The Werribee artist’s confronting images were inspired by last year’s sinking of a boat carrying about 500 asylum seekers off the Italian island of Lampedusa. Altona’s Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre is $1000 shy of the funds needed to frame Adonai’s works in time for the June exhibition. ■ STORY BY GOYA DMYTRYSHCHAK, PAGE 10

A NEW ERAPUBLISHER’S MESSAGE

Dear readers,Today is something of a bittersweet day for Metro Media Publishing as we publish the Wyndham Weekly for the last time.

� e Weekly and its predecessor, the Werribee Banner, have played a major part in the social, political, economic and sporting life of Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs for more than 110 years.

In that time, we have produced outstanding journalism, creating a strong bond with our readers and a compelling environment for our advertisers.

We are proud to have helped write the history of this rapidly-changing part of Melbourne. � is newspaper too has changed over that time as we have sought to keep it relevant and engaging . It is about to change once more.

From next week, the Weekly will be replaced by the new Wyndham Star Weekly, a joint venture between MMP and Star News Group.

MMP Star will publish six titles under the Star Weekly banner: the Wyndham Star Weekly, Maribyrnong & Hobsons Bay Star Weekly, Northern Star Weekly, Melton & Moorabool Star Weekly, Sunbury & Macedon Ranges Star Weekly and Brimbank & North West Star Weekly. Total circulation for the six publications is more than 310,000 copies.

� e merger of our newspapers in the north and west will create the best publication in each market, o� ering even better content and a superior environment for advertisers.

So while we pause today to recognise the grand past of the Weekly, and thank all of those people who have played a large part in its success, we look forward with con� dence to the creation of the best newspaper business in the west, the Star Weekly. \ TRENT CASSON \ CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

call to put pokies out of harm’s wayWYNDHAM

New poker machines could soon be banned from Wyndham shopping centres a� er a state government planning panel endorsed plans to tighten restrictions on the location of gaming venues.

A Wyndham council proposal, � agged late last year, is designed to limit ‘‘impulse’’ decisions and reduce harm caused by problem gambling.

A government independent planning panel report released this month recommends the proposal be adopted by the council.

Council sustainable development director Dean Rochfort said current policies had failed to limit the number of electronic gaming machines in Wyndham. He said an alarming number of machines continued

to be approved by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal and the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation.

‘‘It was important to seek controls to be inserted into the planning scheme to provide council with the ability to control the location of future gaming venues,” he said.

Wyndham punters lost almost $250,000 a day on local pokies in 2013.

Tarneit has 548 machines, while Altona has 561 machines, 345 of which are in Wyndham.

� e council plan also identi� es locations where gaming is to be “discouraged”, including areas where there are high socioeconomic disadvantage or high levels of

housing stress. It will also ban new machines being installed within walking distance of, or visible from, an existing or approved gaming venue.

� e plan identi� es areas where machines are to be ‘‘encouraged’’, including sites

where there is a choice of recreational and entertainment options other than pokies.

� e plan has been welcomed by Monash University senior lecturer Charles Livingstone .

He said the changes were likely to help with limiting the likelihood of

new gambling-related harm taking place but warned the plan was not a “magic � x.”

A � nal report will be presented to councillors later this year. \

roads, transport top priority: councilwyndham

Funding to � x Wyndham’s overstretched roads and crowded public transport must be fast-tracked in next week’s state budget, according to mayor Bob Fairclough .

Cr Fairclough, who has led a campaign urging state and federal leaders to boost roads spending, said the council’s priority was to reduce the � ow-on e� ect of large-scale transport projects in the outer west, including the metro rail tunnel and the western section of the contentious east-west link.

“Funding for improved bus services is also a very high priority,” he said.

“Restructuring the timetable is needed to ensure buses meet train services when Regional Rail Link services begin, and there

needs to be more commuter parking at stations .”

Cr Fairclough said the council had made an urgent submission to the government highlighting the need for greater investment in local schools . Existing schools were overcrowded and maintenance was desperately needed at Tarneit Senior and Werribee Secondary colleges.

Cr Fairclough said arterial road upgrades were also critical .

His calls were echoed by Cr John Gibbons. “Funding to improve Dohertys Road to Laverton North is absolutely essential,” he said.

“It’s simply dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. With the construction of the railway, it’s paramount that all roads

surrounding the project are improved or there will be more hold-ups and tra� c jams on already congested roads.’’

Fellow councillor and National Growth Areas Alliance spokeswoman Heather

Marcus said road improvements were desperately needed.

“But along with improving roads, we need to make sure there is infrastructure that keeps up with the demand of the population,’’

Cr Marcus said. ‘‘Improving employment opportunities for a more

prosperous future is also a key area the state government needs to invest in.”

� e state budget will be announced next Tuesday. \

“it is simply dangerous for drivers”



MY TOWN

Being a child of Mother England, I have to admit to a certain fondness for this time of year.

As the mercury starts to head south and greying clouds bring showers of rain, thoughts turn to slow-cooked casseroles and hot cups of tea on a Sunday morning with a rustling newspaper.

Barren brown � elds of grass turn to lush green pastures , bees and butter� ies wa� ing overhead while fattening sheep gather at waterholes and horses graze contentedly.

� e river swells, washing across rocks downstream and creeping up the bank towards the blue gums, tall and silent sentinels to the coming and going of time and tide.

� e wardrobe is raided for scarves and boots, dusty and forgotten down the back among the dead moths and odd socks, smelling slightly musty from last year’s winter outings.

Frost appears on the car windscreen and dangles like diamonds in delicate spider webs stretched across tree branches.

Firewood is cut and split, then stacked up high to await cosy evenings with friends and family and long clear nights where stars brighten up a big sky .

� e days are full of glorious sunshine, bracketed by a brisk coolness in the mornings and evenings .

Winter school uniforms, with restricting ties and heavy woollen jumpers, are worn by kids bemoaning the loss of freedom a pair of thongs and sloppy T-shirt a� ords.

We begin to prepare for winter in Melbourne, with its biting winds that go right through you, cold noses and freezing hands, icy roads and dark evenings.

But for now, it’s temperate weather and warm days . I will enjoy the deep breath before the icy plunge. \

Williams Landing

Youth support service Whitelion’s annual Bail Out has given people a � rst-hand look at what it’s like to be imprisoned , and in the process the “prisoners” have raised much needed money for a youth food van in Wyndham.

Sta� from Masters Williams Landing, including Leigh Connolly, Anthony Grimm and E� e Pensa, joined former homeless youth Craig (pictured, second from le� ) for the fund-raiser last Friday and Saturday.

As part of the Bail Out, volunteer “inmates” are stripped of possessions, � ngerprinted and photographed before being taken to court, where they are sentenced to time in a cell. � ey must raise at least $1000 to be “bailed”.

Craig told the Weekly he was kicked out of home at age 13 and had nowhere to go until Whitelion stepped in .

Whitelion chief executive Mark Watt said the organisation hoped to collect another $7000 for the food van before the end of next month. \ MC

super clinic a boon for our region

WYNDHAM VALE

Health experts believe waiting lists in Wyndham will improve following the opening of a GP super clinic in Wyndham Vale.

� e $15 million clinic, funded by the former Labor federal government and operated by ISIS Primary Care, was opened last Wednesday.

� e clinic includes GPs, dental care, occupational therapy, sexual and reproductive health services, social work and family support programs.

It will also provide bulk-billed and a� er-hours services to reduce the load on hospitals.

Business development manager Cass Quilty said Wyndham Vale Super Clinic would help meet the medical needs of Wyndham’s growing population .

“Without this service, residents’ healthcare would have been severely disadvantaged in the future,” she said.

“Services were already overstretched with a shortage of GP s, coupled with a growing population [ from] an increasingly changing and diverse demographic .”

� e super clinic was opened by opposition leader Bill Shorten, opposition health spokeswoman Catherine King and Lalor MP Joanne Ryan.

Last year, the Weekly reported that a study commissioned by western suburbs councils, Western Health and LeadWest revealed Wyndham had a high instance of obesity and cardiovascular disease, which was linked to a shortage of GPs in the area.

Ms Ryan said the clinic was sorely needed, with more than 70 babies born in Wyndham each week and 15,000 residents moving to the municipality in the past two years .

� e super clinic is at 510 Ballan Road in Wyndham Vale . \ MC

aboriginal staff to tackle health gapHEALTH

Two Aboriginal healthcare professionals have been employed by Werribee Mercy Hospital to help close the health gap for Wyndham’s growing indigenous population.

In a Wyndham � rst, liaison o� cer Jasmine Kildea and transitions project o� cer Marie Mullins will work to improve access to healthcare for indigenous residents while being sensitive to cultural di� erences.

“It makes a di� erence for an Aboriginal patient to have somebody of their own culture assisting them with their healthcare needs,” Ms Mullins said. “Due to their poorer health outcomes, it’s crucial that we encourage them to seek help when they need it.

‘‘� ey are more likely to seek that help from somebody they feel at ease with.’’

Australian Bureau of Statistics data reveals Aboriginal life expectancy is signi� cantly lower than the general population. Indigenous men have a life expectancy of 69 , compared to 80 for non-indigenous residents. For women, it is 73 (compared to 85).

Rates of chronic disease are also signi� cantly higher.

� e 2011 census showed that almost 1700 indigenous people lived in Wyndham, up from 1145 in 2006.

Ms Mullins said her upbringing in an indigenous community inspired her to specialise in a profession that worked with people of her own culture.

She said word ha d already spread to the local indigenous population and there had been a spike in the number of Aboriginal

patients seeking help at the hospital. She hoped her role would lead to better health outcomes for patients and stronger links to healthcare providers upon discharge.

Ms Kildea will work one-on-one with patients and hospital sta� to create better

cultural awareness .Mercy Health executive director

Dr Linda Mellors said the positions would provide a valuable service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and their families.

“We’re very pleased to be able to provide this service to our patients,’’

Dr Mellors said. “� ese skilled workers will be able to deliver speci� c care and advice to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and the sta� caring for them.” \

your voiceGive us our growth money, say Greens(Weekly, April 23)

■ Greens leader Greg Barber says public transport is not keeping up with population growth. It’s evident that population growth does not pay for itself.

The Greens are focusing on the lack of public transport but not the cause – our rampant population growth driven by high immigration rates.

It’s overloading our infrastructure and increasing the cost of living.

The east- west link will sink at least $8 billion from the infrastructure fund, and this will mean the coffers will be drained from the fringe suburbs.

The Greens are deliberately avoiding the cause of most of our environmental stresses – population pressures and impacts.

Our state’s economy has become a rollercoaster based on in� ating the housing bubble by importing people.

The heavy costs of infrastructure and basic services are passed onto

the public, who are meant to live in deprivation while the banks and property developers make all the gains.MARY G \ VIA WEB

Pallas seeks state cash for outer west(Weekly, April 23)

■ Mr Pallas, you will get nothing as usual because you have no idea how to sell our region to the government.

Wyndham council is the worst negotiator in the public sector, the only thing negotiated correctly is the place of your next lunch meeting.ROGER \ VIA WEB

■ I can’t recall him being so eager for money in the west when he was the roads minister.ALBERT FEY \ VIA WEB

■ Politicians love big megalomaniac projects that put their names into history, and passing the bill onto the public and future generations.

They promote and adore the “growth”, but it’s too expensive to

fund. They prefer mega-projects like the desal plant and the east- west link.

The mundane demands for vital links for roads and public transport are not glamorous enough.

Wyndham’s growth has nothing organic about it. It’s not due to families having con� dence in our economy, or the future, and producing bigger families.

Most of our population growth is due to net overseas migration, and it’s a policy that should be questioned.TONY B \ VIA WEB

My shoutWhat’s with the � nger pointing at pensioners and the sick as though they’re solely to blame for the supposed budget emergency we’re in?

Treasurer Joe Hockey makes some valid points about the need to raise the pension age and why government services can no longer be free. However, it all seems disingenuous when you look at some of the bene� ts he continues to support for people not exactly doing it tough, such as the Medicare rebate for high-income earners; mining industry fuel subsidies worth $2 billion a year; negative gearing and scrapping Labor’s fringe bene� t tax on leasing cars.

Meanwhile, the Abbott government wants to scrap the mining tax and refuses to raise taxes on high-income earners, leaving the sick and those approaching retirement to feel like they’re a burden on the country . \

journey to freedom finds artistic destinationASYLUM SEEKERS

A� er � eeing Iran and surviving a perilous boat journey to Australia, Hanieh Khamisi has found a new freedom: expressing herself in art.

� e 14-year-old asylum seeker is helping to promote a fund-raising movie night in Yarraville organised by the Hobsons Bay Refugee Network (HBRN) and fellow refugee support group West Welcome Wagon.

Hanieh describes the � nal part of her journey to Australia as scary.

“We had stress and worry,” she said. “I went from Iran to Dubai and then from Dubai to Jakarta and then from Jakarta to Christmas Island.

“We lived in Jakarta about one and a half months, and a� er that we were on the water about four days then on Christmas Island about one month and a half.’’

� e year 9 student at Hoppers Crossing Secondary College said Iran was “a beautiful country” but unsafe.

While at school, Hanieh discovered her artistic abilities a� er drawing a picture of a cat for one of her teachers.

She has been honing her skills in the Williamstown home studio of pastel artist

Dorothy Page, co-founder of the HBRN. � e two have been drawing birds of prey in the lead-up to a � lm fund-raiser for asylum seekers, featuring the premiere of Australian movie Healing at Sun � eatre.

Set at Healesville Sanctuary, the � lm tells the story of a broken man from Won Wron

prison who is taught to rehabilitate injured raptors as part of a healing process.

Ms Page says money raised from the $20 � lm tickets will be used to buy reconditioned fridges and washing machines for asylum seekers on “no advantage” visas,

who are living on as little as $3 a day.“� ey’re not allowed to work,” Ms

Page said. “� e adults are not allowed to do any formal study. � e children are allowed to go to school, fortunately.”

� e � lm screens on � ursday, May 8, from 7pm. \

BRIEFSlegal service ‘can’t keep up with demand’Wyndham

A Wyndham solicitor says the municipality’s only community legal service is being � ooded with calls for help with family violence, driving infringements, housing stress and neighbourhood disputes.

Wyndham Legal Service senior policy lawyer Shorna Moore (pictured) said the legal needs of many residents in the outer west were spiralling out of control as services struggled to keep up with demand.

As reported by the Weekly, a report released by the Law Institute of Victoria on April 9 revealed that residents seeking legal help in Wyndham faced signi� cant barriers, with ageing and overstretched facilities failing to keep up with population growth. Urgently needed was a criminal, civil and administrative justice centre in the community, the report stated.

Ms Moore said family violence continued to be a “hidden issue” . For too many Wyndham residents, access to basic justice services was unattainable.

Women’s Health West receives about

125 family violence incident referrals from Wyndham every month .

“� e combined e� ect of distance-related obstacles to obtaining access to assistance can be crippling,” Ms Moore said.

“� ere is also a lack of shelters and support services in outlying communities, such that women may not be able to leave home.”

Ms Moore’s concerns were echoed by Chris Potaris , chief

executive of the Committee for Wyndham, which is leading the charge for a justice precinct in the city .

Mr Potaris said urgent action was needed.

“We will ensure that talks with the state government continue, to address the immediate needs facing the region .”

He said the committee wanted consultation between the government and key stakeholders to remain transparent, not be in isolation from key community groups.

A new Wyndham justice precinct advisory group will hold its � rst meeting on May 23. \

big crowd greets the dawnWERRIBEE

More than 7000 people � ocked to Werribee’s cenotaph for this year’s Anzac Day dawn service.

Werribee RSL president Daryl Ryan said the crowd included � ve World War II veterans ranging in age from 95 to 103 .

� e service was followed by Grange College choir renditions of the Australian and New Zealand anthems , and a march by Werribee

Secondary College army cadets. Mr Ryan said this Anzac Day was particularly signi� cant as the centenary of Gallipoli approached and it was great to see so many children in attendance.

“I think the signi� cance of the sacri� ce of these soldiers continues to increase, especially as next year will mark the 100th anniversary of the battle in Gallipoli.”

Friday’s service was followed by breakfast at the Wyndham Cultural Centre . \ MC

driver shortage makes loop commuters latePUBLIC TRANSPORT

Altona Loop commuters are waiting up to 44 minutes for a peak-hour train a� er Metro cancelled several services because of a driver shortage.

� e move has frustrated passengers of three loop stations – Altona, Westona and Seaholme – who already have the longest zone 1 peak-hour wait of 22 minutes.

Metro’s website states that planned cancellations until May 30 are necessary because it is “upgrading its network with the Regional Rail Link and Springvale level crossing removal projects and we also need to train our drivers on the new sections of track”.

Altona Loop Group spokeswoman Jennifer Williams said other commuters on the Werribee line had a train every 11 minutes in peak hour.

“� is [the cancellations] really disadvantages commuters on the Altona Loop stations and is unacceptable. � e

Metro website confused the issue by stating that buses would replace trains when the trains were running most of the time.”

Laverton-bound commuters requiring li� access on arrival have also vented frustration at being told to travel to Aircra�

or Williams Landing stations. Following a Weekly report that three out of four li� s at Laverton station are broken, Hobsons Bay deputy mayor Colleen Gates called on Public Transport Victoria to � x the li� s as a

priority. “For people with a disability, older

people, parents with a pram and people with a shopping jeep or bicycle, broken li� s means they have to travel to the nearest station, which is almost a kilometre away .”

Metro has temporarily reinstated a bus service that had been controversially cancelled, to transport passengers between Laverton and Aircra� stations.

Metro spokeswoman Larisa Tait said that most cancellations had been implemented in o� -peak hours. \

adonai’s brush strokes asilent voice for refugeesaRTS

When a boat carrying 500 asylum seekers sank o� the Italian island of Lampedusa, it moved Michael Adonai to create the works featured in his Altona exhibition titled I did not choose to be a refugee.

Eritrea-born Adonai is a winner of his country’s top art prize. He has exhibited internationally, including at a United Nations-sponsored global art show in New York.

In 1977, aged 15, Adonai joined the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front. Much of his early work centres on his experiences of war.

Adonai, who lives in Werribee, said that his latest works paid tribute to the 359 asylum seekers who died in the sea on October 3.

“In particular, the exhibition pays homage to an Eritrean woman, seven months pregnant, who prematurely gave birth to a baby boy while drowning. When rescue divers pulled them from the sea bed, the mother and baby were still

connected by the umbilical cord.” Adonai’s exhibition will be at Altona’s Joel Gallery from June 14-27. � e Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre is $1 000 shy of the funds needed to frame Adonai’s pieces.

Centre manager Jill Bilston said it was a coup to secure Adonai’s solo exhibition.

“He has had exhibitions in New York, Washington and several European

countries,” she said.“We are so proud to have this

exhibition in Altona.“So far, the centre has received

two lots of funding totalling $1500. We need another $1 000 to

enable all his work to be framed to a high standard.”

� e exhibition is supported by Hobsons Bay council and Multicultural Arts Victoria. Adonai now works with Wyndham council to share his skills with aspiring young artists. \

They organised to meet at a McDonald’s restaurant in Greensborough in 2011, the fast-food outlet being considered the most suitable place to break the ice.

His hands were empty, but Ashley Wells, then still a teenager, carried the burden of a history of family dysfunction and years of living in out-of-home care.

The encounter would become the first of many with Renee Kefalas, a mentoring co-ordinator across the northern region with not-for-profit youth service Whitelion.

Wells had been referred to the organisation, which works with young people at risk of falling off the radar, by his Department of Human Services case worker.

“My case worker told Renee that I was getting quite bored on the weekends and had nothing to do,” Wells, now 20, recalls.

Kefalas says Wells presented as an enthusiastic, albeit terribly cautious, adolescent. “The first time I met him he was very shy and quiet,” she says.

But the meeting went swimmingly and Wells soon signed up to the Whitelion mentoring program that partners ordinary members of the community with young people who have gone through the youth justice system or who have been living in out-of-home care and suddenly find themselves unable to cope on their own.

Like the hundreds of young people who leave out-of-home care each year, Wells was faced with the

prospect of � nding his own housing once he turned 18. � e transition can be di� cult and for many the wheels fall o� when the support ends.

“It was hard because over my years in care I always felt I had a home to go to and then I didn’t have anywhere to call home,” says Wells, who brie� y lived with his sister and then slept on a mattress at his brother’s house. “It wasn’t a home, it was just a place to go and sleep,” he recalls.

Wells later lived with his partner, with whom he ha s a daughter, but the relationship broke down and he ended up homeless. “I go and see her [my daughter] every fortnight on my pay days,” he says.

“Every time I leave the house I feel bad and stu� but, then again, I feel I’ll be there at some point in her life.”

For almost a year he has been residing in supported accommodation at a housing block in Footscray operated by not-for-pro� t organisation Berry Street.

Young people living at the block must be enrolled in education or vocational training to qualify for the temporary housing.

“We basically have to � nd our own housing when we turn 18, but that is also supported with furniture and other things,” Wells says.

In the form of a mentor named Mal, he also had support to help his transition from the state care system to the daunting reality of the real world. Wells counts this friendship as a leading reason he has got his life back on track.

� e pair meet every fortnight for a few hours, but Mal also attends weekend footy matches to watch Wells play as part of a disability side in Coburg.

“He’s given me lots of con� dence,” Wells says. “He rings me and asks how I am and I text him to see what he’s up to. He’s

become a friend and also like a big brother.”Mentors are community volunteers from all

walks of life, trained and registered through Whitelion . � e organisation has about

200 mentors on its books across the entire state .

� e relationship normally lasts for a bit over a year but is judged on a case by base basis. Wells and Mal will soon chalk up three years of knowing each other.

“It’s been awesome to see him become more of a con� dent young man,” Kefalas says. “ Even though Ash had a few changes here and there,

that friendship [with Mal] has remained.” Robyn Ferguson, Whitelion

team leader for the northern region, says the connection between young

people and mentors is crucial. “It’s a very rewarding and enriching

experience for the young person,” she says. “� e mentor is a consistent person in their lives other than

workers. For a lot of young people the key consistent people in their life have been professional workers.”

Wells, who aspires to become a truck driver, has accessed several other programs o� ered by Whitelion that assist with job training, support and employment.

He started a plastering course, but it fell through when the

teacher had to opt out for personal reasons. Wells is now trying to re-link with employment through job training.

“When he’s going up and down – and when all our young people are going up and down – we can provide support for them,” Ferguson sa ys.

Perhaps Wells’s biggest step forward has been his pathway into the Young Lions’ leadership program this year.

� e program is made up of young people aged 15 to 25 with a history of the youth justice or out-of-home care systems and who have been identi� ed as potential leaders.

� e year-long program involves fortnightly workshops and three camps and is aimed at creating an opportunity for young people to become role models and inspire others.

Wells seems keen on making a di� erence. “ You basically help a young person who’s going on the wrong path and you can give them guidance to the right path,” he says. “You’re a role model and they look up to you. I’m in a good place where I feel like I can give back to other young people and lea d them on the right path because you can achieve things in life.”

Ferguson agrees. “I love seeing young people achieve and move through life and become independent and achieve their goals and dreams.”

A $1 million state government-funded research project, dubbed Beyond 18, is investigating young people’s experience during their transition from out-of-home care and a� er they have le� care.

� e � ve-year study began in 2012 and will focus on young people scheduled to move out of the system this year.

Ferguson says there is no quick � x to the problem, and she would welcome anything that would trigger further support for organisations o� ering services. “It’s a chronic problem. I think homelessness of young people is on the rise but because of couch sur� ng it probably doesn’t get acknowledged as much as it should.” \

“What’s fascinating about the Australians is they have this quality that they are impervious to majesty,’’ British � lm director Tom Hooper

once observed. “� ey’re not awed.’’In preparation for his 2010 � lm project � e King’s

Speech, Hooper immersed himself in the relationship between George VI and his Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue. His summation about this unlikely friendship might also provide a clue as to why, years earlier, another Australian managed to captivate the king.

In the 1920s, Sheila Chisholm, the daughter of a wealthy New South Wales grazier, became one of London’s leading socialites. In his new biography, Sheila, Australian journalist Robert Wainwright explores Chisholm’s eventful life – her Australian childhood, her experiences during two world wars, her three marriages, and her impact on the London social scene – with tenacity and thorough research. But the friendships she forged with the young Duke of Windsor (later Edward VIII) and his brother Bertie (later George VI), and her previously little-known a� air with the younger of the pair provides Wainwright with a spark for his story.

� e Aussie-conquers-London theme is not a new one for local biographers. But, like Sheila, the recently published Inside Trader, the memoir of actor Ronald Faulkner, is another opportunity to re� ect on the expat experience.

Born in Sydney in 1927, Trader (a nickname acquired a� er a successful childhood mission to win back his marble collection) was working at the ABC record library when a charismatic actor friend, Peter Finch, suggested he try acting. Shortly a� er, Finch le� for London and

We’ve been doing Bikram Yoga since February 2013 and have found it to be an excellent way to stay fit all year round. It’s a low-impact form of exercise that has helped us greatly in terms of weight loss, blood circulation and metabolism as well as helping to alleviate the symptoms of asthma, hernia and arthritic feet.

We both love the mental discipline that comes with the practice and enjoy doing classes together, particularly when attempting the challenges that the studio sets for us. We both discovered Bikram through recommendations from friends and would certainly recommend it to you too!

went on to become a celebrated stage and screen actor. In 1950, at the urging of visiting British theatre director Tyrone Guthrie, 23-year old Ronald also decided to try his luck.

A few weeks ago, Trader Faulkner was once again on tour – this time to promote his new memoir. Unlike his mate Finchy, Trader’s acting career was confined mainly to B-grade parts, extensive regional touring and secondary roles. But Faulkner’s sense of fun and his adventurous spirit meant he developed relaxed and meaningful friendships with many famous people.

Inside Trader is honest and, at times, quietly revealing about the author and the people with whom he worked. “During our rehearsals, (Sir John) Gielgud was uncompromising as he relentlessly bullied me to rid my voice of any trace of ‘Australiana’,’’ he writes. “John was a very impulsive man and, at times, had a barbed wit, of which I was often the victim.’’

His summary of working with Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Anthony Quayle and others in the 1955 Stratford season goes like this: “That year at Stratford was a process of humiliating self-realisation. Charm and good looks were bringing me a certain degree of popularity among the company. But then an acutely embarrassing experience made me realise the hollow value of charm when it’s allied to ambition and divorced from any thought for others.’’

Faulkner’s wake-up call came when he chose lunch with the Oliviers – a heady prospect – over a catch-up with two friends. His analysis of the hurt he caused, and the negative impact of such powerful celebrity influences, helps elevate Inside Trader beyond the usual kind of showbiz bio.

Robert Wainwright also ensures Sheila Chisholm, rather than the VIPs with whom she mixes, is the focus of the reader’s attention. Chisholm deserves this focus. As Wainwright writes, “Sheila Chisholm was an Australian woman who lived through one of the most interesting, if turbulent, periods of the 20th century. The story of her life, and loves, suggests she embraced – and embodied – a particular kind of ‘Australian-ness’ and a spirit that defied and perhaps helped loosen the strictures and mores of Anglo-English relationships of the time”. \

fiLM Veronica Mars \ DVD and Blu-ray (Warner) » warnerbros.com.au

The cinema resurrection of cult teen detective series Veronica Mars arrives on DVD this week, having skipped Australian theatres. If, like me, you’re a stranger to the world of Veronica (Kristen Bell), then this film should be a good jumping-on point. Bell’s incessant voice-over works hard to bring us up to speed, but ends up telling us more than we need to know. Likewise, the dialogue is pure exposition, about as naturalistic as an Ikea instruction manual.

Veronica herself is a Buffy-esque protagonist, loaded with more quips than a hyperactive stand-up comic. Now working as a lawyer, she returns to her hometown to prove her ex-boyfriend innocent of murder.

Despite having a saner boyfriend and exciting career waiting, can Veronica resist the charms of her super-wealthy, super-violent ex? This isn’t really convincing as a stand-alone film, but fans will be pleased to revisit some old friends. \ MArtiN frEEMAN \ fArGOK

The return of Alan Davies’ duffle-coated detective feels like good timing as there’s a trend for savant investigators and baroque mysteries.

The first of this new series has much fun with a Sherlock-alike, but the sad fact is Creek doesn’t even try to compete. Instead, the episode deconstructs the classic “locked room mystery” template by showing us exactly how the crime was done from the start. It’s all very clever, but not exactly nail-biting.

Davies himself has shed the duffle coat and looks a little fed up. Booted out of his iconic windmill into a fractious, small-town marriage, Creek seems less enigmatic genius and more disillusioned uncle.

Fans of writer David Renwick’s other show, One Foot In The Grave, will enjoy the petty squabbles but mystery fans will have to wait for this run’s final episode for a riddle worth puzzling over.

Over on SBS, Fargo has a better balance of intrigue and black comedy. Adapting the Coen brothers’ 1996 classic seemed a disastrous idea, but these first episodes perfectly mimic the film’s dry banter and grubby horror.

Billy Bob Thornton is terrifying and charismatic as an oddly righteous hit man, encouraging the locals to make a right from two wrongs. In the William H. Macy role, Martin Freeman is likeable enough as the perennially bullied Lester, who inadvertently orders a murder.

Not sure if it has legs for a long run, but this is an extremely promising start. \

Celebrating 30 Years

Hoppers crossingsecondary college


IN FOCUS ADVERTISING FEATURE

It’s reassuring to know a school’s principal has taught various subjects to different year levels and spent time getting to know

the students before taking on the pivotal role – just as Hoppers Crossing Secondary College principal Wayne Terrill has done.

“I have been a career adviser, camps co-ordinator, sport co-ordinator, head of the PE and health department, co-ordinator for year 7-10 and assistant principal,” he says.

“I’ve been meeting and learning about our students since 1984.

“We now have about 1390 students, and wonderful facilities including a $2 million science centre; international leadership programs; and recently refurbished facilities such as the trade wing, basketball and tennis courts.”

For the past 30 years, the college has combined an academic and trade-orientated curriculum including VCE, VCAL, VET programs and tertiary enhancement studies provided through Melbourne and Monash universities.

The college prides itself on providing tailored curriculums to individual students.

Students are also given opportunities to develop leadership skills through programs such as Youth Parliament, United Nations mock conventions and international learning experiences to the US, Italy and China.

The college will hold a cyber safety forum at the school on Tuesday, May 13, from 7pm. It will be hosted by Mr Terrill and delivered by guest speakers from internet safety program organisation ThinkUKnow. All Wyndham parents

are invited to attend. Registration can be made by contacting the college. An open day will be held on Wednesday, May 21, with tours from 9am and 6pm followed by an information session at 7pm. \

hoppers college sets students up for a life of learning

Fine setting: Kahlia, Zoe and Marco join principal Wayne Terrill in a stroll through their wonderfully leafy school environment; Experience: Principal Wayne Terrill learned the ropes from the ground up. (SUPPLIED)

MORTGAGEE’s Instructions

Auction Saturday 17th May 11.00 AMOpen: By AppointmentAddress: 16 Shea Street

Three Bedroom Timber Home with lounge, kitchen,Bathroom, laundry, WC. Double Brick Garage.Land: 16.7m x 35.05m approx. Close proximity to Schools,Shops and Transport. Suit Owner/Occupier or Investor.TERMS: 10% Deposit. Balance: 30 Days


Step back in time to the 1930s with this unique landmark Spanish Mission-style residence in Werribee Central.

Offered for sale for the first time since it was completed in 1933, “La Paloma” is on a 1331-square-metre block on the corner of Beasley Avenue.

Resplendent with extensive leadlighting, cedar plate racks and picture rails, decorative ceiling panels and equally ornate cornices, the character-filled dwelling has been lovingly maintained in original condition.

It displays many of the style’s trademark

features including triple arches, stucco walls and external arcades. The double-door entry opens to the grand foyer, which also has a cloak cupboard.

Leadlight double doors open on the right to the lounge room. Highlighted by an exposed-brick fireplace with grand timber mantel, it also opens to a patio framed by arches. Another set of double doors lead into the dining room which has a corner fireplace.

The original eat-in kitchen has a 1970s oven in the tiled hearth, and is next to the rear laundry and toilet.

There is also the skylit bathroom with

marble-topped vanity and corner shower, and three double bedrooms to complete the floor plan.

A side gate opens to the 8-metre x 4-metre solar heated in-ground pool which is complemented by a lawned area and brick barbecue.

Extras include ducted heating, refrigerated cooling and roof storage.

Behind neat gardens, the clinker-brick house awaits a new lease of life with a renovation under the existing roofline to create the best of old and new.

Alternatively, the dwelling could be retained

in all its glory and converted to professional suites, subject to council approval.

Investors should note that the rear units, 24a and 24b Market Road, each return $650 a calendar month.

Built in the mid-1960s, each has two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom with laundry facilities, and a car space. Both house long-term tenants happy to stay.

The position will also have more than its fair share of admirers, with Werribee train station, river parklands, milk bar, schools, Werribee Plaza and Watton Street nearby. \

There’s a flavour in wine that exists only in Australia. It’s a mint or eucalyptus character caused by a chemical compound called cineole and

it is found where grapes are grown near eucalypt trees.It can be tasted in wines from the temperate climates

of southern Australia – where we grow our grapes is where gum trees flourish.

Trials by the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) have shown that the closer grapes are grown to gum trees, the higher the concentration of cineole in wine. AWRI reports show there are wine drinkers who love mint in wines – a significant 38 per cent of drinkers in its trials. One of its papers suggests mint is a character winemakers might choose to pursue. But you can have too much of a good thing and, while I’m quite fond of a little mint, it has to be in balance with the wine.

In 2011, winemaker Matt Steel stood up in front of 60 winemakers at a pinot noir workshop and ripped into a wine, during a blind tasting, for being one-dimensional and tasting of mint. A few minutes later, when the wines were revealed, Steel was shocked to find the wine was his. He started to do something about it.

“I vividly recall this one particular wine smelled of a bush block on a hot summer’s day, with a crunchy eucalypt/mint aroma,” says Steel, of Medhurst Wines in the Yarra Valley. “I was highly critical of it – anything that’s so one-dimensional that a single attribute dominates the wine, I don’t really like it. So I led the charge bagging the wine, only to find the wine was mine and my cellar palate was way off.

“It stood to reason, as the block the wine came off has a couple of huge gum trees right in the middle and the northern boundary is lined with blue gums. And, with the prevailing north winds, there’s a fair chance it’s going to get a bit of cineole contact.

“We’re either blessed or cursed by the mint character, depending on which way you look at it,” he says.

Airborne oils from the leaves can deposit on grapes and eucalypt can get into wine as “MOG” – matter other than grapes.

“If you get bark from a gum tree in a ferment you’ll increase the mintiness in the wine and if you get leaves involved, which have the oils in them, well, they’re a definite no-no,’’ Steel says. “Research shows a couple of grams of gum leaves in 500 kilos of grapes can have a significant impact (on the wine).”

Cineole affects pinot noir more than other grapes – it’s such a delicate variety that small things can have a

bigger impact on it than a full-bodied wine such as shiraz.

“My desire as winemaker here is to chase aroma. Mint’s a really strong aroma but it’s not one I’m chasing. I don’t mind it being there, but if it’s dominating I’m disappointed.”

Since 2012 Steele has worked on a theory that rotundone – the peppery component of

cool-climate shiraz – might mask the impact of mint and eucalypt aromas. Results have been so

encouraging that AWRI is now part of Steel’s trials.In 2012 Steel picked fruit from immediately under

some gum trees and kept it separate, fermenting the grapes as whole bunches to encourage the peppery characters. The rest of the vineyard’s grapes were destemmed and made into wine in the normal way.

“We took both wines to the pinot workshop the following year and in the blind tasting they were put in as a pair. Neither of the wines was described as minty,” Steel says.

“The whole bunch brings in a range of other aromas and whether they dominate or mask the mint, it really works for us. As an added bonus, we really like the tannin profile we get from it.” \

“Ibought a Jeep” has become one of the most recognisable automotive catchphrases of modern times, thanks

to some canny advertising by Australian Jeep importer Fiat Chrysler Group.

And boy, haven’t Australians taken it to heart. At last count, Jeep was one of the fastest-growing car brands in the country, with its top-selling Grand Cherokee establishing itself as a leading large four-wheel drive and rivalling traditional top dogs Ford Territory and Toyota Prado.

The origins of the current Grand Cherokee can be traced to an era when Jeep and its Chrysler parent were tucked up in bed with Germany’s Daimler – maker of Mercedes-Benz cars. That relationship ended, and now the American hussy has a new corporate sweetheart, Italy’s Fiat.

But the offspring of the Daimler dalliance lives on in the form of the Grand Cherokee, which shares major components with Mercedes-Benz’s ML-Class luxury SUV.

This cross pollination has some distinct benefits, as the Grand Cherokee inherits Mercedes’ engineering excellence and keeps rugged Jeep DNA.

Unlike some other tougher Jeeps, the Grand Cherokee is built on a platform of pressed steel panels that – theoretically – save weight for a more car-like driving experience.

We are not sure about the weight bit, as the big Grand Cherokee still weighs well north of two tonnes and, by the time it is loaded

up with a full fuel tank, a few passengers and their belongings, we are talking closer to three tonnes.

Mass is the enemy of fuel consumption, and the Grand Cherokee thus is not the most efficient beast in the garage.

Our test car was the flagship sports model, the Grand Cherokee SRT, with its hefty 6.4-litre V8 engine that consumed about 14 litres of high-octane petrol per 100 kilometres during our week in the vehicle, which included a long drive to Mildura. Mercifully,

the engine features cylinder deactivation, switching seamlessly to four-cylinder running in highway cruising to save juice. .

If fuel consumption is a concern, then Jeep offers three more frugal powertrains, including a 3.0-litre V6 diesel that slurps fuel at about half the rate of the hairy-chested V8.

Jeep also offers a range of 4x4 systems and suspension set-ups to suit the owner’s off-road intentions (as well as two-wheel drive for those who have none). Some Jeeps – including some Grand Cherokees – have

the full trail-rated, rock-hopping ability with low-range transfer case and the whole business. The Grand Cherokee SRT, on the other hand, is more bitumen focused, with “on-demand” 4x4 traction for snow, mud, dirt tracks and the like.

The performance credentials of the Grand Cherokee SRT are underscored by the Brembo brake callipers behind the big alloy wheels – evidence that Jeep is not only serious about making this big vehicle swift, but also safe.

The SRT is loaded with a range of up-to-date safety gadgets, including adaptive cruise control, emergency collision warning and blind-spot warning.

We were surprised by the agility of the Grand Cherokee SRT, tracking through road bends with hardly a hint of the body roll that many SUV drivers lament.

A big improvement in the latest Grand Cherokee is its eight-speed automatic transmission. This German ZF unit slices through the gears like a knife through butter.

Inside, leather and shiny metal abound, with a zillion buttons for the numerous controls. The perforated leather seats are not only heated, but also ventilated. A fancy touch screen offers a raft of features, such as the latest connectivity.

In all, the Grand Cherokee SRT is a big, rolling, driving experience. At $77,000 (plus on-road costs), it is a lot of car for the money, but be prepared to wince at the petrol station. \

some light at tunnel’s end FFV

Point Cook su� ered a frustrating 0-4 loss to Melbourne City in FFV state league 4 west on Saturday at Edwards Reserve.

While the scoresheet showed all one-way tra� c, Point Cook assistant coach Darren Cox thought the result � attered City, though he added: “We didn’t gel properly. We are still learning and have a lot of new players. We didn’t take the opportunities when we had them.

“� ey probably had control of the game for about 70 per cent of the time. ”

Cox rued “a very mediocre performance”. “We have a talented squad [but] sometimes

the ball doesn’t bounce your way and the tactics don’t quite work.

“We now have things to build on; I don’t take any loss as a negative.”

Point Cook has three losses and a win a� er four matches and is in the middle of the table.

Cox believes the team can still push for promotion.

“We started this way last year. We tend to start the season o� slowly.”

� is week Point Cook faces � � h-placed Surf Coast.

Hoppers Crossing continued its winning streak in state league 4 west with a 4-2 downing of Brimbank Stallions.

In state league 5 west, Truganina defeated Oak Park 1-0. \

long way to the top for centrals

GDFL

Werribee Centrals know they still have a way to go to match the top teams in the Geelong and District Football League a� er losing to Bell Post Hill at the weekend.

In their � rst real test of the season, Centrals were le� to rue a poor second term at Myers Reserve when they conceded six goals.

In the end those six goals were the di� erence between winning and losing. � e Panthers won 13.9 (87) to 7.10 (62).

At times, Centrals were their own worst enemy, with poor discipline and disposal in front of goal.

While the Centrals fought back in the second half through Shaun McGuiness and Matthew Walson, the Panthers were too strong.

Brad McNicol and Jason Giaini kicked two goals each for Centrals, whose reserves team also lost to the Panthers. In that game, the Panthers kicked the only two goals of the second half, winning 6.10 (46) to 4.8 (32).

� is weekend Centrals face Winchelsea at Galvin Park. \ TM

wind beneath falcon wingsWRFL

Wyndhamvale remains undefeated in Western Region Football League’s division 2 a� er a tight win against West Footscray on Saturday at Wyndham South Oval.

Both teams entered the fray unbeaten, but it was the Falcons who better handled the strong wind , winning by 14 points: 8.12 (60) to 6.10 (46).

Falcons football manager Nathan Evans said he felt his team controlled most of the game.

“� e wind certainly helped us get o� to a good start, but it was the second quarter when we kept them to two goals that cemented the lead. We had chances in the third term to put the game out of reach but missed some opportunities and while in the � nal quarter they kicked a couple, we were able to still have control of the game.

“For other teams the wind is an issue and it makes it di� cult, but as we train in it every week it’s pretty normal for us.”

Evans said going into the match the team had looked to show itself as one of the top sides. “� ere had been a fair bit of talk around about West Footscray and who they had recruited in the o� season. We had been building up con� dence in the � rst couple of weeks against lower teams, so we were keen to make a statement. ”

Paul O’Shea kicked four goals for the Falcons, while Evans said Devan Ellis and Christopher Graham were clearly best on ground.

� is week the Falcons play North Footscray, which defeated Caroline Springs 16.9 (105) to 6.12 (48).

In other division 2 games, Parkside thrashed Tarneit 37.20 (242) to 0.1 (1), while Glenorden remains undefeated with an easy win against North Sunshine: 38.16 (244) to 7.3 (45). \

VAFAWestbourne Grammarians won a second straight game in the Victorian Amateur Football Association’s division 4, with a convincing win against Chadstone at Jordan Reserve. The Grammarians led from start to � nish and extended their lead in every quarter to win 19.17 (131) to 12.5 (77). Jesse Humphreys was best on ground, while Carl Chesterman kicked four goals for the Grammarians. In other division 4 matches, Point Cook lost to Box Hill North by 29 points, 14.6 (90) to 8.13 (61). Matthew Herbertson was the only multiple goal kicker for the Bulldogs with three goals. \

VNLCity West Falcons overcame a slow start against DC North East Blaze to continue its unbeaten run in the Victorian Netball League, winning 46-38. The Falcons were behind at the � rst break, but got themselves in the game to level the scores at half-time and kept the momentum going. Kathleen Knott scored 28 goals for the Falcons. VU Western Lightning wasn’t as lucky, losing to the Peninsula Waves, 58-38. The Lightning were behind from the start, with the Waves outscoring them in every quarter. Kate Thompson scored 19 goals for the Lightning. The win cemented top spot on the ladder for the Falcons while the Lightning fell to ninth. \

NPLWerribee City is in the middle of the pack in the National Premier League following a 4-1 loss to Northcote City on Saturday. Northcote was the stronger team from the start , with two � rst-half goals. Northcote added a further two goals after half-time to take a 4-0 lead. The Bees found their groove late in the game and got on the scoreboard through substitute Simon Zappia in the 80th minute. The loss leaves the Bees seventh on the ladder with three wins and three losses. They face the Goulburn Valley Suns at Galvin Park on Sunday. \

GDFNLWerribee Centrals netballers had a clean sweep against Bell Post Hill in the Geelong and District Football Netball League on Saturday. In a rematch of last year’s A-grade grand � nal, it was the Centrals who again came out on top winning 45-35. In B-grade Centrals won 35-27, the C-grade side won 36-27 and the D-grade side won 41-35. The club’s under-15 and 17 teams also won. \

Men’s hockeyWerribee Tigers got its second win for the season in Men’s Hockey Vic League 1, this time defeating Old Xaverians 5-3 at Koonung Secondary College. The win moves the Tigers to sixth on the ladder. This week the Tigers face Kew at Elgar Park. \

BRIEFStigers inspired by development teamVFL

Werribee Tigers had their best performance of the year, defeating the previously unbeaten Northern Blues in their VFL clash on Saturday night at Avalon Airport Oval.

A� er watching the side’s development team come from 33 points down at half time and win, the senior players continued in similar form, restricting the Blues to only three goals: 20.15 (135) to 3.15 (33).

Tigers coach John Lamont knew the Blues had gone into the game depleted because of injuries to their AFL side, but he didn’t expect the sort of performance his side produced.

“I was pleased with our e� ort to keep the pressure on for the whole game . We only allowed them to kick one goal in each of the

� rst three quarters and they didn’t score one in the � nal term.

“We had a good week on the training track working on being alert and not letting them get any uncontested ball a� er being bitterly disappointed the week before when mistakes cost us the game.”

Lamont said he believed the development side’s win had spurred on the senior players for the “best performance of the year”.

“For our guys to see the development squad turn things around and hear them sing the song … it helped set our boys up.

“It shouldn’t be underestimated what impact it had.”

Lamont said he was pleased with the

spread of goal scorers, including a number of defenders. Ben Warren and Mason Wood both kicked four goals.

“Everyone got on top and played their roles and some of our defenders managed to

run down and get on the scoreboard.“It was such an even contribution

and that’s what we have been looking for.”

Next week the Tigers face Casey Scorpions in Cranbourne.

“It will be a tough game. We’re on two wins and two losses so it takes on

massive importance. “We have the week o� a� er this game, so

we would really like to go into the break 3-2 and get in front on the ledger, which you need to do to play � nals.” \ TM

“everyone played their

roles”



bears coach rapt with young talent

VRL

New Werribee Bears coach Aaron Tiananga is hoping the club’s preseason form continues into the opening round of the Victorian Rugby League season this weekend.

Tiananga, who with his father founded the club in 2008, steps into the top role a� er previously coaching the Bears’ women.

“ Our preseason games have gone well,” Tiananga said. “We have a number of new players and a lot of young ones coming through.

“Phillip Pese, from Altona, has been very good and will be a real play maker.

“Chase Hoare, our state representative, is taking on a senior role, which is good when you have younger players.”

Tiananga said that a� er � nishing � � h last season, the club would be aiming for top four and to be challenging for the premiership.

� e club’s � rst match for the season is on Saturday against Altona Roosters, with the clubs playing for the inaugural Tyrel Hunt memorial trophy.

“Tyrel had some links with Bears when we � rst started and has family members at the club,” Tiananga said. “It’s something special to play for.” \ TM

hot scoring undoes devilsBIG V

� e Werribee Devils had an unwelcome up-close viewing of an excellent shooting display by Diamond Valley in their high-scoring men’s Big V state championship encounter.

� e Devils’ score of 94 would have been enough to win most matches, but the Eagles shot 50 per cent from the � eld to win easily, 121-94, at Community Bank Stadium.

� e teams traded baskets in the � rst term, entering the � rst break with scores level.

In the second, the Eagles started to take control, shooting at a brilliant 65.2 per cent from the � eld to jump out to a 17-point lead

at the main break. Any hopes the Devils had in the second half were quickly dashed as the Eagles hit 42 points for the quarter to extend their lead to 35 .

As small consolation, the Devils won the � nal term 32-24.

� ey had only three players hit double � gures.

Rustin Dowd top-scored with 30 points for the Devils, while Aaron McCuin had 25 and 18 rebounds; Jordan Hughes scored 24 points.

� e Devils women’s division 1 side went down to Craigieburn, 64-56, at home on Sunday.

� e Devils started in the worse possible

way, hitting only two � eld-goal attempts in the � rst term. In the second term, the Devils had more attempts from the � eld but couldn’t reduce the margin.

In the third term, the Devils � nally started to hit some baskets,

levelling the scores going into the � nal stanza.

But despite having more � eld goals in the � nal term, the Devils were unable to secure victory, being outscored 19-11 in the � nal

quarter. Lisa Troyahn was the only player in double

� gures for the Devils with 26 points, and she had 13 rebounds. \

Majak Daw is back in the North Melbourne seniors this week. You have watched him closely over the last few years. What lessons are to be learnt from his journey for young players?

Yes it is great to see Majak get another opportunity at AFL level. He is coming off a PCL reconstruction, so his past 6 months are reflective of his entire career in terms of “lessons”- persevere is themain thing, stick at it, stay on task.Now that is easy to say when you are on an AFL list, and you have any amount of support around you. What about young players at local level as per the question? If you really want something, set some goals and objectives, and then make sure you communicate those objectives to the people who are going to support you. Also, remember that if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Many people have objectives but when things get tough, they give up or take the easy option and put up excuses. Make sure you have people around you that will not tell you want you want to hear! The chances are, the coach is not a d***head like your parents think, more likely the coach knows what he is talking about, and it is your Mum and Dad who cannot see the full picture, because they are “blinded” by their love for you.

So roll up your sleeves, knuckle down andget into it, no excuses

What are your thoughts on the importance of the VFL competition to players, the game and supporters?

The VFL provides the next step for players on the “talented player pathway” from TAC Cup football to the AFL. It provides opportunities for boys that missed out on opportunities at TAC Cup level like Michael Barlow, now at Fremantle, after getting drafted from Werribee. It provides a more professional level of football for those who enjoy that environment, as opposed to dropping back to local level. To supporters? That is a harder one for me to answer, but hopefully people enjoy getting along to VFL football, and enjoy watching high standard football, and enjoy watching AFL listed players. VFL football is hopefully something that young spectators can aspire to.

joy for road warriorsWRFL

For Hoppers Crossing coach Steve Kretiuk, it’s more about how his side performs than whether they get a win.

But the club’s new coach will happily take wins like the one against Port Melbourne at the weekend in Western Region Football League division 1.

In what Kretiuk described as the hardest road trip in the league, the Warriors showed they can match it with the top sides in their 17.17 (119) to 11.7 (73).

“We are going into each game wanting to improve,” the coach said. “As long as we are starting to show improvement, that’s all we worry about.

“On the weekend, we had 75 to 80 per cent of our players contribute … if you have that you will be competitive.”

Kretiuk said that despite being behind at quarter-time, he thought his team was in control from the start.

“It could have gone either way a� er the � rst quarter, but the boys didn’t drop their heads and worked hard on getting the win.”

Going into the game, he thought his players were switched on a� er a disappointing game against St Albans the week before.

“I thought our game was built on our defensive work and our structures,” Kretiuk added.

He nominated former AFL player Wayde Skipper as best on ground, thinking he would only get better a� er experiencing an interrupted preseason.

And he hoped Western Jets selectors were watching Jackson Viola, who again impressed at full-back.

� is week, the Warriors take on Altona, which hammered Yarraville-Seddon 12.16 (88) to 4.5 (29).

“I think it will be a very even contest,” Kretiuk said. “� ey have a number of quality players, but we are going to prepare well.”

Werribee Districts recorded a comfortable 35-point win against Sunshine, 12.19 (91) to 7.14 (56). \

Dogged Jets take the sting out of raysTAC CUP

� e Western Jets ground out a three-point win in tough conditions in the TAC Cup match against Dandenong Stingrays on Saturday,

Showers and very windy conditions at Shepley Oval made it tough for both teams, but the Jets held on to win 7.12 (54) to 7.9 (51).

Jets coach Torin Baker said his side’s ability to make the most of the opportunities

in the � rst half was the di� erence between the two teams in the end, even though the Jets led at every break.

“It was really pleasing to get the win as it was a grind of a game,” he said.

“It was a tough, even clash, which both teams went hard at.

“In the � rst half we made the most of our opportunities [which gave us the lead] and in the � nal term the game opened up and there were more goals for both sides.”

Liam Duggan returned to the Jets from an AIS academy trip to Europe. He added class to the mid� eld and was named best on ground. � e win moves the Jets to � � h on the ladder with eight points, the same number as the four teams below them, and behind Oakleigh Chargers, Calder Cannons, Sandringham and Geelong.

� e Jets’ next match is against 10th-placed Gippsland Power at Burbank Oval on Saturday. \ TM
