Winner: Geoff Ablett in the 1979 Grand Final sprint Good sport: Geoff Ablett played 202 games for the Hawks. Picture: Luis Enrique Ascui/AFR

The plea is: let’s get physicalBY CATHERINE WATSON ‘I said to a grade 6 class, ‘How many

of you can slowly jog for fourminutes?’ Twenty-five per cent of theclass made it. The rest stopped afterabout one minute.’ — Geoff Ablett

AUSTRALIANS, smarten up! That’s the pleafrom Casey councillor and 200-game VFLveteran Geoff Ablett.

The former phys-ed teacher wants Casey totake the lead in making phys-ed and health edu-cation compulsory in all Australian schools.

Cr Ablett, who played 202 games for Haw-thorn in the 1970s and ’80s, works as a reliefteacher in Casey primary schools and said hehad been appalled at the level of fitness amongthe pupils.

“We are an obese nation. Every school I go toI see kids coming through the gates who are10-15 kilograms overweight.

“I said to a grade 6 class, ‘How many of youcan slowly jog for four minutes?’ Twenty-fiveper cent of the class made it. The rest stoppedafter about one minute.’’

He said the problem was easily fixed with aregular compulsory daily program of physicalexercise to improve fitness and physical skills.

At last week’s council meeting, his

colleagues unanimously supported his motionto write to Prime Minister Julia GIllard, Oppos-ition Leader Tony Abbott, and all state and fed-eral ministers and shadow ministers for healthand sport pointing out the benefits of daily exer-cise for children.

Following this, the council will organise anational summit to discuss solutions to thegrowing problem of childhood obesity.

Cr Ablett said there would be some resistancefrom teachers who thought there was no roomin the curriculum for phys-ed and health educa-tion but the educational benefits of improvedhealth and fitness were imperative.

“Our children will have a much happier andhealthier life if they are fit,” he said.

BACKTOTHEFUTURE

“THE majority of adolescents are not activelyparticipating in sport and in many cases thisis because they have not developed thethreshold basic skills that will allow them toparticipate with a measure of success.”

So goes the foreword in a report on phys-ed and sport in Victorian schools written in1993, when the experts were worried about adoubling in the rates of childhood obesity onthe previous 10 years.

The solution proposed by the director ofschools education was for PE and sports tobe timetabled at all Victorian schools by1996.

Twenty years later, the rates of childhoodobesity have almost doubled again. ABureau of Statistics report published in 2010stated the obesity rate for children increasedfrom 5 per cent in 1995 to 8 per cent in2007-08. Today, a quarter of all Australianchildren, or about 600,000 children aged5-17, are overweight or obese.

At the current rate, it is predicted that 65per cent of young Australians will beoverweight or obese by 2020.

Re: Airport dream is taking offThe idea of a regional airport at Tooradin wouldbe without doubt one of the better decisions ofthe century — the travel time lost travelling to theTullamarine airport is such a waste. How ideal itwould be to hopefully either drive or hop on atrain from Cranbourne to Tooradin.

Re: ‘Don’t prejudge on mosque’A just and fair treatment is imperative in this mat-ter, as it is in all others that reach the council.Absolute justice must be the only governing prin-ciple at the foundation of any society that aspiresto create a peaceful atmosphere for its citizens. Itrust that Casey Council will indeed put intopractice their sound judgment in this decision.

Fixing roads must be a priorityAfter our strong community campaign we forcedthe Coalition government to finally provide fund-ing for the duplication of Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road, between Pound Road andThompsons Road, a project first committed to byLabor in 2010. But more needs to be done.

Thompsons Road, a key arterial road last upgradedby Labor, continues to come under pressure from ourgrowing community. If you want Thompsons Roadupgraded, send the Liberal government a message bysigning the petition.

Judith Graley, Narre Warren South MP

Intersection must be upgraded: mayorI refer to comment from Mario via the web (Weekly,March 4). Mario thinks that all that has to be donefor Evans Road to be opened to traffic is for thecouncil to pay for the rail crossing section of theroad. This information is incorrect as the rail sectionof Evans Road has already been upgraded. VicRoadswill not allow Evans Road to be opened to throughtraffic until the intersection of Evans Road/HallamRoad/South Gippsland Highway is upgraded. Whatis needed now is for VicRoads to upgrade the inter-section, and then Evans Road can be opened. TheCity of Casey is continuing its advocacy to VicRoads.

Cr Amanda Stapledon, mayor of Casey

Hospitals still face cuts: MPsWe are pleased the Coalition government has stoodup for Victorian patients and pressured the federalLabor government to reverse its decision to cut $107

million in funding from Victorian hospitals this fin-ancial year.

Unfortunately, Labor’s reversal only applies toJune 30, after which $368 million will continue tobe gouged from Victorian hospitals.

We are also disappointed that exactly the samesum of money as has now been reinstated will betaken from Victorians through funds earmarkedfor the Victorian government for other purposes. Itseems Victoria is being punished for standing up forthe rights of hospitals and patients.

Edward O’Donohue, Eastern Victoria Region MP,

Brad Battin, Gembrook MP

Re: One voice for ‘Brand Casey’I am disgusted with the way Cr [Sam] Aziz criti-cised all those locals who wrote in complainingabout his backflip on travel, and his ratepayer-funded trip to China with the mayor and thecouncil’s chief executive officer.

Cr Aziz cannot rewrite history, or stop localswriting in to complain about our money being wa-sted. This council, and the previous, delivered nomajor projects, and increased rates through theroof.

Hospital strugglesto meet demand

Struggling: Casey Hospital could do better with more doctors, nurses, beds . . . and funds.

BY CATHERINE WATSON

CASEY Hospital is struggling to cope with themassive population growth in Melbourne’ssouth-eastern suburbs.

But the vice-chairwoman of the South EasternHealth Providers Association, Sally McDonald,said the hospital was generally doing a good jobin difficult circumstances.

The latest Victorian hospital data, obtained bythe state opposition last week, shows the hospit-al’s waiting list for elective surgery jumped 20 percent from 1681 patients at the end of 2011 to2024 at the end of 2012. The increase was des-pite a 5 per cent increase in patients admitted forelective surgery — up from 1396 in the last quar-ter of 2011 to 1470 in 2012.

“They have an enormous workload,’’ DrMcDonald said. ‘‘People are moving into Caseyleft, right and centre and Casey Hospital is bear-ing the brunt of that. think they’re doing as gooda job as they can in the current circumstances.They just need funds for more beds, more doc-tors, more nurses.”

The median wait for general surgery at CaseyHospital increased from 43 days to 80 days, butthere was a huge difference across disciplines,with the median wait for vascular surgerydecreasing from 371 days to 169 while the waitfor gynaecology surgery more than trebled —from 53 days to 161 days.

Overall, only 65 per cent of elective surgerypatients were treated within time (ranging from30 days for urgent patients to 365 days for non-urgent patients), down from 82 per cent in 2011.However, all patients requiring urgent surgerywere treated within the designated 30 days.

The waiting list is expected to blow out evenmore this quarter because two operating theatresremained closed for two months after Christmasas a cost-cutting measure.

A spokeswoman for Southern Health saidCasey Hospital, Cranbourne Integrated CareCentre and Dandenong Hospital operated in oneof Melbourne’s largest growth corridors and thedemand for services had increased rapidly over anumber of years. She said the organisation wasworking with the Department of Health to

improve services across all Southern Health sites.GP Roger Smith, a board member of the South

Eastern Health Providers Association, said unin-sured patients were waiting a year or more forreplacement hips and knees.

While the waiting lists for surgery blew out,the hospital’s emergency department was amongthe best-performing in a major metropolitan hos-pitals in Australia in 2011-12. A report releasedlast month by the National Health PerformanceAuthority stated that Casey treated 69 per cent of

emergency patients within four hours in2011-12. The next-best Melbourne hospital wasthe Austin (54 per cent). Western Hospital wasthe worst performer with just 41 per cent ofpatients seen within four hours. In the last quar-ter of 2012, Casey admitted 7336 patients,including 2943 emergency patients and 3821patients who came in for same-day treatment.

The hospital was on emergency bypass 1.4 percent of the time, up from 0.1 per cent for thecorresponding period in 2011.

South-east labour force ‘better’BY CHAD VAN ESTROP and LAURA LITTLE

Worrying signs: Where to for jobs in Casey and Cardinia?

MORE than one in every four unemployed peoplein Melbourne’s growth areas lives in Casey orCardinia, new research has found.

But those bald facts are not as bad as at first theyseem.

A report by Essential Economics reveals that, asof March last year, residents of the three outer urbangrowth areas accounted for more than 30,000 ofMelbourne’s unemployed workers.

But ‘only’ 8165 of those are from the south-east,out of a total labour force of 163,255, giving a localunemployment rate of 5 per cent

That is a tiny fraction better than the then Austra-lian rate of 5.1 per cent — and significantly superiorto the other two growth areas: Melbourne North,taking in areas from Sunbury to Whittlesea, had anunemployment rate of 7.6 per cent, while inMelbourne West, the municipal areas of Melton andWyndham, the rate was 8.2 per cent.

But there is a sting in the tale. The report statedalmost 77,000 additional workers would be neededin Casey and Cardinia by 2026, when the popula-tion was expected to have grown to almost 502,000,compared to about 340,000 in 2011.

‘‘There is a significant jobs deficit acrossMelbourne’s growth areas. This is most pronounced

in Melbourne’s west and south-east,’’ it states. In2011, Casey and Cardinia had a jobs deficit of morethan 68,000.

The report, prepared for the National GrowthAreas Alliance, a group of 25 growth area councilsfrom around Australia, is part of the organisation’ssubmission to the federal budget. It outlines an‘‘emerging liveability gap’’ in capital cities, causedby unequal access to jobs and education in fringesuburbs like Casey and Cardinia.

Speaking at the Melbourne launch of the report,NGAA executive director Ruth Spielman said thefederal government needed to extend its suburbanjobs program and create town centres or employ-ment hubs and flexible learning spaces to create20,000 jobs in two years.

The report recommended Casey and Cardinia usethe Bunyip food belt to exploit job opportunities. Italso recommended the councils foster partnershipswith Agrifood Skills Australia, a governmentfunded organisation developing strategies to meetthe needs of agricultural-based businesses.

‘‘It is possible and necessary to have industries ingrowth areas that will bring jobs closer to home,’’Ms Spielman said.

The NGAA is asking Casey and Cardinia resid-ents to share their experiences of living in a growtharea at voicesofoutersuburbs.com.au.

The ‘flying rats’ areno myna matter

Mynas beware: Don Jewell is out to get you. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

BY CATHERINE WATSON

Rats of the air: Indian mynas in a trap.Picture: Paul Jeffers/Sunday Age

DON Jewell hates Indian mynas. He’s seenenough of them lording it over the birds in hisown patch — Cannons Creek — and even heardof a pack of them pulling a kookaburra out of itsnesting hollow.

For a lifelong bird lover, that’s reason enoughto declare war on one of Australia’s most hatedferals.

At last month’s meeting of Casey’s conserva-tion advisory committee, he finally managedto rally the troops behind him, after severalprevious unsuccessful attempts.

This time, members of the committee votedunanimously in favour of his motion to call in thecavalry: Casey Council.

Mr Jewell wants the council to subsidiseIndian myna traps for residents and to run itsown eradication program. Most importantly, hewants the council to help “dispose of” — that is,kill — the trapped mynas.

Personally, he says, he’d have no troublebreaking a myna’s neck but he accepts that’s notfor everyone.

The preferred option is to gas them, either withcarbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.

Mr Jewell envisages a central location whereresidents can take their trapped birds and havethem painlessly and quickly euthanased.

He says that while the mynas’ impact on nativebirds — invading their nests, breaking their eggsand killing their young — is the driving force forcontrol, they are also a serious horticultural pest

and can spread lice and disease when they nest inhouses. The committee has asked the council tolobby the state and federal governments onIndian myna eradication.

Around Cranbourne and Cannons Creek, theforces are gathering against the birds dubbed‘‘flying rats’’.

Cranbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens has beentrialling a myna trapping program and the Can-

nons Creek Residents Association and CannonsCreek foreshore committee of managementrecently joined an anti-myna group based inYarra Valley.

Mr Jewell said they had bought a couple oftraps and would start using them once theyworked out how to actually use them.

‘‘The traps are quite complicated,’’ he says,‘‘because Indian mynas are very clever birds.’’

FEATURESTORY

Salad days,and he’sdigging itVasili Kanidiadis is one of community television’s greatestsuccess stories. The passionate gardener took some raretime out to speak with EUGENE BENSON about hisreturn to where it all began.

PICTURE: MICHAEL COPP

Gardening was always going torule Vasili Kanidiadis’s life — it’sin his blood.

His early exposure to backyardveggie-growing left a lasting impres-sion and, despite stints in engineeringand even classical piano, the simplebeauty of homegrown produce iswhere his passion lies.

Kanidiadis is something of a house-hold name these days, thanks to hiscult television show Vasili’s Garden,which started broadcasting on Chan-nel 31 in 2003 and moved to SBS in2007. At its height, the show wasattracting more than 400,000 viewersa week, almost unheard of for such alow-budget show on a communitystation. The show returned to its rootson Channel 31 (broadcast on DigitalChannel 44) last week.

Flamboyant, cheerful and with apiano accordion in-tow, Kanidiadisand his camera crew have a basicformula for Vasili’s Garden: visitingmostly migrant families acrossAustralia who tell the story behind theestablishment and success of theirveggie garden.

The aim is to celebrate homegrownfood and show how even the smallestbackyard, patio or side garden can beused to grow fresh, healthy produce.

By the show’s conclusion the crewand garden owners usually wind upeating and drinking the producegrown in the garden, with Kanidiadisproviding the entertainment with hisbeloved piano accordion.

Before you know it cast, crew andgardeners are arm in arm dancing toZorba as the credits roll.

Kanidiadis reckon’s it’s all prettybasic and a lot of fun. ‘‘It’s about sim-ple people who love to garden and,yes, many are migrants with littleformal education, but the wealth ofknowledge they possess in practicalgardening is far greater than anyschool education can offer you.

‘‘This knowledge has been handeddown to them from past generations,from parents and grandparents who in

their time had to garden to survivewith simple methods, using simpleequipment and in the end achieving avery healthy and sustainable lifestyle.’’

Exceedingly proud of his ownmigrant heritage, Kanidiadis believesthe show has also struck a chordbecause it plays an important role atkeeping traditions alive.

‘‘A lot of people of my generationactually didn’t stay in touch with thetraditional practices. They got on withthe new life in Australia,’’ he says.‘‘But now there is a bit of a resurgencein some younger people, that nextgeneration. So many people we featureon the show are that generation olderthan me, so I think it’s important tokeep these methods and traditionsalive.’’

The son of Greek migrants,Kanidiadis was born in Coburg butmoved to Keilor Park at the age of six.

After not truly embracing a career inengineering, he opened a plant andgarden store in 1993 in his old stomp-ing ground of Coburg.

Word soon spread about ‘the Greekguy with all the great fruit and vegadvice’, and Kanidiadis wasapproached by a friend who worked at3XY multicultural radio to take partin a talkback gardening show. Theshow proved a huge success and pro-fits for the station. It was on the backof the radio show’s high ratings thatKanidiadis was invited to try his luckon television.

Still somewhat surprised at his riseto fame, he believes much of his showbuilds on the adventures he had withhis father as a child.

‘‘My earliest memories of gardeningwere at the age of six or seven,’’ herecalls. ‘‘Each day my father wouldpick me up from school and drive pastthe old property in Coburg where weused to live. He had the house demol-ished and turned it into a hugevegetable garden.

‘‘Every day we would go there andharvest the freshly ripe produce. Mydad would always have a couple of

village-style bread rolls with him andsome feta cheese. We would breakopen the bread and fill it with a bit ofeverything picked from the gardenthen go and sit under the old lemontree to enjoy the afternoon feast.’’

Besides moving to SBS in 2007,Kanidiadis has appeared on the ABC,had a couple of spots on Channel 10and written a newspaper column. Hestill has a weekly spot on 3AW andSBS radio.

His new series promises to stick tothe old formula, albeit with some newadditions. ‘‘It will have a whole newline-up of guests and new presenters,’’Kanidiadis says. ‘‘The show is beinggrown out to one hour of gardening

and cooking tips and advice, alongwith crazy guests.’’

Kanidiadis says it’s the people ofMelbourne and, of course, the peoplefrom all parts of Australia, whocontinue to inspire him.

‘‘Most importantly, it’s the migrantgeneration: our parents, grandparents,friends and neighbours who grew upgardening purely to survive. It’s theirstories and gardening and cookingsecrets that I want to explore andshare.’’

It’s not lost on Kanidiadis that whileit might be in vogue for inner sub-urban trendies to be get involved incommunity gardens or start their ownherb patch, for generations many

migrant families have been doing justthat without the fuss.

‘‘It’s a way of life that more andmore people of today are turning to,and yes we are proud to say thatVasili’s Garden has been a stronginfluence towards this healthy

change. As my father and grand-father would say, ‘It’s about growing ityourself’, knowing where it grew andhow it was grown, with nothing shortof tender loving care given to everyseed germinated, every plant propag-ated and every tree grafted.’’

Alfred Whee, aged 5, centre, with his brother Ronald and Henry Sue Gay at the Rice Bowl Festivalin 1939. (from The Argus, May 6, 1939)

Integrating intoWhite AustraliaBY SOPHIE COUCHMAN

‘Nothing special’:Alfred Whee today.

“THERE’S nothing special about me,’’Alfred Whee insists. But his story is vital tounderstanding what life was like for the gen-eration of Chinese immigrants who livedduring the White Australia Policy period.

Mr Whee, of Cranbourne, was one of 10Chinese Australians interviewed for an oralhistory project for the Chinese Museum.

He was born in Hong Kong in 1935 but in1939 the family left to avoid the advancingJapanese troops. The family initially livedwith Mr Whee’s grandparents, aunts and un-cles in Fitzroy. Two sets of meals were cook-ed in the house each night because his auntsliked Western food and his father and grand-father preferred Chinese food. “I had achoice,’’ he says. ‘‘I could eat with my aunts,or eat with my parents.” Or both.

He attended Fitzroy State School where hehad few close friends, probably because hedidn’t like sport. He was more interested inreading and music and used to pretend hedidn’t know his Latin so he didn’t have toplay sport.

His father did his best to make sure hischildren fitted in. He didn’t approve of themwearing Chinese clothes because he thoughtpeople would laugh at them.

Mr Whee has fond memories of eatingFoon Kee’s famous Chinese sausages at theGuangdong cafe at the top end of BourkeStreet during school holidays, and taking abilly to buy tofu which was based on a‘‘secret recipe’’.

Mr Whee and his brother arrived onlimited student visas and his mother’s papersalso only allowed a temporary visit. Theirlives were shaped by the fact that they mighthave to leave Australia at short notice.

In the early 1960s, his mother wassuddenly granted permanent residency. Heand his brother were told to make anappointment with another immigration offi-cial who told him, “This is just a friendlychat and we’ll see if you’re going to fit in withthe Australian way of life’’.

“After 15 years!” Mr Whee says.The official asked if they went to the foot-

ball. “Oh yes,” Mr Whee’s brother said, butMr Whee said he didn’t go at all.

“What do you do?” the official asked.“I go to a lot of eisteddfods,” Mr Whee

said. The official appeared quite impressed,especially when Mr Whee praised his short-hand, which Mr Whee was learning at thetime because he wanted to be a courtreporter.

He went on to study music at UniversityHigh School — he still sings and recently per-formed on Australia’s Got Talent. Aftergraduating, he worked in a range of clericalpositions and as a stenographer.

Mr Whee has retained links with hisChinese culture. He still speaks Cantoneseand has even learnt a little Mandarin.■ This article is drawn from the memories ofChinese Australians interviewed by theChinese Museum.

Tour all aboutyours faithfullyBY CATHERINE WATSON

YOU might call it a magical mysterytour of faiths — or a rebuff to bigo-try: a bus tour of places of worship inCasey is filling rapidly with residentskeen to gain an insight into unfamil-iar religions.

The tour, organised by the CaseyMulti-Faith Network, will visit anAnglican church in Berwick, a Fijianmosque in Hallam and a Buddhisttemple.

Network president Pam Mamoun-ey said the tour was aimed at improv-ing understanding and promotingtolerance across religions and cul-tures.

“I have seen the reaction of peoplegoing into a mosque for the first time.They go in so fearfully and they seesome of the imams sitting on thefloor and kids playing around them.They change completely. You see it

on their faces when they come out.”The tour, which has run for several

years, comes as Casey grapples withseveral contentious cross-culturalissues: tomorrow, councillors willdecide the fate of a mosque that theAfghan community wants to build inDoveton. Last month 255 peoplesigned a petition objecting to Budd-hist and Hindu groups buying housesand converting them to places ofworship.

The tour departs from the Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-DaySaints, corner of Lawry Court andFox Road, Narre Warren North, at1.15pm on Saturday and returnsat 5pm. Women should covertheir arms, legs and head duringthe mosque visit. Bookingsessential. Call Pam Mamouney on9707 2077 or [email protected].

A feast for Casey fans as Saints prevailBY MORGAN COLE

ST KILDA won the battle of the south-east,outclassing Melbourne by 25 points in swelteringconditions at Casey Fields on Saturday.

A tearaway second term by the Saints was tell-ing as the Demons were forced to play catch-upin the second half. The Saints won 10.13 (91) to7.6 (66), with both teams kicking two nine-pointsuper goals.

The two clubs have strong connections withthe region. Melbourne is into its third year of a30-year deal with the City of Casey and St Kilda’soperations are based in Seaford.

The Demons dominated early in the game,controlling the midfield. St Kilda, however,adapted better to the conditions, making full useof the wind in the second term.

“They were really trying conditions today,” StKilda coach Scott Watters said as temperaturesrose above 35 degrees.

“When you have wind like this often thesegames can be won in a quarter.”

After the quarter-time break Melbourne took aback seat while the Saints ran rampant. St Kildayoungster Jack Newnes made his presence feltwith 21 disposals.

“He [Newnes] is a very good young leader atour club.

‘‘He took another step forward today. I

thought his disposals were very good,” Watterssaid.

The Demons featured several unfamiliar facesplaying nine new players, among them formerGeelong pair Shannon Byrnes and Tom Gilliesand ex-North Melbourne utility Cameron Peder-son. Former Richmond and Port Adelaide mid-fielder David Rodan looked at home among theDemons, collecting 13 possessions to comple-ment his efforts off the ball and helping Mel-bourne gain the edge early.

Led by Lynden Dunn and Dan Nicholson, theDemons mounted a counterattack in the thirdterm, dragging the margin back down to 20points going into the final change.

Despite Melbourne’s ruck dominance throughMark Jamar (35 hit-outs), the Saints were able tohold them off in the final term.

Melbourne coach Mark Neeld was disap-pointed with the loss but pleased with theadvancements his side made.

“The downside was the second quarter, whichshows where we’re at,” Neeld said.

“One of the positives was that we fought backinto the game, but honourable losses, you getsick of them.”

Leagues form new allianceDON’T call it the MorningtonPeninsula Nepean FootballLeague.

League boss Jeff Jones lastweek announced that the gov-erning body of the Peninsula,Casey Cardinia and NepeanFootball-Netball Leagues wasnow branded the PCN SportsAlliance.

Jones said the three leagueswould now have their own indi-vidual league names and logos,which were similar in appear-ance but with different colourschemes and encompass bothfootball and netball.

The PCN Sports Alliance willalso launch individual websitesfor each of the three leagues inthe coming weeks.

‘‘It was clearly identified thatwe govern football and netball inthree very different geographicand demographic areas,’’ he said.

‘‘The current MPNFL brand-ing is not relevant at local com-munity level. We established thatthe marketing and promotion ofthe leagues needed to beincreased and that the local com-munity were looking for a senseof belonging, not only to theirlocal club but also to their localleague.’’

Jones said the change ofbranding had also occurred togive netball more prominencewithin the leagues.

“We also realised that despitenetball participation growing ata rate of 5 per cent year on yearthat the netball name was com-pletely missing,’’ he said.

‘‘The development of theseadditional logos will assist withthe promotion of the leagueswithin their geographic areas.”

PCN stands for Peninsula,Casey and Nepean where previ-ously the MPNFL failed toacknowledge the Casey CardiniaLeague.

Jones said the PCN SportsAlliance had a simple philosophyand that it was all-inclusive.

“PCN Sports Alliance will alsopromote its clear values of parti-cipation, engagement, com-munity and people and culture,in essence developing a strongsense of belonging for familiesand the wider community,’’ hesaid.

Jones said in addition to thenew websites, each league wouldhave its own Facebook and Twit-ter to allow fans to stay in touchwith local football and netballnews.

Just thevenue forfooty fever

Soaking it up: Supporters enjoy an AFL game at Casey Fields on Saturday. Picture: Wayne Hawkins

CASEY Fields stood up to its first officialAFL preseason cup match on Saturdaythat drew more than 5000 supporters to aclash between St Kilda and Melbourne.

Notwithstanding the stifling heat thatpassed 35 degrees, most fans were morethan satisfied with their day at the foot-ball.

Cranbourne South resident Frank andhis son grabbed the opportunity to seetheir Demons at a venue close to home.

“Yeah, we are enjoying the day,” Franksaid. “It’s a bit hot for it but events likethis don’t come up often.”

The mayors of the cities of Frankston,Cardinia and Casey joined Melbourneand St Kilda officials in the grandstand.

The only niggle was Casey Fields strug-gling to cope with the heavy flow of trafficand high demand for parking.

“We recognise that the parking mayhave been an issue but it really highlightshow many people were coming here to seethis wonderful event,” Casey mayorAmanda Stapledon said.

Ms Stapledon was thrilled by the turn-out and praised the Demons for their con-tinued involvement with the community.

“It’s exciting for us on a number oflevels,” she said. “It brings the wholecommunity together.

“It allows us to showcase this wonder-ful facility. It’s the envy of a lot of othermunicipalities and we’re very proud of it.

“This is just one of the many events thatthe Melbourne Football Club is doingwith the city of Casey. We are in our thirdyear of a 30-year deal and it’s extraordin-ary we are already seeing great benefits.”

Comets seek green light for night gamesBY BRAD McGRATH

CASEY Comets are hopeful of playing theirVictorian Women’s Premier League soccermatches on Friday nights.

The lights at Comets Stadium were upgradedto the standards required more than 12 monthsago and approval has been granted from FootballFederation Victoria.

But the club is yet to be given the green lightfrom Casey Council, with approval needed by

March 21 if they are to go ahead with the planthis season.

The elite women’s competition in Victoria isusually played on Sunday afternoons.

Comets coach Ian Williamson said the clubwas keen to play home matches under lights togive players and fans back their weekends.

‘‘The lights have been finished for a year nowand it is just a matter of getting both parties toagree to it.’’

The Comets finished fifth in the competition

last season and Williamson is confident his teamis on the improve.

He said the likes of Katelyn Lee, TamaraBorelli and Brittany Dudley were ready to takethe next step in their careers.

But the team was desperately seeking a back-up goalkeeper for Kelly Soles.

‘‘We haven’t really recruited — we’re goingwith the young girls who were on the roster lastyear,’’ Williamson said.

‘‘We’ve got a great crop at the moment, we just

need a back-up keeper.’’ The Comets were due toplay the semi-final of the Casey Cup on Sundayafternoon against Cairnlea.

The Casey Cup is a pre-season competitionwith a women and men’s category started by theComets this year, with Williamson declaring it asuccess.

‘‘We’ve never run a tournament like thisbefore,’’ he said. ‘‘We’ve had Cairnlea, Berwick,Seaford, Albert Park and others involved and ithas been really good.’’

Rejuvenation could bring state squads to Shepley OvalSHEPLEY Oval’s $1.25 millionredeveloped change rooms could res-ult in more representative footballbeing played at the ground.

The state government and GreaterDandenong Council announced theredevelopment on Monday, with theground level of the Shepley pavilion tobe extended and improved with newchange rooms, a bigger gymnasiumand more medical rooms and officesbeing added.

An electronic scoreboard is alreadybeing installed at the ground and is

expected to be ready before the TACCup season begins.

Dandenong Stingrays talent man-ager Mark Wheeler said the improve-ments would bring his club’s facilitiesup to standard with other TAC Cupclubs.

He also said the new rooms, com-bined with the ground’s admired play-ing surface, could put it in position tohost AFL under-18 or under-16national championship matches incoming seasons.

The ground already hosts junior

interleagues matches and regularlyhosts Vic Country under-16 andunder-18 training sessions.

‘‘You can see how good the playingsurface is and it has been this way forthe past three years,’’ Wheeler said.

‘‘This is why they bring state playersout here to train.

‘‘With the new change rooms, rehabrooms and the ice baths — that doesallow us to bring those sort of teamsout here. There could be a chance wecould put our hand up for these kindof games.’’

The redevelopment will also benefitseveral other groups including footballumpires, community groups andPremier Cricket side Dandenong Pan-thers, whose president Michael Find-lay saying it would make the most ofthe facilities.

‘‘As it stands, our change rooms arealready a little cramped for a 12-manside,’’ he said.

‘‘At the moment our lower gradesides don’t have a facility they can goto get a shower after the game.’’

Visiting cricket sides currently use

the change rooms which will beredeveloped, so Findlay said his clubmay swap change rooms, as the newrooms would be next to the gym andmedical rooms.

The new electronic scoreboard willalso see an end to the use of themanual cricket scoreboard which haslong been based at the top of theground’s grandstand.

‘‘It will die a very welcome deathand only be pulled out if the powergoes out,’’ Findlay said.

Medal at lastfor West star

Almost man: NarreWarren’s AteeqJaved finished thirdin the Alan WookeyMedal count lastMonday.

Picture: Sam Stiglec

DANDENONG West star Alex Roberts has longaspired to win the Alan Wookey Medal. Last Mon-day he achieved his goal.

The 29 year old won the medal as the fairest andbest player in the DDCA Turf 1 competition, beatingParkfield star Steve Spoljaric by a vote. Spoljaricwon the past two medals.

Roberts, who hails from England but has been inAustralia for several years, said he was elated tofinally win the honour in his third season of DDCAcricket.

‘‘It was good to come out on the right side as Ihave finished second twice before,’’ Roberts said.

‘‘It means a lot, to be honest, the medal has a lot ofprestige within the competition and coming back tothe competition this season, it was an aim of mine towin the medal.’’

Roberts made 589 runs at 73 and took 28 wicketsat nine from 11 Turf 1 matches.

He polled 37 votes to Spoljaric’s 36, with the win-ning vote coming in the final round.

Roberts returned to the DDCA this season afterplaying with Bundoora last year and Port Mel-bourne the previous season.

But playing on synthetic pitches with Bundooraproved the reason why Roberts looked to come backto the DDCA and its turf wickets.

Roberts said he was proud to win in a seasonwhich featured a number of exceptional players.

‘‘The DDCA gets stronger and stronger each sea-

son. I’ve played in lots of competitions around theworld and as a local competition it is up there withthe best of them.

‘‘You have some good ex-first class players, youhave a few Kiwi, Sri Lankan and English players soI’m ecstatic to have won.’’

Roberts has also ventured into the cricket equip-ment world, starting his own brand of cricket gearcalled Rogue Cricket.■ DDCA Turf 1 minor premiers Mordialloc and in-form Springvale South were battling it out for aplace in the grand final yesterday.

After batting first at Ben Kavanagh Reserve,Mordy was bowled out for 142 by the Bloods.

But in response the Bloods batsmen struggled tohold their wickets as Chathura Athukorala (5-27)

tore through their top order to leave the visitors on6-58 at stumps on the first day.

A century from Buckley Ridges keeper Troy Aust(115) had his side well placed to earn the othergrand final place finishing on 8-275 from their 90overs against Dandenong West, who were batting onthe second day.

Eagles resumean old rivalryCRANBOURNE and Devon Meadowswill resume hostilities next Saturday.

The old enemies will clash for thefirst time since Devon Meadowsdeparted the MPNFL Casey CardiniaLeague to play in the Nepean Division.

Eagles coach Doug Koop admittedhis team was looking forward to clash-ing with Devon Meadows.

‘‘Many years before I got to Cran-bourne it used to be the grand finalevery year when these two teams usedto play,’’ he said.

Devon Meadows is expected tounveil star signing Russell Robertson,with the former Melbourne high-flyerset to play a handful of games thisseason.

Koop said he was hopeful footballfans would get down to see the oldrivalry resume.

One player who won’t be on the fieldfor Cranbourne is youngster MichaelBoland, who has signed with VFL clubCasey Scorpions.

Koop said Boland departs the Eagleswith their blessing.

‘‘We wish him all the best,’’ Koopsaid. ‘‘It’s a good environment for himto learn and he is only 21 so he hasplenty of time on his hands to do it.’’
