An increasing number of outer northern suburbs residents are writing to their federal members of parliament expressing their support for legalisation of same-sex marriage.

Scullin MP Andrew Giles said his o�ce received “quite a few” emails last week from constituents wanting to voice their backing for marriage equality.

“Most people who raise the issue with me are supportive of same-sex marriage,” he said.

Federal Opposition leader Bill Shorten

‘We do’ to same-sex vowsintroduced a same-sex marriage bill last Monday referencing Gough Whitlam’s famous line, “It’s time.”

Mr Giles said he was looking forward to supporting the bill “to see all relationships recognised in the same way”.

Mr Giles became a federal MP in 2013, almost exactly a year a�er similar legislation was voted down.

McEwen MP Rob Mitchell said he supported marriage equality and would vote accordingly. He abstained from voting in 2012.

“I wanted to make sure that religious

institutions that don’t wish to marry same-sex couples don’t have to, and I didn’t want to see same-sex couples taking them to court for discrimination,” he said.

“But both of these concerns have been addressed in Bill Shorten’s bill.”

Neither Mr Mitchell nor Mr Giles identify themselves as religious people, but they said they respected those who don’t agree with same-sex marriage because of religious beliefs.

Mr Mitchell said his o�ce had received between 30 and 40 letters or emails from

McEwen constituents and most were in favour of marriage equality.

Calwell MP Maria Vamvakinou did not wish to speak about Mr Shorten’s bill but sent Star Weekly an ambiguous statement. Weekly an ambiguous statement. Weekly

“It is public knowledge I voted against gay marriage. I acknowledge the momentum for change has built signi�cantly since the last vote,” she wrote.

If Coalition MPs receive a free vote, advocacy group Australian Marriage Equality believes the vote count is one short of the 76 needed to get the bill through the lower house.

Lalor’s association with its namesake – activist-turned-politician Peter Lalor – is becoming increasingly tenuous.

And it’s all because of the confusing pronunciation of the Eureka Stockade leader’s family name.

Ballarat and District Genealogical Society’s Jennifer Burrell said the original pronunciation was ‘Law-ler’ – no emphasis on the second syllable – and probably said best with an Irish accent.

It was not pronounced ‘Lay-lor’, as most people prefer today, Ms Burrell said, emphatically.

Two of Lalor’s long-time residents, Honor Mackie and Dot Hodgson, say it’s only as a recent phenomenon that residents have mispronounced the suburb’s name. Mrs Hodgson doesn’t correct their slips of the tongue as “they’ll usually correct themselves”. But Mrs Mackie has less tolerance for the misdemeanour.

Peter Lalor entered Australian folklore when he led the Eureka Rebellion, an event often referred to as the birth of democracy in Australia. He was later elected to the Victorian Legislative Council. The federal electorate in Melbourne’s west named in his honour is still pronounced as it was originally.

Largely rural until the electri�cation of the Whittlesea railway line as far as Thomastown in 1921, Lalor only became more suburban in the late 1940s.

South Morang gets full-time �reysLeading �re�ghter Chris Gore, �re�ghter David Nightingale and station of�cer Adam Whitford. (Damjan Janevski)

For the �rst time, South Morang �re station has paid, full-time �re�ghters taking the pressure o� volunteers.

Country Fire Authority’s operations manager, Trevor Roberts, says the station now has three full-time �re�ghters based at South Morang during business hours. �e new arrangement began on Monday last week,

Volunteers will continue to respond to calls a�er hours.

Mr Roberts said the CFA had changed its response to cater for South Morang’s booming population. Latest Australian Bureau of Statistics �gures name the suburb as the

fastest-growing in the nation. “Over the past decade, we have seen a steep rise in population and an equivalent rise in numbers of incidents requiring CFA attendance, and this trend is expected to continue,” Mr Roberts said. “South Morang is a strong brigade and a busy brigade that has kept homes and families safe through dedication and commitment over many years.

“�is change is about taking some of the pressure o� volunteers and their families.”

�e “career �re�ghters” will work side by side with the South Morang brigade’s volunteer members. Former Sunbury �re�ghter Adam Whitford, one of the three career �re�ghters

to begin work at South Morang, said his �rst priority would be to familiarise himself with the area.

“Local knowledge will be indispensable,” he said. “We’ll be tapping into the brigade’s knowledge and community contacts and looking to pick up as much knowledge as we can as quickly as we can.”

�e �re station will transition to a 24-hour sta�ng model later this year.

�e CFA has 1200 brigades, but just 34 of them have paid, full-time sta�.

A man who blockaded his street with building materials and struck a truck driver with a fence picket has been denied victims of crime compensation for the second time.

Shannon Draper appeared before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal last month to appeal a Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal decision denying his application for more than $5400 in lost earnings.

�e Doreen resident considered himself a

victim of crime following an altercation he had with a truck driver on August 30, 2011.

Mr Draper told the tribunal he was fed up with trucks using his street as a thoroughfare to cart loads of dirt and building debris to a nearby development, and he decided to take matters into his own hands. He said trucks dropped debris on the road and le� it for residents to clean up. When complaints made to Whittlesea council, VicRoads and the police proved futile, he concocted a plan to teach truck drivers “a lesson”.

A northern suburbs man, who asked not to

be named, was the unsuspecting truck driver to cross Mr Draper’s path almost four years ago.

�e tribunal heard he was forced to get out of his truck because Mr Draper had placed building debris and timber o�-cuts across Sassafras Avenue. �e two men confronted each other and engaged in a heated argument before a �ght broke out.

During the �ght, Mr Draper sustained a broken nose, which later required 14 stitches. He alleged he was dealt a blow from behind.

Meanwhile, he hit the truck driver with a paling fence o�-cut, put him in a headlock and

No compo for �ght with drivertried to rip his ears o�, only to let him go once the truck driver promised never to come back.

VCAT senior member Jonathan Smithers said Mr Draper’s actions in seeking to teach the truck driver a lesson were “at the least, very ill advised and provocative”. “I �nd that, because of Mr Draper’s provocative conduct and his behaviour and attitude in relation to the incident, he should not receive an award of assistance,” Mr Smithers said.

�e truck driver told Star Weekly he had been unable to return to work due to mental health issues since the altercation.

Work on the $1.3 billion upgrade of the Tullamarine Freeway will start this year.

�e state government last week called for expressions of interest to build the airport end of the project from Bulla Road. Tender documents for the eight- kilometre section between the airport and Bulla Road are due to be advertised mid-year.

Meanwhile, works to widen the freeway between Power Street at Southbank and Bulla Road will start in October.

�e upgrade was �rst promised by former premier Denis Napthine and Prime Minister Tony Abbott in the run-up to last year’s state election.

Once work is completed, travel times between the city and the airport will be reduced by 16 minutes on average in the morning peak and 17 minutes in the evening peak, according to the state government.

�e freeway will be widened to six lanes and this part of the project will be delivered in two sections.

Leighton Contractors won the contract with Transurban to build the �rst section between Bulla Road and Power Street. VicRoads will manage the second section between the airport and Bulla Road.

Star Weekly asked Melbourne Airport chief executive Chris Woodru� last week whether the airport corporation would consider partially funding the Melbourne airport rail link, a project Mr Woodru� said in February had fallen o� the political agenda since the election.

�e question was, however, rebu�ed. “We understand the current priority is the Melbourne Metro Rail project,” an airport spokeswoman said.

Farmers will be able to claim the cost of fencing, water facilities and fodder storage assets when doing their next tax return.

Lobbying from farmers has successfully brought forward tax breaks �agged in the 2015-16 federal budget that were not due to start until the 2016-17 �nancial year, meaning farmers would not have received the bene�ts until their 2017 tax returns.

In a joint statement released late last month with the Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce

possible,” the statement read. “Our decision to bring forward the start date of accelerated depreciation for all farmers, regardless of the size of their farm, allows them to prepare for drought and invest in the productivity of their farms immediately.”

Beveridge cattle farmer Greg He�ernan

and Small Minister Business Bruce Bilson, Treasurer Joe Hockey announced that farmers could claim a tax deduction on all capital expenditure on water facilities, fodder storage and fencing incurred since the 2015 budget was handed down on May 12.

Farmers can fully deduct the cost of water facilities and fencing in the year they are purchased and deduct the cost of fodder storage assets over three years.

“Following broad consultation, stakeholders told us they wanted to get on with building fences, dams and fodder storage as soon as

said the tax concessions were welcome news. Mr He�ernan, president of the Better Beveridge Group, has about 200 head of poll hereford cattle on his property and spends about $2000 a year on fencing materials.

“Rather than taking 10 years to write o� the costs [of fencing] it would be good to do it in one,” Mr He�ernan said. “�is will help with capital expenditure in the short term.”

Farmers with annual turnover of less than $2 million qualify as small businesses and will therefore be eligible to write o� all assets purchased up to $20,000.

Lobbying wins farmers tax break‘‘ This will help with capital expenditure in the short term ’’ - Greg Heffernan

For two years, Maya Dove has been playing basketball in a loaned wheelchair.

A recent growth spurt has meant the chair is no longer comfortable or a suitable �t for the 15-year-old, who has been identi�ed as a potential future basketball champion by the Victorian Women’s Basketball Association.

But playing basketball is about to get a lot more comfortable for the Kinglake resident and Marymede Catholic College student.

Last �ursday, Foundation 97, which is dedicated to enhancing the lives of Victorians with spinal cord injuries by providing them with equipment that allows them to play sport or maintain better employment, gave Maya a wheelchair designed for basketball.

It was handed over by Foundation 97 managing director Noel Clarke in front of a packed school assembly.

“Specialised, modi�ed equipment for someone with a disability to participate in

activity regularly is very expensive,” he said. “Foundation 97 was developed to assist people like Maya to reach their full potential.”

Maya has lived with a spinal cord injury since birth. She said it was her Royal Melbourne Hospital occupational therapist, Erin Garner, who encouraged her to apply for a new chair.

“It will make a huge di�erence when playing because it has been speci�cally designed to provide more support when I’m on the court and improve my overall game,” she said.

“It provides more support, particularly back support, and has been custom-designed for my shape and build so it’s the perfect �t.”

�e year 10 student recently competed for the Kevin Coombs Cup, a week-long annual national basketball tournament held in Ballarat for Australia’s best junior wheelchair basketballers.

Regular visitors to Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation in Broadmeadows have expressed concerns about new security measures.

Serco, the �rm contracted to run the detention centre, recently advised visitors of a revised set of entry conditions.

�ey include �lling out an application form on the day of the visit and calling between 9am and 1pm the day before visiting to book in a speci�c time.

detainee visits into the community to temples and other religious venues, while pat-downs had been ramped up.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection said the new system was brought in to ensure the Broadmeadows detention centre’s rules were consistent with other immigration facilities around the country.

“�e conditions for visiting an immigration detention facility are frequently reviewed to ensure safety of visitors and detainees and to maintain the security of the centre,” she said.

Refugee advocate Patrick Walsh, who regularly visits detainees, labelled the new rules as punitive.

He said visitors had turned up on the day of their intended visit only to be turned away and told there was no record of their call or booking.

“One of my biggest concerns about these new rules is that we have to call between 9am and 1pm the day before, but the detainees don’t get their medical appointment times until 6pm the night before,” he said.

Mr Walsh said Serco has also limited

�e Refugee Action Collective held a vigil in protest against the new visitor restrictions on May 20 outside the Camp Road facility.

Mr Walsh said about 30 peaceful protesters attended despite the cold and rain, but he questioned whether it helped relay their message.

“It’s like hitting your head against the wall,” he said.

“Did Serco listen? Probably not.”�e department spokeswoman said there

had been 3139 visitors to the facility in the past three months.

Detainee visit rules ‘punitive’

David Turnbull will curl up in his sleeping bag in between rows of seats at Etihad Stadium, hoping for some shut-eye next �ursday night.

Just four days shy of the winter solstice, the Whittlesea council chief executive will be taking part in the 2015 Vinnies CEO Sleepout to get a glimpse of what life is like without a roof over your head.

He’ll be given some cardboard boxes to cushion his sleeping bag from the cold, concrete �oor and will get a ration from the soup kitchen before ‘lights out’.

�is will be his third time sleeping rough for the cause of homelessness, and he’s adamant no one needs to feel sorry for him.

“I’m in it to raise awareness of homelessness in the city of Whittlesea,” he stressed. “Our short-term housing stock is in chronic short supply.”

He said the last time he slept under the stars he had only about four hours’ sleep.

“You go to bed pretty hungry, but for one night it’s not a big deal.” He described the experience as upli�ing and spoke of the strong sense of camaraderie among participants.

Vinnies organises speakers to talk about the causes of homelessness and what life is like on the streets.

Last year, 120 business leaders took part in the Victorian challenge and raised more than $450,000. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the charity is hoping to raise $10 million nationally.

For a brief time each day, silence descends on three classrooms at Mill Park Secondary College.

During the past nine weeks, 135 middle- years students have taken part in a research project that asks them to meditate at least four times each week of second term to evaluate meditation’s e�ect on stress levels, productivity and mental health.

�e research is being conducted by Smiling Mind, a free, app-based meditation program for young people, and is the �rst such study of its kind and size conducted in Australia.

Middle-years principal Karen Eastlake said she had been eager to incorporate meditation into the classroom since she began mindful meditation using the app almost a year ago.

“I pitched [the research trial] at a sta� meeting and 95 per cent of the sta� were prepared to give up their free time to come to training sessions,” she said.

Two classes of years 7, 8 and 9 students are involved in the trial, alternating between being the control group and doing the mediation.

“In the �rst week, they couldn’t really close their eyes and get into it. Now they know what to do and are really enjoying it, particularly the year sevens,” Ms Eastlake said.

She hopes to expand the program to the rest of the school later in the year.

�e Mill Park college students are among 2000 across the state taking part in the trial.

Nine schools in Melbourne’s north have asked their year 11 students to take part in a driving program that teaches teenagers to avoid risky situations on the road.

�e Fit2Drive program, now in its 13th year, was revised and relaunched last year to engage more secondary schools, hone in on young people as passengers and link more with VCE.

Principals from Ilim College, Gladstone Park Secondary College, Lalor North Secondary College, Roxburgh College, Hume Central Secondary College, Sunbury College, Sirius College, Aitken College and Mt Ridley P-12 College have all signed up for a half-day with the Fit2Drive Foundation.

�e program teaches students aged 16 - 17 how to positively in�uence friends considering

drink-driving, speeding or driving dangerously. Ilim College will take part in the program

for the �rst time at a workshop on June 16. Vice-principal Suleyman Kor said about 80 year 11 students would attend.

“We want to raise awareness of the dangers and risks they’re taking when they get behind a steering wheel.”

Lalor North College’s student welfare o�cer, Tamara Howlett, signed the school up for the Fit2Drive program years ago. Her college now has senior students taking part in programs to reduce youth road trauma. “It’s a real eye opener for them when the police and ambulance present real-life case studies,” she said.

Ramadan brings peace to mind

Imam Mustafa Asmaci with son Talha at the Sunshine mosque before Ramadan. (Shawn Smits)

By Yasemin Talat

Peace and community spirit come to the fore for Muslims across Melbourne’s west and north as they prepare for the holy month of Ramadan.

Next week, Ramadan starts and for a month Muslims across the world will abstain from food and drink and refrain from gossip and other activities deemed unseemly, from dawn until dusk.

Sunshine mosque president Mustafa Ramadan said the month was signi�cant for Muslims as an opportunity to purify the soul, refocus attention on God and come together as a community.

�e mosque is run by the Cyprus Turkish Islamic Community, and Mr Ramadan said

the coming month gave Muslims the chance to express thanks for their good fortune and be more aware of the hardships of others.

“Some people around the world don’t have access to eating three meals a day or the luxury to eat whatever they want,” he said.

“Ramadan is a chance to experience what that might feel like and be thankful that we are fortunate to be here with these opportunities.”

He said each night Muslims came together with family and friends for the evening meal, known as i�ar, to end their daily fast.

“We always prepare i�ar dinners at the mosque and we try and have all the community together,” Mr Ramadan said. “Bringing people together and social interaction is … part of being a community.”

Mr Ramadan said the wider community would also be welcomed to the mosque for a special i�ar meal in coming weeks.

In the past, the Sunshine mosque has hosted guests from Victoria Police, government ministers and community leaders, both Muslim and non-Muslim, at its i�ars.

Eid celebrations to mark the end of Ramadan will be held at Sunshine mosque on the �rst Sunday of August.

“We want to live in peace with everybody,” Mr Ramadan said.

On a beautiful patch of land at Oaklands Valley, a vineyard was le� to wither about three years ago.

�e 45-hectare property on St Johns Road, Bulla, had been bought in 1982 by hand surgeon Dr Wayne Stott, who planted the vines and produced premium-quality reserve wines for 27 years under his Wildwood Vineyards label before succumbing to cancer last year.

His prized winery, which sits at an altitude of 130 metres – giving it views back to Port Phillip Bay and of the Melbourne skyline – closed in 2012. But it has since been revitalised by business partners E�e Dimitriou and Andrew Pattichis and �lm of its restoration will be beamed onto television screens across the state on July 5 during Channel 9’s Postcardsprogram.

Ms Dimitriou said the pair spent eight months tirelessly restoring the vines and cleaning up the 120-year-old homestead.

While they won’t be producing wine on site this year, they hope to do so with their 2016 harvest. �e pair still operate under the Wildwood Vineyards name and will continue to cultivate shiraz, chardonnay and pinot noir grapes. �ey plan to open a café for the public.

Former Hawthorn footballer Shane Crawford will host the Postcards segment and preview other tourism spots in the region as well.

Free whooping cough vaccines are now available for eligible parents. From June 1, all women more than 28 weeks’ pregnant, and their partners, and all parents and guardians of newborn babies under six months’ old, are eligible for free vaccination. The state government-funded program was reinstated this year in response to a spike in whooping cough cases. As of April 20, the number of whooping cough cases across all ages in Victoria was 1776, compared with 917 at the same time last year. The vaccine will be provided by GPs, maternity hospitals, obstetricians and councils. The free pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine also protects against diphtheria and tetanus. Both Whittlesea and Hume councils hold day and evening immunisation sessions at venues across the municipalities. Call your council to �nd out more.

EDUCATION NORTHERN.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU


John Dorge is living proof that the sky is the limit when you’re prepared to put in some hard work.

�e two-time Olympian grew up on a Queensland farm and did not

play basketball until high school. But a �erce determination to succeed at the highest level led him to play for three NBL sides and represent his country.

Now director of St Monica’s College Basketball Academy, John is using his experience to nurture a new generation of players, helping them to enjoy the game and reach their potential – whatever that might be.

“I want to take it as far as I can possibly take it,” he says. “My �rst goal is to make sure that the kids enjoy the time they have on a basketball court. It’s all about the kids.”

�e philosophy is already paying o�, with several school teams winning competitions since the respected player and coach arrived in 2012 following a long and colourful basketball journey.

John grew up the middle of nine children on a 485-hectare cattle farm outside the tiny town of Kaimkillenbun, about three hours’ drive west of Brisbane. His father, Kevin, and mother, Denise, who remain on a smaller version of the property, later introduced poultry.

�e family had no hot running water – they instead used a copper to boil it – until John was a teenager. But the property was self-su�cient and no one went without. Everyone pitched in and the children bucket-fed calves, milked cows, stoked the wood �res and ensured the wood box was always stacked.

Denise was also a brilliant cook. “Mum did her own baking of bread; she made her own ice cream, made her own butter,” John says.

John earnt pocket money by milking cows and selling milk in town. Sport was also a big focus and he played cricket a�er church on Sundays. “When you’re brought up in the country like we were and you come from a big family, sport’s just part of your family life,” he says.

John was tall for his age, but insists he was no better at sport than his siblings or the local kids. “I was just one of the guys,” he says.

“I’d have a go at everything; I wasn’t brilliant at anything.”

E�ort is the key to success in sport and school, writes Cheryl Critchley

A TALENT

FOR WORK

NORTHERN.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU EDUCATION


It wasn’t until John started high school at St Mary’s College, in nearby Dalby, that he started playing basketball. He represented his school a�er being introduced to the sport at a rural youth club.

John, who planned to work on the farm a�er �nishing school, was told by a state coach that he had the potential to represent Queensland. But his skills were raw and his father thought it was too hard to travel to regional games. “I had no natural skill to play the game whatsoever,” he says. “At the time I was just playing for the love of it.”

A�er working on his game, John played regional representative basketball and started coaching and refereeing. He le� school to work on the farm, but decided to concentrate on his sport.

When he was 21, in 1984, Brisbane Bullets coach Brian Kerle invited John to train with the then NBL team. It was a big move for a young man who had planned to spend his life on the land. “It was so intimidating,” he says. “I was going in completely raw.”

Brian spent many hours helping John hone his skills, before including him in the 1985 Bullets squad. “He started me for the �rst three or four games, but it wasn’t long before I was sitting down on the end of the bench serving my apprenticeship as a rookie,” John says.

By now the 210-centimetre centre had played for �ve years but had not been seriously coached. His footwork wasn’t up to scratch and he lacked a shooting technique, however he continued to build on his game while working part-time at a sports centre, water-park and poultry farm.

�e Bullets won two NBL titles while John was there. In 1990 he moved to the Geelong Supercats, where he spent two seasons before joining South East Melbourne Magic, where he played until 1998 and won two more NBL titles.

It was during this period that John really came into his own. While in Geelong he represented Australia in the 1990 FIBA World Basketball Championship in Argentina, where Australia’s Boomers �nished seventh. He also played against LA Lakers basketball legend Magic Johnson, who brought a team to Australia.

In 1992, John represented Australia at the Barcelona Olympics, where the Boomers �nished sixth. Four years later he competed in Atlanta, where Australia lost the bronze medal play-o� to Lithuania by six points. Both experiences were a dream come true. “If your goal is to reach the pinnacle of your sport … the Olympics is where you want to be,” he says. “I was happy with what I achieved.”

A�er retiring from Magic in 1998, John spent six months advising former teammate Chris Anstey in Chicago, where Chris played with the Chicago Bulls in the NBA. John then spent �ve years as an assistant to Cairns Taipans coach Guy Molloy, two years as assistant coach at the New Zealand Breakers and a year as head coach of Harbour Heat.

A�er �ve years managing a gym, John joined St Monica’s College as its Basketball Academy director in 2012. He continues to enhance the program, which encourages students of all abilities to enjoy the game and reach their potential.

John works with director of sport David Black, who oversees a range of sports programs run by experienced coaches. �ey include athletics, basketball, football, swimming, cross-country, futsal (�ve a side soccer), golf, Australian rules, netball, tennis, cricket and volleyball. As well as the Basketball Academy, St Monica’s has a Football (soccer) Excellence Program,

Australian Rules Football Development Squad and a Hockey Institute.

While students of all abilities are encouraged, St Monica’s has produced state and national representatives and participants in the Football Federation Victoria Elite Athletes Program and Melbourne Victory and Melbourne Heart National Youth League squads.

Internally, the school has a strong house competition, lunch-time competitions as well as athletics, swimming and cross- country carnivals.

John organises basketball teams in a range of competitions for varied skill levels, as well as teacher versus students games, three-point shoot-outs and three-on-three competitions. School teams have had recent success in the Sports Association of Catholic Co-educational Secondary Schools Premier League, where several age groups have won titles in their division.

St Monica’s enters teams in Basketball Victoria’s McDonald’s Cup and plays “friendlies” against other schools that have basketball programs, such as Box Hill Senior Secondary College and Templestowe College. John also enjoys a good relationship with Melbourne-based NBL and WNBL teams.

�e Basketball Academy has about 120 students and John wants to increase this number. As a father to Mia, who turns 14 this month and prefers horse riding, he loves helping young people to achieve their goals, whatever they may be.

“I give them as much opportunity as I possibly can,” he says. “I hope one day that I

have 240 kids coming through here. �e more kids that I can have coming in, the better for the programs and the better for the students. It’s all about the students.”

John takes a group of year 8 students to the Australian Institute of Sport each year, where they attend a camp hosted by AIS athletes and learn about what it takes to reach the next level. Over Easter he also took a boys’ and girls’ team to an under-17 tournament in New Zealand. �e boys were undefeated and won their section, while the girls won �ve out of seven games to �nish ��h.

He is aiming high, but John is conscious that not everyone is a Magic Johnson. He tells his students that hard work is more important than raw skill. It doesn’t matter how naturally skilled you are, if you don’t do the work you won’t reach your goals.

Respect for parents, coaches and referees is also important.

“�ey’ve got to have discipline to be able to succeed,” he says. “�ey’ve got to have respect for their team mates and everybody else they play. [And] they’ve got to enjoy it no matter what level of player they are.”

John insists everyone has potential and can realise it if they devote the time and the e�ort, like he did.

“I’m not blessed with a lot of athleticism,” he says. “I’ve had to get where I’ve got through a lot of hard work.”

Jacana knows it needs to work on its consistency to be in the mix come �nals time in Essendon District Football League’s division 2.

Now ��h on the ladder, the Jaguars at times have gone missing in games, and it’s cost them.

�e sides north on the ladder have made the Jaguars pay dearly – they have been on the end of some heavy defeats and coach Aaron Collins says the players know they need to be better for longer.

“It’s frustrating that we can’t play good football for four quarters. We can do it for a couple of quarters,” Collins said.

“Our best game for the year was against Roxburgh Park when we played as we had in training.”

On Saturday, it wasn’t a pretty game but the Jaguars took the points from East Sunbury.

Collins, in fact, described the 7.11 (53)-4.8 (32) win as “ugly”.

“We weren’t very happy from start to �nish,” he said.

“We weren’t clean with the ball. �ey scrapped it out and made it a very contested game.

“I thought we would get them on the outside run, but that worked in their favour.

“We put a man behind the ball in the third quarter.”

Beau Naim was named best on �eld. “He’s enjoying his footy and has taken on a

leadership role,” Collins said.“He said that as part of the deal when

Naim came back to the club was his wish to be a leader.

“We have dual captains and he’s loving having the captaincy.

“He’s heavily tagged every week and I don’t think he has been beaten.”

Collins said the club believed it had a role to play in �nals.

“We’re very disappointed as we wanted to be at least second or third,” he said.

“A�er the �rst seven rounds, we wanted to be 5-2, so as a side, as a whole, we are disappointed with where we are.”

He said �nding di�erent avenues to goal was one thing players needed to work on.

“We need to kick more goals,” he said. “�e last few weeks, we’ve been leaking goals, so we need to tighten that up.”

In the only other EDFL game at the weekend, Avondale Heights defeated Airport West in premier division.

Everyone wanting your players is one of the costs of success, as Plenty Valley is discovering.

Fresh from winning the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association north- west premiership, the club has managed to keep most of its list together.

President Darren Callahan said it had been a challenge.

“A lot of players were approached – that’s what happens when you are successful,” he said.

Callahan said Kamalesh Murugsan had, as expected, returned to Sri Lanka while Ben Dennett is likely to retire but may still play some cricket for the club.

Lorenzo Ingram has joined Victorian Turf Cricket Association club Moonee Valley.

Callahan said the club had players ready to step straight into the �rst XI from the seconds, who also won a premiership in 2014-15.

“A lot of guys pushing up are ready for the �rst XI,” he said.

“We always look to have about 18 guys who can play in the �rsts.

“When you take out injuries and players unavailable, there’s normally four or �ve are playing in the twos each week putting pressure on.”

�e club is looking at adding more players to the squad.

Englishman Will Wright, a highly rated 18-year-old top-order batsman, has signed.

Callahan said the change of captaincy had gone smoothly, with Michael Sheedy standing down but remaining as coach and Brad Mitchell becoming skipper..

“Brad is a good leader and we still have Sheeds around,” Callahan said. “It’s a good progression. We are always planning for the future and Michael has a real focus on coaching”.

On the women’s side of things, the club is looking at a di�erent coaching set up for its Premier Cricket side, with Andrew Walton no longer at the club.

“We’re going for a di�erent structure, having four or �ve people involved with the coaching, spreading the workload – we think it will work better,” Callahan said. “We can have someone with the �rst XI and a few people working with the juniors.”

�e club is set to have a female English import and is looking to add a little more experience to the women’s side.

“If we can recruit a couple of experienced girls to help out Kirsty [Lamb] and the others it would be good,” Callahan added.

Valley rises to challenges

Bulls hang on, just, but give Tuesday practice the �ick Bundoora is making a habit of winning close games, grabbing three win by 13 points or less in three weeks.

In Northern Football League’s sole division 1 match for the weekend, against Montmorency on Saturday, the Bulls came from behind in the last quarter to win a thriller 14.8 (92)-13.13 (91).

Missing star ruckman Matthew Dennis, who played with Vic Metro against a Queensland representative team, the Bulls were on the back foot early in the �rst quarter but hit the front by half-time. At three-quarter time, they led by two points.

Bulls football manager Daryl Richards said

the players didn’t drop their heads when they fell behind in the last quarter.

“�ey [Montmorency] were nine points up with minutes to go,” he said. “�e boys held �rm and kicked two goals in the �nal �ve minutes.

“It was a 30-minute quarter and the players, to their credit held, their nerve.”

Josh Grabowski kicked four goals for the Bulls in a best-on-ground performance and Gary Moorcro� kicked three.

Richards had praise for a couple of other players.

“With no Matty Dennis, Jordan Galea did

the ruck work,” he said. “You can’t replace a player like Matt, but Jordan acquitted himself well and competed strongly.

“For me, Ben Shelton was one of our best. His �st spoiling was brilliant and he nulli�ed their full-forward, who kicked only three goals.”

�e Bulls are ��h on the ladder but have played one more game than the teams around them on the ladder.

�ey will be boosted by returning players in coming weeks.

“Matty Dennis will come back in,” Richards said. “Luke Simpson and Josh Saunders will

hopefully be back for our next game, so we’re starting to get to full strength.”

Richards said there was a good feeling around the club ahead of this weekend’s bye.

“It’s probably the best we’ve had for a while,” he said. “�e new players are starting to mould into the group.

“We’re having a night o� training on Tuesday night and going to the movies.

“Sometimes you have trouble getting people to these things, but we’ve had to book out half the cinema.”

A new coach and the injection of new players has given Hume United a much-needed boost in FFV State League 2 north-west.

�e coach was sacked a�er six consecutive losses and Tolga Cetin was appointed to the job last month.

A new committee was put in place, the club added a couple of extra players and now it’s a new-look team.

Cetin said the past month had been strange, complicated and exciting.

“I got a whole new team . . . everyone is brand new,” he said.

“�ere’s unbelievable talent in the side and they just have to get used to all playing together.

“�ey’re doing really well for a team that didn’t have a pre-season.”

Cetin said the change of line-up started with the promotion of some players from the reserves.

“I looked at our under-21s and spotted three or four players who should have been with our senior squad,” he said.

“We gave them a chance to perform and that helped attract other players to the club.

“�eir friends wanted to come and play. �ey’re an unbelievably talented, skilful young bunch.”

Cetin said results hadn’t shown the full story in the past month.

United beat Heidelberg Stars 2-0 on Saturday but has been unlucky in a few other matches.

“We’re not entirely out of the relegation zone,” Cetin said.

“Once we get con�dence we can move completely out of the zone and sit in the middle of the table.”

Cetin said the club had set plans for the next few years.

“We have a large supporter base but it started to fall o�,” he said. “Now they’re slowly coming back and we want to build on that.

“Our plan is to avoid relegation and to playing for the championship next season. Gaining promotion will make things easier for the club.”

In the same division, Sporting Whittlesea had a 3-0 win against Melbourne University to retain second spot on the ladder.

In state league 3 north-west, Up�eld lost Hoppers Crossing 2-1, while Lalor United lost 1-0 to Altona City.

Whittlesea United drew 2-2 with Darebin United.

In state league 4 north, Plenty Valley Lions’ game was called o� because of a heavy pitch, while Epping City had an 8-0 win over Meadow Park.

New coach, new look lift United

By Tara Murray

Hume City will use last year’s FFA Cup disappointment as motivation in its drive to make the nationwide round of 32 of this year’s competition.

City is through to the seventh and �nal stage of the Victorian qualifying stages and another victory will take the side a step further then last year when it was knocked out of the tournament by South Springvale.

City coach Louie Acevski said the players didn’t realise what they would be missing out on until a�er they were eliminated.

“You don’t know what you’ve lost until you have lost it,” he said.

“�e boys didn’t realise the opportunities and publicity that came with getting to the next stage. Once that happened, we said if we had the opportunity again we’d take it.”

Cup pain drives HumeDaniel Clark scored one of Hume City’s goals in its FFA Cup win against Ballarat Reds. (Shawn Smits)

City won through to the seventh round with a 2-1 victory over Ballarat Reds on Saturday.

“It was a very tough game and it was a tough week with three games in seven days,” Acevski said. “�e boys were fantastic. We scored �rst and they equalised just before half-time through an own goal.

“We didn’t play to the best of our ability in the �rst half; as a team we were making basic errors.”

City was a di�erent team in the second half, grabbing the winning goal in the 66th minute.

“Wins in this competition don’t come on a platter,” Acevski said.

“I thought we were the better team in the second half … we didn’t take our chances to put the game away. �e last �ve minutes they were pressing, but we held strong.”

City drew its midweek National Premier League catch-up game with Oakleigh 1-1.

“It was a game of two halves,” Acevski said. “We were better in the �rst but could only get one goal, which we knew wouldn’t be enough.

“�ey were better in the second half and we fell asleep for 10 to 15 seconds when they scored with a long bomb late in the game.

“�ree points away from home would have been massive.”

City is ��h on the ladder.In NPL 1, Whittlesea Ranges’ hot form

continued with a 4-0 win over Sunshine George Cross.

�e Ranges led 2-0 at half-time and doubled that lead in the second half.

�e Ranges are fourth on the NPL 1 west ladder, �ve points behind leaders Moreland Zebras.

Young guns stand tall as Lions keep on roaring�e older, more experienced players have been the standouts for South Morang this season, but it was the youngsters who provided the spark on Saturday.

With only one loss in the Northern Football League division 3 season, the top-of-the-table Lions are getting used to being the hunted and they continue to stand up to the pressure.

On Saturday, a dominant second quarter set up the 15.9 (99)-10.14 (74) win against Reservoir.

Football manager Mark Muscat said the �nal score wasn’t re�ective of the match.

“�e game was probably closer than the four goals,” he said. “Both sides had the same

number of scoring shots, but we kicked better so that was the di�erence. It was the second term which set up the win.”

While eight goals to two in that quarter did help the Lions’ cause, it was a di�erent story in the third when South Morang was held scoreless.

“�ey came out [a�er half-time] and played pressure football,” Muscat said. “�eir clearance work was good and we struggled to match it with them..”

Eleven Lions players got on the scoreboard with three kicking two goals each.

Muscat said young guns Aaron D’Angelo, Mathew Robinson, Daniel Watson and

Mitchell Hicks stood up for the Lions. South Morang goes into this weekend’s bye sitting two games clear of Watsonia and Epping.

“If you’d said we’d be top of the ladder going into the bye we’d have been very happy,” Muscat said.

He said his side would likely be at full strength for its next game, against Epping – the

only team that has beaten them this season. “We have been lucky with injuries,” Muscat said.

“Hopefully we will have Mitch Buckley and Jake Potter back from injury. It will just strengthen us more.”

�ere was one interested onlooker at the game on Saturday: young gun Jade Gresham.

Gresham, a South Morang junior, is the Northern Knights’ captain and has been one of the standouts for Vic Metro in the under-18 national carnival.

“�e club is so proud of what he has achieved,” Muscat said.

Despite only one loss – and that by only two points – in the �rst half of the Big V women’s basketball state championship season, Hume City Broncos aren’t resting on their laurels.

�e two-time reigning premiers sit second on the ladder a�er a competition bye last weekend; they’re equal with Ringwood, having both lost a game each.

Assistant coach Warren Taylor said his side had been a little up and down in the �rst part of the season.

He said the loss to Waverley was the catalyst for a form turnaround.

“We lost in the last minute of the game on a bad call, and it was acknowledged as a bad call, but we should have been 10-15 points up,” Taylor said.

“It would have been nice to be undefeated, but sometimes you need losses like that as we weren’t playing the best basketball.

“It’s easier to stress and emphasise what the errors are when you’re not playing well.”

Taylor said the side had worked hard to �x those areas and had won the �ve games since the loss to Waverley.

“We thought our rebounding and o�ensive boards could have been better.

“For a side with Colleen [Planeta] and Viv [Vivien Saad], we were not at the level where we wanted to be.

“We were giving up points in places we weren’t happy with.

“It was nothing drastic, just something we need to �x if we are going to continue to improve.”

He said three-point shooting was another area players had been struggling with.

“You can’t sit on your laurels and you have to keep pushing to improve in all areas. Credit to the girls, it has been �xed.”

Star centre Planeta continues to lead the side, averaging more than 23 points a game.

Taylor said, despite putting up high numbers, Planeta saw herself as being in a form slump.

He said he had coached only one other player who was as hard on themselves: current Broncos’ coach Katrina Hibbert. “�ey work well together,” Taylor said.

�e Broncos have a mixed run home, including matches against top-three sides Ringwood and Waverley, as well as clashes with some of the lower teams.

“When you play sides towards the bottom of the ladder, like Sherbrooke and Diamond Valley, you have to be careful every time,” Taylor said.

“We’re yet to play either Sherbrooke or Diamond Valley and have to play both sides twice in the last 10 rounds.

“We haven’t won against Diamond Valley at their home court in the past two years and it’s an absolute bugbear.”

Broadmeadows wheels out 3x3 basketball ambitionsBroadmeadows Basketball Association is hoping a 3x3 wheelchair basketball tournament will lead to the growth of the game’s programs in the area.

�ere is no wheelchair basketball in Melbourne’s north, with those wanting to get involved having to travel across the city or to Geelong.

�e association will host Victoria’s very �rst 3x3 wheelchair tournament on June 21.

Broadmeadows operations manager Craig Campbell said the association was thrilled to be able to host the Basketball Victoria tournament.

Campbell coaches the Kilsyth Cobras in the Men’s National Wheelchair Basketball League.

“Campbell Message, who plays in my team, asked whether there was anything we could do at Broadmeadows,” Campbell.

“We have 10 wheelchairs at the stadium from Basketball Victoria to use for things like this.

We’re doing something here to showcase a sport that doesn’t get a lot of coverage.”

Campbell said the association was looking at getting more court space to allow Broadmeadows to look at setting up a program.

�e association already entertains under-25 Australian team training sessions at its venue.

“In our junior program, we have parents who are in wheelchairs,” said Campbell, adding he o�en �elded phone calls from people wanting to be involved in wheelchair basketball but not wanting to travel too far.

“As soon as we have more court space we will look at having more programs for everyone, including wheelchair basketball,” he said.

Basketball Victoria inclusion o�cer Alice Hammond said she didn’t think a tournament like this had been held in Australia.

“We’re trying to develop more opportunities

to participate,” Hammond said. “We have programs across Victoria but not a lot of tournaments that people can play. You don’t need as many players in this format.

“Able-bodied people can play as well. Being played in divisions means mums and dads can play with their children.

“Division 2 is for anyone who wants to have a go. You don’t have to have played before. You can enter as a team or as individuals.

“�ere are only three people in a team, and we’re hoping to get some teams and players from regional areas.”

Greensborough may have lost on Wednesday night to top side Doncaster, but the women’s premier league hockey side continues to improve.

A�er losing their opening two games of the season, the Burras picked up points in their next �ve encounters with four wins and a draw.

With their run coming to an end on Wednesday with a 1-0 loss to Doncaster, they now sit at sixth spot.

Speaking before Wednesday night’s game, coach Greg Pickford said the recent results were a very good indication of the season to date and new structures had been put in place following the early losses.

“�e season is going well,” Pickford said.

“�e girls have adapted; it’s not a massive change.

“We had played the same structure for the past �ve years. Some players are playing di�erent positions than they are used to.”

Pickford said there had been an overall improvement.

“Everyone in the squad has really stepped up.

“We had a couple of hiccups with a couple of girls injured.

“But credit to the youngsters who we’ve tried to introduce into the system – they have stood up and been very accountable.”

He said the women’s reserves side had already improved on its results of last year.

“�ey are doing really well and are having a lot more success,” he said.

“�ey have the inconvenience of losing players when we have injuries, but both sides have done really well.”

Pickford said he was expecting to have a full side available in coming weeks, something that had not been the case since early in the season.

“�e main aim is to maintain the level we’ve been playing at, and hopefully we should get some more wins,” he said.

Meanwhile, the men’s team has secured two wins in a row, the latest 4-3 over MCC.

�e men have moved up to fourth on the ladder, two points behind the top team.
