en suite.

Extra perks are ducted heating and cooling, alarm, shed and a double garage with rear access.

St Francis of Assisi Primary School, Mill Park medical centre, Mill Park Secondary College, and Lalor train station are nearby.

A modern answer to creating a warm and inviting home in a suburb known for its proud and discerning residents is being realised in Pascoe Vale South, says a director of Better Living Group, Dino Mazzei.

Set across 7500 square metres, The Pasco is perfectly positioned on Cumberland Road, just one minute from Citylink and less than ten kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD; it creates a new way of life in one of Melbourne’s most connected communities.

Developed by local developer Better Living Group, and designed by apartment and residential specialists Point Architects,

with interiors by Colab Design Studio, the $56 million development is a three-level project across four boutique buildings, comprising 142 architecturally-designed one- and two-bedroom apartments priced from $315,000.

Inspired by its surrounds and harnessing the tranquillity of nature, abundant gardens create an urban retreat while generous interiors offer a clean, streamlined approach to suburban apartment living.

Mazzei says they have set out to create homes that reflect the personality and taste of those desiring the best in quality, design and lifestyle in one of Melbourne’s most community-focused hubs.

“We’re committed to creating an inviting community tailored to the uniqueness of Pascoe Vale South,” he says.

“With this in mind, we envisage The Pasco as a private community that celebrates and builds on the warmth of the suburb’s long-time residents and aims to be a positive addition to the growing neighborhood.”

To create the ultimate experience in modern urban living, each of the apartments has been designed to maximise space and living options.

They have timber floorboards, and open-plan living with flow from the kitchen (with European appliances and stone

benchtops) to the dining and living areas which encourages entertaining.

Passive solar heating and ventilation, natural light and a six-star energy rating come as standard.

All apartments have a car space and storage cage, with lift access from the basement car park to all levels of apartments.

Construction is scheduled to commence in early 2015 and due for completion by the end of that year.

The Pasco display suite, at 23-35 Cumberland Road, Pascoe Vale South, opens by appointment only. Visit www.thepasco.com.au for more information.

Bundoora was again on the back foot early in the Northern Football League division 1 clash against Eltham on Saturday.

But this time the reigning premiers quickly regrouped to turn a 20-point quarter-time deficit into a seven-point half-time lead.

The Bulls then ran away with the game in the second half to win 13.10 (88) to 7.8 (50) at Yulong Reserve.

Bulls football manager Darryl Richards said the first-quarter yips were a concern.

“We’ve been working on what we’ve been doing wrong in the first quarters,” he said.

“We seem to be a bit short on aggression and lacking intensity and then we have to play catch-up.”

He said the Bulls lifted the intensity after quarter time.

“You can’t wait for your teammate to do it for you,” he said. “You need to step up and do it yourself, which we did after quarter time.”

Richards highlighted the performance of Trent Barbero as one of the reasons the Bulls won.

“Trent was at full back on James Kroussoratis, who had kicked 26 goals in the previous four rounds, and to keep him to one goal was a fantastic effort,” he said.

“Adrian Papaluca was flawless up forward and gave them a lot of grief late in the game.

“Brayden Shaw, one of our co-captains, led from the front. His aggression at the footy was top class and when he’s up, the others follow his lead.”

The win moves the Bulls to second on the ladder.

“We’re in a better position than last year in a win-loss sense, a win above last year,” Richards said.

“In that sense we’re fairly happy. The position on the ladder is different.

“We have two big weeks which will really tell us where we’re at.

“We face West Preston Lakeside, who beat us after a slow start, then Montmorency who we had a close game with.”

Whittlesea’s winless division 1 season continued with a 35-point loss to Northcote Park, 13.8 (86) to 7.9 (51), at Whittlesea Showgrounds.

In a match between the two bottom sides, Northcote Park took the early initiative with five goals to two in the first quarter.

The away side extended the lead in the second quarter to lead by 31, before an even second half. Andrew Fairchild was best for the Eagles.

Demons find a different way to winIts two key forwards were well held, but Tullamarine found other avenues to goal to record a convincing win against Glenroy in division 1 of the Essendon District Football League on Saturday.

Seeking to secure a top-two spot, the Demons controlled the match from the first quarter to win 22.11 (143) to 10.8 (68) at Leo Dineen Reserve.

Demons coach Ash Manning said it was a bigger victory than he’d expected.

“You always hope for a win and we probably were expecting to win, but not by 75 points,” he said.

“I think our spread from the stoppages allowed us to have a lot more run around the ground and be able to convert that up forward.”

Manning said he was pleased by how his players stood up to cover those who were being well held.

“Our best two forwards were reasonably well

held, but we still had plenty of options going forward,” he said.

“It was a good team effort. The back line was terrific and we controlled the midfield.”

Jason Harmes and Jonathon Kent led the 13 goalkickers with four each.

The win sees the Demons in second spot, two games clear of third-placed Taylors Lakes.

“One more win for the season and finals are basically assured,” Manning said.

“It doesn’t matter whether you finish first or second, you get the second chance and we’ll be trying to consolidate a top-two position over the next few weeks.”

Manning said he had close to a full list of players to choose from.

“We’re missing Justin Marcey, our best and fairest winner of last season, and Vincent Schiavello hurt his knee yesterday,” he said.

“We have a couple of facial injuries from the game, including a possible fractured

cheekbone, but compared to last year we have a lot fewer injuries.”

This week the Demons play Hillside, which was on the receiving end of a 128-point loss against West Coburg.

“The first time we played them we underestimated them and they should have beaten us,” Manning said. “We won’t be doing that again.”

In other division 1 matches, Craigieburn lost to Taylors Lakes 9.12 (66) to 3.16 (34).

In the premier division, Greenvale continued its charge up the ladder with a 74-point win over Maribyrnong Park. After an even first half, the Jets kicked away with 13 goals to three to win 20.8 (128) to 8.6 (54).

In division 2, Roxburgh Park continued its unbeaten run defeating Burnside Heights by 129 points, 21.18 (144) to 2.3 (15).

Despite struggling for numbers, South Morang women’s football team takes to the park full of confidence every week.

“It’s been a bit of a struggle and we’ve been playing with 16-17 on the field most weeks,” coach Maurice Baldasso said.

“I have told them they can forfeit [for not having a enough players] but they want to play every week.

“We’ve had coaches from other sides say ‘if you had a full side you’d beat us’.”

South Morang is winless in its first season in the Victorian Women’s Football League, but the focus has been on having fun and getting more women involved.

“We had a youth side before this season but it’s our a first season in the senior competition,” Baldasso said.

“We have some good footballers and others who have just come off the streets wanting to play.

“All girls are welcome. It’s good for the area and it’s a social thing that girls can get involved in.

“Women’s footy is a quality game and people need to come and see it.”

Baldasso said that despite the lack of a win, some of the team’s younger players were showing talent.

“Cassie Hurst was part of the Vic Metro under-21 side which played a Vic Country side last week. She was one of the best on the ground,” he said.

“Madison Dunn played in the women’s ANZAC Day clash.”

It has been a challenging season for Baldasso.

“I put my hand up halfway through the season, the previous coach left for another club,” he said.

“I took over three weeks before the start of the season and we lost about eight players when the coach left.

“It’s hard coaching the women, it’s different style as opposed to men.

“It’s a lot more about teaching basic skills, than developing game plans.

“I teach them that it’s not about winning but what you get out of it. ”

On Sunday, the Lions lost to Wyndhamvale 18.19 (127) to 2.2 (14).

Craigieburn matched it everywhere but on the scoreboard with Blackburn Vikings in Big V men’s division 1 basketball on Saturday.

The Eagles were made to pay for a slow start, losing 81-66 at the Craigieburn Leisure Centre.

The stats suggested nothing separated the two sides, which were just about equal in field goal shots and accuracy, rebounds and turnovers.

But the Vikings’ shooting from beyond the

Craigieburn coach Dennis McNamara addresses his charges. (Wayne Hawkins)

Eagles pay for slow startthree-point line was the difference . . . they made 10 of 21 attempts, against the Eagles’ two of 13.

Blake Dickinson top-scored for the Eagles with 18 points.

The Eagles’ women’s side had a massive 71-46 win against Hawthorn Magic in division 1, outscoring it in every quarter.

In men’s state championship division, Hume City had a mixed weekend.

The Broncos’ slow start saw them 27 points down at half-time against McKinnon in the

first game. They hit back in the second half but left it too late, losing 101-93. Jermaine Maybank had 25 points, while Jamal Brown chipped in with 26.

The second game was much closer, the Broncos beating Werribee Devils 82-78 at Broadmeadows Leisure Centre.

Maybank (25 points) and Brown (20) were again dominant on the scoreboard.

Whittlesea Pacers lost both their state championship matches, against Corio Bay and Ringwood.

Top Dogs give challengers a hiding It may have been a battle between the top two teams on the ladder, but Mernda was no match for North Heidelberg in Northern Football League’s division 2 on Saturday.

The unbeaten Bulldogs flexed their muscles and showed they’re well ahead of the rest with a 100-point win against their nearest challengers, 25.8 (158) to 8.10 (58).

Demons coach Brett Wilson said it was a learning experience for his side.

“They had a lot of seasoned campaigners and we went in with a very young side,” he said.

“They had several players who have played division one and made us play into their hands. We didn’t stick to our structures.”

Wilson said he would look to take the positives out of the game.

“We exposed three 17-year-olds to playing against senior players,” he said. “Hopefully, the boys learn from it and today’s experience will be good for the longevity of the club and results in the future.”

Luke Shelton kicked three goals for the Demons.

“Les Adams and Luke up forward stood up for us,” Wilson said. “If not for them the defeat would have been a lot bigger.”

Wilson said the club would get a number of injured players back over the next three weeks.

“We were missing our key forward, a couple of key backs and some of our second-string midfielders,” he said.

“We’re yet to play with a full side on the park and I’m itching to see that happen.”

This week Mernda faces Lalor, which had a 30-point win against Epping at Epping Recreation Reserve.

Best on ground Scott Morrison kicked six for Lalor in the 15.11 (101) to 11.5(71) result, while Joshua Stavely kicked five for the Blues.

Thomastown suffered its first loss of the season in division 3, losing to Reservoir by 10 points.

The Bears left too much to do in the final quarter, giving up a 30-point lead at the last change. Despite kicking six goals to three in the final term they went down 14.17 (101) to 13.13 (91).

South Morang returned to the winners’ list with a 42-point win over Heidelberg West, 13.11 (89) to 7.5 (47).

Hume City threw away a perfect opportunity to qualify for the Football Federation Australia Cup, going down to State League 1 side South Springvale in the quarter-finals of the Dockerty Cup last Wednesday night.

National Premier League side City entered the game at Olympic Village as favourite but was comprehensively beaten 3-0.

City coach Louie Acevski said his side’s performance was embarrassing.

“We were completely outplayed and bullied on the field.

“South Springvale wanted it more than us.

‘‘[Our] players went out there and thought it was just going to happen and someone else would do it for them.

“I don’t know if we took them lightly as they are ranked lower than us, but from the outside it looks that way.”

City was on the back foot from the first 10 minutes, with an error by goalkeeper Evan Alexandrow-Ridley allowing Springvale to score an early goal.

“We still had 80 minutes to get that goal back,” Acevski said.

“But we didn’t end up doing it. It was a negative performance from the first minute.’’

The four cup semi-finalists automatically qualify for the FFA Cup, which will feature the top teams around Australia.

“We’ve had a very good fixture. Everything has been working our way,’’ Acevski said. ‘‘We didn’t have to face anyone from our competition [NPL]. We threw it away.”

City managed to bounce back with a win in the NPL on Sunday, defeating Northcote City 2-0.

In NPL 1, Springvale White Eagles were too strong for the Whittlesea Ranges, winning 5-2 on a soggy ground.

The Eagles made the most of their early chances, opening up a 2-0 lead.

Ranges got on the scoreboard just before half-time through Matthew Iuliano, but conceded a goal from the restart to be 3-1 down at the main break.

The Eagles scored their fourth goal in the first minute of the second half.

Whittlesea pulled back the margin with its second goal after a penalty in the 80th minute, but the Eagles put away a fifth goal in injury time.

‘Embarrassing’City out of cup

By Tara Murray

Calder Cannons’ seven-game winning streak came to an end at the hands of NSW/ACT Rams in the TAC Cup in Sydney on Saturday.

Compounding the Cannons’ bad weekend was a shoulder injury to star midfielder Touk Miller while playing for Vic Metro in the NAB under-18 national championships.

Playing interstate for the only time this season, the Cannons were beaten 15.13 (103) to 12.5 (77) by the more aggressive Rams.

The Cannons stay second on the ladder but are now four points behind Oakleigh Chargers.

Cannons coach Andrew Jago said there were no excuses.

“They were very good; they outworked and outplayed us,” he said.

“We had a few dramas, like the bus not turning up and having to catch taxis to the game, but that wasn’t the reason we lost.

Run ends as Cannons fall silent

“It will give us a chance to reassess where we are.”

Jago said the side’s defensive efforts let them down against the Rams.

“We needed to win more contested ball on the inside where we’re normally so good,” he said.

“They comprehensibly beat us in the uncontested ball as well.”

Jason said his talls – Jayden Foster with four goals, Mark Kovacevic with two and Reilly O’Brien – were the standouts.

As for Miller’s injury and whether he would miss games, Jago said that was still to be assessed.

Miller’s injury soured Vic Metro’s good win against South Australia on Saturday.

Metro shot to a 32-point lead in the final term before holding off South Australia, which kicked three of the last four goals, to win 10.12 (72) to 13.8 (86).

After missing the last Vic Metro game, Cannons big man Pete Wright was one of Metro’s best players with 29 hitouts, 16 disposals, 10 marks and three goals.

“I haven’t seen any footage yet, but from what I’ve heard Pete was really good,’’ Jago said.

“We’ve been very happy with the form of our boys playing for Metro.

“Paul A’Hern has played a couple of good games; Damien Cavka and Matt Goodyear have played well, as has Touk, and now Pete.”

The Northern Knights won their TAC Cup match, defeating Tasmania by 39 points at Preston City Oval on Saturday.

The Knights led at every change, winning three of the four quarters in their 13.14 (92) to 7.11 (53) victory. Bailey Jordan kicked three goals for the Knights, while Jayden Short was judged best on ground.

Both Cannons and Knights have a bye this weekend.
