A record number of babies have been born at the Northern Hospital in the past 12 months.

�e number of births at the Epping hospital has almost doubled in the space of �ve years – from 2352 births in the 2010-11 �nancial year to 3420 in the �nancial year just ended, an increase of more than 45 per cent.

Northern Health chief executive o�cer Janet Crompton said the jump re�ected massive population growth in the outer northern suburbs.

“Northern Health is situated in a rapidly growing community,” she said.

“We are predicting an eight per cent growth in maternity over the next 12 months.”

Each year for the past �ve �nancial years, the hospital has witnessed average increases of almost 10 per cent in the number of children born.

According to Whittlesea council’s latest growth statistics bulletin, in 2014 the estimated residential population grew by 8130 people, or 156 people each week.

�e council’s population forecast predicts high growth in the next two years, with an average increase of 8228 people each year until 2017.

Northern Hospital’s record closely follows the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ latest population �gures that show South Morang is the fastest-growing suburb in the nation.

In the year to June, 2013, 80 people a week moved into South Morang.

Whittlesea is the third-largest and fastest- growing local government area in Victoria, behind Melbourne and Wyndham, according to ABS statistics.

Sarah Stewart, of the Australian College of Midwives, said Northern Hospital’s growth in births was to be expected.

“�e area is attracting more and more young people so it’s only natural that birth rates in the area spike,” said Ms Stewart, who has been a midwife for more than 30 years.

Westpac’s 2015 First Home Buyers report (full story on page 3) reveals that Epping is the ninth-most-popular suburb for �rst-home buyers in the state.

�e bank’s head of retail and banking products and services, Andy Kerr, said the federal government’s First Home Owners Grant scheme, which o�ers $15,000 to people purchasing new homes, was attracting young couples and families to the new housing estates in the northern growth corridor.

“First-home buyers are seeing the growth potential of northern suburbs, like Epping, which are developing some of the bene�ts and

‘‘ They can �nd a larger property … at an entry-level price ’’ - Andy Kerr

Epping and Craigieburn are among the top 10 most popular suburbs with �rst-home buyers, the latest Westpac data shows.

�e 2015 Westpac First Home Buyers Reportfound �rst-home buyers who are eligible for the federal government’s �rst-home owners grant are increasingly buying in Melbourne’s north.

Craigieburn was the second-most-popular suburb with �rst-home buyers in Victoria in the six months until March 30.

Epping was the ninth-most-sought-a�er suburb with this �rst-home buyers’ group.

�e report surveyed 1521 Australians,

aged 18 to 64, via an online questionnaire. �e information was then supplemented with Westpac internal data collated between October 2014 and March 2015.

�e �ndings reveal almost 80 per cent of �rst-home owners chose to purchase a house with a backyard rather than a townhouse or apartment.

Westpac’s Andy Kerr said half the popular suburbs chosen by Victorian �rst-home buyers in the past six months were in the northern growth corridor. He attributed the region’s attraction to the state government’s increasing

amenities of inner Melbourne while living with more space and without the price tag,” Mr Kerr said. “As you move further away from the inner city, these areas also give �rst-home buyers the chance to �nd a larger property that can �t a growing family at an entry-level price.”

�e report found the three most important features for �rst-home buyers were proximity to shops, work and public transport.

Nine in 10 named owning their own home as one of their top three life goals.

�ere’s light at the end of the tunnel for commuters fed up with parking in a mud bath opposite South Morang station.

Public Transport Victoria (PTV) is in talks with West�eld to lease land on the corner of McDonalds Road and Civic Drive for a temporary carpark for about 450 to 500 cars.

PTV spokeswoman Jess Maguire said a lease was being negotiated with the retail group to retain car spaces where commuters now park.

“PTV is negotiating and �nalising arrangements with the private owner to retain the temporary car parking at the current location, where commuters are parking to minimise walking distances,” she said.

A planning permit application was lodged with Whittlesea council on July 3.

“Works will commence shortly therea�er, with the project to be completed in late 2015,” Ms Maguire said.

PTV has been working with Whittlesea council since May to �nd a site for temporary additional commuter parking.

Spokesman Adrian Darwent said PTV was undertaking a wider survey of commuter parking at South Morang and Mernda “to inform longer-term parking demand and requirements through planning for the Mernda rail extension”.

�e new gravel car park will boost the number of car parking spaces at the station to more than 900. �e station’s 450 existing spaces o�en �ll before 7am, forcing commuters to park on West�eld-owned land that has resembled a muddy paddock for two months.

A new pavilion for Yan Yean Tennis Club is a step closer a�er Whittlesea council agreed to fast-track a detailed design and ask for more money for the project from the Interface Growth Fund (IGF).

�e club has run a long-standing campaign for upgrades to its club house and for new courts.

Club secretary Adele Heaney and coaching director Doug Hamilton made submissions to the council’s 2014-15 budget, requesting more money to repair the club’s ageing facilities and cope with exponential growth in young members.

Mr Hamilton said the tennis club would

�eld nine junior tennis teams next season. “�is represents a 300 per cent increase in junior teams over the past few years, and we are growing quicker than any other club in the Diamond Valley Tennis Association,” he said.

Ms Heaney said the club asked the council for $75,000 from its 2015-16 budget to be allocated this year and a larger sum of $500,000 to $1 million for next year.

“�e club will show that over a number of years it has been losing long-time adult members directly due to the poor facilities,” she submitted.

Ms Heaney said the club had to use a nearby public toilet block that was closed in the evening.

In response, Whittlesea council has said

the design of the pavilion upgrade will be fast-tracked, and it will consider making this a priority project for the IGF.

�e state government is o�ering outer suburban councils a share in $50 million to help them build community centres, local infrastructure projects and playgrounds.

A council spokeswoman said there had been no formal decision on the priority projects for submission to the IGF as yet, but council o�cers would meet to discuss potential projects.

“Yan Yean Tennis Club’s inclusion on the priority list for funding is being assessed against the IGF criteria and other priority projects,” she said.

“�e design timeframe and actual funding request is yet to be determined.”

Netball theft case in courtMernda woman Christine Melnikas pleaded guilty to six theft charges totalling almost $200,000 in the County Court last week. The former Banyule netball association secretary pleaded guilty to charges dating from 2007 to 2012. Court documents originally claimed she stole more than $988,000 from the Banyule and Districts Netball Association by falsifying accounts and �nancial records. She will face court for a plea hearing in October.

Making beanies is serious business in Alice Springs. Each year, women (mainly) begin furiously knitting elaborate, colourful beanies in time for the annual Alice Springs Beanie Festival in late June. Now a play about the knit-a-thon will come to Plenty Ranges Arts Centre, thanks to manager James Mavros, a board member of Black Lines, a national touring initiative that connects suburban Australia to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dance and theatre �e play, Head Full of Love, centres on Nessa Tavistock, who arrives in Alice Springs where she meets Tilly Napuljari, an Indigenous woman who is behind on her knitting and in need of kidney dialysis. Written by Alana

Valentine, the play centres on these two women and an unlikely friendship that transcends cultural and racial di�erences. Mr Mavros has booked the play in at South Morang, securing a date for July 21 while it’s on a national tour from June to September. To coincide with the show, the Yarra Plenty Regional library has organised its own beanie-making competition, entries in which will be exhibited in the theatre foyer. �e winner will receive a family ticket to Circus Oz. All the beanies will then be donated to Purple House, an Aboriginal renal dialysis healthcare organisation. Tickets can be purchased online: http://bit.ly/1Sc8yfw or call 9217 2317.

Motorbike riders from the northern suburbs had a rough time on the roads last year, the latest RACV Insurance statistics reveal.

�e insurer’s �gures show that 67 claims were submitted by motorcycle- riding policy holders in the northern suburbs in 2014 – an increase of about 30 per cent on the previous 12 months when there were 51 claims.

�e RACV bundles Moreland, Hume, Banyule, Nillumbik, Moonee Valley, Darebin and Whittlesea councils in a northern suburbs grouping.

In Hume, 10 motorcyclists submitted a claim last year, compared to seven in 2013. In Whittlesea, however, there were just two motorcycle insurance claims, compared to seven in 2013. Whittlesea, was the north’s only local government area to record a reduction in such claims.

RACV general manager of insurance Paul Northey said most claims were attributed to losing control of the bike or being hit by a car.

“VicRoads registration data tells us that there are about 71,000 more motorbikes registered today than 10 years ago,” he said. “An increasing number of people using motorcycles, in combination with tra�c congestion in inner city areas, is likely to be a signi�cant factor behind increases in collisions,” Mr Northey said.

�e data also showed the� of motorbikes rising, with 15 per cent of claims statewide in 2014 due to the�.

When the thermostat plummets, winemaker and viticulture teacher Alastair Reed heads to his local liquor store for a bottle of shiraz.

And he’s not alone. �e Epping campus-based Melbourne Polytechnic senior lecturer says it’s a commonly held belief in the wine industry that weather, and climate, play a signi�cant role in determining wine purchases. But, he adds, the theory hasn’t been adequately tested or quanti�ed.

Cork sealed on a theory

Senior viticulture lecturer Dr Alastair Reed. (Damjan Janevski)

So Dr Reed and former student Michael Shannon set out to do the tests. Using genetics so�ware and a large amount of data from one of Australia’s two biggest wine merchants, they mapped more than four million wine transactions made in a 12-month period to test whether we drink sauvignon blanc when it’s hot and shiraz when it’s cold.

�e former geneticist-turned-winemaker said he was staggered at the extent to which the theory held true. On the whole, their analysis proved that temperature heavily in�uenced the

buying mentalities of Victorian drinkers. “�e temperature on the day a�ects shiraz sales, but this is interesting on a number of levels. Climate change will a�ect what grapes can grow and viticulture, but it may also a�ect what people purchase.”

�e Altona resident presented the joint �ndings at the recent American Association of Wine Economics conference, taking the Christophe Baron Award for best presentation.

“�ere’s nothing like proving something that everybody already knew,” Dr Reed said.

When Bob Laidler knocked back an entire two-litre bottle of so� drink 11 years ago, he knew something was up. His sudden and intense sugar craving prompted him to see his doctor the following day, con�rming his grim suspicion – he had type 2 diabetes.

“�ere’d been a bit of stress in the family; we thought my wife had pancreatic cancer, but I have no history of it [diabetes] in the family,” the Bulla resident said.

While his wife’s ill health turned out to be just a scare, Mr Laidler has had to manage living with his disease with medication, a balanced diet and frequent exercise, for more than a decade now.

A�er being diagnosed, he joined the Sunbury Diabetes Support Group, which had about 30 members at the time and held regular

meetings. But, over the years, member numbers dwindled, a fate Mr Laidler wants to reverse.

He’s hoping National Diabetes Week (July 12-18) will li� awareness of the disease and the e�ectiveness of support groups, and encourage others in the area to join.

“It gives you an insight into how other people manage their diabetes and makes you aware that you’re not on your own,” he said.

“It doesn’t have to be a death sentence.” Neither diabetes nor age has slowed down

the 64-year-old, who owns and runs a kennel at Bulla. He says with careful management, diabetics can live a normal life.

A community garden, built in the a�ermath of the Black Saturday bush�res, has been thrown a lifeline.

Whittlesea community garden grew out of the 2009 bush�res with funding from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal. It was designed to bring community together to heal and was set up next to Whittlesea community activity centre, a central gathering point in the days and weeks a�er the �res.

�e garden has �ourished under the care of its facilitator, Megan Southwick, who works at least 15 hours each week building partnerships with schools, nursing homes and individuals, and tending the garden.

Funding for her role was to end on June 30, but Whittlesea council has stepped in and o�ered the community house $9000, almost half the facilitator’s $18,200 salary, as a one-o� grant.

Ms Southwick, a Whittlesea township resident had held the facilitator’s role for �ve years. She said it was “a big relief” it had been saved.

�e garden engages diverse people in workshops and activities, such as sustainable gardening, arts and cra�s, physical health and wellbeing and healthy eating.

Community house manager Mary-Lynn Gri�th said the facilitator’s role would not have continued without the council’s help.

“We were a bit stuck. �is shows just how important this project is,” Ms Gri�th said.

She said the house’s management committee held a budget meeting on �ursday to �nd the remaining monies for the facilitator’s salary.

Working out just got easier in Hume. The council is rolling out gym equipment in parks and gardens, including parallel bars, sit-up benches and stationary cycles. Equipment is now in place at Craigieburn Gardens, Sunbury Recreation Reserve, Malcolm Creek Parklands and Central Park in Craigieburn, Napoli Park in Greenvale and Anderson Reserve in Broadmeadows. Hume mayor Adem Atmaca (pictured in Napoli Park) is known to duck down to the park for a quick workout during his lunch break. He says the exercise gear is perfect for people who feel intimidated by gyms. “The equipment caters for a range of �tness levels, and there are instructions on each apparatus describing how it works,” he said. More equipment will go in Shankland-Tarcoola Reserve in Meadow Heights and Westmeadows Reserve in Ardlie Street before the end of the year. Lexi Cottee

A teacher in Epping is doing his bit for world peace.

St Monica’s College’s social justice co-ordinator Fadi Elbarbar wants his students to understand and appreciate every religion, so he’s taken his teaching beyond the classroom.

Earlier this month, a group of students from the Catholic school spent a few hours at Al Siraat College to meet fellow students and discuss each other’s cultures and faiths.

Mr Elbarbar said the two Epping schools decided that the best way to teach students about each other’s culture and religion – Islam and Christianity – was to organise regular

visits. �e day’s schedule included a school tour, student presentations, a tour of Al Siraat’s Islamic museum and a joint prayer time.

Mr Elbarbar hopes the initiative can be broadened to other schools and faiths.

“I hope these meetings will break down the barriers that at times seem to provide quite a challenge to society,” he said. “�is is a great opportunity for students to broaden their understanding of other cultures and religions, not just by reading a text book but by a genuine interchange with similar-aged students.”

Melbourne’s world-standard international school

Designing leadershipDesigning a quiet outdoor space with local architects is one of many projects that Fitzroy Primary School’s student leaders have helped to manage. �e school’s kitchen garden leaders also worked with artists to improve the garden area through innovative and creative use of space. �is included enhancing the grounds with artistic decorations featuring colourful wheels and mobiles.

Principal Julie Rothman says students play a major role in school events, explore ways to continually improve the school and have input into buildings and grounds development. “Our Junior School Council has worked on the design of a quiet outdoor space, which they have named the Harmony Garden,” she says. “�is was done in consultation with local architects.”

All students in years 5 and 6 can choose to take a leadership role. “Our art captain plays a major role in the planning and implementation of our yearly art exhibition by working with our art teacher and community artists,” Julie says.

“We value the input of our students and therefore provide a range of … leadership positions. Student leaders at our school work co-operatively with other students, teachers and … members of the local community. �is provides our student leaders with a broader perspective and a broader development of their leadership skills. Fitzroy Primary School is a school small enough to know each child as an individual and large enough to provide a comprehensive curriculum and a broad range of opportunities.”

Inspired to leadStudents are taking on many and varied roles in their school communities

Inspiring schoolmatesTaylah McCormick used her entrepreneurial skills to convince Mentone Girls’ Grammar School to introduce an enterprise captain this year – and appoint her. �e year 12 student hit the ground running, organising guest speakers and workshops to encourage her fellow students’ passion, vision, leadership and resilience.

“I think it’s important for the girls in our school to be entrepreneurial and develop 21st-century skills,” she says. “�is is a really important priority for us, to help young women

have the con�dence to succeed, no matter what career they end up doing.”

As enterprise captain, Taylah arranged for Peter Coronica, a restaurateur who founded Fingerprint Me youth employment academy, to speak to the students. Peter started the academy a�er watching young people wait tables because they could not achieve their career goals.

Taylah also organised a workshop with the Mentone Girls’ Enterprise Club, a group of award winners, including a violinist in year 3, who have won school funding to develop their

own products or initiatives. Enterprise is a key theme at the school, which has more than 25 year 12 leadership roles. All year 6 students also have leadership responsibilities.

“I’m just trying to help the students develop entrepreneurial skills and know that they can basically achieve anything they want to, and help them to do that whether that’s being a mentor or helping them to �nd skills within themselves,” Taylah says. “I hope to study food science at university and become the next Carolyn Creswell (Carman’s Fine Foods founder) or Janine Allis (Boost Juice).”

St Monica’s College, EPPING“School of Educational Enterprise”

Leading the wayCharles La Trobe College’s student leaders re�ect its diversity – about 40 ethnic backgrounds are represented at the school. �e Junior School and Middle School have school captains and house captains, while the Senior School has school, sports, community, arts and house captains.

All student leaders work across the school with senior students to mentor and support younger students.

�ey take part in leadership development days designed to build individual and collective leadership skills.

Using these skills, they plan and deliver a range of programs, such as athletics days, talent quests, art shows, debating competitions and fund-raising for community causes including the recent Nepal earthquake.

�ey also work hard to raise awareness about topical events.

�is year the school’s leaders recognised the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing and invited a local Rotary member to visit and talk about the history and meaning of Anzac Day.

“Our students value the opportunity of having their voice heard and being able to act on their ideas for the bene�t of others in the school and wider community,” principal Jason Bek says.

“Asked what they found special about our student leadership program, students said that it was the way they all work together to achieve the many di�erent activities across the school and support each other, and everyone has the opportunity to put forward their ideas.”

Learning journeysTrinity Grammar School students develop leadership skills and learn about themselves during Learning Journeys – a �ve-day leadership program tailored to suit the personal development of year 8 students. �e program is held in the Victorian high country, based out of Toolangi. Students get involved in physically and mentally challenging and stimulating activities, such as muddy obstacle courses, in di�erent locations.

�e boys are taken on a journey to explore how they understand and manage themselves and others in their year level, and how they react to challenging situations. �e camp is an integral part of Trinity Grammar’s personal development program and designed

captains, Student Representative Council members, sport and interest group captains, outdoor leaders and prefects.

�e year 11 and 12 senior school has 43 prefects in portfolios as diverse as well-being, Aboriginal reconciliation, faith and worship and information technology. Students also lead clubs with themes such as the gay and straight alliance, make poverty history, Amnesty International, inter-faith and anti-bullying. Lani says such roles are paramount for personal development.

“It gives the school life and character and makes school enjoyable as peers in�uence each other,” she says.

Leadership can be learned Students are well prepared to take charge at school and in life a�er completing St Catherine’s School Toorak’s year 9 and 10 leadership diploma. �e program allows girls to strengthen their school community and re�ne and perfect their leadership skills.

�e leadership diploma incorporates all components of the years 9 and 10 curriculum, recognising academic and co-curricular achievement. “�ey must successfully complete criteria, including involvement in positive relationships, mentoring programs, community service and environment programs, performance and public speaking, outdoor education and positive role modelling,” says 2015 participant Madeleine Leggo.

“�e leadership diploma is designed for students to become more independent. �e diploma drives us to be organised, proactive, altruistic, insightful and empathetic. We have the opportunity to make a tangible di�erence in our school and local community.”

Madeleine says the diploma encourages students to step outside their comfort zone and try new and di�erent activities inside and outside the school.

“�e journey provides us with a strong insight, not only into our school and wider community, but ourselves through the personal re�ections requirements,” she says.

Fellow participant Demi Markakis adds: “I believe a good school is built on good leaders. �e leadership diploma at St Catherine’s creates leaders that younger students are able to look up to; it is what makes the school so unique.”

to challenge and extend the personal and relational horizons of year 8 students.

Underpinning leadership programs developed for the senior years of schooling, Learning Journeys is based on three key areas: self, others and challenge. Students also hear from inspirational speakers such as former basketballer Eric Bailey, Paralympic cyclist Stuart Tripp, helicopter paramedic Peter Davidson and former AFL coach Stan Alves. �e activities and speakers help to prepare the boys for their senior years and motivate and inspire them to become well-rounded and community-minded citizens.

Going greenLani Trevena wants Methodist Ladies’ College to have recycling bins in every classroom, compost bins outside and a �ltered water tap to encourage fellow students and school visitors to use water bottles. Her Green Team has already achieved 100 per cent recycled and carbon neutral paper throughout the college.

As environment and sustainability prefect, Lani leads the Green Team in enabling the MLC community to reduce its environmental footprint.

�e team is also working to replace halogen lights with environmentally friendly LED versions and organise a phone swap and secondhand book sales.

Lani says as well as the environmental bene�ts, her role is building her con�dence and relationships with others at the school. It also allows Green Team members to put their passion for sustainability into practice and instigate lasting change. “We feel empowered by seeing projects through and realising they can make an impact,” she says.

MLC has hundreds of leadership positions – about 200 in the Junior School, 250 in years 7-8, more than 250 in years 9-10 (including Marshmead) and 300 in years 11-12. �ey include home-group captains, social service

She might still be in primary school, but Scarlett-Rose Bulmer is already an international animal welfare activist.

Last year the ELTHAM College year 6 student made a video highlighting the plight of Asian moon bears, who are caged and have their bile extracted for medicine.

In the video, Scarlett-Rose describes how the bears got their name – from a white crescent-shaped patch on their chest – and how cruel the extraction process is.

�e video was based on Scarlett-Rose’s speech for a school public-speaking competition.

It is now on the website of Animals Asia, an organisation that �ghts moon bear bile farming. Animals Asia chief executive Jill Robinson thanked Scarlett-Rose for her e�orts and made her a junior ambassador.

�e video has been viewed and shared almost 18,000 times.

“I feel I have made a big di�erence in promoting awareness about what’s happening to these beautiful bears,” Scarlett-Rose says. “It makes me feel good that I can help.”

She was inspired by her aunt, Sally Rodd, who sponsors a rescued moon bear through www.adoptamoonbear.com/ “Scarlett-Rose’s words and her passionate delivery…give the video its impact,” Sally says. “I am so proud of what she has achieved.”

Scarlett-Rose is now working with ELTHAM College to raise money for next month’s Honey Money Days, which aim to raise $25,000 for bear protection and rehabilitation.

An ambassador for the event, Scarlett-Rose is developing ideas with fellow students.

Vet Dr Jen O’Dwyer, who has worked for Animals Asia, might visit the school to discuss

Youth and passion unite for animal welfare

Care for bearsthe rehabilitation of rescued bears. Other ideas include origami, spelling and colouring competitions, a teddy moon bears’ picnic, baking moon bear biscuits, egg and spoon races, sack races and parachute games.

“It’s really exciting,” Scarlett-Rose says.ELTHAM has many leadership roles for

students such as Scarlett-Rose, who is junior years arts captain.

She thinks such roles are a great way to develop con�dence.

“Lots of kids in my class have leadership roles,” she says.

“We all went to the student leadership conference in the city. It was so much fun. Also, on school camp each year there are fun leadership exercises, especially on our survival camp.”

Scarlett-Rose, who is also a talented dancer and trains for 28 hours a week, hopes to meet Jill, do work experience with her in Vietnam and eventually work in an area where she can improve the welfare of animals and people.

“Jill Robinson is just amazing,” she says. “�ey’ve saved hundreds of bears.”

Epping Netball Club is planning for the future despite still having several weeks le� to play of the Northern Netball League season.

�e Pingers, who have teams in section four and seven, want to ensure a coming generation of players see their future with the club.

Club co-ordinator Kirsty Stilsby said increasing the number of junior girls at the club was one of the aims.

�e Pingers already have a couple of young girls in their section seven side.

“We want to have three, four, maybe �ve sides in the next couple of years,” Stilsby said.

“We had a group of under-13s play in the under-17 competition the NNL ran a few years ago and [they] were runners up.

“Most have played rep netball … we want to try and hold onto them. Next year they will be old enough to play in the senior competition.”

As for this season, both the club’s sides are sitting inside their top fours.

“We are going OK so far,” said Stilsby, who plays in the section four side. “We won section �ve last year, so we have gone up to section four this season.”

�e Pingers’ section four side returned to the winners’ list on Friday night with a 25-23 victory over Fitzroy Stars 2.

�ey had two losses and a draw in their previous three games and are second on the ladder.

“We still need to improve all over the court,” Stilsby said. “Sometimes we are making too many mistakes.”

She said a lack of height in the goal circle was something they struggled with at times.

But �nals beckon for a team that lost only one game on its way to its premiership last season.

“�ere’s not a lot of di�erence between the two grades,” Stilsby said. “I have not felt the di�erence in the levels too much.”

Diamond Creek continues to be the runaway leader in the top division with 12 wins from as many matches.

It’s three and a half games clear of second spot.

Pingers want success beyond �nals

By Tara Murray

Bundoora is ruing the one that got away a�er a one-point loss to Eltham in division 1 of the Northern Football League on Saturday.

A win would have put the Bulls a game clear in ��h position but they are now back in the pack in the race for a �nals spot – the 9.13 (67) - 9.12 (66) loss pushing them down from ��h to sixth.

Bulls football manager Daryl Richards said the loss could be a costly one.

“We needed that to put us into the top �ve with a bu�er,” he said. “Eltham now has a game on us and we’re equal on points with Lower Plenty.

“It will be a tough run home and a test of the side’s character.”

Richards said Saturday’s game was a disappointing result considering the side was at full strength apart from Ricky Dyson, who was out with a hamstring injury.

He said the �nal minutes proved costly.“�ere was lots of ebbs and �ows and the

lead changed a fair bit,” Richards said.“We were 10 or 11 points up with a couple of

minutes to go.“We tried to shut the game down and get

players behind the ball, but we couldn’t touch the ball.

“Eltham fought the game out and they have to be commended.”

Brent Marshall was the best for the Bulls, along with Matthew Dennis and Ned McKeown.

�e Bulls will have plenty of time to think about the loss, with the side having a bye this week.

“�ey need a freshen up,” Richards said. “But the last time we came o� the bye we were lethargic in the next game, so we’re hoping not to have a repeat of that.

“We’ll mix things up at training, look at more skills training and work on issues like turnovers and the way we bring the ball back in a�er opposition points.”

Lalor is now on top of the division 2 ladder a�er beating Hurstbridge 14.12 (96) - 10.11 (71).

A�er trailing at half-time, the Bloods kicked eight goals to three in the second half, with Todd Hughes grabbing �ve.

Scott Morrison was best-on-ground.�e win sees the Bloods two points ahead

of Hurstbridge and �omastown, which lost 17.17 (119) - 9.11 (65) against Fitzroy Stars.

Whittlesea is a further two points back a�er beating Mernda 22.16 (148) - 9.6 (60).

Andrew Fairchild kicked seven goals for the Eagles.

One point could end it all

Bundoora’s Matthew Dennis was one of his side’s best. (Damian Visentini)

Lions guarantee their place in �nals South Morang has ticked o� the �rst thing on its wishlist for the Northern Football League division 3 season.

�e Lions, who sit on top of the table a�er 14 rounds, are guaranteed a �nals spot a�er the 13.15 (93) - 12.7 (79) win over Banyule.

Only a goal separated the two sides for the �rst three quarters, before the Lions got on top.

Assistant coach Darren Steel said coaching moves in the second half helped to get the win.

“It was wet and slippery,” Steel said.“Craig [Lambert, senior coach] made a

couple of moves and that got us on top.“He got bigger bodies like Paul Harrison and

Luke Shelton into the middle and they were able to get the ball out.

“Shelton is a good player. Our captain [Mitchell] Buckley is another who stepped up.”

As well as having an impact in the middle of the ground, Harrison kicked three goals,

Shelton chipped in with two and Steel said Mike Meade was another to stand out.

“He played his �rst game for the club and went to Scott Gumbleton and did a good job,” he said.

“He has played with North Heidelberg and would have made his debut for us earlier but for missing a lot of training because of work commitments.

“He came back through the reserves and with injuries to [Brent] Howlett and [Mitchell] Hicks we needed a tall defender.”

Steel said the club was hopeful Howlett would return from a dislocated shoulder in time for �nals, while Hicks would be back in a couple of weeks.

“We found out last week, if you don’t play 100 per cent you‘ll be beaten so we have to keep focused.

“It’s an even competition and a better

standard than previous years, with the likes of Harrison and Gumbleton playing in the competition.”

With �nals in the bag, the Lions now have a couple more targets they’d like to tick o�.

“�e double chance is what we want now,” Steel said.

Beating Epping is another thing the Lions would like to tick o� a�er losing both games to them this season.

“We have done a bit of homework and, hopefully, we will get them,” Steel said.

�e Pingers, who had the bye at the weekend, are fourth on the ladder, six points behind the Lions.

Broncos primed for return to �nalsHume City Broncos look set to play �nals for the �rst time since 2010 in Big V state championship men’s basketball.

Before last weekend’s round, coach Lanard Copeland refused to talk about �nals until it was 100 per cent certain his side would be there, even though only a minor disaster would see them fall out of the top six.

�e Broncos’ 94-79 win over Bulleen Boomers on Saturday night puts them in ��h spot with three games le�.

Eltham would need to win its remaining three matches and the Broncos lose their last three for them to miss the �nals.

Finals are something Copeland is familiar with.

“I played for a long time with the Melbourne Tigers [in the NBL] and only missed playing �nals once,” he said.

“I’m used to the post-season, where some of the players aren’t.

“It is motivation for the players having not been there to make the �nals and win games.”

�e Broncos aren’t just happy with trying to sneak into the top six; they want fourth spot and home-court advantage in the �rst round of �nals.

�e last time the Broncos held home-court advantage for a best-of-three �nals was the 2004 grand �nal, which they won.

“We’re aiming for fourth spot and if we can win our remaining games and McKinnon drops a couple of games against the top sides we can �nish in that spot,” Copeland said.

“�e games we have le� are very winnable.”But Copeland said the side would have to

overcome its erratic form to clinch fourth place.

“If we’re serious that we want to play in big �nals we need to be focused every game,” he said.

Copeland said the experience of the team’s veteran players would come into play at this end of the season and he was using every opportunity to remind them that “every minute counts”.

Copeland said the range of shooters would be a vital component on the run home.

On Saturday night it was Lee Jeka who had the hot hand, shooting 34 points including seven three-pointers.

Copeland said �nals success would not come down to the best skills.

“Players need to use their smarts,” he said. “All teams are equal; it’s about them using their brains. We lost eight or nine straight last season as the boys weren’t thinking.”

While the Broncos will play �nals, the Pacers remain two games outside the top eight a�er losing to Eltham and McKinnon at the weekend.

�e Broncos women’s side su�ered a shock 57-49 loss to Bulleen in state championship on Saturday, its second loss for the season. Colleen Planeta and Samara Gallaher top -scored with 17 points each. Despite the loss, the Broncos remain on top of the ladder.

Four teams don’t �t into three �nals spots. It’s an equation Jacana is well aware of in division 2 of the Essendon District Football League.

Before Saturday’s round of matches, the teams from second through to ��h, including the Jaguars, were equal on points.

With Had�eld on top of the ladder, four games clear of the group, and the bottom three teams out of the �nals race, every win is vital for the Jaguars in the run home.

�ey gave their �nals hopes a boost on Saturday with a win over another �nals contender, Coburg Districts.

�e Jaguars were poor in the �rst half, before kicking 10 goals to three in the second to win 15.15 (105) - 9.8 (62).

Coach Aaron Collins said con�dence was high at the club a�er �ve wins in a row.

“Very happy to get the win,” he said. “It’s a con�dence booster and a game we targeted for a win.

“It’s the �rst time in nine years we’ve won �ve in a row and it shows how far we have come. �e reserves also look like playing �nals.”

Collins said it was pleasing to see the side step up in the second half against the Lions.

“A couple of home truths were told at half-time about where we want to go with the season,” he said.

“I’m not sure whether we were waiting for it to just happen in the �rst half but the workrate li�ed in the second and we started to attack the ball the way we normally would.”

Collins said some rotations and positional switches also helped.

“Chris Johnson moved into the mid�eld and we started to dominate the clearances and get the ball forward,” he said.

He said Beau Naim, Justin Cluney and Billy Morrison were other standouts.

�e Jaguars face Moonee Valley and Had�eld in the next two weeks.

“Basically every game is a �nal and we’ve been looking at it that way for the last three weeks,” Collins said.

“�ere’s a lot of pressure on us but we’re looking forward to the next two weeks.”

He said the side was aware percentage could count come the �nal round.

“�e defence is really strong and we’re getting fewer goals kicked against us,” he said. “We know we need to win games and win them well.”

Roxburgh Park, another side in the �nals race, beat East Sunbury 10.13 (73) - 6.10 (46).

In division 1, Craigieburn and Westmeadows got wins, while Tullamarine lost. Greenvale was among the winners in premier division.

Northern United just couldn’t hold a rampant Fawkner in FFV state league north 4 on Saturday.

With both teams coming o� a week’s rest, ladder leaders Fawkner took control at Anderson Park and led 3-1 at half-time before going on to win 6-2.

Damien Genovese scored a hat-trick for Fawkner, while Said Rhora and Robert Bazenski were on target for United.

Northern United remains in 10th spot.

Eleventh-placed Greenvale United shocked Plenty Valley Lions with a 2-2 draw to put itself a further point ahead of Meadow Park at the bottom.

Bundoora United beat Epping City 2-1, while Meadow Park lost 4-1 to Newmarket Phoenix.

In state league 2 north-west, there were contrasting results for Sporting Whittlesea and Hume United.

Sporting lost 3-0 to Essendon Royals to fall one place to fourth on the ladder.

Hume United is a further three points clear of the relegation zone with a 4-1 win against Melbourne University a�er leading 2-0 at half-time.

It is now seven points clear of the relegation zone.

In state league 3 north west, Up�eld remains in touch with the leaders a�er a 2-1 win over Geelong Rangers.

Lalor United lost 2-0 to ladder leader Hoppers Crossing, while Whittlesea United won 4-1 against Western Eagles to sit in fourth spot on the ladder.

La Trobe University lost 4-1 to Altona City.

Hume City’s hot form continued with an upset 3-0 win over top-of-the-table Bentleigh Greens in the National Premier League.

A goal to Jai Ingram in the second minute put City ahead early, and although the Greens gained momentum as the game progressed, City held �rm with goalkeeper Chris Old�eld making several important saves.

City got its second goal through a penalty at the 81st minute, before Nick Hegarty scored his second and his side’s third with almost the �nal kick.

City remains sixth on the ladder.In NPL 1, Whittlesea Ranges lost 3-0

to Sunshine George Cross.�e Georgies looked the better of

the two sides in the �rst half against a sluggish Ranges and led 2-0 a�er 30 minutes.

�e Ranges looked to create more opportunities in the second half but could not take advantage of the extra possession and the Georgies continued to control the game.
