An investigation is under way a�er a Hume councillor referred to the municipality as the ‘‘terrorist training centre of Australia’’ on a closed social media group.

Cr Jack Medcra�, who made the comments in response to a link about counter-terrorism raids in the area earlier this month, has apologised for causing o�ence but said a serious discussion was needed about terror links in Hume.

‘‘Welcome to Hume, the terrorist training centre of Australia,’’ he said on Facebook.

In a reference to a 2003 ban on ham and

Medcraft terror stormpork at council functions, Cr Medcra� added: ‘‘First it was ham sandwiches we were known for, now this garbage. Watch out Sunbury, we could be next.’’

It’s understood the comments have since been deleted.

Cr Medcra� last week returned from a 28-day suspension handed down a�er a probe into his alleged bad behaviour at a community meeting in Broadmeadows late last year.

�ere have been several alleged terrorist links to Hume this year. Jake Bilardi, of Craigieburn, and Suhan Rahman, of Roxburgh Park, were reportedly killed �ghting overseas for Islamic State, while a 17-year-old was arrested in a

counter-terrorism operation in Greenvale on May 8.

Cr Medcra� said he was tired of people ‘‘fobbing o�’’ the serious issue of terrorism.

‘‘My comments were tongue in cheek; they weren’t meant with any malice,’’ he said. ‘‘But a lot of people are very worried about what’s going on. I’m sick and tired of people looking at Hume for all the wrong reasons.’’

Cr Medcra� said he was disappointed that his comments had sparked a furore while little had been done about another councillor’s reference to Sunbury as a racist community.

Hume council chief executive Domenic Isola con�rmed Cr Medcra�’s latest comments

on Facebook are being investigated. He said the councillors’ code of conduct extended to statements made via social media.

Mr Isola said Hume took enormous pride in the fact it is one of Australia’s most harmonious and multicultural communities.

‘‘Our residents come from more than 166 di�erent countries and speak more than 120 languages, and we think that’s one of the best things about Hume,’’ he said.

A spokeswoman for Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said all types of racial or religious intolerance were unacceptable.

‘‘Every elected representative should behave in a way that re�ects their leadership role.’’

While most of us give up in frustration after a few minutes, Ethan Pride can align a Rubik’s cube in just 12 seconds.

The 16-year-old Ivanhoe Grammar student only started “cubing” in February last year but, since then, has taken it up with gusto.

The year 10 student has organised Cube 4 Cambodia, a “speed cubing” competition that has quickly turned into the biggest of its kind in Australia. More than 100 people are expected to take part.

“I could have placed a limit to 70 competitors but it developed into something more,” Ethan said.

The tournament is on May 31, 8.30am until 6.15pm, at the Bridge Inn Road school. All funds raised from the $10 competition fee will go towards charities in Cambodia.

�e Islamic Council of Victoria is yet to o�er assistance to the 17-year-old arrested and charged with terrorism o�ences last week.

Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) secretary Sey� Seyit said he hadn’t been party to any discussions about whether the council would o�er to mentor or visit the northern suburbs’ teenager remanded on two terrorism charges.

“At a rudimentary level, we have to be there in terms of support but it’s just too early. We’re just not sure what form of help that will be,” Mr Seyit said.

�e northern suburbs teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared brie�y before a children’s court last week.

He has been charged with one court of engaging in an act in preparation for, or planning, a terrorist act. He is also charged with one court of possessing things connecting to a terrorism act. None of his family was in court.

A spokesperson for a northern suburbs cultural association said the organisation would help “in any way, with open hands and hearts.”

In April, in a separate case, 18-year-old Harun Causevic was arrested with four others during a counter-terrorism operation and charged with conspiracy to prepare for or plan a terrorism act.

ICV president Ghaith Krayem later told a court he was prepared to have daily contact with Causevic if he was released, and would organise mental health professionals to assist him.

Star Weekly’s attempts to contact Mr Krayem for comment last week went unanswered.

Cultural help slow to come

By Lexi Cottee

Prompted by the devastating 2009 Black Saturday bush�res, Whittlesea’s community recovery committee has released a community emergency plan.

State emergency management commissioner Craig Lapsley was at last Wednesday’s launch to discuss the document, which comes in booklet form and aims to help people prepare, respond and recover from natural disasters.

Preparations for the emergency planning guide began about three years ago when

the community recovery committee was still o�ering counselling services, building community gardens and memorials and rebuilding �re-ravaged houses and sheds.

Project facilitator Michelle Duscombe said when the 40-person working group embarked on the project, they decided they wanted the booklet to be preparatory in nature and to adhere to the motto “a better prepared community is a more resilient community”.

“�e whole idea is to make people better prepared and enable them to be able to e�ectively respond,” Ms Duscombe said.

�e booklet divides planning into three sections; before, during and a�er a natural disaster. And while the booklet is skewed to bush�res, because Whittlesea is on a �ood plain it also covers what to do in �oods and storms.

During the Black Saturday bushfires, Whittlesea township became a focal point for fire co-ordination, and a gathering point for displaced people and domestic animals. It later served as a hub for recovery activities, continuing for several years after the fire.

Ms Duscombe, a Kinglake resident whose

home was saved because of her husband and son’s heroic efforts battling the blaze with a hose, buckets and mops, said the emergency plan sought to build on local knowledge.

“It’s great to see the community have a vision of what they wanted and to have delivered something they can be proud of,” Ms Duscombe said.

�e �rst run of 3500 booklets was delivered to Whittlesea Community House, the library, Whittlesea CFA, council o�ces, doctors’ surgeries and local schools last week.

Lessons learned from dark day

Michael Manoussakis has always had an interest in science. The Marymede Catholic College captain particularly loves chemistry and hopes to pursue a career overseas as a chemical engineer after studying at the University of Melbourne. And it’s highly likely the Mill Park 17-year-old will realise his dreams, with a resume that includes a study trip to Canada. Michael was one of just 44 Australian students handpicked to represent the country at the Canada-wide Science Fair in New Brunswick. He jetted off last Friday to talk to primary and secondary students in Canada about advancements in Australian science. Michael said he was most excited about meeting new people and “to see what scienti�c ideas they’ve explored in their projects”.

Whittlesea is one of the most a�ordable municipalities in Melbourne for people living on income support or the minimum wage.

Anglicare’s Rental A�ordability Snapshot2015 reveals Whittlesea is the ��h most-a�ordable area for people on low incomes who are looking for housing.

�e report states that, apart from two- child families with both parents earning the minimum wage, all other low income couples and family groups have very little or no access to Victoria’s 17,800 total rental listings.

of his organisation. But he said support for the report’s conclusions came with a caveat.

“Because we’re in the outer suburbs, we have new houses being built, so it’s slightly more a�ordable,” he said.

“But you can’t just look at the price of rent. People are not saving hundreds of dollars living out here – it’s maybe $20 a fortnight.

“I would argue that gets swallowed up very quickly on transport, travelling to shops, schools and work, which are all further away.”

Mr Ahmet also said bidding wars for rental properties meant single mothers and

Most of Melbourne’s a�ordable and appropriate rentals are located in outer suburban growth corridors, fringe and semi-rural areas, such as Whittlesea, Yarra Ranges, Brimbank, Wyndham and Casey.

“�ese areas are typically associated with poorer access to services, public transport, infrastructure, employment, educational and training institutions and higher levels of socio- economic disadvantage,” the report stated.

Jemal Ahmet, chief executive of the Epping-based community services agency Whittlesea Community Connections, said Anglicare’s report resonated with the �ndings

welfare recipients were o�en locked out of the market. “�at person on Newstart may not get the property,” Mr Ahmet said.

�e Anglicare report, an annual national survey, collected data on more than 65,600 rental listings across Australia in partnership with a real estate website.

�e a�ordability snapshot was taken on April 11 with people living on low incomes who were actively looking for housing. Now in its the sixth year, the report deems a suitable rental to be one that takes less than 30 per cent of the household’s income – a common benchmark of a�ordability.

Renters pushed to outer fringe

Hoons have driven through two public parks in as many weeks, destroying trees and leaving a he�y clean-up bill for Hume council.

Deep tyre marks have scarred Carrick Drive Reserve in Gladstone Park and parkland along Yuroke Creek, o� Kirkham Drive in Greenvale.

Hume council sta� suspect the parks were damaged during the Anzac Day weekend. Another park in Craigieburn was also vandalised more recently when vehicles were driven over a number of young trees supported by stakes.

Mayor Adem Atmaca says such behaviour is disappointing for everyone.

“It’s unsettling for residents who live nearby and hear the hoons in action late at night, and I’m saddened to see that the damaged area in Gladstone Park lies between a church and a bowls club,” he said. “Council o�cers work hard to cultivate the parks and reserves across

Hume, and they obviously feel a little frustrated when the community’s grasses and plants are damaged.”

He said it would take some time for the turf to properly recover due to the cold, wet weather.

Hoon driving is a constant source of frustration for Hume police but vandalising parks is more unusual, Fawkner Highway Patrol Sergeant Mick Free said. He said police have a much bigger issue on their hands with “drag racers”, who congregate in large groups in industrial estates at Campbell�eld and �omastown.

“Once they get there, they’re quite violent, they’re reckless and there’s the potential for them to lose control,” Sergeant Free said.

Report vandalism and hoon driving to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Hume council will lose $37 million over the next four years if rates are capped to the consumer price index (CPI).

Hume’s chief executive Domenic Isola said a cap on municipal rates tied to CPI would not allow the council to address the needs of the growing outer north.

“If rates were capped to CPI levels, our community would be disadvantaged because Hume’s new areas could miss out on facilities that many other established suburbs in Melbourne take for granted,” he said.

In January, the state government directed the Essential Services Commission (ESC) to develop a framework for capping municipal rates. Submissions from councils were due before May 15.

Hume’s submission contends CPI is not an acceptable basis for setting a cap on rate increases because it doesn’t account for why councils need to increase them, including the increasing costs of delivering services to growing populations, more capital works spending and higher levels of borrowing repayments.

�e council told the ESC last week that it believed a di�erent cap on rates, not linked with CPI, could work. However, it remains concerned that capping rates will add an extra layer to council budgeting and planning.

ESC will release a �nal report in November.

Hume stunted by rates cap

Hume council has tracked down and prosecuted a Queensland company that dumped more than a tonne of waste at Craigieburn.

Council investigators spent four months tracing receipts and batch numbers on boxes, trawling through closed circuit footage and cold-calling a farmer in Queensland before they discovered the culprit behind one of the council’s worst cases of rubbish dumping.

�e Queensland-based waste transporter GMG03 Haulage has been �ned a total of $4750 for illegal dumping and was ordered by Broadmeadows Magistrates Court to pay $4548 in clean-up and legal costs.

Hume mayor Adem Atmaca said the council had been “relentless” in its investigations into the dumping of 1.23 tonnes of rubbish in Gasoline Way, Craigieburn on May 1 last year.

He said council o�ces sent to the site found six 1000-litre containers �lled with a brown liquid, �attened cardboard boxes, a large hessian sack �lled with more bags and a pile of solid waste.

Cr Atmaca said the case, held before the court on March 4, should send a clear message to anyone who thinks that they can travel up or down the Hume Freeway to dispose of rubbish.

“We have the ways and the means to investigate those who abandon rubbish in Hume, and this council will utilise covert and hi-tech methods to bring o�enders to justice” he said. “Wilful dumpers ultimately cost our ratepayers money and we’ll act on behalf of our residents with rigour and determination.”

Cr Atmaca said discarded weighbridge receipts became a crucial piece of evidence in the council’s case, eventually proving that GMG03 Haulage’s driver had not emptied his full load at a quarry in Queensland.

Road dump a �ne mess

Rubbish from Queensland was dumped illegally at Craigieburn. (Supplied)

“�e rest of the waste ended up more than 1500 kilometres away in Craigieburn and the driver probably thought that would be the end of it,” Cr Atmaca said.

In the �rst three months of this year, council sta� have retrieved 943 tonnes of illegally dumped rubbish. A number of recently discarded items are under investigation, including items from a Chinese restaurant,

molasses, dead animals, building materials and household furniture.

Rubbish dumpers face �nes of $289 for small items and up to $6000 if the matter reaches court. Individuals who dispose of contaminated �ll material, tyres, manufacturing, construction or demolition waste may be �ned up to $610,700 or sentenced to seven years’ jail.

Corporations face �nes of up to $1.2 million.

Seven people have been �ned hundreds of dollars for driving hotted-up and “excessively noisy” cars a�er a series of roadside blitzes in the northern suburbs.

Environment Protection Authority Victoria and Victoria Police set up checkpoints in Westmeadows and Greenvale between March30 and April 27 to nab motorists driving cars that exceeded legal noise limits.

EPA o�cers tested more than 30 cars for excessive noise and found seven cars exceeded legal limits. �e o�ence incurs a $738 �ne for individuals and a $1476 �ne for a company car.

One driver was pulled over in Greenvale and given an o�cial warning, while three drivers were issued o�cial warnings in Westmeadows.

EPA’s Chris Webb said noisy cars were unacceptable, particularly when they had been deliberately modi�ed for performance.

“Deliberately modifying vehicles in this way shows a blatant disregard for the community members who have a right to live in an environment that is free from preventable noisy disturbances,” he said.

A notice requires the vehicle owner to obtain a certi�cate of compliance from an approved EPA noise tester and make whatever repairs or modi�cations are needed to put the vehicle within legal noise limits.

�e EPA can suspend a vehicle’s registration if a certi�cate of compliance is not provided.

Street tree contravenes planI write in response to the letter of Cr Ricky Kirkham, Whittlesea mayor, in Northern Star Weekly accusing me of inaccuracies in the letter I wrote in support of a 76-year-old widow [trying] to �nd a solution to the problem she is facing due to a tree planted by the council, which has now become so large that its roots are threatening to run into her sewerage.

I would like to bring to the attention of the mayor section 3.2.2 of the city of Whittlesea’s street tree master plan, which deals with the Blossom Park precinct: “Large trees should be planted where the road reserve is more than 18 metres”. This particular street does not �t that de�nition and therefore the large tree planted in that street is in violation of council’s guidelines.

An independent report has recommend expanding a pilot project that provides no interest loans and case work support to people struggling to �nd rental accommodation in Whittlesea.

�e report by Swinburne Institute for Social Research’s Sharon Parkinson recommends the project be scaled up by seeking a mix of public and private funds and sourcing recurrent funding, as well as strengthening relationships with local real estate agents.

In 2013, Epping-based community agency Whittlesea Community Connections (WCC) began trialling the project in response to a growing tide of homelessness in the community.

WCC’s project co-ordinator Peta Falou said the �exibility of the project was one of its greatest strengths.

“We’re up to nine people who have repaid their loan and we have only had one person default,” she said.

Since its roll-out, the project has passed on almost $19,000 in no-interest loans to 18 people, plus housing support for another 136 clients.

Ms Falou said the main client groups are women, single parents and new arrivals to Australia, all receiving Centrelink income support. Typically, people have repaid or are continuing to repay between $20 and $50 o� their loans each fortnight over a year, she said.

WCC is seeking funding for another case worker.

Push to widen rental help

By Lexi Cottee

It’s not a prerequisite to speak Italian at �at’s Amore Cheese, but almost half of the �omastown-based cheese factory’s sta� converse in the romantic language.

Even New Zealand-born production manager Helen Ritchie rattles o� a progress report to owner Giorgio Linguanti in his mother tongue, and morning greetings between sta� involve a kiss on each cheek … and an espresso.

Mr Linguanti has come a long way since he �rst made bocconcini in his spare time about 10 years ago. He now employs 39 people – and not just Italians but Australians and Indians, he stresses – and has just moved the business into a brand new factory, eight times larger than the Donnybrook space he has rented since starting in 2008.

�e 41-year-old has been in Australia for a decade and supplies Melbourne’s top restaurants with his award-winning burrata, a buttery cheese made from mozzarella and cream.

Each week �at’s Amore Cheese churns through more than 40,000 litres of milk and produces about 7000 kilograms of cheese, no mean feat considering almost the entire range of 24 di�erent sorts of cheese is cra�ed by hand.

Ms Ritchie said the caciocavallo is the most intensive cheese produced, weighing 2.6-kilograms each and stretched by hand in a process needing about two hours of labour.

Mr Linguanti, who was born on one of the Aolian Islands o� the north coast of Sicily, says life in Australia is more conducive to building a successful business.

“�e system here works for proactive people.“In Italy it’s too bureaucratic, people get

jealous when others succeed and it won’t happen unless you’re friends with corrupt

For the love of cheese

people,” he says. “I like the environment here, people are friendly. �ey talk to you without an agenda, just to be friendly.”

When he �rst arrived in Australia Mr Linguanti couldn’t speak a word of English. But he said a love of languages helped him grasp English quickly. He soon found love as well and now has four children.

Despite his business success and having a young family, Mr Linguanti continues to work long hours – a shi� from 3.30am until 7.30am

in production each morning then back to the o�ce at 9.

During the Melbourne Good Food and Wine show next month, �at’s Amore Cheese will launch a Burrata Bar selling dishes created by some of the city’s best chefs using the creamy cheese.

According to Mr Linguanti, burrata is all the rage in Italy. “I wanted to bring that to Melbourne where the food culture is so open and fantastic,” he said.

If National Volunteer Week last week inspired you to give your time to a good cause, look no further than South Morang. Vinnies has opened up a new op-shop in Murdoch Street and needs about 50 more volunteers to help at the store. Vinnies area manager Peter Kalogeropoulos says this is St Vincent de Paul Society’s �rst charity shop in the outer north. “While we have a store in Epping, we wanted something further out.” Already 30 volunteers have signed up but about 80 volunteers are needed to open the store seven days a week. “While we were setting up, we had people knocking on the window offering to volunteer,” Peter says. The op-shop will stock women’s and men’s fashion, toys, baby items, manchester, electrical goods and more. Volunteers can call 0439 363 204 or 1300 736 933. Vinnies South Morang is at 20a Murdoch Street. Lexi Cottee

SPORT

Northern Knights were shown how you should attack the ball on Saturday and were made to pay for it with a heavy loss to Tasmania in the TAC Cup.

Tasmania was �erce at the ball from the start of the game at Preston City Oval and made the most of their inside-50s to win 16.16 (112) - 7.10 (52).

Knights coach Andrew Shakespeare said his side wasn’t competitive for long enough.

“We wanted to pride ourselves on our �erce competitiveness but Tasmania really showed us up,” he said.

“Aspects of our game have really improved, but on others we still have massive work to do.

“We got the ball inside 50, which is an improvement. We had 53 entries, the most we have had this year, but we weren’t able to keep the ball inside forward 50 when it was there, which came down to our competitiveness.”

Compounding the Knights struggles was Tasmania’s conversion rate from inside-50s to scoring shots.

“Tasmania had 40 inside-50s and 32 scoring shots, which is unprecedented,” Shakespeare said.

“�ey were able to get through the mid�eld and at times there was not enough pressure.

“With our defence, their starting points at times were questioned.

“On occasions we did what we needed to; on occasions we chose not to.

“We need to be more focused on the whole team, not playing as individuals.”

Brayden Fiorini was best on ground for the Knights up forward and in the middle with 37 possessions.

Captain Jade Gresham tried hard and kicked a goal while up forward, and Max Maynard’s tackling work is something Shakespeare said would be highlighted at training.

�e Knights have this week o� because of the opening round of the national under-18 championships.

Fiorini, Gresham and Knights teammates Darcy McPherson, Tyrone Leonardis and James El Moussalli were named in the Vic Metro squad which plays Vic Country.

McPherson will miss the game because of injury, while �ngers are crossed for Moussalli.

“James popped his shoulder on Saturday,” Shakespeare said.

“It popped straight back in and he will have scans. Fingers crossed he can still play in the match. He is excited to.”

�e Knights have only one win for the season.

�e Calder Cannons returned to the winners’ list against the Bendigo Pioneers, winning 18.13 (121) - 13.6 (84).

Whittlesea has achieved its �rst aim of the Northern Netball League season by staying in the top division a�er the grading period.

A�er the opening four grading games, the Eagles number one side had a 2-2 record, good enough to stay in division one.

Coach Loren Weekes said it had been a di�cult start to the season.

“We had a lack of practice matches which didn’t help,” she said. “We normally play two or three games, so it has taken a bit longer to get working together.

“We’re starting to gel together on court in most areas, but one week we break down in one area, the next week in another area.”

�e Eagles start to the season hasn’t been helped by a couple of injuries.

“We’ve gone from nine players in the side to eight,” Weekes said.

“Drew White, who has come up from last year’s second side, hurt her knee and needs a knee reconstruction.

“Casey Barnes, who played goals for us last year, has a wrist injury which is a�ecting her accuracy, so we’ve moved her back into defence.

“We’d love to get a gun goal shooter but we’re lucky the girls we have can play multiple positions well.”

Weekes, who is in her �rst year of coaching a�er playing in the team last year, said a �nals �nish was the aim.

“We had a discussion about staying in section one or requesting to go down a section and the girls said they’d rather stick it out,” she said.

“It’s going to be di�cult with only eight players, but we have a talented side.”

Weekes said with grading sorted out, it would give a clearer indication of where the other three teams are at.

�e club’s second side is a whole new team and plays in section three.

�e third team, last year’s second team, is playing in section four and the fourth team is playing in section seven.

For the �rst time, all teams have non-playing coaches.

On Friday night, the Eagles 1 side lost 57-31 to Lakeside, Whittlesea 2 beat �omastown 43-28, the third side won 38-34 against Lalor and Whittlesea 4 lost 29-22 to Epping 2.

Lions promise more to comeBy Tara Murray

South Morang is sitting 4-1 a�er �ve rounds of the Northern Football League division 3 competition even though the side has yet to hit its straps.

With nine new players, Lions football operations manager Mark Muscat said it had been a learning process for the Lions at times, but that hasn’t stopped them getting the wins.

�ey knocked o� the previously undefeated Watsonia on Saturday, winning 20.13 (133) - 12.10 (82).

Muscat said Watsonia got the jump on them early.

“Both sides had �ve shots in the �rst quarter;

they kicked 4.1 and we kicked 1.4,” he said. “A�er quarter-time the boys just clicked into gear and it’s the best three quarters of football I’ve seen all season.

“�e mid�eld got on top and we were able to get the ball into the forward line.”

�e Lions were helped by the Saints losing a couple of players.

“�eir full forward was reported and red- carded in the �rst quarter, so he was done for the day,” Muscat said.

“�ey had injuries on top of that, but they still showed they are a force and at their best they can beat anyone.”

Paul Harrison was the star down forward for the Lions with seven goals.

“It was an area we identi�ed we were struggling with last year, in having experience in the forward line,” Muscat said.

“He has kicked 19 goals this season and it helps the mid�eld to have such a powerful forward down there.”

Muscat said the team couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season with the side sitting on top of the ladder.

“When you’re on top, you become the hunted,” he said. “It’s taking a little time to click with nine new players, but we’re happy with the results so far.”

Epping defeated Banyule 12.13 (85)-11.8 (74) to sit second on the ladder, only percentage behind the Lions.

In division 2, �omastown is 10 points clear on top of the ladder a�er �ve rounds.

�e undefeated Bears beat Hurstbridge 14.9 (93) - 10.10 (70) with Matthew Ferraro kicking four.

Whittlesea won a close one against Lalor, 14.15 (99) - 12.12 (84), while Mernda remains winless a�er losing 15.15 (105)-6.14 (50) to Panton Hill.

Mernda captain Andrew Smith’s career is over a�er he was suspended last week for striking.

Smith, who was rubbed out for four weeks, was on his last chance a�er exceeding the 16-game suspensions limit in his football career.

In division 1, Bundoora lost to Greensborough.

A�er 20 minutes, the game between Plenty Valley Lions and Meadow Park was shaping up as a hard slog.

�e score was 0-0 in the FFV state league 4 north game, with bottom-of-the-ladder Meadow Park matching it with the third-placed Lions.

What happened next came as a surprise to everyone.

One goal to the Lions quickly turned into eight before half-time.

�e Lions weren’t �nished – they slammed home another eight goals in the second half to win 16-0.

Entering the game, the Lions had scored 16 goals in their �rst seven matches.

Lions coach Michael Loche said no one saw what was coming.

“I’ve never seen anything like it at senior football before,” Loche said. “We didn’t score to the 20th minute, which makes it more remarkable.

“We had eight goals before half-time and eight a�er half-time. We had the killer instinct.

“Everything just clicked and we got the reward for our e�orts, which we haven’t had the last few weeks.”

Lions skipper Taner Altanhan made the most of his opportunities, scoring 10 goals for the game.

“�e most goals I’ve seen anyone get is six goals before this game,” Loche said.

“He has been working hard with not too much reward. He scored a brilliant �rst goal and had �ve at half-time.

“Being captain, he stressed to the side [at half-time] that we needed to keep playing the way we have been playing.

“It didn’t matter who scored the goals [but] it was Taner’s day on Saturday.”

�e win boosts the Lions’ goal di�erence and sees them rise back to second on the ladder.

“It gives us immense con�dence that we can attack quickly and put sides under a lot of pressure,” Loche said.

In other results, Epping City and FC Strathmore drew 1-1, Greenvale United lost 3-1 to Watsonia Heights and Bundoora United beat Newmarket Phoenix 3-2.

In state league 2 north-west, Hume United lost to Essendon Royals 4-2 and Sporting Whittlesea defeated Essendon United 2-1.

Up�eld continued its good start to the season in state league 3 north-west with a 4-0 win over Whittlesea United.

Lalor United and Geelong Rangers drew 1-1.

Lions’ killer instinct kicks in

By Tara Murray

Tullamarine got half of its plan dead right against Essendon Doutta Stars in division one of the Essendon District Football League on Saturday.

�e Demons went into the game wanting to reduce the Stars goal-scoring ability, an average 139 points a game. And they did exactly that, limiting the Stars to just 76 points.

Unfortunately, the Demons kicked just 25 themselves to lose 10.16 (76) - 2.13 (25).

Demons coach Anthony Leydin said he and his players knew they were in for a challenge a�er averaging only 80 points a game in the �rst four rounds.

“We had limited scoring opportunities and that meant we weren’t able to get into the game,” he said.

“In the third and fourth quarters in particular that was an issue.”

Not for the �rst time this season, Leydin was pleased with his defence’s e�orts.

“[Stars full forward] Aaron Kite kicked two goals, and they only had two multiple goal scorers,” he said.

“We contained [Stars’] Shylo Smith to some degree [he had been best on ground the last two weeks].

“Colin Laurie, Russell Laurie, David Brockway and Craig Steele have been really good in defence all year.”

With a young side, there’s still plenty of upside for the Demons.

“�e overlap is something we need to work on,” Leydin said.

“�e boys need to identify and contain the opposition when we get a run on.

“We’re still a young team and we thought everything was going really well until Saturday’s game.

“It puts us in the middle of the pack. �ere’s still a fair bit of improvement le� in us; we think we’re a top four or �ve side.”

For Leydin, the start to his coaching career at the Demons has been a challenging one.

“We were behind the eight-ball to start with, going into the market late to get players,” he said. “�e playing group has been fantastic. We’ve got a few more wins than many people expected.

“We’re happy being 3-2 but we want to continue improving.”

Craigieburn continued its unbeaten start to the season with a 115-point thumping of East Keilor. Cameron Cloke kicked nine and Jason Cloke kicked seven in the 29.13 (187) - 11.6 (72) win.

In premier division, Greenvale gave up a half-time lead against Pascoe Vale to lose 17.15 (117) - 14.9 (93).

In division 3, Roxburgh Park smashed East Sunbury, while Jacana fell to West Coburg.

City misses chances in ‘worst performance of the year’It may only have been a one-goal loss but Friday night’s performance was the worst yet for Hume City.

A goal in the 85th minute of the National Premier League game made all the di�erence for Pascoe Vale as City made it three weeks in a row without a win.

City coach Louie Acevski said his side did not play anywhere near its potential.

“It was a very disappointing night; we had at least seven players who did not play to their ability.

“We had chances to win the game, when we had two-on-one chances and missed before they scored their goal,” he said.

“When you score �rst, it puts pressure on

the opposition and it means they attack more and the defence opens up, which gives you the opportunity to score a second or third goal.

“We didn’t do that. To be honest, it was our worst performance of the year.”

A�er a strong start to the season, averaging more than three goals a game, City has scored just two goals in �ve matches.

�e club signed �eo Markelis from

Greek club Veria, Paul Harvey from Altona Magic and Daniel Clark from Queensland’s Moreton Bay United in the transfer window to try and address this.

“We added to the attacking end … and I’m sure it will change,” Acevski said.

“We are looking to improve and this will help.

“It has been a positive reaction from the players to those three players coming in.

“It adds something we didn’t have.”�is week City plays Port Melbourne

Sharks. City has a 5-3-4 record.“It is another tough game and they are

sitting in ��h, one place ahead of us,” Acevski said.

“If we stick to the game plan, hopefully, we can turn around from the weekend’s result.”

In NPL 1, Matthew Cundari inspired a Whittlesea Ranges win over Brunswick City.

Brunswick City led 2-0 a�er 17 minutes.�e Ranges managed to level the scores at

2-2 by half-time through goals to Matthew Kundevski and Cundari.

Cundari, with his second goal assist of the match, set up Atilla O�i with 25 minutes to go to take the lead and, ultimately, the victory.

�e Ranges have now won three out of its past four games.

It sits sixth on the ladder, with �ve wins.

‘‘ Hopefully we can turn around from the weekend’s result ’’ - Louie Acevski

Reigning premier Greensborough has started the men’s Premier League hockey season with mixed results but the team is anything but worried.

Coach Marten de Man said that following its grand �nal victory last season the club had endured a “di�erent” start to season 2015.

�e Plenty-based team started the season with two of its gun players missing.

“It has been a di�cult start with trying to continue on from last season,” de Man said before the weekend’s match.

“Tim Cross was in the Australian squad and was given his �rst Test cap while Casey Hammond went to Tasmania to play for Australia A.

“�ey both missed a game, so it gave the opportunity to other guys to step up and see what depth we have in the squad.”

He said the younger players hadn’t been overawed in the top division.

“We don’t need them to be playing beyond their limits,” de Man said. “We are more concerned about them playing their role and wining their position.

“Brendan Ford has pushed his way into the team and played three of the four games so far.”

De Man said the side had been creating opportunities to score but hadn’t been able to get the ball in the net.

�e Burras are 3-2 a�er �ve rounds and defeated Footscray 2-1 on Sunday.

“�e focus is to get the tempo and work-rate high from start to �nish,” the coach said. “We need to start taking chances from penalties and scoring shots.

“We need to put pressure on instead of chasing games.”

De Man said the side was in a good place to add to the 2014 premiership.

“Besides the goalkeeper, everyone is under 30, with the average age 25 to 26,” he said.

“We have optimum experience bit still a lot of development and improvement in us.

“We aren’t looking at renewing the team – they are in their prime.

“�is year it’s about giving ourselves the best opportunity and that’s �nishing top two with the double chance.”

“Come �nals time, anything can happen.

“We’re more concerned about how we are playing … results will take care of themselves.”

Greensborough young guns get their chance

Results don’t re�ect the true development of the Craigieburn Eagles women’s basketball team in Big V division 1.

Going into the weekend, the Eagles had lost their past four games.

On Saturday, they lost to top team Whittlesea Pacers 71-53, Melissa Rofe top scoring with eight points.

Coach Rod Sweeney said his side had been playing some really good games but was struggling to have an impact on the scoreboard.

“Defensively we are holding our own and achieving great results,” he said. “�ere’s a lack a scoring power but we are getting there.

“Purely on results you could say that we are not achieving but I’m more positive … we are moving in the right direction.”

Coming into the season, Sweeney had said

Eagles move in the right directionCraigieburn coach Rod Sweeney says the Eagles are making the right sort of progress. (Shawn Smits)

that scoring was something his players were going to have to work on.

“�e girls are learning to take the next step,” he said.

“We are shooting at 28 per cent – it needs to be 30 to 32 per cent. We’ve lost a couple of games by less than 10 points so that has hurt.”

�e Eagles, who are topping all key performance indicators except for shooting, are making the most of their younger players.

“�is season we have 10 players who have played more than 100 minutes for the season,” Sweeney said. “�is time last year it was six players.

“Against Mildura, one of the top sides, we had four players missing. We gave some of the young girls an opportunity and lost by 10 points.”

Sweeney said 16-year-old Selin Karakaya, in her �rst year in the club’s Big V program, had made the trip to Mildura.

Karakaya is yet to become a permanent member of the youth side but has already shown she can hold her own with the seniors.

�e Eagles men’s side defeated Oakleigh 83-71 in division 2.

In state championship women, the Hume City Broncos defeated Melbourne Tigers 87-61, with Colleen Planeta top scoring with 23 points.

In the men’s state championship, the Broncos men’s side lost to Bulleen 82-74 while Whittlesea Pacers won a close one against McKinnon 66-63.

AFL releases salary cap plansBy Tara Murray

�e top players in the Essendon District Football League’s premier division and the Northern Football League’s division 1 could be classi�ed as “premium community players” under AFL Victoria’s proposed points system.

AFL Victoria has released the dra� framework for its Community Club Sustainability Program, which is aimed at levelling out the competition and reducing player costs.

It will include a cap on total player payments and a points system which ranks players.

�e dra� plan indicates how the points system will work, what classi�cations players

fall under and the basis of the salary cap rules. Each league will set its own salary cap and points limit. Penalties for breaching the cap include relegation, club �nes, loss of points, suspension from �nals and player suspensions.

Players who have played AFL in the previous three years will attract the most points, six.

State league tier one players (VFL, WAFL, SANFL) will command �ve points, while state league tier two players (NEAFL, TASFL) will attract four.

�ey will be joined in the four-point bracket by TAC Cup players and “premium community players”.

A player’s standing as a “premium community player” will be determined by

�nishing positions in league and club best and fairest and goal kicking leader boards, but only if they play in a league or division classi�ed as a premium competition.

�e top division in both the EDFL and NFL falls into this, but the lower two divisions don’t.

NFL chief executive Peter McDougall said the league and teams had been preparing for this for a year.

“We’re working through the consultation with the clubs,” he said. “If they don’t buy in it will struggle to be implemented

“We’re still working through the process and the board will make a �nal determination before the end of the year.”

Clubs have been providing the league with

feedback for the past month on what they believe is best for the league.

“We’ll meet with club presidents shortly about what has been released,’’ McDougall said. “�ere are no surprises and it’s pretty straightforward.”

McDougall said the clubs would do their own analyses this season on how the system may work.

EDFL’s Marc Turri said it was hard to comment on the reaction of clubs until this week’s meeting with them.
