Cheers to an aloha adventure

By Matt Crossman and Laura Michell

Hume council should not become obsessed with paying o� debt at the expense of funding necessary projects, according to Cr Adem Atmaca.

�e former mayor said that while he praised the council’s e�orts in reducing a borrowings debt of almost $28 million to just $1.8 million, he didn’t want it to limit investment in the fast-growing municipality’s future.

“It’s good to be debt-free, but at what consequence?’’ Cr Atmaca said. “I wouldn’t like this to be used as an excuse in the future, when projects come up, to say we can’t a�ord it.”

�e council’s $218.88 million dra� budget for 2016-17, which proposes an average rates increase of 2.5 per cent in line with the state government cap, was released to the public at a meeting at Sunbury Civic Centre on May 9.

A total of $74.10 million has been slated for new infrastructure, including $19 million to complete Craigieburn Park and $3 million for the Broadmeadows Town Hall redevelopment.

�e council also plans to acquire land for more carparking in Broadmeadows CBD at a cost of $3.2 million, and it will improve parking and tra�c �ow in suburbs such as Roxburgh Park by creating indented parking bays in narrow streets.

�e funding is in response to community concerns about parking.

Work will also start on a Meadowlink walking and cycling path from Seabrook Reserve to the centre of Broadmeadows, at a cost of $2.2 million.

�e average household will pay about $45 extra in rates this year. But as this is

a revaluation year, the degree of change will vary.

Cr Atmaca said inequality would continue to be an issue.

“People are telling me their rates are higher than other municipalities based on their land value,” he said.

“We really have to address that. We’ve got some of the poorest people in our community and are paying rates similar to areas with some of Australia’s highest values. �at needs to be looked at.”

Cr Geo� Porter said he was happy to support a budget and council plan that “created a strong legacy for future generations”.

“To me, the best news is Hume, debt free. What a great news story for this community to know,” he said.

Cr Casey Nunn welcomed the continuation of a “budget build bonanza” in Aitken ward, which covers Craigieburn, Greenvale, Mickleham, Roxburgh Park and Campbell�eld.

She said close to $100 million had been invested in the past four years.

Mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou said the budget included the most ambitious capital works program seen in her eight years on the council.

“We want to deliver facilities and services as [the community] needs them, not 50 years down the track,” she said. “�is is the Hume story for 2016-17 – huge investments in services and community facilities, combined with a low rates increase, a budget in surplus and virtually no debt.”

Epping has been named as one of Melbourne’s top growth suburbs a�er median house prices rose almost 11 per cent in the �rst three months of the year.

Latest data from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria shows that the median house price rose from $411,000 in December 2015 to $455,250 (10.8 per cent) in March.

Only Malvern recorded a greater increase in house prices (13.7 per cent).

�e institute also listed Mill Park and Doreen as being among Melbourne’s top 10 growth suburbs. Median house prices in

Mill Park rose 8.2 per cent from $495,000 in December to $536,000 in March. In Doreen, median prices rose from $475.000 in December to $511,000 in March (7.6 per cent).

Barry Plant Epping sales manager Frank Romeo was not surprised by the increase in Epping prices, believing the suburb was playing “a catch-up game” with surrounding suburbs such as Mill Park, �omastown and Lalor.

He expects prices in Epping will continue to rise this year as more buyers turn their attention to the suburb.

Mr Romeo said Melbourne Market, which

suburbs such as Epping were presenting buyers with value.

“Twelve of the top 20 growth suburbs were in outer Melbourne,” he said. “�is signals continuing buying demand as home buyers look for value further from the CBD.”

Meanwhile, Craigieburn and Mernda have been listed among Melbourne’s most a�ordable suburbs, with both recording a drop in prices in the �rst three months of the year.

In Craigieburn, median prices fell0.7 per cent from $420,000 in December to $417,000 in March, while Mernda experienced a drop of 5.1 per cent to $427,000.

A waste to energy facility under construction in Wollert will convert 100 tonnes of organic food waste a day into electricity from next year.

Yarra Valley Water is building the facility next to its treatment plant at Wollert, near the Hume Freeway.

Work on the $27 million facility began last October and is expected to be completed in August.

However, the facility won’t be commissioned and fully operational until March.

Manager Damien Bassett said that once it was fully operational, the facility would be able to produce one kilowatt of electricity per hour.

Energy generated will be used to power the treatement plant, with excess energy returned to the electricity grid.

Mr Basset said the facility would use liquid and solid food waste generated during manufacturing processes at commercial food businesses, as well liquids such as fats and oils from restaurants.

He said the facility would reduce the burden on local land�lls as it was expected to divert 33,000 tonnes of waste per year.

Construction of the treatment plan, which will be the �rst of its kind in Victoria, has created 18 jobs, while a further four jobs will be created once it is operational.

Half of elective surgery patients at the Northern Hospital are waiting more than 72 days for their operations, new state government data reveals.

�e Victorian Health Services Performance Report for the March quarter shows that the Report for the March quarter shows that the Reportmedian treatment time for elective surgery at the hospital has increased 26 days, from a 46-day wait in March 2015.

�e waiting time is above the state average of 34 days for the March 2016 quarter.

manner. �e hospital also recorded an increase in demand for emergency services in the 12 months to March, with 21,556 people attending its emergency department, up from 19,560.

However, median treatment times in the emergency department decreased from 22 minutes in March 2015, to 18 minutes in March this year.

�e spokeswoman said Northern Health was forming partnerships with other health services, including the Kilmore and District Hospital and Austin Health, to manage regional demand on health services.

�e hospital also recorded increases in waiting times for ear, nose and throat surgery, general surgery and orthopedic surgery.

�e report shows that the number of patients on the elective surgery waiting list increased from 1999 in March 2015 to 2289 in March this year.

A spokeswoman for Northern Health said a $17.3 million expansion of the elective surgery centre at Broadmeadows Health Service would help reduce waiting times at the hospital.

It is anticipated that the centre will help ensure 2500 people receive surgery in a timely

“Northern Health provides health care to a culturally diverse and rapidly growing community. Our primary and secondary catchment encompasses over 555,000 people, which is expected to grow by an additional 86,000 people over the next �ve years,” she said.

“Northern Health is developing a range of programs and services to improve the quality and responsiveness of our services, including within the emergency department.

“�is includes establishing a new observation and assessment unit within the Northern Hospital.”

Growing pains for health care

A �omastown company is on a mission to help address the emotional battles soldiers are facing away from the frontline.

Uniform manufacturer Australian Defence Apparel (ADA) will add tags with the contact details for not-for-pro�t organisation Soldier On to more than 500,000 defence force uniforms in an e�ort to improve accessibility to mental health services.

�e partnership between ADA and Soldier On follows a 2015 Senate inquiry into the mental health of defence force personnel, which found that soldiers had been sidelined – or even lost their jobs – a�er �agging mental health problems.

ADA chief executive Matt Graham said it was hoped the partnership with Soldier On would help reduce the stigma of mental illness in the army.

“ADF personnel will now learn about the free, tailored mental health services available

to them, right from the �rst time they pull on their army gear,” he said.

“�ese tags are one way the ADF is saying it’s OK for soldiers to ask for help.

“It also shows the ADF is responding to the prevalence of mental illnesses among its personnel, and that there are services nationwide, provided by Solider On, to help those su�ering.”

Soldier On chief executive John Bale said tags would help spread the word about the organisation’s programs, which include art classes, co�ee catch-ups and social events for acting service people and veterans.

“�ese types of activities have been proven to improve the rehabilitation of those a�ected by their service and are the �rst step toward improving the support o�ered to our veterans and their families,” he said.

Residents of Melbourne’s northern suburbs are being urged to pull on their runners to help raise money for paediatric services at Northern Health.

�e Northern Health Foundation’s annual community fun run is on this Sunday, with participants completing three-kilometre or six-kilometre walks or runs from the Northern Hospital.

Northern Health acting chief executive Jenni Smith said money raised this year would be used to buy life-saving medical equipment for the hospital’s paediatric services.

She said Northern Health hoped to raise $35,000 thanks to the 1000 people expected to take part in the fun run.

Among this year’s participants will be Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) healthy lifestyle and tobacco cessation regional co-ordinator Laura �ompson. She has taken part in the fun run for the past three years, and

will be joined by members of her family on Sunday.

She said the fun run was important to VAHS because more than 50 Aboriginal babies were born at the Northern Hospital each year.

“�e City of Whittlesea has one of the largest Aboriginal populations in Victoria,” she said.

“Getting involved with the Northern Health Community Fun Run is a great opportunity to support our health service.

“It’s a great opportunity to give back to your local community … and have fun, spend time with your family and feel great – not only because you’re being active, but because you’re also helping a great cause.”

Young people living in Broadmeadows who have been “le� behind” will get more help accessing vocational training and employment as part of a new state government program.

�e $20 million Reconnect Program will help 48 organisations across the state to support young people who le� school early or who are long-term unemployed prepare for training and work.

Locally, the program will be run by AMES Australia, which received $363,000 to help it

Participants in the Reconnect Program will be paired with a volunteer mentor who shares a similar cultural background and language to help them achieve their training and work goals.

Training and Skills Minister Steve Herbert, who launched the program at AMES in Dallas earlier this month, said it was about ensuring no one missed out on the opportunity to get a quality job.

“O�en young people lack the con�dence and skills to get into formal training. �is extra funding will make sure there is support in

“We’re helping early school leavers take a step forward to get back into training, education and into a job.”

AMES chief executive Catherine Scarth said she believed the program would help young people who had disengaged from the system and had been le� behind.

“We believe this program will help young people who are struggling to engage with education and work get back on to a pathway,” she said.

Mill Park Secondary College’s ageing buildings will be freshened up, with the school receiving $1.5 million in maintenance funding from the state government.

�e money will be used to update buildings at the school’s two campuses – at Moorehead Drive, Mill Park, and Civic Drive in Epping. �e buildings are more than 20 years old.

�e money was awarded as part of last month’s state budget.

Principal Trish Horner said the money would enable the school to paint ageing classrooms, replace carpets in high-volume areas and �x roof leaks.

Work will be done on the Moorehead Drive campus to redesign the sta� room and replace rotten wooden windows.

�e work is expected to be �nished early next year.

Ms Horner said the money would allow the school to divert its own maintenance funds to other projects.

Mill Park MP Lily D’Ambrosio said the funding would help provide a safe and e�cient learning environment for students and teachers.

“�e Andrews Labor government has committed to making Victoria the education state,” she said. “Central to this is ensuring families have access to high-quality schools. I am proud to see Mill Park Secondary College take this important next step in rebuilding the school facilities.”

Jimmy Baker didn’t feel like he had any independence before moving into his specially designed unit in Glenroy last month.

Mr Baker was le� with an acquired brain injury a�er his bicycle was hit by a speeding car in September 2002.

While he doesn’t remember the accident, Mr Baker has been told he had to be revived a number of times and was in a coma.

As a result of the accident, he su�ers from amnesia. He is also partially deaf in his right ear as well as being partially blind.

Because of his disabilities, Mr Baker lived at home with his parents.

But he gained the con�dence to move out a�er securing supported accommodation through the residential indpendence project.

�e recently completed project provides four Transport Accident Commission clients with serious chronic and mental and physical disabilities a chance to move out of their family home or a care home and live independently.

�e units have been specially designed by architects Hayball to meet the needs of each resident.

A ��h unit has been built to house support sta�, who are on hand to help Mr Baker with tasks such as meal preparation, as well as reminding of everyday tasks that need to be completed.

Mr Baker, who is studying an aged care course at Melbourne Polytechnic in Preston, said moving into the unit had given him freedom.

“I needed to be independent,” he said.“�is has given me a chance to live in a

house that is not interrupted by anyone else. It’s somewhere I can live by myself with the support I need close by.”

Residents of Melbourne’s northern suburbs are being urged to give generously to this year’s Red Shield Appeal.

Volunteers from the Craigieburn Salvation Army will be collecting money at shopping centres across Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park and Greenvale, and rattling tins at many of the area’s major intersections on May 28-29.

�e appeal is the Salvation Army’s major fundraiser.

Money collected during the appeal goes towards the Salvation Army’s welfare programs.

“It is not just people who are unemployed who are seeking help, but people who are under employed, looking for housing or have had a relationship breakdown.

“We are in a growth area so generally we are going to see an increase in people needing our services. We know �ne well the social issues aren’t going away.”

�e Craigieburn Corps provide support to people living in the area between Broadmeadows and Craigieburn.

“�e Red Shield Appeal allows us to support more people locally,” Captain Brookshaw said.

Seda Eravsar has always been adventurous. So when a friend suggested she abseil down a 27-storey building two years ago to raise money for charity, she jumped at the opportunity.

�e Roxburgh Park resident (pictured) will show o� her adventurous side again later this month, when she abseils down Melbourne’s St James Building to raise money for Anglicare Victoria.

Ms Eravsar said signing up for Altitude Shi� for a second time was an obvious choice because it combined her love of adventure with her passion for helping children.

Money raised from the May 27-28 event will help Anglicare Victoria provide support for vulnerable children. Ms Eravsar initially set a fundraising goal of $850, which she has surpassed. She is now hoping to raise $2000.

How long have you lived in Mernda and what brought you to the area?

I’ve been living here for four years. Prior to that I lived in South Morang for nearly six years. What attracted me to Mernda was the newness of the suburb and the many open spaces and parks, which suited my young family.

How long have you been involved with the Mernda and District Residents Association and why?

I’ve been involved with MADRA since the day I moved to Mernda. �e �rst two years I was a committee member and for the past two years I’ve been serving as president. I’m a strong believer in contributing to the community I live in, and MADRA is an organisation that’s into community building with the various activities we undertake, be it the Mernda Town Fair, Mernda Carols or assisting with the Diwali Festival and a number of other community- building activities.

Are you involved in any other community groups?

Besides MADRA, I’m involved with a number of other community groups. I’m the founding president of the Mernda and Doreen Multicultural Association, and I’m on the committee of the Whittlesea Neighbourhood Watch, the founding chairman of the Mernda

MY PLACEMernda’s Tom Joseph is passionate about his local community. As president of the Mernda and District Residents Association, he’s continually advocating for better infrastructure and services for Mernda. He talks with Laura Michell.

Diwali Festival committee, and chairman of the combined social committee of the Catholic Schools and Parish of Mernda, Doreen, Whittlesea and Kinglake. I’m also involved with a number of advocacy [groups] as the spokesman for Mernda Needs a Police Station, Build E6 – �e Freeway for the North, and Stop Expanding the Wollert Tip – Save the Schultz Farm campaigns.

What do you love about your community?

I love being part of a new community that provides endless possibilities for us residents to play a part in shaping the destiny of our community and suburb.

Is there anything about Mernda that you’d like to change?

�e changes I want to see in Mernda are infrastructural changes. I would like to see footpaths where there are none and a better quality of roads. I truly hope that the City of Whittlesea will prioritise infrastructure investments in Mernda.

How do you like to spend your spare time?

As someone who does a full-time job and an active community leader, I have very little spare time so whatever free time I have I spend with my three beautiful children and my wife. (S

Hume City’s Matthew Farrugia is doing all the right things to achieve his dream of playing in the A-league.

�e 16-year-old has made the move from state league to the National Premier League and recently joined a prestigious soccer college.

�e next step is travelling to China with his Melbourne City College of Football teammates to compete at the International School Soccer Tournament in Shanghai.

�e college, which is based at John Fawkner College, will represent Australia at the tournament in July.

Involving 16 teams, the tournament is being hosted by the Chinese Ministry of Education, Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the Shanghai City Government.

Melbourne City College of Football was picked a�er it �nished runners-up at the School Sport Victoria state �nals.

Farrugia said he was thrilled to get the opportunity to travel to China.

“I’m really excited and looking forward to it,” he said. “�ey selected 21 students and �ve sta� to go. �ere was a selection process and it was based on education, work ethic and performance. I de�nitely thought I was a chance of being picked.”

�e Rockbank resident, who bases his game on Socceroo Mathew Leckie (who grew up in Melton), says he expects the tournament to be another level above what he plays in Australia

China trip a step toward dream

He said the communication barrier was something else that would test the group.

It’s been a big couple of years for Farrugia who not only changed schools but clubs to follow his sporting dream.

“I moved schools from Melton this year,” he said. “We had to trial to attend the [John Fawkner] school and try to get in one of three di�erent programs.

“�ere are the community, development and elite programs. It was a hard selection with over 200 students applying. I got in the elite program.”

Farrugia, who normally plays on the right or le� wing, started his soccer at state league side Spring Hills, and now plays for National

Premier League club, Hume City.Five of his Hume City teammates are part of

the team which will travel to China.“State league was a bit easier than the NPL,

which is a harder competition,” he said. “It’s a lot more challenging and I’m always looking for a challenge.”

Long term, Farrugia wants to progress through the age groups at Hume City before hopefully playing in the top competition in Australia.

“Hopefully I’ll make an A-League side, it’s the dream,” he said.

Anyone wanting to donate or sponsor the trip can contact: [email protected] or call 93591166

FOOD REVIEW STARWEEKLY.COM.AU


Charcoal chicken, it is sporadically suggested, is about to make a comeback.

Charcoal chicken does go unacknowledged for its central role in Australian life. I even think it’s a strong contender for our national dish.

But in other ways, to speak of a comeback is silly as charcoal chicken has gone nowhere.

On the downside, I �nd such ruminations a little disturbing as they conjure up visions of hipsterised charcoal poultry with fussy, over-priced side dishes and a food genre stripped of the spunk that makes it such a favourite.

Never mind, there will always be places that do it right … places such as Pier Street Charcoal Chicken.

Everything about this place is old school – the furniture, the salad line-up, the menu, the locals coming and going at a rapid rate.

�e food, too, is old school – and very, very good.

�is is peak charcoal chicken.�e coleslaw is �ne, and more �nely chopped

than is o�en the case.�e chips are fresh out of the frier and beaut.�e tub of steaming hot gravy is wonderful

for chip dipping.I envisaged that the gravy would be super for

dipping the dry breast meat, too.�is proves to be a pleasurable truth – but

one that is completely unnecessary. Here, the breast meat is moist and tender.

Yes – tender! Which is very unusual and

Keep goodeyes on the roadAlthough we might view our cars as ‘transport an-gels’, independence and convenience being the blessings, it becomes a problem when other cars’ headlights look like they have halos.

This ‘vision’ isn’t a heavenly visitation, but rather indicates you may have a not uncommon problem for older people – cataracts. You know, those eye critters we heard about when younger, but didn’t expect to experience ourselves.

A visit to an optometrist for a regular eye check becomes more and more important as we age, especially when you think about being in charge of a car, which requires excellent vision to keep yourself and other drivers safe.

Other cataract signs are headlights looking fuzzy, street signs becoming indistinct when facing on-coming traf�c, and glare’s a bother.

If the idea of having cataracts removed gives you the heebie-jeebies, don’t worry because today’s technology makes it straightforward – and, unlike cataract surgery, the alternative of driving with impaired vision could be fatal.

Macular degeneration is another eye issue that can rear its head as we grow older.

If you notice that driving from a brightly lit area into your shopping centre’s underground carpark is hard for your eyes to adjust to, or your central vision gets blurry, making road lines look crooked

or warped, it may indicate this progressive eye disease.

When it’s hard to spot pedestri-ans starting to cross the road, or cars overtaking on the side, it may mean glaucoma, which impairs side vision.

If you �nd yourself wonder-ing “Where did that pedestrian dressed in bright orange and pur-ple polka dots spring from?” it’s time to book in for an eye test, pronto.

Sometimes it’s just plain old tiredness affecting driving vi-sion; other times it might be a diabetic response to low blood sugar levels, or even a sign of a minor stroke.

It seems unfair that our eyes don’t age like a good wine – which is why we need to keep an eye on our eyes, so we have only good eyes on the eye on our eyes, so we have only good eyes on the road … for everyone’s sake.

Now where’s that optometrist’s number?

Roxburgh Park notched up another win on Saturday as it continued to �y under the radar in division 2 of the Essendon District Football League.

�e Magpies were expected to slide down the ladder this season, but have won four of their opening six matches, including the past three.

On Saturday, they in�icted a ��h straight loss on East Sunbury.

Only two points separated the sides at the �rst break and, but for poor kicking in front of goal, the �under could have been in front.

From there it was all the Magpies, kicking 17 goals to �ve a�er quarter-time to win 21.14 (140)-8.8 (56).

Spearhead Luke Capuano continued his hot form in front of goal, kicking 10 goals in a best-on-ground performance and outscoring the �under by himself.

And a�er booting 20 goals in the past three weeks, he now leads the division’s goalkickers.

Jonathon Austin was named in the best for a third straight week, while Tim Blacker kicked three goals.

�e win means the Magpies are third on the ladder ahead of a clash with the undefeated Moonee Valley at Ormond Park on Saturday.

Jacana was again on the wrong side of a thriller, losing to Keilor Park by one point. It was a case of deja vu for Jacana, with all of this season’s losses being under 10 points.

�e Jaguars led by 15 points at three-quarter time, but could not hold on and went down 8.16 (64)-9.9 (63).

Jake Galizia and Bryce Kimuliatis both kicked three goals for the Jaguars in the loss which leaves them with one win from the �rst six rounds.

BasketballHume City Broncos trio Nick Jones, Paige Tawaf and Rebecca Romeo have been selected for Big V origin all-star games to be held on the Queen’s Birthday weekend. The men’s and women’s matches both involve country and metro sides made up of players from the three senior and youth side Big V divisions. The three Broncos players will all play for the metro sides.

FootballBundoora’s Matthew Dennis and Montmorency’s Jesse Donaldson have been named co-captains of the Northern Football League interleague side. Both have been part of the side the past two years, with NFL coach Robert Hyde saying “it was great reward for both – they’re two terri�c blokes”. The NFL travels to Rye to play Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League on Saturday.

NetballNorthern Netball League has maintained its perfect interleague record by defeating South Football Netball League in under-19s and senior matches on Friday night. The NNL under-19 side won 54-35. The senior match was a high-scoring affair won 81-54 by NNL. Star goalshooter Bec Colwell was named best on court after scoring 42 goals in three quarters.

Whittlesea Ranges coach Vinko Buljubasic hopes his side isn’t too far away from recapturing its early-season form in the National Premier League.

A�er being on �re early in the NPL 2 west season, the Ranges have won just one of their past �ve games, although they have drawn two.

Buljubasic said injuries and an unsettled line-up had seen them slip.

“�ere’s been a change of personnel with a few injuries and there’s been some shu�ing around,” he said.

“When you don’t have a stable line-up it can cause problems.

“[But] Players are starting to get used to di�erent positions and are now able to absorb pressure.

“If we are to be successful, it’s about everyone being ready to play and using the whole squad.”

Against Ballarat Red Devils on Saturday, Buljubasic said his side showed signs that they were starting to get back on track.

�e match ended in a 1-1 draw. �e Devils scored �rst then Atilla O�i scored his 17th goal of the season to earn Ranges a point.

“It was a fair result, with both teams defending well and attacking well,” Buljubasic said.

“It could have gone either way as both sides had their chances.”

Despite the ups and downs of the past �ve weeks the Ranges remain in the mix, sitting in third position – three points behind North Geelong Warriors.

Second through to fourth are separated only by goal di�erence.

“It’s a very close competition with four or �ve teams in the mix,” Buljubasic said.

“North Geelong is three points clear but we are still in contention.

“We’ve got to get on a winning run and get ahead of the pack.”

�e Ranges are set for more changes next week. Jasdip Dingh Dosanjh hurt his hamstring and is unlikely to play, while Naum Sekulovski is likely to be suspended a�er his ��h yellow card of the season.

In NPL, Hume City’s hot streak continued with a 4-1 win over Port Melbourne Sharks.

Kym Harris and Nick Hegarty scored for Hume in the �rst half.

�e Sharks scored their goal early in the second.

�eo Markelis then made it 3-1 for Hume before Hegarty scored his second.

Hume remains ��h on the ladder, nine points behind leaders South Melbourne.

City will be back on the park on Wednesday night to take on Malvern City in the sixth round of the Victorian stage of the nationwide FFA Cup.

�e next six weeks will judge where Hume United is as a team this season in FFV state league 2 north-west.

With three wins from the opening seven round matches, United sits two wins behind ladder leaders Geelong.

�e most recent of those wins came on Saturday, with Enes Gurkan and Leon Osei scoring for United in its 2-1 win over Altona City.

New coach Rob Spasevski said he expected it to be a struggle early on as the side learnt to play together.

�e former Altona Magic mentor is in his �rst year in the job and only four players of last year’s team remain.

“We had to get a team together from scratch,” he said. “When I came in as coach they wanted me to bring some players. I ended up bringing in 15 players.

“�e �rst couple of games were purely ordinary. We’ve got a di�erent 15 from the �rst couple of weeks and we’re now playing some good football.”

While they’ve won three, Spasevski said there were good signs in the losses as well.

“I’m happy with how the boys are performing and our losses, which were 3-2 and 2-1, didn’t do justice to the way we played,” he said.

“�ere were really good signs in our wins. We’re starting to gel and are only a game and half outside the top four.”

A�er tinkering with the line-up from the �rst couple of matches, Spasevski said they were starting to settle. As a result, a few of the younger players such as Saeeed Heyabu and Michael Pontikis were starting to show what they can do.

“We’re developing the young players and we’ve got good commitment from the experienced players,” he said.

“We’re in a results-based industry and they will see losses. It isn’t a true re�ection of the barriers we’re breaking down as a team.”

Spasevski said he hoped the next few weeks would produce a few more wins.

“�ere’s still another 16 games le� and if we string together two to three wins we’ll �nd ourselves in the top �ve.”

Sporting Whittlesea’s struggle to start has continued with a 5-2 loss to Corio.

In state league 3 north-west, Up�eld defeated Westvale 3-1, Lalor United and La Trobe University drew 3-3 and Whittlesea United had a 4-1 win over Western Eagles.

United tracking well for good season

Tigers master the wind to grab fourth winWestmeadows negotiated both Had�eld and a tricky wind to secure a fourth win of the season in division 1 of the Essendon District Football League on Saturday.

�e Tigers kicked with the breeze in the opening quarter and took full advantage with seven goals to one.

�en, more importantly, they outscored the Hawks seven goals to four in the second quarter – kicking against the wind.

It was the same story in the second half as the Tigers went on to win 24.8 (152)-8.10 (58).

Tigers coach Dave Connell said the win was set up at the defensive end.

“It was a really tricky wind, a four or �ve goal breeze,” he said.

“We probably set up the win by outscoring them both times when we were kicking against the wind.”

Connell said his backline had been strong every round, with stability a key.

“�e backline has been terri�c this year and has been unchanged since round 1,” Connell said.

“We’ve been pretty consistent and had pretty much the same group for the last 18 months.

“Matthew Bullock came across from Airport West in premier division and we’ve added Aaron Evans from under-18s.

“He played one game with us last season. We always thought he’d have the potential to play a majority of seniors this year.”

At the other end of the ground, the Tigers have a new-look forward line which has made them the second highest-scoring team in the division, a�er Craigieburn.

“Jordan Foster and Dylan Debritt have been big ins for us,” Connell said.

“Dylan hasn’t really put too much pressure on the scoreboard but has helped structurally.

“Having Matthew Bullock has freed up Daniel Willcocks to play forward. He’s our best and fairest winner and normally plays half back or in the middle.

“It’s the �rst year under me we’ve tried him forward. He kicked seven goals yesterday.”

�e �exibility within the side is �owing through to the lower grades, with the Tigers

unbeaten in the reserves.�e Tigers face Taylors Lakes this weekend,

before meeting Tullamarine and Craigieburn in a crucial fortnight for the club’s ladder position.

Connell said he was happy to take the 4-1 start to the season.

“I think if someone had said we’d be 4-1 a�er �ve matches we’d have taken it,” he said.

“But we were disappointed with the one loss and it brought us down to earth.

“Hopefully we’ll get the job done against Taylors. �en we’ll look at the two trying weeks we have a�er that.”

A�er a disastrous start to the Big V state championship season, the Whittlesea Pacers are hanging in there.

Seven straight losses all but ended the Pacers’ �nals hopes before the season was even halfway through.

�ey won their next two matches, but on Saturday night tasted defeat again, losing 86-77 to Ringwood.

�ere was only two points di�erence at the last break but, not for the �rst time this season, the Pacers couldn’t �nd the basket in the dying minutes.

Chris Kaba top-scored for the Pacers with 25 points, while Lincoln Gar�rth chipped in with 20.

Pacers’ coach Ross Moll said the side was �nally �nding some poise a�er a slow start.

“If we had two or three of those early games again, we’d probably do things di�erently,” he said.

“We weren’t good enough and should have done better. It’s about holding our nerve and having a little bit better execution.”

He said individuals were starting to blossom.

He said Gar�rth, who is averaging 13 points, did a really good job against Corio Bay’s Jason Reardon defensively and was making an impact on the scoreboard.

“Damian O’Keefe came o� the bench against Corio Bay and got �ve of seven three-point attempts in 13 minutes,” Moll said. “He grabbed his opportunity … the challenge is for him to be more consistent.”

He said youth league players Aiden Zeverona and Jack Petrucelle are thriving being around the senior set-up.

�e Pacers just missed �nals the past two years, and they’re not currently on the agenda for this season.

“We still are not looking that far ahead,” Moll said. “We’re taking each game as it comes doing what we need to do.”

�e Pacers women’s side remains winless a�er a massive defeat at the hands of Ringwood.

Scores were level at the �rst break, but the Hawks blew the game open in the second quarter with a 25-5 term.

It was much the same for the rest of the game, with the Hawks winning 90-49. Trudy Armstead top-scored for the Pacers with 12.

Pacers push to put slow start behind them

Momentum is building for Epping in division 3 of the Northern Football League.

Last year’s grand �nalists haven’t started the season as they would have liked but have still won �ve of the opening seven matches.

Against Mernda on Saturday, the Pingers were determined not to su�er a repeat of their 25-point smashing in round one.

�e Pingers jumped out of the blocks and took advantage of kicking with the wind, booting six goals to none in the �rst quarter.

�ey outscored the Demons in every quarter to run away to a 13.11 (89)-4.7 (31) victory.

Pingers’ coach Greg Whitcro� said he was pleased with how his side had developed since round one.

“In the �rst game they [Mernda] were far too good and the scoreline �attered us,” he said.

“I think we have improved. “�ere was a big wind on Saturday and it

never stopped all day.“In the second and fourth quarters, when

Mid�eld shines as Pingers �nd formMernda’s Jesse Owens-Draper tackles Tom Sullivan. (Shawn Smits)

we were defending while they had the wind, we outscored them and then matched them.

“It set up the game.”Christopher Chilcott kicked three goals for

the Pingers, while Shane Wood continued his good work in defence.

Josh Stavely, who has stepped up into senior football, was best on ground.

“Our mid�eld is starting to pick up,” Whitcro� said. “We got o� to a slow start but the mid�eld has got on top the last three weeks and are giving us �rst use of the ball.

“�ey’re starting to gel and understand how I like things.”

Whitcro� said he was thrilled to see the likes of Jordan Wilkins and Jason Stavely thriving at the higher level.

He was also impressed with how Paul Dempsey responded to the move to centre half-back.

He said the key now for the Pingers is to maintain their consistency. �ey have a bye this

week because of the interleague match against the Mornington Peninsula Nepean League.

“All the young guys are improving and the trick is to close the gap between their best and worst,” Whitcro� said.

“We’re 5-2 and sitting pretty. We have a few sore players so the bye comes at a good time.”

In other division 3 matches, South Morang’s good form continued with a massacre of Kilmore. �e Lions had 43 scoring shots to 12 in the 22.21 (153)-6.6 (42) win.

Kane Maghamez kicked six goals. In division 1, Bundoora su�ered its �rst loss

since round 1, West Preston Lakeside kicking 10 goals to six in the second half to win 13.11 (89)-12.4 (76).

Whittlesea remains winless a�er losing 12.11 (83)-8.12 (60) to Greensborough.

In division 2, Lalor defeated Panton Hill and �omastown lost to Hurstbridge.

Falcons’ future is up in the airBy Tara Murray

Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows will look to the future a�er withdrawing from the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association.

�e club pulled the pin on its sub-district cricket aspirations on Friday because of a lack of players but will look to play on in other competitions.

Club legend Mick Strei�, who had put his hand up to be president, said the club had worked hard to stay in the sub-district competition.

“We had a committee together of about eight or nine people and had done dra� budgets,” Strei� said. “Everything seemed �ne … we signed Adam [Yates] and Mitch [Strei�] to be coach and assistant coach.

“We spoke to people about captaining the thirds and fourths and we had numbers for both sides.

“As long as we had enough for the top two sides, we would have been right.”

Strei� said the club thought it had the numbers necessary for the top two sides, but several players had pulled out.

“We had �ve retirements from the senior side and were looking at getting a few extra players on board,” Strei� said.

“We’d signed a guy from England. One player then said he wasn’t sure if he was staying and it snowballed … we had �ve or six say they weren’t coming back.”

A�er several committee meetings and separate discussions with Yates and Mitch Strei�, the Falcons decided they didn’t have the numbers necessary to play on.

“It was a hard decision [but] we had to make the decision now,” Strei� said.

“Adam and Mitch had knocked back o�ers from other clubs – they had tried hard to get new players but could only get a couple of players who were maybes.”

Strei�, who has been involved with the club for 40 years said he would not stay on as president.

Former club president Ben Wood said since

Friday’s decision he had been approached to help set up a new committee.

Headed up by Tyson Sinclair and Matt English, the new committee wanted to continue having both senior and junior sides with a focus on more social cricket.

“�e club will survive. �e guys who are running it have to make some decisions,” Wood said. “It’s important to ensure we have a club going forward.

“We’ve got strong numbers at a junior level and have the numbers for thirds and fourths.

“Juniors won’t change, but do they want to play in Victorian Turf Cricket Association or in the North West Metropolitan Cricket Association? Or maybe they play in both competitions – they have to sit down and decide where the club heads.”

‘‘ It was a hard decision [but] we had to make the decision now ’’ - Mick Streiff
