Community shines bright Community resilience in the face of life’s challenges under lockdown will be celebrated in the lead-up to Christmas. Central West Shopping Centre in Braybrook is calling for creative children and community groups to collaborate on ‘The Star Project’. Anyone who would like to contribute is being invited to decorate Christmas Stars that will fill the ceilings of Central West as the days until Christmas count down. Central West marketing manager Gabriella Bowman said 2020 has been a tough year by anyone’s measure. “We look forward to giving Christmas a little extra boost of gratitude and sparkle,” she said. The centre is also asking people to include a word or two describing the feelings, thoughts and skills that they have relied on during the year. Stars can be collected from stores or central management and should be returned as soon as possible, to be ready for display from the third week of November. JASPER AND HUGO

Metro lockdown lifted By Goya Dmytryshchak Melburnians are today celebrating after the end of a 16-week lockdown, with cafes, restaurants and pubs to reopen but some limits on household visits remain. Victoria on Tuesday recorded no new cases of coronavirus or deaths for the second consecutive day since June 9. To date, 817 people have died from coronavirus in Victoria. Premier Daniel Andrews said under the third step, from 11.59pm on Tuesday, Melbourne would move from “stay home” to “stay safe”, with no restrictions on reasons to leave home.
However, the 25-kilometre travel limit from home and restrictions on travelling between Melbourne and regional Victoria remain. Two adults and their dependant children will be able to visit another household, with only one “visiting event” permitted each day. Visits must occur within the 25-kilometre limit. “I know the thing many people are missing is having people over to visit but, as we’ve seen, this virus is at its most dangerous when we’re indoors and relaxed and comfortable,” Mr Andrews said. “Workplaces will no longer need to be on the permitted work list to open and the ability to work will change to ‘if you can work from
home you must work from home’. “While the boundary is in place, work permits will still be required for workers from Melbourne travelling into regional Victoria and vice versa.” Mr Andrews said Melbourne’s cafes, restaurants and pubs could reopen with outdoor caps of 50 patrons and indoor limits of 20. Beauty and personal care services could resume. Outdoor contact sport for those aged 18 and under will also be permitted, along with non-contact sport for adults. Personal training, fitness and dance classes are allowed outside with up to 10 people, and up to 50 people are allowed at outdoor pools.
Outdoor entertainment venues, including libraries and community venues, can start hosting visitors. Mr Andrews said up to 20 people would be allowed for outdoor religious ceremonies and up to 10 inside. Weddings can have 10 people, and funerals 20. “From 8 November, and if we can continue driving case numbers down, the 25-kilometre limit will come off and Melbourne will be able to meet regional Victoria at the same level,” Mr Andrews said. Mr Andrews said he would provide an update on November 8 on the timelines and thresholds for taking the last step.

COVID-19 hits council coffers By Benjamin Millar The COVID-19 crisis has sucked millions of dollars from Maribyrnong council’s revenue stream, according to the council’s annual report. The Maribyrnong City Council Annual Report for 2019-2020 reveals a shortfall of more than $4 million in user fees in the year to June 30 due to the extended shutdown of council facilities such as Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre. A report to last week’s council meeting
noted that although the council reported a $13.79 million budget surplus, this was adjusted to an underlying deficit of $0.41 million. “The main contributing item to this deficit was the impact of COVID-19 on council user fees,” it stated. The council collected $8.92 million in fees – a $4.22 million decrease in income compared to the anticipated budget. Despite the hit to revenue, the council has committed to providing $11 million in COVID-19 support and relief to local businesses and vulnerable community members.
The assistance is made up of COVID-19 relief packages, a zero per cent rate increase, in-kind support and expanded COVID-19 business and community support packages. More than 1400 requests for assistance were received due to the COVID-19 impact on the community. The annual report revealed the council was still able to spend $26.7 million on capital works and $14 million on improvement works, a total of $ 40.7 million. “The challenges for 2019-20 resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic placed council in a situation that none of us expected to be in,
but we’re proud to say that we provided much needed support to the community during the pandemic, whilst also progressing projects that are essential for council to provide for our growing community,” the report stated. The council’s total revenue was $153.56 million, expenses totalled almost $140 million. At the end of June, the council had 686 staff, including 454 full-time equivalent roles. Councillor Martin Zakharov told last week’s council meeting the annual report showed how well council staff handled the “very difficult year” while delivering a relatively stable budget.

Ms Kaur said her business had been able to reopen for five weeks from June 1 to July 8 after the first lockdown. “From March 25 until June 1, we were forced to close and then from July 9 we’ve
been closed since then,” she said. “It’s just so frustrating, I don’t know what’s happening, what they are thinking. “As a small business we’re struggling, we’re suffering a lot.” Ms Kaur said her clients were desperate to be able to receive dermatological skin care. “People are desperate,” she said. “Even if they give us guidelines so you can have one client at one time. “It feels like it’s never-ending.”

Maribyrnong council is rolling out more signage warning people to abide by social distancing rules following concerns over large public gatherings in Footscray in breach of lockdown laws. Residents in the vicinity of Henry Turner South Reserve on Farnsworth Avenue have voiced concerns with the council and Victoria Police about a large group of men gathering to play soccer matches nearly every evening recently. One witness said up to 30 men have been meeting for the soccer match from about 5pm each day. “On arrival [they] greet each other with no social distancing, some hugging and shaking hands, most with no masks,” the resident said. “Saturday and Sunday afternoon have been the days with the largest numbers of players.” They said that despite multiple calls to the Victoria Police hotline and local stations, there has been no action to stop the regular mass gathering. “It’s very frustrating for those of us who follow the Melbourne lockdown rules and do not want a new COVID outbreak.” Police attended the site last Monday and spoke to the players. The witness said the men started packing up, but set up again and resumed playing after the police left. A Victoria Police spokesman said he was unable to comment on specific reported breaches. Maribyrnong council chief executive Stephen Wall said the council wants the community to be able to enjoy public outdoor spaces, but it is important to follow the rules.

Organisers of Victoria University’s annual volunteering blitz aren’t letting social distancing keep them down. Hundreds of staff and students are set to take part in a “virtual” V4U Day this Friday, taking VU’s flagship volunteering day online due to COVID-19 restrictions. Working from home, some teams will make face masks and ear protectors for aged care residents, others will be singing in a virtual choir for COVID-19 frontline workers. Other projects will involve volunteers compiling a recipe book to share with the broader community, making pocket hearts, creating mindful walking routes, reading
stories to children and writing letters to people isolated by the pandemic. V4U organiser Cathy Tan said this year’s virtual V4U Day also enables the children of VU to volunteer alongside their parents. “In the 10-year history of V4U Day, this is the first virtual one. The pandemic drastically changed the way we deliver events for students this year and posed many challenges,” she said. Ms Tan said the virtual V4U Day is connecting students, staff, alumni and the local community – “something we need more than ever”.

Williamstown park dining plan By Goya Dmytryshchak Hobsons Bay’s parks and public land are set to become alfresco dining areas. Planning Minister Richard Wynne said hospitality venues could use outdoor spaces and nearby parks and public land to serve patrons without a planning permit for the next 12 months. Businesses will still need permission from Hobsons Bay council. “We understand this has been an incredibly challenging time for our hospitality venues and these exemptions will help to make sure the transition to COVID-safe dining is as easy as possible,” Mr Wynne said.

We need to keep evolving; it needs to happen - Ilch Mickovski

Will’s Williamstown cafe co-owner Steven Do said Commonwealth Reserve opposite could become a dining venue, which he said was preferable to converting the parking space outside his business into a parklet. “It is a very good option and I believe it will create an effect that draws people to the Williamstown beach hub and it will create a lot of traffic,” he said. “But we need that parking because Nelson Place … to lose parking, it will effect the businesses. “If all these tables were able to be moved to onto the park opposite … people would be more likely to come to the area.” Williamstown Chamber of Commerce vice president Craig Turton, who owns Santorini Greek restaurant, said several businesses had discussed banding together to share outdoor space.

Giant switched on to local talent By Benjamin Millar A Footscray games developer has carved a path into the big league after catching the attention of gaming giant Nintendo. Dylan Walker, 27, has had his game Elden: Path of the Forgotten released on global gaming platform Nintendo Switch. Walker said the idea for the “deeply personal” game was first conceived as part of his final project while studying at SAE Creative Media Institute. “The inspiration came from my experience
of moving out of home when I was 15 years old – the game doesn’t hold your hand and kind of throws you into a dark world,” he said. Walker took the idea for Elden: Path of the Forgotten into further development upon graduating, employing a team with the assistance of Film Victoria funding. After working on the game for three years, he relocated to Taiwan for a further six months to work with an in-house development team. “I had never programmed before attending SAE; I was an artist who didn’t finish high school and I gained access to SAE through my
portfolio submission,” he said. “Studying at SAE gave me options to explore. I never thought I would be a programmer, but now I do it every day and I love it.” Working from The Arcade – a dedicated co-working space for the games sector in Port Melbourne – Walker has observed the progress the industry is making and encourages people to become involved. “Australia is currently one of the best places in the world for games development … there is a lot of talented people and money being invested into this sector,” he said.

Sculptures bring joy Acclaimed Maribyrnong artist Felipe Reynolds is known around the world for designing giant inflatables such as the bear mascot for the Sochi Olympics and for the world premiere of King Kong the musical. Now, he has taken up residency at Seaworks in Williamstown, making inflatables that can be seen from the street to give people hope and joy during the COVID-19 lockdown. One is Puck, a six-metre high baby dinosaur inspired by world-renowned artist Takashi Murakami and Japanese toy design. “He was originally designed for the SummerSalt Festival, which activated the arts precinct throughout Melbourne, and he was part of a suite of inflatables,” Reynolds said. “Then there were tentacles that came out of Hamer Hall out of the Arts Centre, and the baby girl in an onesie is called Shine, and she was outside a laneway that was blocked off
for an arts hub centre. “The inflatables which are on display here at Seaworks, I’ve arranged them with Halloween in mind so that’s why it’s got a bit of a ghoulish theme in the window. “I’ve faced them towards the window … even at night-time, they’re illuminated so people can come by and have their own interaction while social distancing.” During the lockdown, Reynolds also created the ‘Messengers of Brisbane’ for the Brisbane Festival, working alongside acclaimed artist Florentijn Hofman. Their six giant Gouldian finches nest around Brisbane in key festival areas. “I think hope is what’s needed and making things possible and keeping your hopes and imaginations alive was really important to get through.” Felipe Reynolds with his giant inflatable baby dinosaur Puck, and one of the Gouldian finches.

Push to rename Gellibrand By Goya Dmytryshchak
are dramatically underrepresented in the names of our federal electorates,” it states. “There are many women who have made outstanding contributions to Australia but only 17 of the 150 federal electorates are named after them. We can do better.” The AEC is considering public suggestions on the redistribution of Gellibrand and Mr Watts told Star Weekly it was “our opportunity to show them we want to give women the recognition they deserve”.
Victoria’s first and only female premier could be recognised with the renaming of the federal electorate of Gellibrand after “the west’s favourite daughter”. Joan Kirner, who died in 2015 at age 76, has been remembered as the ultimate trailblazer whose love of Williamstown was matched only by her passion for education and equal rights for women. She was the member for Melbourne West from 1982-88 and for Williamstown from 1988-1994. Labor MP Tim Watts is petitioning the Australian Electoral Commission to rename the federal electorate he represents from Gellibrand to Kirner. Mr Watts previously pushed for Gellibrand to be renamed Cooper, after Indigenous rights pioneer William Cooper. Instead, the electorate of Batman, which took its name from John Batman, was abolished in 2019 and replaced by the division of Cooper. In 2018, Mr Watts said European lawyer and explorer Joseph Gellibrand, who is thought to be a drafter of the Batman Treaty that dispossessed several Aboriginal clans of their land, was not an appropriate namesake for a federal electorate. Mr Watts’ current petition states the names of federal electorates should recognise Australians who have made outstanding contributions to our nation. “Yet the contributions of women who have helped make Australia the country it is today

There’s been a huge show of support - Tim Watts
’’
“That’s why I’ve launched this campaign to rename my electorate after Joan Kirner, a great Australian woman and a great woman of Melbourne’s west. “Joan was not only the first woman to become premier of Victoria – she’s also made a massive contribution to the broader nation through her role in the founding of Landcare and EMILY’s List. “There’s been a huge show of support since launching earlier this week with over 600 signatures on the petition already.” Gellibrand was created in 1949 and covers Altona, Altona North, Altona Meadows, Kingsville, Laverton, Newport, Seabrook, Seaholme, Seddon, South Kingsville, Spotswood, Williamstown, Williamstown North and Yarraville; and parts of Brooklyn, Footscray, Laverton North, Point Cook, West Footscray and Williams Landing.

An Altona North medical practice has become the first GP respiratory clinic testing for coronavirus in Melbourne’s west, as part of the federal government’s roll-out of 100 such pop-up clinics Australia-wide. It comes as Health Minister Jenny Mikakos on Tuesday announced Victoria would have the widest testing criteria of COVID-19 in Australia. She said anyone experiencing fever and respiratory symptoms such as a cough or shortness of breath could ring ahead to a clinic to be tested. As of Tuesday, Victoria had 1291 cases, an increase of 10 since Monday. There have been 14 deaths statewide, while 40 people remain in hospital, including 15 in intensive care. There are 13 cases in Hobsons Bay and 10 in Maribyrnong.

tested,” he said. “When this whole thing started, the joke was Indonesia is the safest place in the world to be because they weren’t reporting any cases, but they weren’t testing anybody. “And of course, Bali was one of the earliest places that shut down after China.

Victoria’s state of emergency has been extended to May 11 to help continue to contain the spread of COVID-19. At Altona North, Dr Mukesh Haikerwal and partners run the Blackshaws Road pop-up clinic which was assembled from portables and tents over 10 days. Dr Haikerwal said the respiratory clinic enabled treatment of multiple patients with breathing conditions, including COVID-19, who were unable to be seen in a normal GP practice. Tests can be conducted without a change of personal protective gowns and masks, or shutting down and deep cleaning rooms between patients. The clinic had been the first in Victoria to start swabbing people for coronavirus in the carpark until it ran out of gear. “There were no masks and then there were no gowns and then there were no swabs, so we had to do something different,” Dr Haikerwal said. “What we are doing now is … 50 or 60 tests

Help to avoid mortgage crisis repossession to recoup the funds – which, most of the time is for a lesser amount – is the last step a lender will want to take,” Ms Grubisa said. “Many will want to cut a deal with the borrower – such as reworking the terms of the loan, temporarily reducing the interest rate or repayments or, as a last resort, allow the borrower to sell the property for them. “The key is to have an open line of communication with the lender, show you are willing to work with them, and know your rights. They won’t foreclose on a mortgagor as long as they are trying to work through the situation with them.”
Dominique outlines what some of your options are if your repayment holiday has ended and you’re struggling to restart repayments: • Propose a temporary repayment plan which allows you to make smaller, regular payments until your temporary hardship period eases. • Request a mortgage modification. If your income is reduced for an indefinite period, you could either extend the term of the loan to reduce the size of each repayment or switch to an interest-only loan. • Seek forbearance. This is applicable for mortgagors who cannot make loan repayments in the short term, but are expecting a lump
sum payment that will cover repayments in arrears. Forbearance is where the lender agrees to forego loan repayments for a while and will accept the lump sum down the track. • Ask for a short sale. This prevents the bank from repossessing a property. The lender allows you to put the property on the market yourself, then present all purchase offers to them. • Seek hardship relief. Lenders are obliged by law and their own Codes of Practice to help you in times of difficulty if you have reasonable cause to request financial hardship. Most lenders also have hardship officers who can review your situation.

More than 800,000 Australian mortgagors have arranged payment deferrals with their lenders since COVID-19 hit in March. Now that these repayment holidays – and government stimulus payments – are being wound back, some households may face a mortgage crisis if their income levels have not rebounded.

FCAC executive director Robyn Gawenda said the site, which last year operated as the Due West Arts Festival hub, has been renovated during the pandemic closure period to make way for the new venture. “FCAC is thrilled to be working with Ellen to bring Myrtle Wine Café to life,” he said. “Myrtle’s focus on environmental sustainability and local community engagement resonates deeply with our values at FCAC, and we are looking forward to welcoming the community back to this important meeting place.”
Altona Coles worker Janet Webb has chalked up 35 years at the Pier Street supermarket. She started working at the store in 1985 and still recalls the day she got the job. “I find it hard to believe it has been 35 years since Michelle Briscoe called me to say that the store manager at Coles Altona is looking to hire six ladies and that I was lucky enough to be one of them,” Ms Webb said. “I have had the privilege of working with some fantastic store managers and team members, including my two daughters. “As a team member, I have had some very enjoyable evenings out celebrating special occasions, and it has been a joy and privilege to see all the after-school casuals go into their new positions they were aiming for.” And she has a message for regulars who come in to shop. “Who could forget our most valued customers,” Ms Webb said. “You make me laugh and make me cry. “I love the Altona people and thank you for shopping Coles Altona”. Store manager Sumon Saha said colleagues all agreed Ms Webb was “the nicest person you will ever meet and all the customers love Janet.”

Cafe culture ready to awaken Hospitality venues could soon be blooming once more throughout the inner-west as months of hard lockdown triggered by the coronavirus crisis begin to ease. Myrtle Wine Café at Footscray Community Arts Centre is one of a handful of new ventures that have been waiting for the state government’s go-ahead for venues to slowly reopen. Set to open on November 4, the café will be the latest hospitality venture to be situated in Henderson House, the precinct’s recently renovated heritage building. Myrtle Wine Café is the second venue to be opened by local Ellen Turner, following
on from her popular Willow Wine Café in Kingsville. Ms Turner said the licensed café will have a low-waste approach with a focus on local producers, seasonal food and ethical sourcing. “This is a rare and exciting opportunity for me to work with such an incredible institution and in vibrant Footscray,” she said. “With Myrtle Wine Café, I hope to add value to the area and provide a beautiful environment for people to meet and work.” The café will be set in the iconic bluestone Henderson House building, which has perched above the Maribyrnong River since 1872.
Cricket club scores mental health funds Gellibrand Cricket Club has scored a $3000 grant for mental health. The Newport-based club will use the funds stumped up by Australia Post to engage Outside the Locker Room to provide mental health workshops. Treasurer Mark Keating said money would be used for the club’s Gellibrand Youth Support Program, raising awareness about youth mental health. “A lot of the time it’s good just for kids to recognise the signs and know they’ve got somewhere to go to get some help,” he said. “As a club, we’ve got three junior girls’ teams
and five or six junior boys’ teams and we’ve done one of these things before with the Jim Stynes Foundation, and I think the kids find it invaluable. “They’re all teenagers between about 12 and 17 so it’s a critical time for them. “I think if you get kids at that age they’re still impressionable; they hopefully haven’t entrenched views like some of us older folks that are then hard to change. “Sports clubs, generally, can be like a second home for a lot of these kids. They feel they belong at the club and it’s important for them.” Australia Post executive general manager
Nicole Sheffield said she was proud to be awarding the funds in what had been an incredibly challenging year. “The organisations we’ve funded aim to help improve the mental health and wellbeing of Australians by helping individuals and communities be more connected,” she said. “The projects will help to increase community awareness and understanding of mental health and how to stay mentally well, and strengthen connections to mental health support services.” Goya Dmtryshchak

Out and about Once a barren wasteland, Cruickshank Park has become a Yarraville gem. The park has offered a welcome oasis during the long COVID-19 lockdown, a place for quiet contemplation, exercise and play. It has also become synonymous with the dogs who come from far and wide for a frolic, as Benjamin Millar discovered.

FEATURING ... OUR COMMUNITY
Put the brakes on bad driving habits As COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions ease, road users are being urged not to bring back bad habits while driving. RoadSafe Westgate Community Road Safety Council chairman Jim Giddings says it has been demonstrated time after time that speed is a contributing factor in most road crashes. “Stay within the speed limit and drive to suit the conditions you face,” Mr Giddings says. “Speeding affects both the risk of a crash happening and the severity of injuries sustained when a crash does happen.” Mr Giddings says the work of his group, along with initiatives such as Road Policing Operations for the Melbourne Cup long weekend, would hopefully reduce the number of serious crashes on our roads and asks the community to report speeding drivers. “As the state gradually opens up and COVID restrictions are being eased across Victoria, travel by road will increase,” Mr Giddings says. The Melbourne Cup holiday weekend provides an opportunity for families to free themselves from their usual commitments and it is anticipated that large numbers of people will use Victorian roads. Mr Giddings says the times of highest risk are when people are leaving for holiday destinations and are returning home. “Motorists are requested to stay within the speed limit, don’t drink alcohol or take drugs and drive, leave mobile phones out of reach, wear seatbelts/child restraints and make sure you are well rested,” he says. “Holiday driving has its challenges and drivers should drive in the hours they are normally awake, take regular breaks to reduce fatigue and allow extra space between vehicles. “Drivers need to adapt to the conditions of the road – the onus is always on the driver to suit the conditions they are facing and that
As restrictions ease and road travel increases, it’s important to carry out car safety checks to keep your family and other motorists safe. (iStock)
includes the quality of the road. “If you plan to have a drink then plan to not drive – taking a big risk like drinking and driving is just not worth endangering your live or that of other road users.” Drivers planning to travel during this period can expect to see an increase in vehicles travelling on major freeways and highways throughout the state.
All drivers should plan their trip, be patient and ensure that they have frequent breaks when driving. Before embarking on any driving trips, tyres, windscreen washers, brakes and lights should all be checked. “Fatigue is one of the major causes of loss of lives on Victorian roads,” Mr Giddings says. “Drivers are requested to plan their trip,
be patient and ensure that you take at least a 15-minute break at least every two hours and don’t drive if you are tired. “Everyone in the community has a responsibility and a role to play in reducing road trauma. Stay safe.” Report speeding drivers to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
DRIVING IS NOT A GAME! SPEED KILLS! Don’t make a Grave Mistake Speed is the largest single factor in fatal road crashes on our roads. RoadSafe Westgate and your local council support reporting speeding drivers to Crime Stoppers.

25 MARIBYRNONG & HOBSONS BAY STAR WEEKLY Wednesday, 28 October, 2020
SPORT Hillier bolsters Wyndham’s coaching panel The lure of working at a big association was behind Gerard Hillier’s move to the Wyndham Basketball Association. Hillier is a successful coach at a number of different levels and has worked with both Basketball Victoria and in club land. He joins Wyndham as its new player and coach development manager. Hillier said it was exciting to join a club such as Wyndham. “It’s a big club and big growth area which has a lot of good pathways and good programs already,” he said. “I grew up in Yarraville so I’m a western suburbs boy. I was at Southern Pen for the last 10 years. “Southern Pen is a small club, I wanted to look for a bigger club. Wyndham is in that growth corridor and there’s so many options.”
Hillier, who was the Sharks director of coaching and pathways, coached just about every level of basketball at Southern Peninsula, He also was Australian head coach for the 3X3 team for the Youth Olympics. Hillier replaces Reece Potter in the role, with Potter moving back to Sydney. With the two men sharing a friendship, Hillier already has plenty of knowledge of the Wyndham program. “Reece and I worked side-by-side and mentored each other with our programs and everything at club land. “I’ve got a good grip on the program and we’re well positioned to move forward again.” Hillier, who started the role last week, said while the focus would be on helping further develop all their programs, the first step was a simple one.
“After COVID-19 the immediate challenge is getting all young players and senior domestic players back playing again. “Obviously this has been an extremely challenging time for everyone in our sport, but it has been heartening to see players and coaches continue to commit to improvement through online sessions. “I would love to talk about championships and winning things, but getting local players back playing basketball again is the most important thing.” He said there would be some junior players move into the Big V program next season. “We not only want to be a big program, but a program filled with locals,” he said. “We want to bring a few junior players into the program to help develop them and for the longevity of the program.”
Late coaching change By Tara Murray Altona has had a last minute coaching change ahead of the Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association north-west season, with Shane Jones moving to Queensland. Jones was appointed the club’s coach for this season earlier this year having returned from premier club Footscray. But a job opportunity in Queensland has meant he can’t continue on in the role. The club announced last Saturday that James Grubb, who was set to be an assistant coach this season, will step up into the coaching role. A’s president Darren McConville said it was disappointing to lose Jones, who previously played at the club. “Shane got the promotion and they asked him to move to Queensland to run the office up there. “It’s a good opportunity for him and the family to relocate.” McConville said it was an easy decision to appoint Grubb as coach. Grubb returned to the club last season after spending time at premier club Footscray. McConville said COVID-19 meant it was difficult to look at external coaches without getting them into the club and being so close to the start of the season. Lsst season Grubb averaged more than 50 with the bat, making more than 800 runs for the season, the second most in the division. He also took 26 wickets to be in the top 10 as well as being one of the standout players of the competition for the season. “James is more than capable,” McConville said. “He was doing a lot of the pre-planning with Shane anyway, so it won’t be a massive jump in learning for him.” McConville said they had managed to keep most of last season’s playing group together heading into this season. The A’s made the semi-finals last season, losing to Williamstown, which was crowned premiers for finishing on top of the ladder after the grand final didn’t go ahead. In a bonus for the A’s, Josh Young returns from Willy Imps. McConville said the club was looking to use the semi-final appearance as a base to go at least one step further this season. The A’s are scheduled to start their season on November 21 against Yarraville. The season will be all one-dayers due to COVID-19. McConville said they would be ready to start training once they were given the go ahead. It’s expected that clubs will have clearer timeframes in the next week or so. “We’ve had a lot of help from the VSDCA, Cricket Victoria and council,” he said.
The Devils are starting to put their rosters in place for next season. Boomers legend John Dorge is back as men’s coach, while the club is set to announce a new women’s coach in the coming weeks. Potter, who had a dual role at the club, was also coach of the women’s side. Hillier said he would likely do some coaching at the club as well. WBA general manager Craig Armstead said Hillier would be a terrific asset for the association. “Gerard’s resume speaks for itself, with experience across all levels of basketball, and his commitment to improvement during his time at Southern Peninsula really stood out for the WBA executive,” Armstead said. Tara Murray
Lakers ready to pounce Caroline Springs believes it’s in a good position for a finals tilt in Western Region Football League division 1. Having improved every year in the top flight, the Lakers were hoping for a finals berth in 2020 before COVID-19 hit. Lakers football director Marc Raak said with the majority of their list signing on and a few new recruits, they were happy with how things were going. Brodie Holland will again lead the side after re-signing as coach. “We were in a really good position, thinking that the season was going to go ahead,” Raak said. “We had 50-odd on the training track and we were a bit devastated that it didn’t go ahead. “We spoke as a club and set goals for this year to get into a finals game for the first time in div 1. The players and coaching staff are driven.” Raak said they had lost just one player from this year’s squad, which was due to business commitments in Mildura. Their new signings for 2020 have re-signed for next year, led by former Adelaide-listed player Will Young. The Lakers have announced their first new signing for 2021, with ruckman Brock McGregor joining the club. McGregor had been playing with Essendon District Football League premier division side Keilor. He missed last year’s premiership after injuring his knee. “He is a ruck and it was a hole that we needed to fill,” Raak said. “We spoke with him a while ago about giving him an opportunity. What we are looking for suited us both and he’s looking to move into the Caroline Springs area and be part of our community.” Raak said they were delighted with where the list was sitting at the moment. He said they were still talking to players. “There’s one or two others we would like to add to our list as well. “We’ll look to improve in one or two other areas.” Like all clubs, the Lakers are unsure when they will be able to start pre-season training due to COVID-19 restrictions. Raak said they would look to start as soon as they were allowed. “We’re just waiting for clarification,” he said. “When we’re allowed, we will be out there on that day we’re allowed.” Tara Murray

Seidel appointed Melton Thoroughbreds coach Andrew Seidel is returning to the coaching hot seat after being appointed Melton Thoroughbreds’ Big V women’s coach for next year’s division 2 season. Seidel coached the Sunbury Jets youth league girls team to back-to-back championships in 2017-18, but was not reappointed to lead the side in the Youth League Championships division for the first time. After two years out of coaching, Seidel decided he wanted back in and successfully applied for the Melton women’s role. Seidel said the COVID-19 break, which resulted in limited basketball this year, had played a role in getting him back into basketball. “Unfortunately I wasn’t reappointed after two championships at Sunbury and I had to walk away from coaching as there wasn’t any jobs,” he said. “I’ve had the passion and the bite to coach again the last month or two. I applied for a couple of jobs and got this one.
“During COVID I missed basketball.” Seidel has just built a house in the Melton municipality, which played a factor in applying for the role. He replaces Lauren Olcorn, who stood down as coach. Olcorn was instrumental in getting the women’s Big V program back up and running in Melton. The side was reestablished in 2018 after folding at the end of 2010. “Lauren stepped away due to some family commitments and decided to not go on with the role,” Seidel said. “I want to see if we can develop the side even further and get it up into division 1.” Seidel said he knew a couple of players from this year’s squad, having previously coached them at Sunbury. He said he would look to recruit a few players to help strength the side. The club has also announced Adrian Adams as the youth league women’s coach. The club was due to have a yough league girls team for
the first time this year, before the season was cancelled due to COVID-19. Seidel said it was exciting to see the pathway being established at the club. “I’ve had experience coaching youth league and getting a pathway and somewhere to move up to, gives them a bit more incentive. “Hopefully they’ll stay around and play women’s.” Seidel said he can’t wait to get things underway. “I’m excited,” he said. “I’m someone with fresh ideas and new to the club. “Hopefully the club is heading in the right direction and I’m extremely excited about this new opportunity.” Tara Murray Andrew Seidel is back in the coching hot seat.

Marr steps up for Lions

Second win for Dragons By Tara Murray It’s been a juggling act for Gisborne as it returned to the nets and field in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association. As a regional club, the Dragons are allowed to train in groups of set numbers. Regional teams in the GDCA are also playing against each other in a round robin competition until the metro teams are allowed to play. New McIntyre Cup captain Jason Wilson said it had been good to be back. “We’re getting about 70-odd people to training,” he said. “It’s good to have a run around with some mates and be back out there after six months. “It’s challenging organising it all and we have to do it over a couple of different ovals and there’s a few different team leaders.” Among those training with the Dragons are several Gisborne-based cricketers who are playing in Melbourne competitions. All have played for the Dragons at some point in their careers.
Several of them, including premier cricket players Lachie McKenna and Roby Lane, last season’s captain Jarryd Vernon and Luke Macumber, all played in the Dragons opening round matches. “It’s great having their knowledge and leadership around with them all playing at a high level of cricket,” Wilson said. “It’s good to see them pass on the knowledge to the younger players, as we have a lot of them. “I’m just trying to balance that on the field as we have plenty of depth with those guys playing. “I do have to manage everyone on the field and give everyone a hit and rotate the batting.” Another player who has started the season with the Dragons is former Australian under-19 captain Pat McKenna. McKenna, who spent time on Greater Western Sydney and Melbourne’s AFL lists, hasn’t played a lot of cricket in recent years. He played two games last season for the Dragons. Wilson said McKenna would play with them until Christmas but is unsure of his
availability after the break because of work commitments. Wilson, who captained his home club back in Gippsland for a number of years, said he was enjoying the opportunity to step up and captain the Dragons. On Friday, the Dragons faced Woodend in the second of its regional senior competition pool matches and made it two from two. Woodend made 9-83 from its overs, with former Dragon Riley Vernon top scoring with 40. Roby Lane took two wickets. The Dragons made the runs two wickets down and with five overs remaining. Sam Mackay top-scored with 40 not out. Making the most of the public holiday proved a successful move with rain resulting in few other matches being completed. Just three other senior matches achieved results over Friday and Saturday. In Pool B, Bacchus Marsh 2 was too good for Riddell. The other pool A match featuring the McIntyre Cup teams, Romsey and Bacchus Marsh didn’t go ahead.
Glen Marr has held many coaching roles at Taylors Lakes Cricket Club. He’s coached junior sides and, for the past three seasons, has been the batting coach for the senior Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association side. This season he has taken on the senior coaching role, replacing Janaka Deegodagamage who has left the club to coach at a higher level. Marr said he just loved cricket and being involved. “For me, I’m just happy to do anything,” he said. “I’ve been on and off at the club for 20 years and my sons play here. “I’ve been helping out in the past and I’m not working any more, so I have more time to put into it. “I just love the game and the enjoyment for me is seeing them all improve.” Marr already knows most of the playing group and has played with several of the junior players coming through. He said the club had kept most of last year’s side together, but travel restrictions meant they would be without international players – Aamir Raza was meant to be an assistant coach while playing at the club for a second season. Marr said they were still settling their line-up, with COVID-19 delaying some people’s decisions about their playing future. Amhit Padwal, who played with Altona last season, will be a playing assistant coach. Marr and Padwal have already been speaking about training plans, with a likely date for a return to training nearing. The Lions last season made a qualifying final after an exciting final round of the season. Marr said the biggest focus this season was improvement. “The first thing is we will try and focus on the skills,” he said. “We won’t set any targets, it’s a funny season. “We are traditionally better in one-dayers from my experience because of our batting, but I will take it as it comes. “I’ll try and get the guys to enjoy it and better themselves. If we make good choices when in the middle, the rest will take care of itself.” The Lions are set to kick off their season on November 21, at home against Ivanhoe. Tara Murray
