Kangaroos savour premiership win It was a day to remember for the Sunbury Kangaroos in the Essendon District Football League division 2 competition. Having moved to the EDFL in the off season, the Kangaroos were the standouts and completed the perfect season, beating Moonee Valley in the grand final. The club’s reserves also claimed the premiership earlier in the day. ■ For more on the Kangaroos’ senior premiership, turn to page 19.
Home care cancelled Macedon Ranges council is set to scrap its Meals on Wheels service, as well as a home and community care program. In response to reforms in the aged and disability services sector, the council will stop providing these services as early as next year. Residents using the services will need to search for alternative providers. Currently 17 residents use the meals on wheels service provided by council, while 35 people use the community care program, which provides services for young people with
a disability, chronic illness or short-term health needs that do not meet the National Disability Insurance Scheme [NDIS] eligibility criteria. The council’s community wellbeing director Karen Stevens said the HACCPYP service is currently supporting 35 people and the council had not seen an increase in demand. “The challenge with that program is that it’s still funded by the state [government] and therefore has a whole set of other requirements and standards that we need to meet,” she said. “The scales are just not there to respond to those requirements for such a small service.” The council will notify the state government

The council will help clients with the changes and will support residents while considering options, choosing new providers and planning transitions to new services. “It’s really important to have a timeframe that is a reasonable timeframe for people to make adjustments and to ensure that each client is managed individually through the process,” Ms Stevens said.

Residents divided over parking By Jessica Micallef Proposed changes to parking restrictions in Pasley and Ligar streets in Sunbury have residents divided. Hume council is considering introducing four hour parking on one side of Pasley Street, between Riddell and Gap roads, with permit holders exempt. The other side of the street would remain unrestricted. The council’s sustainable infrastructure and services director Peter Waite said the council was contacted by Pasley and Ligar street
residents concerned about a lack of available parking because of a high demand for all day parking from train commuters. “With studies revealing more than 70 per cent of available on-street parking was occupied in these streets during the day, the streets met the warrants under council’s parking policy for consideration to ensure space is available for residents and their visitors,” he said. “Council sent letters to residents in these streets last month requesting their feedback on the proposed change. Council is currently collating this feedback before deciding later
this year whether to introduce time-based restrictions to the locations.” Sunbury resident Julie said she often had to catch an earlier train to work so she could secure a parking spot at the station. She said putting restrictions on Pasley Street would make finding a carpark more difficult. “They [council] keep restricting parking. They haven’t given us any alternatives to park,” she said. “The carpark is full by 6.45am. My daughter goes into university four hours earlier and catches the train with me at 7.07am because you can’t get a park [later]. I’m travelling earlier
and earlier. There are no carparks for our commuters.” Julie’s daughter Isabel urged the council to fix parking at the station. She said she often had no choice but to park in Pasley Street, but she was concerned for her safety in doing so. “There’s no security. I’ve had to walk to Pasley Street at 8.30pm and it’s not the safest place. There are no lights,” she said. A Pasley Street resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said they were pleased the council was considering time-based parking.

Woolworths Sunbury has gone quiet. The supermarket giant is offering a low-sensory shopping experience at its Sunbury store, known as quiet hour, in a bid to assist customers who find it difficult to shop in a loud and busy environment. The store will lower its lights, turn down the music and radio and turn off buzzers for an hour every Tuesday between 10.30-11.30am. Volumes on store phones and registers will be lowered, roll cages will be removed from the shop floor and no PA announcements will be made, excluding emergencies. The store will join more than 260 stores across Australia taking part in quiet hour. Woolworths operations manager Nanette Rose said she was delighted quiet hour had expanded to Sunbury. “We’ve heard from our customers there is need in the community for a low sensory shopping experience in the area,” she said. “Our team takes great pride in ensuring the store is quieter and less stressful for customers who want to shop during quiet hour and we look forward to welcoming them in store.” Disability service provider Life Without Barriers chief executive Claire Robbs welcomed the initiative for the Sunbury store. “Quiet hour is a fantastic accessibility initiative by Woolworths that recognises that people have different accessibility needs,” she said. “It gives people a way to do their shopping and increase their independence in an environment that is not stressful and overwhelming to them.”

Calder safety campaign ramps up By Jessica Micallef The Calder Action Group is renewing calls for Calder Freeway upgrades, including building an overpass at one of the freeway’s notorious intersections. Group members have erected a sign along the freeway, calling on the government to “Fix the Calder”. Group public relations officer and New Gisborne resident Russell Mowatt said he spoke from experience after being involved in an accident with his daughter in 2012 on the freeway.
“People are getting impatient and a lot of accidents have happened with lane changes or they’re trying to make a lane out of nothing,” he said. “I survived that but a lot of people don’t. If you’re getting all these accidents wouldn’t it be in your best interest to make it safer?” In February, the federal government committed $50 million to upgrade the Calder Freeway, including adding extra lanes between Gap Road, Sunbury and the M80 Ring Road. Group president Ian Sutherland said he was disappointed in the state government’s lack of commitment to the project.
“It’s an issue and I don’t think [premier[ Daniel Andrews knows,” he said. “I think he’s got a political view that the south-east is very important and the west can wait.” Mr Mowatt said building a Calder Park Drive overpass onto the freeway was the biggest priority. “During peak periods, the traffic is banking up onto the freeway,” he said. According to a report by Infrastructure Australia, the Calder Freeway will become Melbourne’s second most congested road during morning peak and the third most congested in the evening peak by 2031.

“People can sell anything you can imagine, it’s all available,” he said. “If people are moving houses they can sell everything. Other people specialise in certain things, maybe car parts. It’s so broad that you can’t pin it down.” Mr Irvine said the whole town garage sale was a great community event. “There are cars buzzing all around Romsey on that morning,” he said. “It’s a very popular thing.” The garage sale will be on Saturday, September 14 from 8am.

Bloody good effort Paul Ruff has rolled up his sleeve as a blood donor for nearly five decades. The Kyneton resident last week donated blood for the 700th time with the Australian Red Cross Blood Service in Melbourne. Mr Ruff, 67, first donated blood when he was 18 years-old. “A family member had a procedure and needed a blood transfusion and I thought why not,” he said. “I can give something back. “When one of our kids was born, my wife needed a blood transfusion. My wife and both my kids became blood donors.” Mr Ruff regularly donates blood on a two-week basis and has “donated blood all over Australia”.
Just before his 49th birthday, Mr Ruff went in for a regular blood donation but was told he had high blood pressure. “They told me to get myself medicated,” he said. “If I hadn’t done that, I might have had a stroke or who knows what might have happened. “I feel very thankful for the blood service. To become a blood donor you might save a life and the life you save might be your own.” Mr Ruff is aiming to reach his 1000th blood donation. “It’s one of those things that once you get yourself into the routine it’s self-disciplined,” he said.

Climbing forest adds to therapy By Jessica Micallef A climbing forest at the Romsey Ecotherapy Park is taking shape. Planning and design work has begun on a climbing forest suitable for all ages which will include a three metre-high rope course, lookouts, a rope bridge, a vertical climbing net and a hammock. Romsey Ecotherapy Park president Raelene Mottram said the forest would be a “wonderful addition” to the park. “With the sensory therapeutic space also receiving a funding commitment from the
Victorian government and construction on the horizon for 2020-21, the region’s community and visitors have much to be excited about,” she said. Macedon Ranges mayor Janet Pearce said she was looking forward to the plans being implemented on the site. “After the success of stage one of the park, I’m so pleased to see the climbing forest added over spring and early summer this year,” she said. “The Romsey Ecotherapy Park project continues to showcase what is possible when government and community come together. Council would really like to acknowledge the
years of work and dedication by this group of volunteers which has led us to this exciting stage of the project.” The council purchased the former Romsey Primary School site in 2015 in an effort to create the park. Stage one began last July and has been completed. The space includes a cubby house, landscaped areas, seating, paths and nature-based play elements. In November last year, the state government announced $718,000 funding to help deliver a sensory therapeutic space. Planning for this space will start later this year and construction
is scheduled for spring 2020. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said she was thrilled with the park’s progress. “Local community members have reimagined an old school site into the incredible park it is today,” she said. “It is through their determination and passion that local residents and visitors will have this special place to connect to the outdoors and improve their mental health and physical wellbeing.” The $200,000 climbing forest project is funded through the state government’s Pick My Project grant and is expected to be completed by December 31.
Dinner and donate The Sunbury Neighbourhood Kitchen is inviting you to its annual Pay It Forward dinner. Now in its sixth year, the dinner is the kitchen’s biggest fundraising event of the year and kitchen president Neil Williams said almost 200 people are expected to attend. “We invite people along, they pay $40 and that buys 10 meals for underprivileged people,” he said. “We’ll have a band playing, silent auctions and raffles to try and raise more money.” The annual event is a chance for members of the public to enjoy a three-course meal and live entertainment, but also see first-hand the passionate work of the kitchen’s volunteers who one day a week feed people in the community who are finding it tough. “It’s going strong,” Mr Williams said. “Last year’s Pay It Forward raised enough
funds to serve meals to 150 guests for 16 Mondays.” Donations of items for the silent auction can be made to the Sunbury Neighbourhood Kitchen. The Pay It Forward dinner will be on Monday, September 23, at the Sunbury Memorial Hall, Stawell Street from 5.30pm. Tickets: bit.ly/2k3hZtC.

MY PLACE Vivienne Grigg makes clothing and blankets from alpaca fleece. The Riddells Creek resident spoke to Jessica Micallef about her company Yaamba Alpacas and her involvement at the Riddells Creek Farmer’s Market.
What are you passionate about? I am passionate about alpacas and passionate about their fleece because I do a lot of craft, spinning, knitting and creating things with their fleece. It’s easy to work with, it’s extremely soft. It’s got a real feel to it. You can’t help but fall in love with them [alpacas]. It’s a different industry, it’s a very close, supportive industry. Tell me about Yaamba Alpacas Yaamba Alpacas started in 1999 when Terry and I bought this place. We didn’t want sheep or cattle, we wanted to have something on the land that we could work with. We saw alpacas originally in the 1980s at the Royal Melbourne Show. We looked at them and we were very curious about them. We went to a workshop and that’s when we decided what we could do here – we could breed alpacas and breed for the quality of their fleece. It was something I could
do on my own and handle because they are easy on the land. They’re very calm, peaceful animals – they don’t push through the fences, they don’t dig up the land. They’re quite unique animals compared to others. You’re a stall holder at the Riddells Creek Farmer’s Market – how long have you been involved with the monthly event? I’ve been doing the market for about 14 years now. They invited us down there to bring along some alpacas as a display. We took along some raw fleece and some yarn to show because people are quite curious as to what we do with alpacas. My eldest sister then moved down from Mildura and she’s an avid knitter, the same as I, and we started to get inquiries about knitting a jumper or hat, which we did. It’s grown every year since then. We love the interaction with people. It’s our hobby, our craft. What products do you sell at the market? We sell children’s wear, from baby to the start of primary school-aged – hats, booties, jackets and jumpers. We do hats for adults, and scarves. What challenges do you come across being a stall holder and working with alpacas? Sometimes it can be a time thing. It’s also being able to have enough fleece to be able to turn into yarn. What would people be most surprised to know about you? I think a lot of people that know me are quite surprised I do spinning. I suppose because it’s an old craft.
(Shawn Smits)
What is your connection to the Macedon Ranges? I grew up in Riddells Creek. My father and mother came up here in 1960. We’ve been here for quite a long time. Terry [husband] and I moved away for a short period after we were married and then we came back and raised our children in this area because it’s a lovely country atmosphere. My father and husband were always into horses. We always had horses around and when Terry and I came out here and bought this property, we wanted something a bit more environmentally friendly on the ground [something] that’s not as hard as hoofed animals such as cows and horses.

Property of the week
LANCEFIELD 87 Pyalong Road, 3435 Chess Property Consultants: 5429 5544
Price: $1.15 million
Ready to make dreams of a country lifestyle a reality, this excellent homestead sits on about 8.09 hectares of fertile soil, with three dams and good fencing on board. The house has a fab as-new kitchen, with its floorboards flowing through to the adjoining casual meals and sitting areas, the latter with an inset wood heater, split-system and ceiling fan. A stack of white cupboards and pot drawers accompany a giant timber-topped

island bench and glass splashbacks in the kitchen. It also has a walk-in pantry, and wall oven, electric cooktop and concealed dishwasher. An open carpeted step-down lounge-dining room neighbours the kitchen and has cedar-framed windows (as all through) providing appealing views. The four newly carpeted fitted bedrooms are large enough for king beds and share a spacious renovated bathroom with separate
tub and shower. The laundry/mudroom includes a shower and second toilet. Lifestyle treats step it up outside, where a tennis court guarantees family fun, and a period-style gazebo in the grounds invites a cuppa and read of the newspaper in seclusion. A deep wraparound verandah provides other spots to chase or avoid the sun, and to soak up the peace and quiet of rural living in a pretty setting.

If a pony or two is on the wish list, there are stables, a tack room and a round yard ready and waiting. One of the dams has an arched timber bridge to a treed island – perhaps a place from which to do a bit of bird watching or feed the visiting ducks. Solar panels and big water tanks are other inclusions at a property that’s within a four-minute car trip of the heart of town. Carole Levy

In a popular locale, this well-maintained residence has a terrific floor plan that includes a wonderful rumpus room that juts out into the pretty gardens and has banks of windows on three sides. Other living spaces include elegant carpeted lounge and dining rooms, the lounge room with a brick fireplace; and a tiled family-meals area with wood heater, supplementing gas ducted heating and split-systems. The large kitchen, with loads of timber cabinetry and bench space, has an electric cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher. The huge main bedroom has a bay window, walk-in robe and a dual-basin en suite. The other two fitted bedrooms, plus a study/fourth bedroom, share a hallway with main bathroom, separate toilet and laundry. The property has established landscaping. Included are town gas and water, solar panels, a carport and drive-through garage, and a workshop.
The lovely gardens on the block of about 930 square metres are a standout at this place, while the contemporary house more than measures up. It has the popular grey/white palette with the warm counterfoil of Tasmanian oak floorboards all through (including bedrooms), and pearl-grey roller blinds on all double-glazed windows. The expansive living domain, with access to an undercover alfresco area, incorporates a smart kitchen. It has abundant two-tone cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry, a dishwasher and a 900mm cooker with gas cooktop and self-cleaning electric oven. The three fitted bedrooms are a good size, the main with walk-in robe and grey-tiled en suite. A gas log fire, split-system and ceiling fans ensure year-round comfort. Want more? Sunblinds, gutter-guards, two garden sheds and a double garage are included.

“FORTHCOMING AUCTION”
6146m² 58 Chauncey Street LANCEFIELD “A Golden Opportunity Is Here” An extraordinary opportunity is here to own one and a half acres in an ideal location.
T wn water, power, sewerage and To phone are all connected with town gas available.
The existing home has seen better days but “renovate or detonate” the fact remains that this is a prized location with endless possibilities.
Reasonable offfffers will be considered prior to Auction. E.S.P $515,000 - $570,000
Subdivide (STCA) A or extend and A) Auction - Saturday 5th October at renovate the existing home, or both, 11.30am. the choice is yours. Situated, as this property is, across the road from Lancefield sporting facilities and playground, a short walk to St Mary’s Primary School and the State Primary School and with the High School bus stop near by the location could not be better.
“Three OuT Of five” W have five senses and most of us are fortunate We enough to be able to use them all although, as we age, two of them, sight and hearing, do tend to diminish. Y u may well ask “what has this to do with real Yo estate?” the answer “ quite a lot”. I was interested to read an article this week in regard to the things that will turn buyers away from a property and one of the top “turn-off f s” was smell! ff W buy a property based on many things but three We of our five senses play a big part – sight, smell and hearing. So, let’s start with smell. Pet smell, bleach, highly perfumed candles are all really off f putting as ff is the odour of dirty rubbish bins or cigarettes. Clean, fresh air, r maybe one candle, fresh flowers are pleasing r, to the sense of smell. Sight is of course one of the first senses that we use in our hunt for a property – it is that “first impression” that I do carry on about. A neat garden, well painted fence, clean gutters and as we enter the home, an attractive door mat and an “uncluttered” appearance.
The simple weatherboard home consists of three bedrooms, lounge room, large kitchen, bathroom, larder and extended laundry.
OPEN 7 DAYS
Sound is something that we often overlook and is also something that we cannot control. Noisy neighbours, low flying aircraft or traffic noise is to do with “location” and we have no control over this. We W do have control over “sound” in our own property and constantly barking dogs or loud music are distracting and “off f putting”. ff Three of our five senses have a strong impact on our reaction to a property so when selling think about how your property looks, smells and sounds. When buying think about what can be changed when you move in.

17 SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES STAR WEEKLY \ SEPTEMBER 10, 2019
SPORT Lions grind out victory in difficult conditions Tactics were thrown out the window on Sunday, as the Sunbury Lions played for a preliminary final berth in the Ballarat Netball League. With rain pelting at Ballarat, it was going to be a matter of who handled the conditions better, the Lions or Lake Wendouree. The Lions opened up a third quarter lead, and held it for the remainder of the game, winning 40-36. Lions coach Adam Boldiston said it was a relief to come away with the win. “It was really difficult conditions,” he said. “I was really wet and windy. It was so hard, that it was blowing the ball back over heads. “It would have been hard to see out there.” Boldiston was full of praise for all five goalers, from across both teams, for shooting at such a high accuracy despite the conditions. The Lions trailed by a goal at half-time and made a couple of changes, including bringing Shelby Holter on at goal attack.
The changes worked well, with the Lions able to keep their composure in the second half when needed. Boldiston said Amanda Cusack, who missed last week, was the standout on court. “Amanda was rock solid,” he said. “She had a really strong game and gave both Shelby and Ruth [Smith] confidence to put up shots. “Ash Hardy was the other key, pulling in some key rebounds and intercepts when really needed.” Boldiston said the weather stopped teams from showing what they can really do. “It was a really hard grind and we played in the worst conditions and managed to get the win.” The Lions will face North Ballarat City in the preliminary final. North Ballarat lost its semi-final to East Point, 41-39. The Lions and North Ballarat City played in the first week of finals, which North Ballarat
City won. “We are really looking forward to it,” Boldiston said. “We know it will be a tough game and we know we have to bring our A-grade game. “We haven’t done that for four quarters yet and we’re yet to show our full hand.” East Point awaits the winner in the grand final. The Lions B-grade side lost and was knocked out of the finals, while C-grade and under-19s are also through to preliminary finals. The Lions reserves footballers are through to the grand final, while the under-19s will play in a preliminary final. Tara Murray Amanda Cusack made a welcome return for the Sunbury Lions.

Cats in grand final, again By Tara Murray Macedon’s hopes of back-to-back Riddell District Netball League premierships remain alive, with the Cats through to the grand final on Sunday. The Cats left Wallan stunned in Saturday’s preliminary final at Romsey Park, with a fast start. While the Cats slowed in the second half and the Magpies were able to peg back the margin a touch, the Cats still did enough to win 37-28. Cats playing coach Ciara Stewart said they were more settled heading into this game than they had their previous two finals. “I thought we were a big chance of beating them,” she said. “Last time we played them we won by 11 and were missing Caitlyn Alifraco. They have yet to beat us in the last two years. “I knew it would be close, but I thought we had something to match every player.”
Like in their first two finals, the Cats started well. This, though, was their best start, leading 15-2 at quarter-time. It left the Magpies with a lot of work to do and they started to bring-in the changes. The game became wet and physical in the second half, but the Cats managed to maintain a decent lead, despite Wallan stepping up. Stewart said poor third quarters was something that they need to work on. But overall, she was happy. “The girls were better and they turned the ball over less,” she said. “We tried lots of combos and it was a good win.” Chloe Wilson shot 31 goals from 45 attempts and was one of the Cats’ best. Defender Janelle Birch was named best on court. For Wallan, Gemma Grimmond was named their best. The Cats now face Rupertswood in the grand final. The Sharks are the only team that the Cats

haven’t beaten this season. Last time the two teams met was in the qualifying final, with the Sharks winning 35-28. Stewart said she hoped their experiences from the past few years would hold them in good stead. “Last time we played them it was our worst game for the year and we lost by seven goals. “We learned a lot from that. We’ve pretty much had the same team the last three years, so we’ve got some different scenarios and hopefully we have them covered.” The A-grade side is one of two Cats’ sides into the grand final. The under-19s upset Woodend-Hesket, winning 26-18. The Cats’ B-grade side though was knocked out, losing to an experienced Romsey side 39-16. Rupertswood has all four netball teams through to the grand final, with its C-grade side beating Broadford, 27-18.
It was a disappointing result for Gisborne as it was bundled out of the Bendigo Netball League finals in straight sets. Looking to bounce back after a poor second half last week, it was heartbreak for the Bulldogs, who went down by one goal, 47-46. Bulldogs captain Maddy Stewart said it was an up and down game in wet conditions. Hail and an injury to an opposition player halted play for five to 10 minutes before the last quarter. “We were down by seven at quarter-time as they started well,” Stewart said. “We got back into it in the second quarter and were up by two goals at half-time. “It was equal in the third quarter and then we lost by a goal.” Stewart said while it wasn’t their best performance, it was better than the week before. She said midcourter Tiana Newman was the best in the loss, but there weren’t any standouts. Stewart said she was proud with how the side had come through a difficult season which had a number of injuries, but was disappointed not to go further into the season. She said their form at the back of the season was not where they wanted it to be. “We looked at the double chance as an achievement for the season,” she said. “We looked at it last week and were really happy to have it. We didn’t capitalise on it today.” It was a mixed weekend for the Bulldogs, with their under-17s and A-reserve still alive in finals, while their B-reserve was knocked out. Stewart said they would get around the other two teams next week. The Bulldogs senior footballers are through to the preliminary final after beating Golden Square, 16.10 (106)-5.13 (43). The Bulldogs will face Eaglehawk in a preliminary final. The Bulldogs reserves and under-18s were both knocked out. Tara Murray

Kangaroos take the title By Tara Murray Sunbury Kangaroos have capped off a perfect debut season in the Essendon District Football League, claiming the division 2 premiership on Saturday at Windy Hill. Undefeated this season, all the pressure was on the Kangaroos when they took on an in-form Moonee Valley. The Kangaroos stood up, coming away with the 12.15 (87)-11.5 (71) win. The premiership is the club’s second senior premiership, following a win on the siren in 2012 in the Riddell District Football League. Kangaroos coach Anthony Leydin was numb after the game. “We were waiting for that final siren,” he said. “We looked like we were tiring and they were coming over the top of us. I think we had a big enough of a buffer with our effort in the early part of the last quarter. “It was still a bit too close for comfort. It’s a pretty amazing performance by Moonee Valley, it was quite a tussle.” It was a stressful couple of weeks leading into the grand final for the Kangaroos, with the injury list bigger than they would have liked. Leydin said they only finalised the team late on Friday night. “What people don’t know, we had to get over quite a few battles to put out a team we thought could compete, and compete they did,” he said. “We’ve been the walking wounded for the last two weeks. We’ve had three guys on crutches, two in hospital and four at the physio. “Latch [Lachlan Baddeley] has a partial ACL tear, David House, I’m not even sure what his injury was, Mick Kilty tore the lateral ligaments in his ankle, Burgo [Josh Burgess] had a potential blood clot through a corkie and Bogey [Brenton Sutherland] with his meniscus, they’re the ones I know of.” All of those injured played besides Burgess. Leydin and captain Daniel Gregory still called him on stage and gave him a premiership medal after the game. Leydin said while it was a risk to play them it was one that they were prepared to take. “We knew it was always a risk and performance-wise it’s hard to tell whether the risk paid off. In terms of emotionally and spiritually, having a couple of those guys out there today, just knowing they were out there, carried a lot of currency.” Once on the field, the Kangaroos were up for the battle. The Fog led at quarter-time by 12 points, having kicked with the wind in the opening quarter. With the breeze in the second term, the Kangaroos controlled the quarter, kicking 6.9 to open up a 27-point lead.

The Fog came back at the Kangaroos in the third quarter, with the margin back to one point at the last break and a thriller on the cards. Leydin said they were confident heading into the final quarter. “We’ve been in a lot of close games, whilst being undefeated. I think today was evident of the fact that we knew what we were doing at the time.” The Kangaroos kicked the first four goals of the last quarter to get out to a match-winning lead. While the Fog came at them in the dying minutes, it was too late. Ruckman Brenton Sutherland was awarded the best-on-ground medal. Sutherland spent 85 per cent of the day in the ruck, despite his knee
injury. Leydin said there was several others that could have taken home the medal, with no passengers in the performance. “[John] Corso was fantastic and Greggers [Daniel Gregory] was arguably best on ground. “Quigs [Matt Quigley] was good as well and [Christian] Monaco I thought was good. He was a middle tier player who stood up. “Jake Young has unbounded amount of talent and we saw that today.” Corso and Young kicked three goals apiece for the Kangaroos. The win was the second of the day for the Kangaroos, with their reserves claiming the premiership, beating the Northern Saints, 10.6 (66)-8.6 (54). Having made the move to the EDFL in the
off season, the Kangaroos have had a successful introduction into the competition. Next season they will be in division 1. Leydin admits he was one who had some doubts about the move across. “It just goes to show, what do I know?,” he said. “I wasn’t in favour of it, in the sense of having to come through division 2. From the club’s point of view to have the success we’ve had this year, will hopefully be a good platform and springboard at the higher level. “You all saw the support Sunbury had in the stands today and around the ground, it shows we’re a big club and we mean business. “We might be coming from a long way back in division 1, but we’ve got a lot of support .”
Victory is just as sweet the second time around
Daniel Gregory in action during the grand final. (Shawn Smits)
Sunbury Kangaroos captain Daniel Gregory said it would take a few days to sink in that he is now a two-time premiership player with the club. One of the young boys in the Kangaroos’ first senior premiership in 2012, Gregory led from the front on Saturday as the Kangaroos claimed the Essendon District Football League division 2 premiership. The Kangaroos were pushed all the way by Moonee Valley, but were able to hold on to complete an undefeated season, winning 12.15 (87)-11.5(71). Gregory said it was pretty surreal. “A lot of relief, but we’ve been the best for the year and it’s really a good win,” he said. “I’m proud of the boys and the footy club. “There was the expectation that we were going to probably do well externally, but we knew that it would be a fight and Moonee Valley played really well. “It was a fight to the end.” Gregory, who was named among the best, even found himself on the goal kicking list for
a rare occasion. After receiving a free kick just outside 50 in the second quarter, the full-back went back and slotted it. “I reckon I got one against Keilor Park this year,” Gregory said of his last goal. “Everyone was sniffing around for a crumb, but I thought I would go back and kick. “We had goal kicking on Thursday at training and I missed every one. “I never ever thought I would kick a goal in the grand final. “Me and Matty Leonard are having a bit of a competition. I might tell him a goal in a grand final is worth four and win the competition this year.” Gregory said this premiership was different from the one in 2012. “Last time was winning off the final kick, this one was a bit more comfortable. “We were out on our feet and credit to them, it was just a hard game of footy. “I’ll think about it the next couple of days.” Brenton Sutherland is another one of the two-time premiership players at the club.
The big man, who is better known at Bogut, was awarded the best-on-ground for his efforts in the ruck. While he may have been the tallest on the field, Sutherland was getting among the packs and playing like a midfielder. “A few knocks to the head will do that to you,” he said of playing like a midfielder. “It’s been a good hard year and it’s good to get the result in the end. “I was a bit surprised [to win the medal], I thought John Corso was a bit stiff, but I’m happy with it.” Kangaroos coach Anthony Leydin revealed after the game that Sutherland had played in the grand final with a strained meniscus. The others to be part of both senior Kangaroos premierships are Tierone Cuffe, Matt Welsh, Matthew Leonard, Mitch Streiff and Jared Pretty. Gregory said he was proud of what the club had achieved as a whole this year. Tara Murray
