Whittlesea councillors Christine Stow and Rex Griffin at the old Epping cemetery. (Kristian Scott)
History holds its ground By Lexi Cottee More than 110 unmarked graves have been discovered at Epping cemetery, quashing a council-led bid to reopen it for burials. A week-long survey by Hunter Geophysics revealed more than 110 areas of “disturbed soil, most likely associated with unmarked grave shafts and funerary urn burials”. The findings put a halt to a plan, led by Cr Rex Griffin, to reopen the 165-year-old cemetery on the corner of High Street and O’Herns Road. Cr Griffin wanted to build niche walls that
could house burial urns. Last year, the council applied for funding from the Department of Health to conduct a survey to ascertain if any of the land at the cemetery could support the urn walls. The council believed that the walls could be built on undisturbed land which was free of native grasses. An $11,500 survey assessed soil density and whether the land had previously been disturbed for unmarked grave sites. Whittlesea’s managing director of property and valuation services, Gino Mitrione, said the
income from reopening the cemetery would help pay for its upkeep. He said the walls would have to be built at the front of the cemetery, which is where the survey was conducted. In light of the survey findings, Mr Mitrione said the council had decided not to reopen the historic cemetery. But Cr Griffin said he wanted another survey of the rest of the land to determine if the idea was viable elsewhere. “I think we’ll be able to find somewhere for ashes,” he said.

Long-time Epping resident Ken Jeffery, who joined Epping CFA at 12 and is now a life member, was interested in the idea of opening the cemetery to residents with long-standing connections to the area or who have family and friends already buried there. “Maybe, if you have lived in the town for a number of years, that could make you eligible,” he said. “It’s part of Epping’s history. Even if they don’t reopen it, it’s important that it be preserved the way it is.” More than 800 people were buried at the cemetery before it was closed in 1960.

Wollert, Epping bus fix on way By Lexi Cottee Three new bus routes are set to be introduced to public transport-starved Epping North and Wollert. Public Transport Victoria announced last week the three routes it is proposing as replacements for the existing 575 route. Residents who bought in Wollert and Epping North housing estates have campaigned for years to get bus services out to the bus stops developers built years ago, which have never been put to use. The 575 route services Epping North to Thomastown, leaving swathes of
Epping North and Wollert without access to public transport. The proposed new routes are 356 from Wollert East to Epping station, 357 from Wollert West to Thomastown, and 358 from Wollert to Epping station. The changes are designed to link Epping North and Wollert residents to Epping station, Epping Plaza and the Northern Hospital. Buses will run every 20 minutes in peak times on weekdays and every 40 minutes off-peak. On the current 575 route, morning peak buses run at 7am, 7.33am, 7.55am and 8.45am from Harvest Home Road.
Aurora Community Association secretary Cara Horner said the group met Mill Park MP Lily D’Ambrosio last year to discuss new routes. She said she was heartened to see their input had been taken on board. “It’s great to see the western part of Aurora Estate now serviced as well as Summer Hill in the north,” she said. “Services deeper into Wollert in Eucalypt are also welcome as this area is very isolated. I think the three new services will help our community and it’s great to have a service running along Miller Street.” Association president Steven Boyne said
his only concern was the proposed services’ 40-minute frequency in off-peak times, which he thought was too infrequent. PTV will hold three feedback sessions – September 10 (4-7pm) at Pacific Shopping Plaza; September 12 (10am-12pm) at Eucalypt Community Market; and September 14 (6-8pm) at Epping Secondary College. For people unable to attend, feedback can be made online – getinvolved.ptv.vic.gov.au/newbus-network-for-epping-north-and-wollert – before September 27.

STEPHANIE COSMANO
Flautist focused on one direction Bubbly Stephanie Cosmano speaks passionately about her love for the flute – and One Direction’s Harry Styles. Like her boy band idol, the 13-year-old from Fawkner has been singing since she was a toddler. She also plays piano and hopes to make it into Melbourne Youth Music’s ensemble program next year to fine-tune her skills. To be selected for the program, a small group of young musicians face two rounds of auditions and must have exemplary Australian
Music Examinations Board exam results. Stephanie was selected for the 2015 program and had such a good time she hopes to make the ensemble again. “I made new friends and connected with people who play other instruments,” she said. She hopes the experience will further her chances of a career as a musician – and perhaps even rival Styles’ fame one day. “Mum said I always sang when I was little,” Stephanie said. “Music has always been my everything.”
The not-for-profit Melbourne Youth Music organisation has been around since 1967 and is dedicated to “enriching young lives through the power of music”. Applications for the ensemble program close October 16. The program runs from February to November next year. For more information or to apply, visit www.mym.org.au or call 9376 8988. Lexi Cottee
A construction boom is unfolding in Whittlesea, Victorian Building Authority data confirms. Whittlesea council issued permits for buildings valued at $1.13 billion in the 2014-15 financial year – up 44 per cent on the year before. The boom puts the municipality sixth in a listing of building permit values reported to the VBA by Victorian councils. In 2013-14, Whittlesea was in eighth place. It’s now one of just eight local council areas to record more than $1 billion in building permits in the year to June 30. Victoria’s deputy executive director of the Property Council of Australia, Asher Judah, attributed the building boom to the state’s growing population. “With Victoria’s population growing at record levels, housing construction is occurring at a rapid clip to keep pace with demand,” Mr Judah said The value of residential construction in Whittlesea was about $734 million, which was the third-highest in the state, and an increase of 24 per cent on the previous 12 months. Whittlesea council’s planning and major projects director, Steve O’Brien, said the figures came as no surprise. He said there had been considerable activity around the new Epping wholesale market, which began trading for the first time this week. The said the new quarantine facility at Mickleham was the most valuable building permit submitted, at a cost of $210 million. Lexi Cottee

Every day the Northern Hospital’s emergency department tends to an average of 212 patients. About 60 arrive by ambulance and 40 are children needing emergency treatment. To ensure the busy department can keep up with the area’s staggering population growth, nearby resident and community activist Bev Carman has helped organise the hospital’s inaugural race day at Kilmore Racing Club. The whole-day affair on September 12 will bring local businesses, residents and hospital staff together to raise vital funds. Ms Carman is encouraging people to sponsor the name of a race for $1500, buy a table for 10 guests for $1000 or show up on the day. Tickets cost $100 and include a two-course meal.
“The money we raise will have a really positive impact for patients. We’re hoping the local community will get behind the event,” she said. According to hospital data, the population of its primary catchment is expected to increase by 64 per cent by 2026. Hospital board chairman John Molnar encouraged the community to support its local hospital. “Given this rapid increase, it’s essential we work together with our community to provide the highest level of care that will be better for everyone,” he said.

Raids net cigarettes
Black market cigarettes valued at about $20,000, stolen iPhones and iPads, and about $35,000 in cash was seized from two commercial properties in Broadmeadows last week after raids by the North West Regional Crime Squad. Police say the raids are linked to ongoing investigations into two syndicates involving gangs trading in illicit cigarettes and electrical products. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said two men aged in their 50s, from Broadmeadows and Meadow Heights, were in custody and being questioned last Thursday.

Patience runs thin on split Community leaders have urged the state government to finally decide whether Sunbury will split from Hume. Transition auditors John Watson and Frank Vincent were expected to present their report and recommendations to Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins yesterday. The pair were appointed by the Labor government in March with a brief to review the separation processes, after the former Liberal government gazetted formal notices that a new Sunbury council would start on July 1 this year. But the split was put on hold after Ms Hutchins said too many questions remained unanswered. A government spokeswoman said the transition auditors were on track to deliver their report by the August 31 deadline. ‘‘The government will consider the report and make it public later this year,’’ the minister said. Council chief executive Domenic Isola said the people of Hume had been waiting a long time and needed to know. ‘‘Now that the work has been completed, we urge the state government to make a decision on the issue so our community can plan for the future with more certainty,’’ he said. Hume’s Sunbury-based councillor, Ann Potter, agreed. ‘‘I understand they have to absorb the report, but the community, the council … we all need to know,’’ she said. ‘‘I would hope they would do it sooner rather than later.’’
Fellow Hume councillor and Sunbury resident Jack Medcraft said he was sick of delays. ‘‘This has been the greatest denial of natural democracy I’ve ever seen,’’ he said. ‘‘No one knows what’s going on.’’ Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie O’Farrell said people had been kept waiting long enough.
‘‘
The community, the council … we all need to know - Cr Ann Potter
’’
‘‘Our expectation has always been that it would be released shortly after it was received,’’ he said. ‘‘The entire exercise is unnecessary. “All they’ve done is go over the reports, which the previous government was satisfied showed it [a stand alone Sunbury council] was viable. They said they would honour the gazettal. They went back on that,’’ Mr O’Farrell said. Visiting Sunbury earlier this month, Premier Daniel Andrews rejected claims the audit process was a sham. He told Star Weekly the government was serious about the review, and would wait for the report before making any decisions. Opposition leader Matthew Guy and Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn have described the audit as a hoax, saying they held out little hope that an independent Sunbury would go ahead. Mr Andrews said the government would act quickly on the auditors’ report.

A fine head for hats For Noela Langborne, no formal outfit is complete without some form of headwear. Yet the milliner of 10 years laments that the tradition of adding a hat to a formal outfit has almost disappeared from modern day fashion. “I couldn’t even visit my nana without wearing a bonnet and gloves,” the Epping resident says. But one occasion each year keeps the practice alive – and milliners in work. The Spring Racing Carnival is just around the corner, and doesn’t Ms Langborne know it. She’s busy creating five hats for a fashion parade at the Melbourne Arts Centre on September 17 and making dozens of colourful head pieces for clients heading to the races in October and November.
UP TO
Ms Langborne is predicting that plenty of lace and bright colours such as shades of orange, yellow and green will be popular among racegoers this year. She has always known fashion and fabric as part of her life. She was previously a production manager for about 20 years in a large manufacturing company in Brunswick. When she noticed the business was starting to slow, she enrolled at a night school to learn the art of millinery. Ms Langborne will have entries in the Millinery Association of Australia’s MAArvellous Millinery event at the Arts Centre from 7pm on September 17. Lexi Cottee

Family violence soars
Police training sets benchmark
By Lexi Cottee Hume is a hotbed of family violence in Melbourne’s north and west. According to Crime Statistics Agency figures, Hume had the greatest number of “family incidents” in the western metropolitan region in the 12 months to December 31, 2014 when 2965 incidents were reported. The seven municipalities in the region are Brimbank, Hobsons Bay, Hume, Maribyrnong, Melton, Moonee Valley and Wyndham.
‘‘
The state has every obligation to protect - Cesar Melhelm women
’’
Maribyrnong had the least number of family violence incidents last year: 848. The statistics reveal that in just five years the number of reported family violence incidents in Hume has almost doubled. In his submission to the Family Violence Royal Commission, Western Metropolitan MP Cesar Melhem has called for harsher penalties for first or early offences. “The state has no obligation to show leniency towards men who hit women,” he said. “The state has every obligation to protect women from being abused.” He said the figures were a stark reminder of the fundamental inequity that existed between men and women “in spite of the fashionable, complacent view that feminism is over and gender equity is done and dusted”. Women’s Health West, one of about 22 service providers in the region, has reported that it is “stretched beyond capacity” with

735 referrals to the service from police in April alone, compared with 708 for the entire 2006-07 financial year. Broadmeadows MP Frank McGuire’s submission to the royal commission aired his concerns about adolescents’ access to “hard-core” pornography that “exposes them to extreme sexual and violent behaviour at a susceptible age”.

Victoria Police’s new $30 million training centre in Craigieburn officially opened last week. The complex has replaced a training site in Essendon and will receive about 3500 officers a year through its doors to complete a compulsory program to remain qualified in operational tactics and safety training. Police Minister Wade Noonan, who officially opened the centre alongside Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton, said it set a new benchmark for a police training facility in Australasia. It has a mock village with fake shops, offices, schools and a police station, two large soft-fall areas for defensive tactics training, two indoor firing ranges and a large indoor fitness assessment area. “The complex has been purpose-built so the learning spaces closely reflect real-life environments that our members find themselves in daily,” Mr Ashton said. Twice a year police officers complete training in conflict resolution, defensive tactics, firearms and scenario training.The indoor “scenario village” is big enough to run two separate exercises at once. “With provision for futuristic virtual reality training, the new complex not only meets our current training needs but will see us well placed to offer world’sbest-practice training to our police and PSOs into the future as our needs and technology evolve,” Mr Ashton said.

A Broadmeadows primary school’s commitment to coaching its teachers has led to a “striking improvement” in NAPLAN results. The link was revealed in an international study that examined whether greater levels of autonomy in a school led to higher student performance. The federal government-supported study investigated four schools in Australia, including Broadmeadows Primary School. Report author and Melbourne University honorary professional fellow Brian Caldwell said the school’s ability to hire and fire staff, invest in coaching and send teachers on overseas study trips had directly affected the schools’ NAPLAN results. “Despite high levels of social disadvantage, their autonomy has allowed them to select their own teachers and devote a large amount of the school’s budget to coaching those teachers. They give particular priority to this.” Principal Keith McDougall allocates $300,000 annually for private consultants and to employ a full-time curriculum coach. The principal of 28 years has travelled widely to monitor developments in education, including visiting schools in Denmark, England, New Zealand and the US. Fifteen years ago be began sending teachers on study trips to schools in New Zealand with similar demographic profiles. Those trips have led to the introduction of a “news broadcast” idea where the school

A triple bypass was what led Steve Allport into the garden almost seven years ago. The operation left the Lalor resident with weakened heart muscles, forcing him to quit his job with a printing company and take stock among the flowers at the Peter Lalor Community Garden, at Lalor. He’s taught himself basics like when to plant and fertilise, and what grows best with what. Now he’s calling on the community to join him once, twice or three times a week to tend the garden’s eight shared plots. If you’re keen, be at the garden at Peter Lalor Secondary College between 10am and 2pm on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. An annual membership fee of $10 applies. Details: 9465 0416. Lexi Cottee

TALKING APPS Blake James reviews some new free game apps
Triple Jump
Try Harder
Threes! Free
Into the Dead
Triple Jump is one of those games that makes the user feel like they are playing one of the easiest games on the app store. What Ketchapp has managed to publish is a game fraught with frustration and addiction. Triple Jump is a game where the user is a ball on a constantly moving plain. The user is required to tap the screen in order to jump over spikes. Each jump adds one to your overall score. Coins are randomly generated during the course of the game which the user collects and spends on various “skins” (for 50 coins) to change the character’s appearance. Triple Jump mimics Dong Nguyen’s “Flappy bird” where the user can play instantly with no learning curve and feel like they can beat their incredibly low scoring first try. One drawback is that upon opening the app for the first time, you are bombarded with ads. While trying Triple Jump, I found myself getting frustrated at how many times it looked like the ball went over a spike yet it registered as a failed attempt. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this app. It feels clunky and the ads are overbearing.
Try Harder is a 2d game published by “[adult swim]” where the user is a character that jumps over certain obstacles while constantly on the run. The objective is to run as far as possible before dying. There are certain methods the user has to perform in order to advance to further stages of the game. Different methods include single jumping, double jumping, collecting a certain power-up or holding your finger down to use a glider which would safely sail you down a cliff and over a pool of lava. The game draws on an adventurous art and Mario-esque platformer gameplay style. It’s fast-paced and very fluid. The game sounds are quality and are in line with the overall feel of the game. Overall, I rate Try Harder highly and definitely recommend checking out.
Threes! Free is an addictive puzzle game published by “Sirvo LLC”. The game has very similar mechanics to the widely popular “2048” published by Ketchapp. The game involves you sliding tiles and adding them together to make the biggest number possible to obtain the greatest score. For example, sliding the six tile into another six will produce a 12 tile. You can only add tiles together that have the same value. The game works really well and doesn’t require you to drop a cent to enjoy it. However, the app is structured in a way that you only have a certain amount of tries before you must watch an ad for no more than 30 seconds or alternatively you can buy the game and have unlimited tries. Overall, this is a must-have for puzzle lovers or for someone who just likes to kill some time while enjoying a well-made app.
“Prodigy Design Limited” has managed to publish an intense, fast-paced and blood-pumping action zombie survival game that will put you on the edge of your seat. Basically, you play as a character who has survived a helicopter crash and the aim of the game is to run as far as you can through a field of zombies without getting eaten. The game is based on a freemium model which works well considering most of the purchasable items are purely “cosmetic” and aren’t necessary to advance further in the game. You can choose to have an animal companion which is a perk bought with virtual currency that you get from each run. The further distance you travel per run, the more virtual currency you obtain. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend Into the Dead for children under 15 but would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the zombie genre.

SPORT Coach leaves Pacers at top of their game Whittlesea Pacers are the Big V women’s division 1 champions after beating Geelong Supercats on Saturday night. After taking game one of the series the previous weekend, the Pacers were up against it at three-quarter-time at Geelong. They trailed by six points and it looked as if the three-match series was heading for a decider. Enter the Pacers’ strength and defensive pressure. They stepped it up another level to restrict the Supercats to just six points in the last quarter while scoring 24 points. That led to an 18-point turnaround and a 74-62 win to clinch the series 2-0. For coach Shannon Bodley, it was an unbelievable way to finish the season. “Like all the games between the two teams this season, it was pretty up and down,” he said. “We got the good start but they weren’t going
to let us get away with it and, credit to them, they fought back.” Bodley said he and his players spoke at three-quarter-time about how badly they wanted the win. “We have had this ability to flick a switch and play really brilliant quarters,” he said. “We got a couple of early baskets and you could see the girls were starting to believe. “The girls had that look in their eyes and they knew that if they stuck with it we’d be a real chance.” Bodley said it wasn’t until the final minute that he knew the game was won. “We were all still nervous as we knew Geelong could score quickly,” he said. “At the three-minute mark it was still too close to know we had won it but with one minute to go you could feel it on the bench and the players on the court knew it was happening. “Haylee Cooper-Maclean hit a three on the
buzzer and she was jumping around like she’d won Tattslotto.” Four players hit double figures for the Pacers, with Kimetria Hayden top-scoring with 18. Emmie O’Nial was named the grand final MVP in her first season at the club. “I’m very pleased for her as I know she had doubts she made the right decision moving to the club [from Sunbury],” Bodley said. “She has relished having good players around her and I know this is massive for her.” The win rounded off Bodley’s coaching career with the Pacers. “I announced after the game that I’m retiring . . . that was the plan from the start of the season,” he said. “You hear of people who get fairytale endings and I hoped I would get mine, which I did, in my 200th game.” Tara Murray
Whittlesea coach Shannon Bodley.

Broncos miss out on grand finals trifecta
South Morang’s Rechelle McSwain tackles Brunswick’s Anna Morrow.. (Shawn Smits)
Lions finish the fairytale By Tara Murray South Morang got the fairytale ending it wanted in division 4 of the Victorian Women’s Football League on Sunday. Last season’s easybeats are this season’s heroes after beating Brunswick Renegades 7.10 (52) - 1.1 (7) in the grand final at Coburg City Oval. The Lions finished the regular season on top of the ladder but the fact that only percentage separated the top four highlighted how close the competition was. After conceding the first goal on Sunday through a free kick, the Lions switched on and dominated the contest. Coach Maurice Baldasso said he could not have asked for more from his girls all year. “We smashed it,” he said after the game. Baldasso entered the game full of confidence after winning straight through to the grand final two weeks ago.
‘‘
I didn’t do anything. They took me along for the - Maurice Baldasso ride
’’
“Everything I asked from them before the game they did,” he said. “Getting the hard balls, tackling and working hard was all there.” Baldasso said conceding the first goal was a blessing, as it made the girls switch on. “We had to get our game together and then we tore apart the rest of the quarter,” he said. He said his focus at half-time was ensuring his team did not let Brunswick back into the game. “The girls were very high and happy with their first half but I told them we had to disregard that and keep a level head,” he said. “They just continued doing what they had in the first half … To their credit, Brunswick gave
us a good fight.” Best-on-ground Sharnni Di Mauro kicked two goals, while Rechelle McSwain was the focal point in the forward line with four goals. “The whole 25 players really attacked the football and gave it their all,” Baldasso said. “The forward line was unstoppable and they couldn’t match us in the middle or in defence. “It was a good match for us all round.” The premiership is something that was beyond the team’s wildest dreams at the start of the season, its second in the competition. South Morang failed to win a game and struggled for numbers last season. “It’s a fairytale and the girls are emotional and ecstatic,” Baldasso said. “They’re enjoying the moment and realising they have won a grand final. We would have been happy to win one or two games this season and improve on last year. “I didn’t do anything . . . they took me along for the ride.”
Hume City Broncos’ dream of a third straight Big V women’s state championship came to a heartbreaking end on Sunday. After taking game one of the best of the three series last week against Ringwood Hawks, the Broncos were left to rue a slow start in game two on Saturday night, going down 65-58. In game three on Sunday, it went to the wire, with the Hawks taking the lead in the final minutes to win 57-55. The Hawks had lost the previous two championships to the Broncos. For Broncos’ assistant coach Warren Taylor, it was heart-breaking to get so close to a third straight title. “We were up by six points late in the game before Ringwood finished the game on an 8-2 run to get the win,” Taylor said. “Sarah Wright and Mua Laloifi had foul shots in the last minute of the game, and we went 0-4 from the line. “We drill into the girls how important free throws are in every game.” Taylor said they’d come out slowly in both games, but had been confident of winning game three after the game two loss, in which Colleen Planeta top-scored with 19 points and Nicole Zammit got 14 points. “It was a clean slate. I thought we had been complacent in game two and let the play come at us.” Taylor said. “The attitude was better and we were pretty focused.” Planeta was also Broncos’ top-scorer in game three, with 16 points, while Nicole Zammit and Laloifi also hit double figures. Hawks’ Amber Hegge was the grand final’s most valuable player, averaging 17 points across the three games. “She was the difference in the series,” Taylor said. “We did a good job on her at times, but when push came to shove, they put the ball in her hands at the right times.” Taylor said Zammit had been the Broncos’ stand-out, playing all through the three games. “If we had have won the series, Nicole would have been MVP. She was our best player by daylight. “Colleen got beaten up in the key, which we knew would happen. She was 15 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 1, 2015

Eagles soar to grand final By Tara Murray Craigieburn fought off a determined Tullamarine on its way to the Essendon District Football League division 1 grand final. Only seven points separated the two teams at three-quarter-time and anyone who had watched the Demons’ semi-final win knew they would take the contest to the wire. But the Eagles found another level to win 11.14 (80) - 9.4 (58). Eagles coach Peter Bugden said the boys dug deep when they needed to. “They stepped up in the last quarter,” he said. “Tullamarine was incredible and showed a lot of heart. I was impressed by them and, credit to them, they stuck at it. “[Coach] Anthony Leydin has done a great job.” Bugden said the difference in the end was that his side ran out the game better, kicking four goals to two in the final quarter. “We found a bit of an edge and didn’t stop running in the last quarter. “Once we started the last quarter well, the game was in our hands.” Bugden said knowing how far the club had come in the previous 12 months was enough motivation for his players in the final quarter . . . the Eagles avoided relegation by under five per cent last season. “We’ve come a long way,” he said. “To have the seniors and under-18s in grand finals and the reserves in finals means the world to us.” Jason Cloke was the go-to man up forward for the Eagles with three goals. He was named among his side’s best. Jeremy Page was best-on-ground, while Shannon Bennett and Garrett Heenan were also among the standouts.

Jets face a stiff task as plans unravel Greenvale will have to step up to a higher level if it is to get a second crack at Aberfeldie in Essendon District Football League premier division finals. The Jets were disappointing after quarter-time in their semi-final against the Gorillas, being held goal-less in both the second and third quarters. There was no last-quarter comeback for the Jets, as they lost 10.14 (74) - 3.6 (24) Jets coach Shannon Grant was very disappointed. “We went out there with a plan … but for certain reasons that didn’t happen,” he said. “Full credit to Aberfeldie – they had good players all across the ground.” Grant said he was happy with the start to the game but it all went downhill from there. “I was pleased with the way we started and
played well for the first quarter,” he said. “But then their better players started to get on top. “We had great opportunities in both the second and third quarters to put on scoreboard pressure.” Nicholas Parthenopoulos, Addam Maric and Christopher Spinella were Greenvale’s goal scorers. Grant said Josh Smith, David Sardo and Jarryd Bonello were best in the loss. “The defenders stood really tall, especially with the amount of ball that was coming their way,” Grant said. Recovery and making sure the players have the right mindset is the key for preparing to play Keilor this weekend in the preliminary final. A date with Aberfeldie in the grand final a week later awaits the winner.
“I’m going to give them a couple of days off to recover and repair, with Keilor being another quality outfit,” Grant said. Grant is expecting a tough contest against the Blues, who beat the Jets by six points the last time the two met in round 16. The Jets won the first match of the season between the two by 45 points. The Blues won through to the preliminary final with a 20.11 (131) - 12.10 (82) win over Pascoe Vale. “They are a very good team and have good players in every position,” said Grant, of the Blues. “It will be a tough game against a good side.” Tara Murray Greenvale’s Addam Maric.

Super stopping effort by City goalkeeper
Jacana’s Michael Evans gets through the pack.

Jags prove coach wrong By Tara Murray Jacana players have proved a lot of people wrong in the Essendon District Football League, most of all their coach. Aaron Collins told a club function midway through the season he didn’t think his side was good enough to make the division 2 grand final. But his players made him eat his words on Saturday, when the Jaguars beat Roxburgh Park 13.9 (87) - 10.10 (70) to reach a grand final against Hadfield. “It’s unbelievable,” an emotional Collins said straight after the game. “They’ve worked so hard. They just deserve it. “From where we have come from . . . we have been down, and to bounce back like this today is unbelievable.” The previous time Jacana met Roxburgh Park, in the final round of the season, the
Magpies had 17 scoring shots to four in the first half. But this time the Jaguars jumped out of the blocks, with six goals to one in the first quarter. “That was a massive focus this week,” Collins said. “Our first quarter was to just get away from them and really hurt them. They came back in the second quarter.” The Magpies hit the front late in the second quarter after seven straight goals, the Jaguars only goal for the quarter coming from Chris Johnson after the siren. “That goal was really important just to get everyone back on track,” Collins said. “At half-time we just went through everything we’d worked on during the week.” The second half started the same way as the first, with the Jaguars in charge. “Our midfield stepped up and dominated the game,” Collins said. “I can’t remember the clearance numbers, but we smashed them. The midfielders worked hard and set us up and
that’s what we expect from our midfielders. They’re our leaders and they did a brilliant job.” Despite leading by 25 points at three-quarter -time, the Jaguars knew the game wasn’t over, as the Magpies were kicking to the end where 18 of the 21 goals had been scored. “It was more about being patient,” Collins said. “We’d been there before in leading close games. We’d had practice in tight games and we knew that if we stuck to our structures everything would be fine. “They did that. They really wanted it. I didn’t even hear the siren.” The Jaguars are expecting a tough match against runaway minor premier Hadfield at Windy Hill this weekend. “There’s nothing to lose, so how good is that?” Collins said. “Hadfield is a fantastic side but we’ll go in there thinking we can win it.”
Hume City goalkeeper Chris Oldfield defied all expectations in Friday night’s penalty shoot-out against Melbourne Knights in its NPL qualifying final. Penalty shots normally go in favour of the kicker yet Oldfield saved four straight Knights penalties to send his team into the semi-finals where City will play Bentleigh Greens on Friday night. City coach Louie Acevski said he was confident Oldfield could do the job but didn’t expect what unfolded. Oldfield saved all four Knights penalty attempts, while Jai Ingham and Shane Rexhepi put their shots in the back of the net for City. “You normally back the kicker to score 80 per cent of the time and the keeper to save 20 per cent,” Acevski said. “I’ve never seen a goalkeeper save four penalties in a row. After the first two, you could see the third player was nervous. Chris had them on the back foot and I knew he was going to save the fourth shot.” Scores had been 2-2 after normal time with Marcus Schroen and Ingham the scorers for City. “It was a pretty even first half,” Acevski said. “In the second half we created a lot of opportunities, but we didn’t take them. “We could have been three, four even five up. But credit to the Knights – they scored an equaliser. In extra time they sat back deep and defended.” It’s the second time in big matches this winter that City has been able to run out 120 minutes of football and get the win. The side won through to the FFA Cup round of 16 with the final play of extra time against Brisbane Strikers. “The boys are super-fit,” Acevski said. “It doesn’t scare … having to play extra time knowing they have a really good fitness base.” City was to play Sydney Olympic on Tuesday night in the FFA Cup round of 16. “We set goals at the start of the year and we’ve achieved all of them,” Acevski said. “We need to enjoy the journey and hopefully we can snare a trophy along the way. You need a little bit of luck.” Petar Franjic is the only injury concern going into the game after he copped a knock against the Knights. In NPL 1, Whittlesea Ranges had a 4-0 win over Springvale Eagles on Saturday at Epping Stadium. The win was the Ranges’ first win in seven games.

Eagles find form in time By Tara Murray Whittlesea’s Northern Football League division 2 season is already a winner, whatever happens next. After being relegated from division 1 last season, the Eagles decided to build a team that would be there for the next five years. And although they’re only one season into the plan, the Eagles are now only one win away from a grand final appearance after beating the form team of the competition, Fitzroy Stars, in an elimination final on Sunday. The Eagles hadn’t been playing their best football in the previous month but found what had been missing to beat the Stars 14.2 (86) 11.5 (71). Eagles coach Brad Dean said it was the most consistent game of football his team had played all year. “It was really pleasing to play that way after the previous month,” he said. “They played well when it mattered and [it] was a consistent four-quarter game.” Dean said he didn’t change too much during the week to try to end the form slump. “We kept things very light and kept the players relaxed,” he said. “We weren’t worried about the repercussions of the result; it was about embracing the opportunity to play footy finals. “That’s the mindset the boys carried into the game.” After an even first quarter, the Eagles took control and led by 28 points at three-quarter-time. “There wasn’t a real breeze, but we knew they would come at us in the final quarter,” Dean said. “They played some good football and got the margin back to nine points. “I was pleased with our composure and we were able to turn the tide back our way and hold onto the ball. We were very disciplined.” Dean said the roles of Scott McAuliffe and Janan Daniel were crucial to the win. “Scott got the job on Peter Hood and that is the reason we won,” he said. “Hood is the best player in the competition and Scott nullified him. “Janan went to John Hayes and stopped his impact. “We didn’t have any passengers and there was a real even contribution.” The Eagles play Hurstbridge in the preliminary final at Epping Recreation Reserve on Saturday for a chance to play Lalor in the grand final. “There’s no pressure on us,” Dean said. “We’ve already made huge strides and if we play well enough we can make the grand final.” Dean said Dale Saddington and Nathan Stefanile were chances to overcome injury and come back into the side. Lalor won through to the grand final with a 14.14 (98) - 9.6 (60) win over Hurstbridge. For the full report on Lalor’s win, go to www. starweekly.com.au
Last kick ends Bulls finals chances Bundoora’s dream run in the Northern Football League division 1 season came to a heartbreaking end in the first week of the finals on Saturday. The Bulls went into the elimination final against Northcote Park as one of the form teams of the competition and were right in the mix until the dying seconds. The Bulls were three goals down late in the last quarter before one last comeback and were only three points behind, 17.3 (105) - 15.12 (102), when the final siren sounded. Getting so close made the loss hurt so much more, according to Bulls football manager Daryl Richards. “A three-point loss is hard in any game, let alone a final,” Richards said. “Both teams came to play but there had to be a winner and a loser. “We had a shot on goal from 30 metres out with 45 seconds to go and it hit the top of the post. We could have won it.” Richards highlighted the Bulls’ poor second quarter and Northcote Park’s accurate kicking. “They finished with 17.3 and two of them were rushed behinds, meaning they kicked 17.1,” he said. “We had a poor set-up in the second quarter, when we had a slight breeze, and they got us in that quarter. “We were a little undisciplined and maybe played a little bit of individual football.” Jimmy Lord was best for the Bulls, kicking seven goals in a massive effort up forward. Josh Grabowski, Brendan Carlyon and Nick Grabowski were the others to stand out. Despite the loss, Richards said the club had a lot to be proud of this season. “I couldn’t be prouder of the boys,” he said. “At the start of the season everyone was talking about us being in the relegation zone but we got to the finals. “The last six weeks were amazing.” Richards said planning for next season had already begun. “We were one ruckman down all year and Matty Dennis was stuffed come the end of the season after shouldering the whole load,” he said. “Another tall defender would be good as well. “Planning for next season started a month ago.” Richards said veteran and former AFL player Gary Moorcroft looked likely to go on. “He says his body is feeling good and if he wants to play we’ll play him,” he said.

Young underdogs fight their way to grand final Epping’s self-belief is growing as its players dream of premiership glory in Northern Football League division 2. Having finished fourth, the Pingers have defeated Watsonia and South Morang in the finals on the way to a grand final match-up with Reservoir. On Saturday, the Pingers didn’t feel they were home against South Morang until the final siren went. After leading at three-quarter-time, the Pingers trailed for most of the last quarter. A goal to Shannan Ciavarella in the final 30 seconds gave the Pingers a 7.11 (53) - 5.18 (48) win. Epping coach Steve Power said the second 18 NORTHERN STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 1, 2015
half of the last quarter was a nerve-racking affair. “It virtually came down to the last kick of the day,” Power said. “South Morang had a lot of ball in their 50 in the final quarter and couldn’t covert. “From midway through the last quarter, our defence was under the pump and they did a really good job. We were able to force a free kick in front of goal and we all wanted the siren to go then.” Power said he had full faith in Ciavarella’s ability to kick the goal. “We knew Shannan was going to kick the goal,” he said. “I spoke to him after the game and, like me, he wanted the siren to go. He said
it was a boyhood dream to kick the goal to get his side into a grand final.” Jayden Kearney was the only multiple goalscorer for the Pingers with two. “He did the job on Luke Shelton after he got a lot of the ball early on,” Power said. “He got forward and kicked a couple of goals. Our leaders were really good, too.” For the Lions, Paul Harrison kicked two goals and Shelton was named their best player. A win in the grand final would mean the Pingers would return to division 2 after a single season in division 3. “We were disappointed last year as a football club, as we’d done so much work over the last 18 months,” Power said.
“We won five games last year, which would have been enough for us to avoid relegation this year. “A lot of kids have been given an opportunity and we are still a young side. “This is something they can use as experience. The playing group is jumping out of their skins.” The Pingers will enter the grand final as underdogs after losing all three matches to Reservoir during the season. “It’s a tough challenge and the kids are up for it,” Power said. “All I ask for is they give 100 per cent.” Tara Murray
