Poached egg
LIFE among the reeds of the Edithvale wetlands can be just as misleading as the serene gliding of a swan across the waters. Hidden below the surface, the longnecked bird’s legs are paddling at a furious rate. Often lurking in reeds near the waterline are foxes, ready to snatch an unwary water bird or their chicks. The dangers in the wetlands also come from above as became apparent for this pair of ducks sitting on top of their nesting box, well clear of the water and seemingly out of harm’s way. Enter the raven. No slouch when it comes to flying or grabbing a quick takeaway snack, the raven first chased off the ducks, took a look around for danger and then squeezed into the nesting box. One quick look out to make sure the coast was clear and, with one duck egg in its bill, the raven was off, either for a home delivery of its own or to find a safe place to enjoy a meal. Luckily for the ducks they will probably be left with enough eggs, and subsequent ducklings, to not notice their loss. But that’s life in the wetlands, idyllic one minute, brutal the next.

Investigation called into Cove developments Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au BUILDING plans at the Cove precinct in Patterson Lakes will be subject to a Kingston Council investigation. Two 10 storey developments are planned at the Cove site, including a 66 dwelling building proposed for 64 Pier One Drive, and a 142 dwell-
ing building proposed for 54 Pier One Drive. A three storey building with 28 dwellings is planned for 115A McLeod Road. A reduction in car parking at the site was also sought, but voted down by councillors in May. The reasons given were that a parking reduction would “detrimentally affect the amenity of the neighbourhood” and be “an over-
development of the site”. That decision is subject to a VCAT appeal. Kingston Council has called an investigation into the planning process at the Patterson Lakes site. Council called a special meeting on 14 October and voted unanimously to approve a motion that read “in light of the fact that the CEO has since commenced an investigation into the
Cove development, council note that initial findings are to come back within 60 days.” The motion also read that “council [will] make public all information relating to the development applications in the CDZ and Endeavour Cove precinct that is possible noting many residents already have some of the information through disclosure in the
VCAT proceedings” and that “officers [will] have a scoping session at a councillor information session to draft a review and enhancement of process relating to the management of such planning applications, and accountability within the organisation and that the lawyer handling the investigation be invited to be involved.” Continued Page 4

Boatworks demolition underway Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au DEMOLITION has begun at the former site of Pompei’s Marine Boat Works and Landing in Mordialloc. The site, on crown land, was sold in December 2017 for $2.85 million. An application was being considered last year for a four storey apartment building with 13 units on the site. Fences went up at the site earlier this month along with danger signs reading “demolition work in progress”. A push earlier this year to have the site heritage listed proved unsuccessful. In May, the Victorian Heritage Council’s registrations and reviews committee rejected a proposal to include the boatworks site in Mordialloc on the state’s heritage register. Submissions made in objection to the recommendation of Heritage Victoria’s executive director to not list the site on the state’s heritage register were made by Kingston Council, the Mordialloc District Historical Society, and Leon Pompei, the son of ‘Mr Mordialloc’ Jack Pompei. A heritage overlay would have ensured that a planning permit was required to subdivide or consolidate land, demolish or remove a building, construct a building, externally alter a building, construct or carry out works, construct or display a sign, or externally paint an unpainted surface. The Heritage Council noted in their final determination that “the executive director acknowledged that [Pompei’s Landing] has a direct and strong association with Mordialloc and Victorian boating communities and is regarded by the Mordialloc community as a landmark. However, found that while the place has strong associations with boat building and bayside recreation, the ability to interpret these experiences has diminished due to the changed conditions of the place. Further, the social significance of the
Principal gets top prize MORDIALLOC College principal Michelle Roberts has been recognised with the top prize at an education awards ceremony last week. Ms Roberts took home the award for the most outstanding secondary principal and the Lindsay Thompson award at the 2019 Victorian Education Excellence Awards. The Lindsay Thompson award recognises “an award winner whose contribution has been judged to be the most outstanding to Victorian government school education.” Ms Roberts told guests at the ceremony in her acceptance speech that “it is certainly a huge honour to win this award”. “It is a privilege to be Principal of Mordialloc College and a principal within the state education system,” she said. “I have asked a lot of my community over the past nine years and I am so proud of what my staff and students have been able to achieve at Mordialloc during this time to make it a leading choice in education for our local community and beyond.” The ceremony was held at the Regent Theatre on 25 October.

place does not resonate beyond these communities (“Troubled water for Pompei’s heritage push”, The News, 29/5/19).” On 24 June, Kingston Council voted to “encourage the owner of the Pompei boatshed site to consider including in their plans to develop the site appropriate commemoration of the Pompei boat building heritage and if possible incorporate the main boatshed building in the planned building.” The motion was moved by Cr Rosemary West, who said “unfortunately, the building has been
sold and it is going to be developed, however the best we can hope now is that council can encourage the landowner to incorporate that building in his proposed future development.” Signs placed at the demolition site featured the logo of property developer Shenfield Property Construction. Questions sent to Shenfield Property Construction about the extent of the demolition works were not answered before publication deadline. Comment from Kingston Council was also sought, but not received before publication deadline.

‘Errors’ may have occurred in planning process Continued from Page 1 Cr David Eden told council that “many of us are familiar with what we refer to as the Cove development. We’re not necessarily talking about the Cove Hotel, we’re talking about a particular application which is live at the moment and is before the tribunal.” “It came to the attention of many residents and councillors some time ago, and given the significance of the application there was a lot of interest from local residents and a lot of concern about the particular building heights within the precinct,” he said. “What we have found in the last month or so is many planning controls may not have been applied as they
should have, and there were requests made to investigate this further. We’re noting that has commenced in the last week or so.” Cr Tamsin Bearsley said “we understand some errors have occurred, so we really need to understand how those errors have occurred, and learn how to prevent that from happening in the future.” “Its important as well that this isn’t seen as a witch hunt, but a learning experience,” she said. The mayor Georgina Oxley said “I’m not sure really where to start in this whole process that’s been very convoluted. (...) It’s very disappointing that we as an organisation have not
been able to respond to the needs of our community.” “Whether we agree or disagree with outcomes or not we have not been able to respond to information requests from our community, and that has led us to this point. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad place to be in to have an investigation to understand what has happened in this process.”

Drug charge A BONBEACH man has been arrested as part of a drug investigation. Caulfield Divisional Response Unit officers arrested the 51-year-old man in Cambridge Drive, Glen Waverley on Thursday 24 October. He was charged with possess drug of dependence. After the man’s arrest, police executed a warrant in Sutton Court, Glen Waverley and seized cash and drugs. After the execution of the warrant, they arrested a 33-year-old man and 27-year-old woman from Glen Waverley. They were both charged with trafficking and possess proceeds of crime. The Bonbeach man was bailed to appear at the Dandenong Magistrate’s Court on 16 December. The arrests formed part of ongoing police operation Faze.
Car used for crime A GREEN Holden Commodore stolen from Glen Huntly is believed by police to have been involved in thefts from motor vehicles in Dandenong, Pearcedale, and Carrum Downs. The alleged thefts occurred between 20 September and 25 September. The car was last seen with the stolen number plates 1MZ3AM. Police say the car had distinctive damage to the roof and bonnet. Information to Crime Stoppers.
Assault investigated THE assault of a man on the St Kilda foreshore is being investigated by police. The 51-year-old South Yarra man was sleeping on the grass near the West Beach Bathers Pavilion, 24 October, when he was kicked in
the head numerous times. The victim suffered a broken nose, chipped teeth, and a swollen ear as a result of the attack. The man’s bag was stolen by the offender, which contained his Australian passport and a small amount of money. Port Phillip Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating the incident, and are searching for a male offender. They would also like to speak to two people who they believe may have witnessed the incident and helped the victim. Investigators are appealing for anyone with information, any dash cam footage or any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
Charged and charged IT was a case of deja vu for police who pulled over a man on Frankston-Dandenong Rd, Seaford last week. The 38-year-old Rye man’s blue Commodore was intercepted at around 2am after police spotted him driving without headlights on. The man allegedly returned a positive drug test and the Commodore was found to have suspended registration due to not complying with a previous defective vehicle notice. Police were also surprised to see that the man had run wires out of the bonnet to use his car battery to create a makeshift phone charger. Police allege that this is not the first time they have caught the man using the makeshift charger. In August they allegedly caught the driver doing the same thing, and impounded his vehicle. The man told police last week that he was driving to Seymour to drop off a motorbike in his trailer to a friend who had bought it. The man was released pending summons for drug driving, unregistered vehicle and trailer,
unsafe vehicle, no headlights at night, and insecure load in the trailer.

A boomer remembers the night’s most important dance Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au
MURRAY Walding’s The Last Dance revolves around life as a teenager growng up in a bayside suburb. Picture: Supplied
AWKWARD? Yes. Self-conscious? Of course. But, inwardly, there was lots of self-esteem, unlike many of today’s teenagers who are victims to the pressures of social media. These are some of the standout differences that become obvious in a baby boomer’s reflections on life as a teenager while growing up in bayside Melbourne. Murray Walding and his mates grew up around Edithvale and wanted to be part of the surf culture. Friends at school, they expanded their world as soon as one of them could drive and had access to a car. Suddenly the surf was within reach – Point Leo and Phillip Island and later along the west coast to Lorne. Walding has documented their search for fulfilment, recognition and, yes, adulthood, in the appropriately named book The Last Dance with the catchy sub-title of A World of Girls, Go-Gos, Gangs & Giant Waves. Their search for the heart of Saturday night began with lining up outside a dance venue, more often than not a lifesaving club, church hall or former cinema. Out of necessity the dance had to be within walking distance of home. Once inside the darkened interior Walding and his mates would gawk at the girls, sometimes sauntering over to ask for a dance. If the girls stopped looking back or turned to talk to a girlfriend, the walk across the floor would turn into a sheepish walk past, as if on the way to somewhere else. The Last Dance is a quintessential chronicle of the rite of passage common around coastal Australia. It delves into the sometimes-brutal tribalism of rockers, surf-
ers and sharpies. Still surfing at 68, Walding recently underwent a hip operation, something not uncommon for long-term surfers. He moved to Lorne in the early 1970s (where he also met his wife-to-be, Sharon) after attending Frankston Teachers’ College, now Monash University’s Peninsula campus. “I’ve been in Lorne since way back and have been around the edges of the surf industry since back then, but for the past couple of years I’ve been working as a writer – writing chiefly about surf and beach culture, as well as Australian rock music posters,” Walding says. The Last Dance is his fourth book and was originally planned to be about “the wild years of Melbourne nightlife”. But the more Walding started gathering thoughts and memories, the more he realised it was “a coming of age story set against Melbourne’s discos and dances, and also about surfing”. While there is a bit of artistic license taken in direct quotes and venues, Walding confesses to having “a very detailed memory, which is both a blessing and a curse”. His research at the State Library and listening to compilations of music from the 1970s took him back “to an exact place and time that became a very weird and at times emotional experience”. His research revealed Melbourne had 650 venues between 1958 and 1972, “a phenomenon that had never been fully explored”. There was plenty of material covering “pop and rock gods” but nothing about “how things looked from out on the dance floor and how teenagers of the time interacted”. “I also met lots of fascinating and slightly odd-ball people, some were dodgy
underworld figures, and others were deranged promoters, or go-go girls, bouncers, musos and punters. As much as I’d like those stories to be heard I don’t think it would be wise to put them into print,” Walding says. “The book looks at life growing up in Edithvale and the dances there [Kingston] as well as other venues such as Stonehenge and Shindig and Penthouse.” The relaxing of liquor laws and the emergence of club and pub venues saw the demise of the local dances that bracketed the lives of Walding and his mates. Even the New Year’s Eve lockout at the Great Ocean Road entrance to Lorne is a distant memory. “They’re not like that anymore. The Falls Festival keeps a lot of the kids occupied and there hasn’t been a road block down the street in maybe 25 years,” Walding says. Although a long-standing teacher, Walding ran a surf shop in Lorne and another specialising in original vintage beach posters, but now he “just writes or sells posters online”. Walding says The Last Dance has resonated with many readers “fondly remembering” those first, sometimes awkward but character-building times, when a night was counted a success if you were standing next to a dance partner as the last chords faded in the speakers. “The last dance of the night was the most important in lots of ways. If you hadn’t managed a dance by then, the night was a failure.” The Last Dance is now available for $34.95 at Beaumaris Books, Grumpy Swimmer in Elwood, Thesaurus in Brighton and The Avenue Book Stores, Albert Park and Elsternwick.
Cubby donated KIDS at Nepean School want to give thanks to a group of unknown young people who created and donated a cubby house to them. The cubby house, styled like a van, was created by unemployed youth as part of the Envision Work for the Dole scheme. The team got to work on the project after Envision was approached by Nepean School’s maintenance manager earlier this year. The house was installed at the Seaford school this month, much to the delight of the children. Nepean School is a school for kids with disabilities.
The cubby house has been fitted out with wheelchair wide doors so that all kids can enjoy playing in it.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Seaford school to be proceeded with immediately Compiled by Cameron McCullough A DEPUTATION, introduced by the Hon. A. Downward, waited on the Minister of Education on Wednesday last. The school committee was represented by Cr. Armstrong and Messrs Klauer, Moffatt and H. J. McCulloch, while Messrs Hunter, Martin and Laing attended from the Progress Association. Cr Armstrong followed Mr Downward in making out a strong case for definite and prompt action, and all the other speakers ably supported. In reply the Minister said that instructions had been given to purchase Muntz’s site, and the school would be erected immediately negotiations were concluded. The deputationists warmly thanked the Minister for his decision to proceed with the building at once, as the school was an urgent necessity. *** MR J. McComb, having disposed of his property, “Pine Hill” Moorooduc is holding a clearing sale on Wednesday, 12th November, the auctioneers being The Gippsland and Northern Co-operative Selling and Insurance Co. Ltd. *** THE usual Monthly meeting of the Frankston branch of Returned Soldiers’ Association will be held on Monday 10th November. Members of the Fathers’ Association are invited to be present and refreshments will be provided. *** The next ordinary monthly meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council will take place on Thursday, 6th Nov. *** IN the past the “Standard” has been
officially published on Saturdays although as a fact the journal each week is printed and in the post every Friday evening. To avoid misunderstanding which it is found occasionally arises with advertisers, it has been decided to definitely announce the time of publication as Friday. Advertisers and contributors will therefore please note that the Standard is published every Friday evening and late advertisements cannot be taken after 12 noon on that day. *** THE Somerville St Andrew’s Ladies committee have organised a spring show to be held in the Horticultural Hall Somerville, on Friday 7th November. The show will be opened by Capt S. M. Bruce. M.H.R. at 7.30pm. The committee, with Mrs Geo. Shepherd as secretary, have arrangements well forward, numerous entries are expected for various awards to be offered for cookery, butter and eggs, vegetables, pot plants and cut flowers, hand needlework and schoolwork. On Saturday afternoon and evening a peace fair will be held. Mrs Chas. Murray is the President and Mrs Philbrick and J. S. Murray vice-presidents. *** IT has been officially announced that the writs of the forthcoming elections will be issued on Monday November 3rd. The Commonwealth Rolls will therefore close at 6 o’clock pm on that date, and claims for enrollment received after that hour and date will be ineffective. It therefore behooves all who are not yet enrolled to forward claims for en-
rollment to reach the registrar not later than the time and date specified. *** MR Chris. Mudd F.L.S. F.R.G.S., Home Mission Deputation will conduct both services at the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday next. He will also lecture in the church on Wednesday evening next at 8pm on “The Burning Ship”. There will be no charge for admission, but a collection will be made for Home Missions. The lecture is full of thrilling incident, and it is to be hoped that the attendance will be large. *** EDWIN Carsin’s Comedy company will be touring the Peninsula starting at Crib Point, on Monday, November the 10th. Mr Carson has secured the rights for production of London’s latest live wire Topical Screamer “North East Lynne.” The farcical comedy is of four acts, and ten scenes, on the Somme and the “Rose of No Man’s Land” depicting realistic conditions which the boys were under while in action. The Comedy is claimed to be one of the funniest ever submitted and as the members have all been on active service a bumper attendance will have the opportunity of spending a night of mirth with this talented organization. *** A YOUTH named Jensen was arrested at Frankston this week by Senr Constable Bray on a charge of horse stealing. He appeared before Mr Lasslett J.P. on Thursday morning and was remanded. It is alleged that the accused annexed
a horse from the Dandenong district and sold it later for £5. *** AT last it seems likely that efforts to revive the Frankston Brass Band will prove successful. Mr C. Willox, who is a great enthusiast, has been negotiating with Mr Harry A. Blaskett who was bandmaster of one of the Military Bands in France, and is now a resident of Carrum Downs. Mr Blaskett possesses high credentials and is willing to assist in re-establishing the local band. A public meeting to consider the question has been convened for Wednesday evening next in the Mechanics’ Hall. It is to be hoped that the public will attend in large numbers and help the movement along. *** A MEETING of delegates to the Peninsula Cricket Association was held on Saturday evening last in the Hastings Hall. Mr Geo. Keast, Somerville (President), occupied the chair, and delegates were present from Frankston, Somerville, Tyabb, Hastings and French Island. Mr Austin, Frankston, was elected vice-president of the association, and acknowledged the honour done to him and the club be represented. A code of rules for the carrying out of a competition for premiership among the Peninsula clubs was arranged. It was decided that at the end of the competition the two leading clubs should play a final for the premiership, the original leaders having a right to demand another grand final if defeated. It was decided that all affiliation fees
must be paid before the play begins, and also players must be registered in the Association’s books before playing. Fixtures were arranged for the first round of play, Frankston having a bye on the first Saturday (Nov. 1st), and meeting Somerville on Frankston ground on 8th November. The President donated two trophies for batting and bowling averages respectively. It was decided that the winner of the former must have played in at least half the matches of the season, and that to win the bowling trophy a player must have delivered at least 50 overs. In view of the cost and scarcity of cricket balls, it was decided that varnished balls of quality and condition approved by both captains should be allowed in competition matches. *** NOTICE. A Rule to administer the Estate of EDWIN THOMAS SMITH late of A.I.F. abroad, Soldier; formerly of Carrum, Laborer, deceased, intestate who died on the 17th March 1918 has been granted to me, and Creditors, Next of Kin, and all others having claims against the Estate are required to send in particulars of their claims to the Curator of the Estates of Deceased Persons, No. 483 Collins Street, Melbourne, on or before the 15th December 1919 or they may be excluded front the distribution of the Estate when the assets are being distributed.

Somerville chase down Red Hill, Seaford Tigers just get across line By Brodie Cowburn
PENINSULA
SOMERVILLE have chased down Red Hill to claim an impressive win in their first two day outing for the season. With a target of 194 to meet, Somerville started poorly when they lost an opener for a duck. Their other opener Jayde Herrick did better, scoring 35 runs to give his team a little bit of momentum. A strong middle order performance sealed the victory for Somerville, with each of their batsmen from number three to number seven contributing with scores of over 25. Somerville ended up securing victory with five wickets and five overs to spare. At Ditterich Reserve, Main Ridge chalked up an easy win over Pearcedale. Pearcedale were sent packing for just 87 on day one. And with Main Ridge starting day two at 1/59, the result seemed a sure thing before a ball was bowled. Batsman Michael Holmes made the day his own for Main Ridge, scoring 84 runs. His tally alone was almost enough to topple their opponents. Main Ridge ended up declaring at 2/185, easily claiming a first innings win. Pearcedale came in for a second innings and batted out the day, finish-

ing at 8/118. Pines took out a win over Moorooduc thanks to a stunning performance from Damien Lawrence. He scored 95 runs, including 8 fours and 6 sixes, to help his side chase down Moorooduc’s total of 179. A weather hampered two day contest between Heatherhill and Long Island ended in a draw.

SEAFORD Tigers just scraped over the line in a thriller against Delacombe Park last weekend. Delacombe Park made sure the Tigers would have their work cut out for them on day two, setting them a tough target of 232 to chase down. The Tigers’ run chase started off in shaky fashion, and at 4/78 they needed a big push from their middle order to get back on track. David James stood up for the Tigers, putting together a brilliant innings of 86 to give the Tigers momentum. James hit 6 fours and 4 sixes during his impressive innings. Once his wicket fell the Tigers looked wobbly again, and at 9/186 with 47 runs to go to win looked as if they would fall short. A brilliant last wicket partnership saved the day for Seaford Tigers, and they ended up getting the win in the final over with just one wicket in hand.

30 October 2019
Despite a spirited showing by Mt Martha, Rosebud were able to defend their total of 253 runs. Mt Martha’s first three batsmen fell cheaply, but a strong middle order performance put them back in contention. The mountain proved too tall for Mt Martha to climb though, and they ended up bowled out for 202. Dromana were able to lock up a win at home against Carrum, defending their first day total of 219. Carrum ended up all out for 181 runs. Zacc Klan took five wickets for the winning Dromana side. Hastings also wrapped up a win at home, chasing down Crib Point’s first innings total of 138. Robert Hearn was the pick of the batsmen, scoring 77 runs.
SUB DISTRICT
BALNARRING have secured an outright win over Skye with a thoroughly dominant performance. After scoring 320 runs on day one, Balnarring proved just as dominant with ball in hand on day two. Skye were sent packing for just 24 runs in their first innings. Their highest scoring batsman put six runs on the board, and five of their batsmen were dismissed for ducks. Skye were sent back in when the follow on was enforced, and the bad times continued. They were bowled
out for 46 off just 16 overs. When the sun set at Balnarring Reserve, the home side had claimed the win by an innings and 250 runs. Things were more competitive between Boneo and Tootgarook, as Boneo were able to hold on to defend their first day total of 176 runs. Tootgarook ended up falling 20 runs short of a good result, and were bowled out for 156. Cameron Williams and Jack Beale did the damage, taking four wickets each for Boneo. At Bunguyan Reserve, an electrifying century from opener Nick Taranto helped Tyabb chase down Ballam Park’s total. Taranto scored 110 not out, helping his side to a total of 2/200 and an eight wicket win. He hit 14 fours during his innings. Carrum Downs had little trouble reaching their target of 100 runs against Rye. They surpassed Rye’s total with seven wickets to spare. Frankston YCW’s clash with Seaford was rained off.
PROVINCIAL
BADEN Powell have held on by the skin of their teeth to claim a one run win over Baxter. Baden Powell did well on day one, scoring 171 runs thanks to a big total of 81 from Rhys Elmi.
Baxter’s run chase started poorly when they lost their opener for a duck, but a strong 84 run partnership between Travis Sawers and Chris Brittain got things back on track. Doing well at 1/85, Baxter quickly fell to 4/94 and their run chase looked in a little more trouble. None of Baxter’s other batsmen were able to go on to get a big total, and at 9/166 it was down to the final two batsmen to get the six runs needed to win. The tail order couldn’t finish the job, and Baden Powell ended up bowling out Baxter for 170, just one run shy of a tie. At Alexandra Park, Mornington did well to defend their total of 206 against Flinders. Michael Heib was impressive with the ball for Mornington, posting figures of 6/54 off his 23 overs. He helped his side bowl out Flinders for 144, 63 runs short of a win. At David Macfarlane Reserve, Sorrento were able to defeat Langwarrin by chasing down their day one total of 187. The Sharks got the win with six wickets in hand. Robert Wilson top scored with 65. Despite dominating on day one and setting a target of 300, Peninsula OB didn’t get a chance to defend their total against Mt Eliza. Their clash was rained off and declared a draw.

Stubley, Guy, Harrington, Prescott SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie ANDY Stubley, Keegan Guy and Matt Harrington are wanted men and Mornington is leading the chase to sign them. Stubley and Guy meet with Mornington boss Adam Jamieson this week and are part of an ambitious plan which the progressive State 1 club hopes will take it into the NPL. “Andy is a flying machine who works really hard at both ends of the ground and can go past players like they’re not there so I think he’ll complement us in the way I want us to set up but obviously I need to sign him first,” Jamieson said. Guy has tasted senior football with Langwarrin and is one of the most talented teenagers in peninsula ranks. The 17-year-old has been in the NPL under-20 system for the past two seasons having been signed from Bentleigh Greens by former Langy under-20s coach and current Frankston Pines boss Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor. Guy has played for Langy in FFA Cup matches and has come off the bench for the seniors. He was Langy’s top scorer in the under-20s last season with 17 goals and was runner-up in the best and fairest and player’s player of the year awards. Harrington is expected to train with Mornington next month. The teenager earned a reputation as an impact player at Strikers last season often coming off the bench and running riot down the right-hand side. Many at Strikers think that he could have been given more game time and Jamieson is keen to use him in a wide attacking role. Last week Jamieson fended off overtures from other clubs to win the race to sign striker Dejan Radojicic from Casey Comets. Skye United was among the clubs to have spoken to Radojicic but wasn’t confident of signing him. “Yeah we spoke to Dejan but there was a list the length of my arm chasing someone of his quality and we were probably at the bottom of it but it was well worth a shot,” Skye head coach Phil McGuinness said. Radojicic and Jamieson first linked at Frankston Pines years ago and the Dallas Brooks boss was keen to clinch his signature. “I’ve known Dejan for a long time and I’ve watched him over a number of years,” Jamieson said. “I think technically he’s a very, very good player. “He finds space that not many other
Top targets: From left, Andy Stubley (Casey Comets), Matt Harrington (Peninsula Strikers) and John Prescott (Peninsula Strikers). Pictures: John Punshon
players do, he reads the game brilliantly and he now scores goals. “He can play up high or in behind the front men so he presents us with different options.” Jamieson also is tracking a midfielder but remained tight-lipped when asked about his identity. In NPL2 news star Peninsula Strikers’ forward John Prescott is training at Lawton Park and will be joined by other triallists early next month. Prescott and Langy assistant coach Jamie Skelly worked together at Casey Comets and when Skelly switched to Strikers he took the big Englishman with him. It’s already been reported that Langy has lost striker Max Etheridge who has returned to England so Prescott is hoping to convince gaffer Scott Miller that he’s the man to fill the vacancy. In NPLW news Southern United player-coach Melissa Maizels has signed a contract with Melbourne Victory for the W-League season which starts next month. Southern prepared for such an eventuality by hiring two-time NPLW Coach of the Year Brian Roberts as its technical director and he’ll fill in for Maizels when needed to minimise disruption to the club’s pre-season program.

by clubs are responsible for supplying information about top scorers. Referees are responsible for best and fairest votes and are expected to lodge that information on a match-by-match basis. It’s not unusual for FV to be forced to chase up both the best and fairest and scorer information after the season has ended contributing to the much criticised delay in publishing the final results. And sometimes the wrong winners have been announced. Take season 2014 for example when Daniel Attard of Skye United won the Golden Boot award for State 4 South. “I won the award on 12 goals but Marcus Roberts from Keysborough was filthy because he scored 15 goals that year and should have won,” Attard said. FV wrongly listed Roberts as only scoring 11 goals that season. Keysborough acknowledged the error in a facebook post on 14 October 2014 which read: “Congratulations to Marcus Roberts who took out second place in the FFV Golden Boot. Marcus is actually the FFV top scorer but due to a clerical error missed out on four goals being entered.” The federation was informed of the error but took no action.

youngster Zach Karolidis who played with Langwarrin under-20s last season. Somerville has secured most of last season’s championship-winning squad and work on upgrading the clubrooms at Tyabb Central Reserve started last week. In State 5 news Rosebud started preseason training last week and senior coach Pat Sabatino is “in the hunt for new players.” He can be contacted on 0406 795 078. Meanwhile the long wait for FV to organise State League best and fairest and Golden Boot award lists finally ended last week when the state federation posted the information weeks after the league season ended. There was little joy for local clubs but Mornington veteran Craig Smart was runner-up in the State 1 SouthEast best and fairest count while teammate Josh Hine finished runner-up in the Golden Boot award. Mitch Blake of Skye United was runner-up in State 3 South-East’s Golden Boot award while veteran Somerville striker Mark Pagliarulo was the second top scorer in State 5 South.

Southern’s trials have been completed at Monterey Reserve and the club will start training at its new facility at Casey Fields next month. In State 2 news Skye United wants to sign midfielder Kevin Duffy from St Kilda Celts. St Kilda is believed to be struggling with a considerable debt owed to Football Victoria and rumour has it that players are still owed match payments from last season. Duffy’s brother Stephen assists Phil McGuinness with Skye’s senior squad and played an important role in the club’s promotion from State 3 this year. “We are aiming high and trying to bring in the right type of players,” McGuinness said. “I don’t see us signing many so we definitely need to be precise in what we are looking for. “Kevin Duffy is a player I really like and can play in many positions so he would fit perfectly with our current squad of players. “We tried to get him last year but I was a bit slow off the mark and it also can be challenging trying to convince players to leave State 1 and join a club in State 2.” In State 4 news Somerville Eagles are in talks with former Rosebud Heart

Country Cups captured by Rawiller and McGill HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou UP-AND-COMING Morningtonbased apprentice jockey, Campbell Rawiller, scored the biggest win of his early career by taking out the St Arnauds Cup on Saturday 26 October. It was fitting that Rawiller took out his first country cup at the same track he won his first trial at earlier in the year. The now three kilo claiming apprentice made the most of his final meeting with his four kilo claim to lead all the way aboard the Kevin Corstens-trained Surreal Image. A late surge from the O’Sullivan-trained Patch Adams made it an interesting finish but the gutsy Surreal Image managed to cling onto the victory to win by a nose. Rawiller said it was such a thrill to reach what was a major goal for the young apprentice. “It was obviously very exciting with it being my main ride of the day,” Rawiller said. “To come back and win the Cup after winning my first trial there was great as that’s where it all sort of started. The only query was that the horse was stepping up to the distance for the first time but all honours to him - he was very tough in the way he won.” Having piloted the four-year-old gelding to a dominant four-length victory at Manangatang, Rawiller said he had a bit of confidence in the horse heading into the Cup. “He’s a horse that likes to get along with it and has to settle on his own terms - you can’t fight it. He looked like one of the main hopes as he wouldn’t
be challenged for the lead but it was really if he’d see out the trip,” he said. “We did do quite a bit of work early. He jumped and hit the gates and got firing, and then took a bit to bring back under me but once he got settled he really hit the lines strongly.” To follow on from Rawiller’s success, the apprentice’s master, Logan McGill, went on to claim a country cup of his own by taking out the $200,000 Listed Sale Cup on Sunday 27 October. Ridden by jockey Stephen Baster, the McGill-trained Gold Fields sat outside the leader before giving a kick in the straight to score by three-quarters-ofa-length over the Tasmanian-visitor, Mandela Effect. The Sale Cup win was the third country cup that the seven-year-old gelding has claimed in his 45-start career - the other two being the 2018 Wodonga Gold Cup and the 2017 Ballan Cup at Geelong. Mornington-based trainer Logan McGill said it was great to land a Listed race with such a consistent galloper. “There were a couple in the race that we were wary of but he’s just so honest,” McGill said “It was his first Listed win and he certainly deserves it! He’s been so consistent the whole way through and been racing in great form.” The $30,000 purchase has now taken his total prize money passed the $500,000 mark and bought up his 10th win with the victory in the Cup. McGill said the Kilmore Cup will likely be the next target before potentially attempting to defend his Wodonga Cup title.
Dream realised on the third BILL Philip realised every golfers’ dream of a hole-in-one earlier this month but admits he took a long time to achieve the honour – 91 years. “It was my first hole-in-one … and the last,” quipped the Mornington resident who has a 36 handicap and has been playing 70 years. Mr Philip and regular partner Brian Randall had teed off on the Peninsula Golf Club’s south course par-3 third hole of 145 metres when he achieved the “ace”. Sadly, he didn’t see the ball actually drop in. “We walked up but I couldn’t find the ball and was looking for it over the back of the green when Brian [who’s only 88 years old] said: ‘Oh, you’d better look in the hole!’ “It was a thrill of course. I’m not a good golfer so it must have been a fluke.” Son Andrew Philip says he did some “extensive Google research” and found only one other “senior’s” hole-in-one in Australia – in Melbourne last year. “However, that one was a woman only 90 years old who only drove the ball 97 metres,” Andrew said. “While it was very impressive it was not the record that Bill quietly achieved three weeks ago.” Andrew said his father was a “humble person who has made many contributions to the communities he has been associated with over his 91 years – and he never toots his own horn! “His response to my mother, Mary Lou Philip, when she asked how his

game went that day was: “I didn't play that well overall ... but oh yes I did get a hole-in-one on the third”. “His is the typical dry wit of a humble man.” To celebrate his “ace” Mr Philip, who is also a member of the famed Royal Melbourne Golf Club, and Mr Randall shouted the bar whiskeys when they finished. “Golf is a fantastic game,” he said. “The handicap system means you can play with some really good players off even single-figure handicaps and still be competitive.” Stephen Taylor
