mitchell looks home in McEwenfederal election

Incumbent Labor MP Rob Mitchell looks likely to hold onto the federal seat of McEwen, with the � nal result expected to be known early this week.

When the Weekly went to print, Mr Mitchell had 50,612 votes, a lead of 345 over Liberals’ Donna Petrovich on a two-party preferred basis, with 94.76 per cent of the votes counted.

According to the Australian Electoral Commission website, 1674 votes were still to be counted.

� e electorate includes Mernda, Mickleham, Mill Park, Craigieburn, Doreen, Whittlesea and Sunbury.

Mr Mitchell said on Friday he just wanted the count to be over.

“It has just taken so long, but it means they are being thorough,” he said. “It’s getting down to the pointy end and we’re in a good position.’’

Ms Petrovich said she expected a result on Monday.

“� ere are some really interesting trends with the absentee votes,” she said.

“� e swings [to the Liberal Party] were signi� cant everywhere . For the � rst 10 days of the count I was 300 votes in front, so it’s not over yet.”

Ms Petrovich said she was proud of her party’s e� orts in McEwen.

“It’s been great to see the proactive approach of the Prime Minister [Tony Abbott] and it’s been rewarding to be part of it whether I’m in Parliament or not,” she said.

Ms Petrovich said a recount was still possible, but it would be up to the Liberal Party to decide whether to ask for one.

When the Weekly went to print, the Greens’ Neil Barker had 7 174 votes, Palmer United Party’s Trevor Dance 6777, Sex Party’s Victoria Nash 3 224, Family First Party’s Barry Newton 2 870 and Katter’s Australian Party’s Bruce Stevens 985. \

government caned over ‘unfair’ move epping market

� e state government has been found to be “unconscionable” in its dealings with fresh fruit and vegetable wholesalers and growers as they negotiate their move from Footscray to a new market site at Epping.

In a decision handed down in the Supreme Court of Victoria last � ursday, the way was cleared for stallholders, represented by Fresh State, to not sign on to the government’s new lease conditions until details are agreed and without jeopardising their chances of securing stalls once the move to Epping is � nally made.

� e government, through the Melbourne Market Authority (MMA), has announced the Footscray market will close at the end of July next year, with the Epping market due to open in August.

Although there are fears that date has already blown out to early 2015, stallholders were told they had to sign new leases or their market spaces would be opened for national tenders.

Fresh Start chief executive John Roach described � ursday’s decision as a “landmark”.

It was a unanimous decision by all three sitting judges, who also awarded costs against the government . “When you’ve got three judges in agreement, that’s a huge win,” Mr Roach said. “For a government to be faced with a judgment of unconscionable conduct is not pretty.”

Mr Roach said the case stemmed from action taken in December last year by the MMA, which presented stallholders with leasing contracts o� ering them smaller and inadequate selling and storage spaces at Epping at double the rent they had been paying at Footscray .

� ey were o� ered less security of tenure and no assurances that local road networks would be upgraded in time to cope with an extra 4000 to 5000 trucks and cars every day.

“It was sign or lose your spot, which is unfair and unreasonable” Mr Roach said. “We are very willing to move on fair and reasonable terms.”

� ursday’s decision found that the MMA had tried to force stallholders to commit to new leases in order to justify work the MMA needed to undertake to complete the Epping market.

� e MMA also claimed the Epping move was in the interests of both the state and the Victorian public because the Footscray site had been earmarked to use as a works and assembly depot for construction of the east-west tunnel.

Victorian Vegetable Growers Association president David Wallace said the court decision “gives everyone a bit of a breather”.

“We were being asked to pay more to go somewhere less convenient,” he said.

Mr Wallace, who grows capsicums for export from his Hume base in the Keilor valley, said tra� c management at the new site remained a major issue.

“� is was too big a job for government to be

involved in,” Mr Wallace said. “� ey came in with a perceived idea of what they wanted, not what growers wanted.”

Growers � nally face the government and the MMA over the commercial fairness of their lease contracts on October 28.

A spokesperson for Major Projects Minister David Hodgett said the aim remained to open the Epping market next year. \

BRIEFScouncils put case for money, transportstate funding

Increased funding and improvement to public transport in growth areas such as Hume and Whittlesea topped the list of items on the wishlist of interface councils at their meeting with state ministers last week.

Hume mayor Geo� Porter and Whittlesea chief executive David Turnbull were among representatives of the 10 interface councils who met Deputy Premier Peter Ryan and Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell.

� e interface councils include Hume, Whittlesea, Wyndham and Melton.

Earlier this year, the councils put out a report, One Melbourne or Two?, which says

investment of about $9.8 billion will be required in 15 years for new and upgraded infrastructure and services in growth areas.

Cr Porter described the meeting as constructive. “We are looking at working with the state government to � x the problems now and the ones that will become bigger problems in the future,” he said.

“� ey [the government] are aware of the growth in these areas and Peter Ryan said that we aren’t alone.” Cr Porter said the councils’ representatives pointed out concerns about the current funding arrangements and highlighted the need for more bus services. Mr Turnbull said: “Speaking on behalf of the Melbourne growth area councils, I reiterated

our � rm belief that the state government planning policy encouraging rapid growth in the outer suburbs needs to go hand in hand with funding for schools, roads and public transport – particularly easy access to buses. These are basic needs that need to be a given and not something that we are made to feel grateful for when they are funded.

“I also stressed the point that the challenges our outer suburbs face can only be successfully tackled in partnership with the state government, which, I believe, was acknowledged by ministers Powell and Ryan.’’

� e council representatives would meet the government next year to discuss funding. \

scouting

Craigieburn’s Scouts were given a makeover last week courtesy of sta� from Lend Lease, the developer building the new town centre.

Almost 40 Lend Lease employees, including Phillipa Holmes (pictured), switched from building to cleaning .

Team leader Nerissa Avdoulos said the 1st Craigieburn Scout Group project was chosen because it provided a great resource for the local community.

“We hope our modest contribution enables the organisation to continue its great work in supporting, training and mentoring our young Victorians,” she said.

Rover Scout Luke Critchley was delighted to have the sort of helping hand Scouts usually lend to others.

“� e Scout hall is a hub with a range of activities taking place most week nights and weekends,” Luke said.

“It’s like a second home for most of us and the leaders, parents and children are very proud of their Scout hall. A well-maintained, functional and safe facility is vital to allow our group to thrive.”

It was Lend Lease’s 18th consecutive community day. Since the initiative began in 1996, employees have volunteered more than half a million hours worldwide. \ HG

growth areas neglected in road link plans: councilWhittlesea

Whittlesea councillors have condemned the state government for forsaking “urgently required transport projects” in Melbourne’s growth areas to fund the east-west link.

At an ordinary council meeting on Tuesday last week, councillors called on the state government to reveal the impact the $6- $8 billion project would have on other infrastructure projects in fringe suburbs.

Councillors voted unanimously to pass a motion to write to Premier Denis Napthine, Roads and Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder and local members of Parliament , expressing their concerns.

� e council called on the government to commit to funding “long-standing road and rail projects” in growth areas, as outlined in the Victorian Auditor-General’s report on

transport infrastructure in August.� e report, Developing Transport

Infrastructure and Services for Population Growth Areas, stated that rapid population growth in Melbourne’s outer suburbs and the need for infrastructure will create a “major challenge” for the state government by 2030.

It identi� ed Hume, Whittlesea, Melton, Mitchell, Cardinia, Casey and Wyndham as the key growth areas.

Whittlesea is the fastest-growing municipality in Australia, with the population expected to grow from about 170,000 now to 295,000 by 2031.

� e report estimates the total cost to the state and local governments to provide “all the infrastructure needed” will be $36 billion over the next 30 years, including more than

HAVE YOUR SAY [email protected]

$18 billion from the state government alone.South east ward councillor Sam Alessi

said the “citycentric” east-west link proposal neglected Melbourne’s growth areas .

“Successive governments have increased urban growth boundaries

without considering the infrastructure,” he said.

Cr Alessi said the project showed “shortsighted thinking” that would bene� t only about 20 per cent of the

population. “To put all the state’s eggs in one basket, it begs the question: What

about us?” he said.South west ward councillor Adrian Spinelli

said congestion in Whittlesea was a serious issue. “[Residents] don’t have time to enjoy their lives because they are stuck on Plenty Road,” he said.

Labor MP for Yan Yean Danielle Green

said she was pleased Whittlesea council was “going to get on board” and oppose the project.

Northern Metropolitan Liberal MP Craig Ondarchie said the east-west link was the state government’s top priority.

But he said the government was also improving transport in Whittlesea, with VicRoads upgrading the M80 Ring Road between Edgars Road and Plenty Road to build an additional lane in each direction.

Mr Ondarchie said Public Transport Victoria ha d also detailed a long-term plan to improve the train network over the next 40 years. \

lessons on the world of wormsGreen thumbs

While Mt Ridley College senior students in Craigieburn are still being schooled in portable classrooms, their grade 3 counterparts are out in the grounds, building a whole new world that has nothing to do with concrete and steel.

A� er a visit from the green thumbs at Craigieburn Bunnings, the school now has a working worm farm and pupils know all about what goes into feeding worms and getting back the compost and worm juice that makes for the best vegie patches in the world.

In the Whittlesea council area, keen gardeners of all ages can � nd out more about composting and worm farming at a tutorial at Mill Park library tomorrow from 7pm .

Whittlesea environmental education o� cer Sylvia Turk will co-ordinate the free community workshop, which is open to beginners and experienced composters.

Ms Turk said composting was one of the simplest ways to conserve the environment by

recycling food scraps and garden waste and reducing land� ll.

Participants will be in the running to win a 210-litre compost bin. \

my shoutPremier Denis Napthine last week announced a doubling of the capacity of Ravenhall Prison from 500 beds to more than 1000. It’s something of which the state government is proud, though I feel this is proof that we’re failing as a society. The same government which bickered with the Gillard government over health, the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Better Schools funding seemingly had no issue � nding millions of dollars to double the size of a prison to boost its image as being tough on crime. Yet little is being done to prevent prisons being � lled in the � rst place. The money would be better spent on increasing mental health and social welfare services and putting more back into TAFE and VCAL training, which helps people vulnerable to falling foul of the law gain a quali� cation and a livelihood. \

commuters have their say

train users surveyed

Lack of parking at and around stations, safety concerns and poor train services are the biggest problems faced by commuters, a survey report released by the RACV last week shows.

Titled On Track, the online survey had 4600 respondents who use Metro and V/Line services. It looked at train services, stations and surrounding infrastructure and commuters’ travelling habits.

Sunbury line Metro travellers are the unhappiest among metropolitan Melbourne’s

commuters, with only 3 per cent happy with the trains they catch.

On the South Morang line, 7 per cent of commuters were happy with train services, while 8 per cent were happy on the Craigieburn line.

Sunbury line commuters raised the highest number of safety and security concerns (9 per per cent), while 7 per cent of Craigieburn residents highlighted safety worries.

South Morang line commuters’ main complaints were about the bad behaviour of passengers on trains, train trips being too slow and having di� culty � nding parking .

RACV public transport and mobility manager � anuja Gunatillake said the survey results showed that, overall, people wanted better train services, improved safety and more car parking spots.

Public Transport Users Association president Tony Morton said there was a history of poor reliability of train services and overcrowding issues on the Sunbury line, and there was room to add more trains to the line. He said there were serious issues with feeder bus services and the low levels of pedestrian and bicycle amenity in the outer north, especially on the South Morang line. \

“We had two options, America or Australia,” Ghida says. “We chose Australia because it is a better country; we felt that it was safer than the United States.”

Ghida, now 50, and 82-year-old Ashmony arrived in Australia in 2009 and settled in Lalor.

September 17 was Australian Citizenship Day and mother and daughter became Australian citizens at a ceremony in South Morang.

The ceremony was the nation’s largest on Australian Citizenship Day, with 500 people taking the pledge.

For Ghida, living in Lalor is a different world from her native Nineveh in northern Iraq.

The Nineveh region is still unstable, with 21 people killed in a suicide bomb attack just last week.

“It is not a place where you can fulfil your dreams,” Ghida says.

She had finished a commerce degree and then a hairdresser traineeship in Iraq, and worked as a hairdresser for five years before she left the country.

Safety is not the only issue that plagues Iraqis, she says.

Another key issue is fewer opportunities for

PROfiLE \ ghida youkhana has found hope

employment. Now Ghida is undertaking a teaching course at the Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE.

“Here I have many friends of different nationalities – they speak Spanish, Italian and Arabic,’’ she says.

Ghida says she also enjoys living in Lalor, “a beautiful suburb” where “people are very nice”.

Although Ashmony can’t speak English well, Ghida says it is comforting that her mother

can spend time with Iraqi friends from the community and attend their church.

But Ghida and Ashmony still face challenges living as Iraqi immigrants in Australia.

Ghida’s younger sister has been trying to get a visa to come to Australia, but she has found the

migration process difficult and lengthy. “The laws are very strict and she has been trying for a

long time,” Ghida says.There is also a brother in Germany who has been

unable to obtain a tourist visa to visit his mother and sister in Australia.

That has meant Ghida and Ashmony have to visit him, which Ghida says is taking its toll on her ageing mother.

“She has difficulty walking and it is hard for her to travel,” she says.

But Ghida says they are very happy to be living in Australia.

They finally have opportunities they have never had before.

But most importantly, she says, they feel safe here. \

‘we want out of hume’SUNBURY

Sunbury residents have never wanted to be part of the Hume municipality, Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie O’Farrell told a meeting last Wednesday .

� e association called the meeting to press its case for Sunbury to secede from Hume and have its own shire.

Ballot papers for Hume residents to have their say will be sent out early next month.

Sunbury councillors Jack Ogilvie, Jack Medcra� and Ann Potter were among 450 people at the meeting.

“� is is the consolidation of 19 years of campaigning in Sunbury to determine if we had a vote [over the Sunbury-out-of-Hume issue] in this town,” Mr O’Farrell told the meeting.

Former Sunbury Place manager Lawrence Seyers spoke about two state government-commissioned reports by accounting � rm KPMG, which looked at services Sunbury residents now get and the � nancial costs to both Sunbury and Hume if the boundaries changed.

Mr Seyers said the � rst report had incorrect de� nitions in relation to town planning and ignored the Sunbury town plan from 2008, while the second had

“lazy assumptions”. “It should have been a Sunbury-speci� c report,” he said. “I was told [by the government] it’s too large and complex a project to look at a Sunbury report [alone].” Former Shire of Bulla town planner John McKerrow said the � nancial report was based on assumptions by KPMG.

All three councillors were asked whether they supported a new Sunbury shire. Councillors Ogilvie and Medcra� said they did, while Cr Potter indicated she had

reservations. Cr Ogilvie that said if the proposed

rates could not be cut by 8 per cent by a new Sunbury council, ‘‘I’ll jump o� the West Gate Bridge’’.

“I know the Hume � nancials better than most people,” he said.

Cr Potter said she wasn’t completely against Sunbury’s secession from Hume.

“I believe everybody should be able to a� ord to live in this area,” she said. “But if it’s going to cost my community any more [than they pay now] and have less services, it’s not something I can put my hand up and support.”

candle vigil seeks end to ‘violent’ sentences

‘higher focus’ call to pmMulticulturalism is an Australian success story that Calwell MP Maria Vamvakinou doesn’t want put out of sight or mind.

“It deserves a higher focus,” Ms Vamvakinou said last week on hearing of the ministerial and departmental changes announced by Prime Minister Tony Abbott. “My initial reaction is that he has gone for the easy targets.”

� ree senior public servants were sacked, while AusAID was integrated into Foreign A� airs and Trade, which will also take on responsibility for the overseas promotion of Australia as a tourist destination.

Entire departments have been scrapped, including regional Australia, local government, arts and sport.

� e Coalition has declared it will stop planned growth of the aid program, e� ectively stripping it of $4.5 billion .

But it is the nation-building programs based on the successes of Australia’s multicultural policies that most concern Ms Vamvakinou .

“� e rami� cations are obvious,” she said. “Programs will not be able to run. Some won’t be able to go ahead even though we made commitments.”

While still unsure which overseas aid programs would be hardest cut, Ms Vamvakinou said she feared the � rst impacts would hit programs in Africa.

Representing one of the most culturally diverse communities in Australia, Ms Vamvakinou chaired the Labor government’s standing committee on migration . Its report, Inquiry into

Migration and Multiculturalism in Australia, was tabled in

Federal Parliament in March . It recommends the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet be responsible for delivering a

whole-of-government perspective on services to culturally and

linguistically diverse communities, including health, education, housing and employment.

Ms Vamvakinou said she remain ed hopeful Mr Abbott would stay true to his word when he said multiculturalism was one area he “got wrong” until recently.

‘‘I am hoping this is not just him paying lip service,” she said.

“I will hold him to his pronouncements about multiculturalism .” \

death penalty

� e Hume action group of Amnesty International will hold a candle vigil in Broadmeadows next month, asking participants to sign a petition calling for the abolition of the death penalty around the world.

Co-ordinators Amy Howell and Nadine Kotob (pictured) have organised video screenings and refreshments to share.

“With a current downward trend against the death penalty, mass public pressure right now may help persuade countries to stop and release the more than 23,000 people who are currently awaiting execution on death row around the world,” she said.

“Whatever form it takes – electrocution, hanging, beheading, stoning or lethal injection – the death penalty is a violent punishment and we believe it has no place in today’s criminal justice system.”

� e vigil will take place between 7pm and 8pm on � ursday, October 10, at Hume Global Learning Centre .

� e group meets at 7pm on the � rst Wednesday of the month. \ HG

‘dump atms, help punters’ Gaming report

� e removal of ATMs from gambling venues signi� cantly reduces harm to gamblers but has little a� ect on other patrons, a statewide study has found.

� e Swinburne University report, commissioned by the Department of Justice O� ce of Liquor, Gaming and Racing, assessed the e� ectiveness of removing ATMs from venues with electronic gaming machines (EGMs).

� e report found that gamblers “substantially and signi� cantly” reduced the time and money spent on EGMs in venues where they had reduced access to more cash.

Whittlesea’s three most pro� table gaming venues have in-house cash facilities, with cash-out available over the bar.

Epping Plaza Hotel, the Plough Hotel and Bundoora Taverner each have 100 EGMs. Gamblers lost a total $57.5 million at the three venues between July 2012 and June this year.

Whittlesea residents lost $93.2 million at EGMs in the same period.

� e Swinburne report found the removal of ATMs meant high-risk gamblers spent less time and money playing, gained self-control, reduced overspending and reduced the

severity of problem gambling symptoms. � e absence of cash-out facilities at gaming venues was only a minor inconvenience for other patrons.

Hume’s three most pro� table venues, Gladstone Park Hotel, Roxburgh Park Hotel

and Sylvania Hotel in Campbell� eld, have 244 licensed EGMs between them.

Gamblers lost a combined $44,218,764.4 at EGMs in these three venues between July 2012 and

June this year. Hume residents lost a total of $98,760,072.21 at EGMs in the

2012/13 � nancial year.Australian Leisure and Hospitality group

owns and operates two of the municipality’s most pro� table venue, Bundoora Taverner and the Plough Hotel in Mill Park.

ALH spokesman David Curry said the group had a responsible gambling program that went “above and beyond” state requirements.

� e HLM group, which operates Whittlesea’s largest venue, Epping Plaza Hotel, uses a “cooling-o� system”.

Spokesman Tony Parsons said patrons could not take cash out directly, they must collect it from an on-site redemption area. \

With the rolling hills of Kangaroo Ground as its backdrop, Redbox Vineyard and Winery stands on 20 acres and has 8000 vines that are 25 years old.

The vineyard produces three types of

grapes with nine products made from the cabernet grapes, including the award-winning cabernet sauvignon, the 2012 cabernet blanc, the delicious Ice Cabernet dessert wine and their homemade cabernet jelly.

Owned by Colin and Glenys Spencer, the winery is open every weekend. Visitors can sample the fine wines and bring a picnic to share in the grounds – there is no charge for using the barbecues or facilities.

Alternatively they can purchase one of

Glenys’s delectable lemonade scones, cakes, antipasto or cheese platters, and enjoy it with freshly prepared tea or coffee.

On October 19 and 20, Redbox will be part of the Open Cellars of Nillumbik Festival. Their vintage wines from 2012 and 2013 will be available for tastings, along with the long-awaited return of the estate riesling and an exceptional chardonnay. \

dEcaNTER \ Ben Thomas Goes FULL CYCLe

Speak to winemakers and they will all tell you the same thing: “Good wine is made in the vineyard.”

While wine is made only once a year, work in vineyards runs all year. In fact, vines and their grapes go through a regular cycle that changes with the seasons.

The beginning of the vine’s circle of life starts in autumn, when vines go into dormancy.

“We consider that to be the start of the next season,” Yabby Lake vineyard manager Keith Harris says. “The next step is to prune the vines to a number of buds.”

Harris says the number of buds left on the vines helps to estimate the size of the following year’s crop.

“In August, we start seeing a bit of bud swell and little fluffy buds come out,” he says.

“We normally look out for budburst, which is when 50 per cent of those buds have

green tips showing on the end – at the end of August.” The vines then go through growth stages.

“Then we get into the flowering period around the last week of November ... we look for the caps to fall off and the flowers to be exposed,” say of respondents s Harris. “The fruit sets after flowering. We go through bunch counts and see if we’re going to get the crop we thought.”

When vines are flowering, the grapes for that vintage are being made and the buds for the next vintage are being generated. As the grapes grow, their cells expand and divide.

“Then they move into veraison, which is when the bunches start to soften and the red grapes go from green to pink and dark red,” Harris says. “When we get to that stage, we know we’ll be harvesting two months from that date.’’

After harvest, the cycle continues. \

COACH HONOURS HERO IN THE WINGSFootball

Bundoora Bulls coach Phil Plunkett was ecstatic as he received his medal as premier-ship coach in his � rst year in the role.

But it didn’t hang around his neck very long. Plunkett called Lou Galea, a long-time supporter of the club to the stage and presented him with the medal to the cheers of the crowd.

Galea was told a year ago that he had only three months to live.

“Louie is struggling with some health issues,” Plunkett said. “He said to me at the start of the year that he might not be around for another Bundoora premiership.

“So I said to him, ‘you made it, you won it, here you go’. It means a lot to him and his family. He’s a major part of the way the club is.” Despite his ill health, Galea smiled broadly as did hundreds of other Bulls supporters a� er Bundoora pulled o� a remarkable comeback.

At three-quarter time, Plunkett urged his players to take the game on and, despite the 33-point de� cit, it was obvious the playing group, coaching sta� and fans believed the game wasn’t over.

Plunkett said he truly believed the Bulls could still win the game. “I just said we’ve got to take risks because we’ve got nothing to lose,” he said.

“We can’t save the game. We had to try

to win it. Play on at all costs, throw caution to the wind and don’t leave the ground wondering what might have been.

“� e breeze helped and once we started to create a little bit of doubt in Montmorency we were able to come home with it. It was just a

terri� c e� ort from all 22 of them.”Bundoora was being

comprehensively outplayed earlier in the game, but the Magpies kept their opponents in it with some poor kicking for goal. � e Bulls were able to get crucial goals to

keep their heads above water, but even Plunkett admitted that they were

making it tough for themselves.“� ey were very much so [in control].

Particularly in that second quarter they kicked a few into the breeze and we weren’t able to capitalise on what we had and I thought it’s gonna be a tough one from here,” he said.

“But adrenaline’s a big thing in footy. Our advantage was last week when we played Northcote Park [a 66-point win]. � at gave us a massive amount of belief that we could do it and we took that into this week. � e boys were very excited before the game and they fought it out well. I’m very pleased.”\

BRIEFS

rampaging bulls charge to flag winFootball

Bundoora is celebrating a second Northern Football League premiership in three years a� er an astonishing � nal-quarter turnaround saw the Bulls storm home to beat minor premier Montmorency.

Trailing by 33 points at three-quarter time, Bundoora booted 9.8 to nothing in the � nal term and crushed the Magpies’ hopes of a � rst � ag since 1979, when the competition was known as the Diamond Valley Football League.

When the � nal siren sounded the scoreboard read 17.21 (123) to 13.16 (94).

It was an incredible � nish to what had been an odd game. In the � rst term the Bulls looked uncharacteristically � at, struggling to get the ball into their forward half as the Magpies dominated across the ground.

When the Bulls did go inside 50, key forwards Cameron Cloke and Gary Moorcro� had little chance because of poor delivery, a number of kicks being grubbers.

It threatened to get ugly, but Montmorency was also wasting opportunities in front of goal, � nishing the quarter with 3.9.

� e Magpies extended their league in the second term and led by 35 points at one stage.

� e Bulls’ only highlight for the term was a superb Cloke torpedo goal from about 70 metres out on a tight angle.

But skill errors continued to cost the Bulls, Alex Chiocci intercepting a handpass in Montmorency’s goalsquare and kicking a goal shortly before the siren.

� e third quarter followed a similar pattern, the Magpies dominating early and jumping out to a 47-point lead at one stage.

� e game appeared all but over, although Moorcro� , who won the AFL ‘mark of the year’ while playing for Essendon in 2001, showed he still has the leap by taking a screamer in the goalsquare and converting.

But moments later, when Cloke dished o� a handpass to Salvatore Mamone 20 metres from goal, it was fumbled and the three-quarter time siren sounded.

With Montmorency playing only once in the previous three weeks, you’d have expected the Magpies to have the legs. But the Bulls, who started pre-season early a� er a disappointing straight-sets � nals exit last year, made the Magpies look decidedly second-rate in a barnstorming � nal term.

Skipper and best-on-ground Brayden Shaw started the � ghtback with the � rst goal of the quarter (and a couple of misses). Moorcro� and Adrian Papaluca also missed before Cloke marked and goaled to cut the margin to 11. He jumped in delight, his � sts pumping, and suddenly Bundoora was looking dangerous.

Montmorency couldn’t get their hands on the footy out of the middle and when Cloke and Moorcro� combined for a goal for the � rst time all a� ernoon, the Bulls hit the front.

� e Magpies had little � ght le� and the Bulls ensured there would be no heartbreak with more goals to Trent Barbero and Shaw, the latter of whom ran past the fence high-� ving supporters with the win sealed.

Bundoora fans started the “Hey, hey, hey, goodbye” chant and Moorcro� kicked the last goal as the siren sounded.

� e Bulls then broke into song a� er sealing the division one premiership.\
