Bulla residents have vowed to �ght a decision handed down by the state’s planning tribunal to extend the lifetime of the Bulla tip until 2023.

Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal members deliberated for more than three months before handing down their decision to allow the operators of the Bulla tip to continue to use the site as a private rubbish tip for another eight years.

�e �ve-day hearing in early March involved four separate appeals. Two land- owners sought independent action against the tip operator, BTQ Group.

A group of Bulla residents appealed against Hume council’s decision last April to grant BTQ Group a two-and-a-half-year extension of its planning permit.

�e permit was granted until December 31, 2016, to allow land�ll and rehabilitation works to be carried out.

BTQ Group also appealed against the council’s decision. �e land�ll operator had originally sought a 10-year extension, a�er having being granted a 20-year lease in 1993.

�e VCAT decision to extend BTQ Group’s permit until December 31, 2023, was based on the view that the land can accommodate more land�ll material.

“�is is valuable, not only to the company and the owner of the land, but also to the community in general. Land�ll capacity is a valuable asset,” VCAT said.

�e tribunal largely dismissed resident complaints as being irrelevant, saying “they really only served to confuse and obfuscate the issue”, and directed them to take their grievances to the magistrates or Supreme Court. In another slap in the face to Bulla residents, the tribunal acknowledged that Hume council had described the land�ll operators as “largely compliant” with permit conditions.

Alan McKenzie, who was born and raised in Bulla on a property that neighbours the tip, described BTQ Group as careless and said he was sick of the stench, dust and pollution that blows onto his paddocks.

“I think VCAT is a joke,” he said. “In the council and the EPA’s eyes, because we live on a farm, they think we’re able to withstand their dust and rubbish.”

His family grows wheat, barley and canola for human consumption on paddocks that adjoin the tip, which accepts asbestos, shredded tyres and building materials.

Mr McKenzie said that when the tip

Tip verdict rubbished

contaminated his crops, he received no form of compensation.

Carmel Egan, who lives near the tip and has become a spokeswoman for fed-up Bulla residents, said they will air their grievances in a submission to a state government inquiry into the EPA.

“We’ll prepare a submission about the EPA’s negligence and bring BTQ Group management to account,” Ms Egan said.

According to the EPA’s Damian Wells, BTQ Group was �ned more than $14,000 last year because of multiple breaches of Pollution Abatement Notices.

“EPA will continue to regulate this site as a priority licence compliance site,” he said.

An underground �re has been burning on the site since before BTQ Group took over the land. �e previous operators went into liquidation in 2008.

Attempts to extinguish the �re have failed.

Alan McKenzie, who lives next to the Bulla tip, believes VCAT is “a joke”. (Shawn Smits)

But Whittlesea mayor Ricky Kirkham said the council had committed more than $100,000 in the 2015-16 budget as ongoing funding to employ a family violence community safety o�cer. “Council also donated over $20,000 from our 2014 charity golf day to Salvation Army Crossroads, supporting its family violence initiatives,” he said.

For the past two years the project has been jointly funded by the Scanlon Foundation and the Victorian Women’s Trust.

Whittlesea Community Connections is among the nine agencies to deliver the program. Its chief executive o�cer and steering group

By Lexi Cottee

Whittlesea council has defended its decision not to fund a family violence project, citing its commitment to employ a family violence community safety o�cer and investment in other family violence programs.

�irty-one submissions were lodged with the council in response to its 2014-15 budget. Eight of those submissions related to the council’s decision not to allocate $20,000 to support an early-intervention family violence project.

�e money would have been used to continue funding small, one-o� grants to new

or established women’s groups that have been given training, access to information about their rights, legal information and support services, and been encouraged to connect with other local women.

�e eight submissions argued that the project, part of Whittlesea’s CALD Community Family Violence Project, had been tested, evaluated and led by a team of nine agencies that had been delivering the initiative over two years.

A submission from Zoe Sweett, of Kildonan UnitingCare’s Family Violence Intervention Program, said the project represented an excellent use of ratepayer funding.

chairman, Jemal Ahmet, said they approached Whittlesea council to fund the third round of the women’s support groups because the council had been so active in promoting the priority of tackling family violence.

He said the issue was too important for posturing and word-games. “Council has an obligation to show leadership in this area and, given its seriousness, to walk the walk and not just talk the talk,” Mr Ahmet said.

“�is was an opportunity for them to do that and they chose to pass it up.” Star Weeklyattempted to contact the Scanlan Foundation for comment.

Council defends funding refusal

Improved mobile phone coverage for Craigieburn is a step closer a�er Hume council approved a new 36.5-metre telecommunications tower.

�e council received eight objections and a petition with 120 signatures from residents concerned about the height of the tower and potential health implications, among other things.

Optus �rst submitted plans for a 35-metre tower in Highgate Recreation Reserve in November 2012. �e council approved plans but the tower was never built.

In December last year, the council received a request to amend Optus’s original permit to allow for a tower co-location with Vodafone.

�e telecommunication providers said their proposal minimised the need for more towers and would �ll a service gap at Craigieburn. But to the dismay of nearby residents, the amended plans increased the number of antennas and the height of the tower by 1.5 metres.

Highlands Community Residents Group president Stuart Hodgson said the group had abstained from taking sides on the issues because of internal divisions.

“From a residents group perspective, we understand people’s concerns about the tower, but we’re also aware that mobile reception is very poor, particularly near Mount Ridley” he said. “�e location is the least-worst option.”

�e tower will be built among the sports ovals’ �oodlight poles.

Council planner Chris Bryce said it would blend in with the light towers and not be such an eyesore.

Despite being born in Sri Lanka, the Silva family has quite an af�liation with Australia Day. On January 26, 2002, their son Noah was born. On that same day two years later, they welcomed a little girl, Nichelle, into the world. As it transpired the family relocated to Australia and �rst set foot on our shores on January 26, 2006. They quickly made their mark on their new home, Craigieburn. The kids’ dad, Roshan, started the All Saints Basketball Club with six players. Now the Craigieburn-based club has 16 teams and 170 members, and Roshan and his wife, Niroshani, are on the coaching team. Last week, Noah and Nichelle were awarded a total of $650 from Hume council as part of round two of the 2014-15 Sports Aid Grants program. The pair will use the money to purchase plane tickets to compete interstate. Nichelle, 11, says she plays the game “for fun”, while Noah, 13, who is in year 7 at St Monica’s College, loves it “because it’s a team sport” and he gets to play alongside his schoolmates.

�e legacy of the late Corporal Cameron Baird will live on in Hume a�er the council decided to name a community building in his honour.

�e pavilion at the Jack Ginifer Reserve will be named the Cameron Baird VC Pavilion in memory of the Gladstone Park-born and raised Australian Defence Force soldier who was killed during combat in Afghanistan two years ago.

Corporal Baird’s life-long best friend Christian Dyer was behind the naming proposal.

A few weeks a�er his best mate of almost 30 years died on the battle�eld, Mr Dyer emailed the council requesting that it honour Corporal Baird in a permanent way. He was thrilled the council had followed through with his request.

“It’s a great way to honour Cameron; he paid

the ultimate sacri�ce,” Mr Dyer said. “It’s very �tting. �at oval played a massive part in his life; we used to ride our bikes down there and he used to live just a few hundred metres away.”

Mr Dyer said his friend’s death in June 2013 felt like losing a brother. He has since helped set up ‘Cam’s Cause’ in his memory – an organisation that raises money for the families of Special Force Operations Command personnel a�er their death or serious injury.

�e organisation will cover the cost of new signage and a plaque at the pavilion.

A fundraising event will be held this Saturday from 6.30pm at the Keilor Hotel, 670 Old Calder Highway, Keilor.

More than half of all victims of family violence su�er physical and economic abuse at the hands of their partners, according to a community welfare organisation.

To address the issue, Kildonan Uniting Care in Epping convened a forum last week of representatives from utility providers, banks, telecommunications and debt collection companies to speak about innovative ways the issue is being addressed in Australia and abroad.

violence victims. Shortly a�er Jane’s daughter was born, her partner of more than �ve years started using ice. She said his drug use quickly spiralled out of control. Mood swings and violent behaviour became more frequent and vicious, and before long he stopped censoring his behaviour around their young daughter.

It wasn’t long before Jane began fearing for her life.

“He was very violent, I don’t even know where to start,” said Jane, who declined to reveal her name for fear of reprisal from her former partner.

Kildonan chief executive o�cer Stella Avramopoulos said an estimated 1.86 million Australians were experiencing “�nancial abuse” each year.

“In many cases abusive partners will refuse to contribute to household bills, transfer utility bills into the victim’s name leaving the victim to accrue substantial debts, or get the energy or water disconnected as a means to control, manipulate or punish their partner,” Ms Avramopoulos said.

Wollert resident Jane’s experience of physical and economic abuse is typical of many family

“He was earning enough but he wasn’t supporting us at all. He used all our savings to feed his drug habit and I was depending on bene�ts to pay the bills.”

On July 28 Kildonan, Hume council and energy infrastructure company Jemena are hosting a ‘bring your bills’ session to help people understand and manage their utility bills, learn about e�ciency and where to receive �nancial help.

It will be at the Broadmeadows Community Hub from 10am-4pm.

Money stress used by abusers

Accident data has identi�ed alcohol as a factor in almost a quarter of the deaths on Victorian roads in the past �ve years.

�is harrowing TAC statistic is one Des Malcolm hopes to change. His Tullamarine-based business manufactures machines that read a person’s blood-alcohol content, and he hopes eventually to have one in every licensed venue in the nation.

“When a blood-alcohol concentration limit of 0.05 was introduced in Victoria, nobody knew what 0.05 was,” Mr Malcolm said.

“Coming from a hotel background, I thought there was a need to help the public comply with the law. How do you determine how much is too much? It’s di�cult. �e consumption of alcohol is quite a complex science.”

Mr Malcolm started his business, named Breathometer a�er the machines he designed, about 30 years ago and has since had one installed in almost 400 licensed venues in

Victoria and another 100 around the rest of the nation.

He says he’s committed to saving lives and recently o�ered to install a machine free-of-charge in every Eastern District Football League club. As well, he spoke last week at a drug and alcohol forum at Tullamarine Football Club about the technology’s e�ectiveness.

�e wall-mounted units require users to blow 1.3 litres of air into them to read the mix of alcohol and oxygen. Mr Malcolm said the results were as accurate as blood tests.

�e company is preparing for a signi�cant hike in demand. Come August 1, strict new drink-driving laws come into e�ect. First-time drink-driving o�enders registering higher than 0.1 will have their car impounded, their licence cancelled for 10 months, and will face a �ne of more than $600, plus towing costs.

EMMA, 9

Transition auditors reviewing Sunbury’s separation from Hume have been urged to ensure security guards are present at a public meeting later this month.

�e call comes a�er the previous public meeting on the controversial subject led to �ery disputes between members of the public and a probe into the alleged misbehaviour of Sunbury-based councillors Jack Medcra� and Jack Ogilvie.

�e pair, who fronted two investigations, have complained that they were “ambushed” by agitators waving placards at last September’s meeting at Broadmeadows Town Hall. Fellow councillor Ann Potter has also said that people sought to intimidate her at the heated meeting.

Cr Medcra� last week said a strong security presence was needed to prevent a repeat of what happened last year.

Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie O’Farrell said the auditors should at least consider security requirements ahead of the meeting in Sunbury on July 24.

“Given what occurred a few months ago, you’ve perhaps got to take that into account.”

Sunbury Community Progress Association president Alison Cunningham said she did not believe security would be required.

In a statement, transition auditors John Watson and Frank Vincent said they did not expect a security or police presence would be needed.

�e meeting is at Sunbury Memorial Hall from 7pm on July 24.

Natasha Dusenjko found it di�cult to express how she felt when she �rst set foot in the ancient village of Dalj in Croatia, where her mother was born.

“It’s hard to talk about or put words to, but I felt an important connection,” she said.

In 2012, the Meadow Heights-born artist travelled to the small town by the Danube River, which is also home to some of the world’s most signi�cant collections of archaeological artefacts spanning the Neolithic era to the Roman Empire.

“In my artist practice, I’ve always been interested in archaeological remnants and artefacts,” Dusenjko said. “I wanted to see these artefacts … they conjure up another way of being and connecting with life, with the planet, with the stars.”

She stayed three weeks before returning home and setting to work on artworks that she exhibited at Brunswick’s Counihan Gallery last year.

New Forms, as the exhibition was called, used sonic distortion and photographic techniques to explore communication in the digital age.

Dusenjko now is exhibiting “part two”, a re�ection of her Croatia experience using video, sculpture, photography and drawings that navigate issues of identity, geography and displacement.

�e new exhibition, Fossa, opened last �ursday at the gallery in the Hume Global Learning Centre, Craigieburn and is on display until August 30.

CONSIDER THE SAUCE

Kenny Weir is the founder of Consider the Sauce, the de�nitive guide to eating in Melbourne’s western suburbs –www.considerthesauce.net

It is a wonderfully improvised approach that takes us to Footscray’s Croatian Club this chilly Friday night.

It’s the usual drill – get in the car and seek food with a handful of only vague locations rattling around in our minds.

We’ve enjoyed the food at Restaurant Katarina Zrinski several times, but it’s at least a couple of years since we visited.

It’s good to be back in this big, cheerful room. As expected on a Friday night, the place is almost fully booked – not full yet but working on it. But we’re early enough to snag one of the undressed tables, joining another pair of walk-in, non-Croatian types.

On previous visits here we’ve mostly loved the grills – things such as cevapcici and raznjici (grilled pork pieces), served with chips and utterly brilliant cabbage salad of the kind so o�en found in cuisines of eastern Europe.

Tonight, though, perhaps feeling the onset of winter in our bones, we go big on old-school Croatian comfort food.

But not before tucking into a massive bowl of girice ($11) as found on the specials blackboard.

“You have got to be joking!” proclaims my son Bennie as our whitebait arrives at the table.

In New Zealand, I grew up regularly eating whitebait of a much smaller kind, usually mixed in a gloopy batter and fried as fritters. �ese whitebait are di�erent – bigger, deep-fried, salty, crunchy and very �shy.

From there we head into much more familiar and heart-warming territory …

Mains here hover around $18 for smaller serves and $25 for larger portions – more if you’re inclined to seafood. But we’ve learnt from previous visits that the larger deals – especially the non-grill meals – are humongously big.

So we get smart by ordering $17.50 serves of sarma (cabbage rolls) and “gulas”. �is turns out, on top of the whitebait, to be just right for two moderately hungry boys.

�e cabbage rolls are both di�erent from any I’ve enjoyed before and as good as any I’ve eaten. �e point of di�erent comes from the �lling being less rice and more meat, in this case a tangy mix of pork and beef.

�e gulas is a stunner – and very generous for a so-called smaller serve. Atop gorgeously smooth mash, the beefy stew is rich and has heaps of tender meat. As far as I can tell, it’s cooked with not much more than onion and seasoned with little more than salt and pepper – sublime in its simplicity and packed with earthy soul.

Restaurant Katarina Zrinski is back on the radar. �e food is great, it’s a very family-friendly place and the service is �ne.

SPORTBundoora speeds up promotion pushA�er a better-than-expected start to the season, Bundoora United soccer club’s leadership group asked their coaches if they could have a crack at promotion. United are in the second year of a three-year plan, with the original aim of �nishing in the top four of state league 4 north this season in readiness for a tilt at promotion next year.

But United was in third place going into last weekend’s league-wide bye, only four points behind ladder leader Fawkner.

Coach Kaan Kalayci said the club was now pushing to secure promotion this year.

“Two weeks ago the leadership group came to the coaches and said ‘let’s have a crack at winning promotion this year’,” he said. “�ey said we weren’t far o� and could we bring in a

couple more players from a higher level to add to the squad. We got a couple and although our concern was there would be disruption, there hasn’t been.”

Kalayci said the three year plan was about more than just buying into the club’s aspirations.

“We’ve been meeting most of our internal KPI’s, like goals for and against,” he said. “[We spent] a lot of time learning football and also how to conduct ourselves on the �eld.

“It’s been about listening to instructions and setting professional standards. It was about buying into the processes and focusing on the game plan to launch next year.”

Kalayci said he was likely to have a full squad to pick from a�er the break.

“We have quite a bit of momentum, so the break didn’t necessarily come at the right time,” he said.

Kalayci says the �ght for top spot could come down to the wire.

“We play the top two sides in the last few games, so our destiny is in our own hands,” he said. “We play [��h-placed] Epping City this week and then teams which are well below us on the ladder.

“But wins are never bankable and we’ll take every game as it comes. If we stick to the processes we think we can win every game.

“�e feeling around the club is really high and full of energy.”

�e Whittlesea Pacers know their fate is in their own hands in the run home to �nals in Big V men’s state championship basketball.

�e Pacers sit two games outside the top six with three rounds remaining before �nals and have a game in hand over sixth-placed Bulleen.

Speaking before the weekend’s match, Pacers coach Ross Moll said his side most likely needed to win �ve of its �nal six matches.

“We have a tough run home,” Moll said. “Four might be enough for us but we need to beat one of the top two sides.”

�at task was made harder when the Pacers lost 82-78 to second-placed Corio on Sunday, meaning they would likely need to win all their remaining matches.

Michael Petridis top-scored with 25 points and also had seven rebounds.

Moll said the side needed to be more consistent.

“We have had players who have had good games and then the next week been down,” he said.

“We talk about it a lot at training … some of the younger guys don’t have a lot of experience at this level.”

He said the Pacers needed to keep putting themselves in positions to win games.

“We are focusing on what we have to do each week,” he said.

“We’ve been putting ourselves in positions to win games – we have to keep doing that and we have to believe that we can win them.

“Sometimes it’s not going to work but we’ve learnt from the losses and wins.”

Moll said that besides an injured Jason Dirkx, he had a full team to select from in the run home.

He is hoping his side will not be in the position of needing to beat the top side – Ringwood as it currently stands – in the �nal round to make �nals.

“I’d prefer not to be putting ourselves in that position,” he said.

In division 1 women, the Pacers had the bye at the weekend. �ey are on top of the ladder with four games remaining.

Pacers brace for a hard run to the �nish

Jacana remains in fourth position in the Victorian Women’s Football League west division despite a big loss to Bacchus Marsh on Sunday.

�e Cobras led from the outset and could have easily been further ahead but for poor kicking.

�e Jaguars were scoreless in the �nal quarter as they were beaten 9.22 (76) - 3.1 (19).

Katy Hunter kicked two for Jacana and Heather Limbrick was named the side’s best player.

�e Cobras and Jaguars are both on three wins for the season and are competing for fourth place.

South Morang had a massive win in division 4, beating Melbourne University 23.15 (153) - 0.0 (0). Amanda Laidlaw and Madysen Duncan kicked �ve each.

By Tara Murray

Craigieburn Eagles are hoping to �nish the season on a high, with several winnable games in the run home in Big V women’s basketball division 1.

On results alone it has been a disappointing year for the Eagles, but coach Rod Sweeney said this season was about more than that.

“It isn’t until you look at the stats that you see what we have achieved,” he said.

“Every player has improved from last year in all key statistics. Individual improvements have been huge.”

Sweeney said much of this season was about teaching the side to back themselves.

“It was always going to be a development year,” he said. “We want them to take

Eagles aim for big �nishownership of what is happening on the court. Some coaches make it so robotic [following plays].

“We lay the foundation plays in place and the girls are taught to take opportunities, get con�dence and take the open shots.

“�ey still fall back into habits of wanting to pass, as shooting wasn’t their role before.”

Sweeney said getting the youth girls some experience in the senior side would continue to be a big focus at the club.

“Jess Wain, Emma Pullen and Rebecca Hassall are three girls who have been playing really well in youth girls,” he said.

“�ey are ready to take the next step up.“Zoe Albon is only 17 but has done really well

in her 11 games in the senior team.”Sweeney said he was hopeful of getting a

couple of wins on the run home against other sides in the bottom half of the ladder.

On Saturday, the Eagles fell just short against Hawthorn, losing 59-58.

A�er scoring just four points in the second quarter, the Eagles bounced back impressively to trail by only one point at the three-quarter mark.

�ey went goal for goal in the last quarter but the Eagles were behind at the �nal whistle.

“�ese sides are in the same boat as we are,” Sweeney said.

“�ey’re having development years and want to get wins as well.

“We are moving in the right direction.”�e Eagles men’s side won 96-64 in division2.

�ey remain in top spot on the ladder ahead of Western Port on percentage.

Emma Pullen is ready to take the next step in Craigieburn’s senior team. (Shawn Smits)

Calder Cannons trailed by 27 points at three-quarter time but almost pulled o� a win in the TAC Cup match against Dandenong Stingrays on Saturday.

�e Cannons dragged the margin back to just seven points before going down 9.14 (68) - 9.7 (61) at RAMS Arena.

�e game could have been over in the �rst quarter if the Stingrays had have made the most of the wind, kicking 1.9 to 1.0.

It set the tone for the day, with the team kicking with the wind doing most of the scoring.

Mid�elder Tom Wallis and Harrison Rocke were best for the Cannons, while �omas Condon was the only multiple goalkicker with two.

In a positive for the Cannons, three more �rst-gamers pulled on the jumper – Aidan Tilley, Alex Barba and Matt King.

�e 10th-placed Cannons’ next match is against 15th-placed Western Jets at Burbank Oval on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Cannons’ Nick O’Kearney was named in the under-18 All Australian team following the national carnival.

He will be joined by Northern Knights captain Jade Gresham, who was named Vic Metro’s best player in the carnival.

On Saturday ,the Knights lost a thriller to the Murray Bushrangers, 12.7 (79) - 11.7 (73).

�e Knights led by eight points at three-quarter time but couldn’t hold on as the Bushrangers had six scoring shots to two.

Darcy MacPherson was best for the Knights.

Cannons fall just shortBig VHume City Broncos remain in �fth spot in Big V basketball men’s state championship despite losing to Waverley on Sunday. The Broncos matched it with the Falcons in the �rst half before being blown away in the second, losing 107-79. Broncos captain Jermaine Maybank top-scored for his side with 22 points, while Lee Jeka and Jamal Brown both had 19. The women’s match-up between the two sides produced a different result, with the Broncos winning 80-42 against an undermanned Falcons. Colleen Planeta starred with 19 points, 10 rebounds, four blocked shots and two steals for the Broncos. Meanwhile, Broncos women’s coach Katrina Hibbert and the youth women’s division 1 coach Glen Milner were named as Big V coaches of the month for their divisions.

VAFAOld Paradians continued their winning ways with a 37-point victory over Eltham Collegians in Victorian Amateur Football Association’s division 2 on Saturday.

James Kandilakis kicked four goals for the Paradians while Andrew Tulipano was best on ground. The Paradians are third on the ladder, two games behind leader Ivanhoe and one behind second-placed St Johns. In division 3, La Trobe University lost 10.7 (67) - 3.6 (24) against Power House.

Hume City is preparing itself for seven soccer games in 21 days in a period that will test the players physically and mentally.

Starting on Friday night, Hume will face four National Premier League matches, an FFA Cup match and a Dockerty Cup semi-�nal and potential �nal in the space of 21 days.

For coach Louie Acevski, the challenge is as much about preparing o� �eld as it is performing on it.

“It’ll be about recovery and making sure they are eating and sleeping properly,” he said.

“On the training track, there won’t be many sessions conditioning the guys. We’ll work through the plays and where the players need to position themselves.”

One bonus in the looming busy period is that Hume will play its FFA Cup match at home.

Hume is drawn to face Brisbane Strikers on July 29.

“We are just happy we are in the competition,” Acevski said. “We were happy to play anyone and anywhere.

“Playing at home will de�nitely be helpful from the aspect we have seven games in 21 days.

“It’ll be good for the club to play the game at home in front of our supporters and hopefully we’ll see a few neutral supporters down here, too.”

Acevski said it would be tough to win through to the �nal 16.

“�ey are a formidable team that is second in their league,” he said of Brisbane Strikers. “�ey have some good players and they used to play in the National Soccer League.”

In the Dockerty Cup, Hume has been drawn to play Oakleigh Cannons in the semi-�nals.

“We want to get to the grand �nal and we are taking it very seriously,” Acevski said. “Oakleigh has been a big improver in the second half of the season.”

On Friday night, Hume defeated Dandenong �under to stay ��h on the NPL ladder.

Acevski said his side should have been 4-0 or 5-0 up a�er the �rst 20 minutes such was the early dominance.

�e �nal score was 3-1, with Daniel Chabaani, Paul Harvey and Marcus Schroen the scorers for Hume.

In NPL 1, Whittlesea Ranges had a 3-0 win over Murray United.

�e win came a�er three successive losses.

�e Ranges are sixth on the ladder.

Tough draw will test Hume’s mettle

Eagles see Stars as unbeaten record fallsCraigieburn’s unbeaten run in the Essendon District Football League division 1 season came to a shuddering end at the hands of Essendon Doutta Stars on Saturday.

As in the �rst match between the two earlier in the season, the Stars �ew out of the blocks and led by 39 points at the main break.

And, also like last time, the Eagles came out fast in the third quarter and cut the margin with the �rst three goals of the quarter.

But from there the game took a di�erent direction to the early-season clash and the Stars kicked on to win 21.13 (139) - 11.5 (71).

�e Eagles’ loss was compounded by a series of injuries which le� them short on the bench. Among those was star forward Jason Cloke,

who was injured in the fourth quarter a�er kicking only one goal.

Ruckman Jeremy Page was best for the Eagles, while Cameron Cloke kicked four.

�e Stars are now just two points behind the Eagles on the ladder.

Tullamarine is third a�er victory against Taylors Lakes, 14.10 (94) - 10.9 (69).

Bouncing back a�er a disappointing performance against the Eagles, the Demons started slowly and trailed by 13 at quarter-time.

�ey turned that around to lead by a goal at half-time.

Westmeadows kept the pressure on the top four with victory over bottom-of-the-ladder Glenroy. A�er trailing by 21 at quarter-time, the Tigers won 15.13 (103) - 8.9 (57).

In premier division, Greenvale defeated West Coburg 14.14 (98) - 10.9 (69), Addam Maric kicking three in a best-on-ground performance.

In division 2, Roxburgh Park and Jacana had important big wins against Burnside Heights and Keilor Park respectively.

�e Magpies’ 138-point win and the Jaguars’ 111-point success are vital in the race to the �nals, with all teams from second to ��h on the same points.

Whittlesea knew �omastown would come out �ring a�er two successive losses, but the Eagles still couldn’t stop the early onslaught in Northern Football League division 2 on Saturday.

�e decisive �rst quarter saw the Bears lead by three goals even though the Eagles were kicking with a four-goal wind.

And it proved to be the di�erence, as the Bears went on to win 11.16 (82) - 9.19 (73).

Eagles coach Brad Dean said the Bears began the way he would have liked his side to start.

“We knew they’d be ready [to bounce back], especially with second spot on the ladder on the line,” he said.

“We kicked with a four-goal breeze in the �rst quarter and found ourselves down by three goals.

“�omastown were hard at the footy; they attacked the ball and ran hard. It set up the victory for them.”

Dean said he was happy with how his team responded a�er the �rst quarter, but they couldn’t pin back the lead against a good side.

“We worked hard to get back into the contest, but we were chasing their tail,” he said.

“In the last �ve minutes they put pressure and numbers behind the ball and we couldn’t get the goal needed to have a chance of winning.

“We had nine behinds in the last quarter and at least four or �ve were rushed.”

�e loss is the Eagles fourth for the year – all

have been by 15 points or fewer. �ere has also been one draw.

“�ere’s not a lot between the top �ve and if you are a little bit out you’ll get beaten,” Dean said.

“We’re around the mark and we’re probably where we should be [in fourth spot]. We’ve lost to �omastown [who is second] twice and Hurstbridge [who is top] once.

“Whoever �nds themselves in �nals will give themselves a chance of winning it.”

Lalor remains in third position a�er victory against Diamond Creek.

In division 1, Bundoora kept its �nals hopes alive with a win over North Heidelberg.

�e Bulls are sixth, just percentage behind ��h-placed Eltham.
