Everyone has followed the recent miracle Moorabool News

story of ‘Rove and Ralph’ – the two dogs reunited with their
family at Bacchus Marsh Pound – but time is ticking to get
your own pets registered with Moorabool Shire Council.
Every dog and cat aged three months or more in Moorabool
must be microchipped and registered with council, and all
existing Victorian pet registrations needs to be renewed by
Wednesday, 10 April.
Up-to-date registration can mean the difference between
a beloved lost pet being reunited with its owner – with
our very own reunion happening in Moorabool with Rove
and Ralph, originally from New South Wales, who were
reunited with their owners 200km from home.
“Registration not only helps get your pet home quickly
and easily if it is lost or goes wandering, but also helps pay
for all the domestic animal services run by Council,” said
Andy Gaze, Coordinator Community Health and Safety at
Moorabool Shire.
“In Moorabool Shire we provide not only a service to deal
with wandering animals, but we investigate complaints
regarding dangerous dogs, cruelty and barking as well as
providing cat traps and a pet adoption program,” said Mr
Gaze.
Pet registration is a legal requirement of the Domestic
Animals Act, and unregistered pets or outdated
registrations can see owners fined $322 or more.

Tip vouchers
dumped
Alleged
By Kate Taylor

The idea to give ratepayers a free tip

voucher in with their rates notices
has been dumped by council.
Voted on at the April 3 council
meeting, the proposal to allow
ratepayers a free cubic metre of
rubbish taken to a council transfer
station involved lengthy debate.
A report tabled at the meeting
recommended providing the
vouchers, however at a cost to be
passed on to all ratepayers.
Currently Council’s transfer stations
generate approximately 3,500 tonnes
of materials per financial year and
with that number set to rise with
vouchers, a waste management fee
of $25 would be applied by council
to cover the cost of dealing with the
increased amount of rubbish.
The report did also note that in
the neighbouring council area of
Melton, ratepayers are provided
with vouchers however only about
25 per cent of them are actually used.
Printing and distributing the
vouchers alone could have cost
council up to $5,000, which was
argued to have been offset by a
reduction in illegal dumping.
Councillors Dave Edwards, Tonia
Dudzik and Jarrod Bingham all
voted in favour of the vouchers.
“We spend over $380,000 picking
up dumped rubbish… rubbish is
dumped all the time, this won’t fix
all the problems, but it will reduce
the waste getting dumped,” Cr
Edwards argued.
“We have a clear problem with
rubbish dumping,” Cr Bingham
agreed.
“The community expects this
service, it will help reduce the
amount of rubbish dumped,” Cr
Dudzik also argued.
However, Cr Sullivan was the first
to object to passing the motion for
the vouchers, noting there was not
an opt-out clause even for owners of
vacant properties.
“I oppose this because it is a poor
outcome, it will encourage more
waste generation. We are trying
to reduce waste, and we would
blatantly be encouraging it,” Cr
Sullivan argued.
“It’s not the way we should be doing
this, it’s not forward thinking.”
“We do need a system where
some people can come in and get
a voucher, at their cost. But 75 per
cent of people would be paying for a
service they don’t want,” Cr Toohey
argued.
With councillors John Keogh, Pat
Toohey and Tom Sullivan voting
against the vouchers, the vote was
split and Mayor Paul Tatchell cast
the decider – against the motion and
the vouchers.
Councillor John Keogh proposed
a trial, however his amendment to
include it within the motion was
made after the vote, meaning that it
could not be considered as the item
had been already heard.
kidnapper
fronts court
By Meg Kennedy
A Darley man who allegedly imprisoned, assaulted
and repeatedly raped a woman he met online fronted
the Melbourne Magistrate’s Court last week.
Robert Wilson appeared emotionless in the dock,
dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans, as he appeared
before magistrate Johanna Metcalf.
The 32-year-old occasionally glanced around the
courtroom and barely spoke during his appearance.
Wilson is alleged to have met a 39-year-old Vietnam-
ese woman via an online dating app, and is accused
of keeping her captive in his Darley house between
March 25 and 29 of this year.
It is alleged he repeatedly raped and assaulted the
woman and asked her if she wanted “to die”.
Mr Wilson’s lawyer told the court the accused had
been taking medication for depression and anxiety
and requested medical treatment for a spine injury.
Magistrate Metcalf applied an interim intervention
order to Wilson, which included conditions that he
must not make contact or be within the same vicinity
as the alleged victim.
Wilson faces up to seven charges as of his court ap-
pearance, including three counts of rape, theft, reck-
lessly causing injury and unlawful imprisonment.
He is due to reappear in the Melbourne Magistrates
Court on 28 June and will remain in custody.

Jail for supermarket thief

By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)
Over one thousand dollars-worth of
goods stolen from various grocery
stores saw a man appear in the Bacchus
Marsh magistrates court on Friday
29 March, before Magistrate Gregory
Robinson.
Handcuffed and escorted by police,
Gregory Aitken heard the numerous
charges against him involving the theft
of meat, toothbrushes and multiple tins
of baby formula.
On 8 August 2017, it was alleged by
the prosecution, Senior Constable Lisa
Schoemaker, that the accused entered a
Sunbury Foodworks supermarket with
an empty shopping trolley and left
with $585.93 worth of meat.
“How much meat was there?”
Magistrate Robinson asked stunned.
“A lot,” Prosecutor Schoemaker
replied.
The prosecutor proceeded to tell the
court similar offences occurred on
19 December 2017, with the accused
allegedly stealing $176.75 worth of
meat from Coles supermarket in
Watergardens.
It was alleged Aitken stole six Oral B
toothbrushes, 20 tubes of Sensodyne
toothpaste and 25 tins of baby formula
from Foodworks supermarket in
Bacchus Marsh on 3 October 2018, the
items valued at $1141.20.
Aitken returned to the same
supermarket on 28 October 2018 and
allegedly stole a further 16 tins of baby
formula and four Oral B toothbrushes
valued at $720.68.
Aitken had already served 21-days in
custody prior to his hearing, Magistrate
Robinson sentenced him to a further
21-days imprisonment for the thefts.
A $5610 compensation payment
was also enforced by Magistrate
Robinson with Aitken to be placed on a
community corrections order upon his
release from prison.

Rescue in the Lerdy

Local firefighters rescued a man who fell off a cliff in the Lerderderg State Park near
Greendale, on the Labour Day long weekend, Monday 11 March.
CFA was called to the incident on the Ambler Lane Track just before 10.30am, with six CFA
crews from Ballan, Ballarat City and Blackwood on scene.
The man, believed to be in his 50s, was undertaking recreational activities on the track when
he fell 60 metres down a cliff.
CFA rescue crews worked alongside Ambulance Victoria to undertake a steep angle rope
rescue.
The injured man was placed on a stretcher and brought up to the track before being carried
to the closest road.
He was then transported by paramedics to an Ambulance helicopter who airlifted him to a
Melbourne hospital.
The man was believed to have received serious but non-life-threatening injuries, including
a broken arm

Drugs and
stolen goods
discovered
By Caitlin Bewley
(2nd Yr Swinburne Uni)

A search warrant for stolen goods saw police

attend a Darley man’s home, leading them to
stumble upon various marijuana plants.
46-year-old Trevor Lovett appeared before
Magistrate Gregory Robinson on Friday 29
March to face 10 charges including theft,
assault and cultivation of a narcotic plant
whilst on bail.
On November 1 last year, it was alleged by
the prosecution that a theft occurred in a
Darley home which was later reported to
police.
Prosecutor Senior Constable Lisa
Schoemaker told the court the items stolen
were a $2700 electric scooter, $130 mountain
bike and a $1200 bull bar.
A search warrant was granted on December
10 at the accused’s house in Jonathon Drive
Darley, and alleged the stolen items were
located in his backyard.
Upon finding the stolen items, police noticed
25 small green cannabis plants scattered
throughout Lovett’s backyard, along with
green plant substances in plastic tubs.
The prosecutor said when the accused was
interviewed by police, he told them he “didn’t
know they [the items] were there” and that
“people drop things off [to his house] at all
hours”.
The prosecutor also told the court the
accused “made full admissions to the
cultivation of narcotic plants” and that he had
been “tending to them for three months”.
Lovett was remanded on December 10, and
now been in custody a total of three months
and 19 days.
“He has not used drugs since being in
custody, he would like to engage in drug
treatment,” the accused’s lawyer said.
Lovett’s case was adjourned until April 12 for
an assessment for a community corrections
order. He remains in custody until this Authorised by the Australian Government, Canberra.

Fungi, more than just mushrooms

By Meg Kennedy

It may be crushed under our feet and not given a second

glance, but a local expert’s new book explores why fungi is
so vital to the global ecosystem.
Local environmental photographer and ecologist Alison
Pouliot studies fungi around the world, and her new book
‘The Allure of Fungi’ focuses on the various fungi of 12
countries – including Australia – presented in a series of text
chapters and photo essays.
Although she spends half the year in Switzerland “chasing
autumn” in the northern hemisphere, Ms Pouliot said the
local Wombat and Lerderderg forests of Moorabool have
“a great range of fungi that grow in the many and varied
habitat types of these environments.”
Moorabool is also home to what could be “Australia’s rarest
fungus”, the Auriscalpium ‘Blackwood’.
Ms Pouliot said the rare fungus has “only ever been found
growing on a single tree, a narrow-leaved peppermint
(Eucalyptus radiata), near Blackwood.”
“It was first found in 2005 and so far, has not been recorded
anywhere else,” she said.
‘The Allure of Fungi’ was launched recently in Daylesford
(pictured) and was attended by almost 100 people.
Ms Pouliot hopes attendees discovered that “fungi underpin
pretty much every terrestrial ecosystem on the planet.”
“Although fungi have been largely overshadowed by flora
and fauna in Australia…their vital ecological functions

By Meg Kennedy
In an age of social media and the declining
art of handwriting, a local primary school is
encouraging children to write on a regular
basis.
Pentland Primary School teacher Chris
Lowrey has introduced an initiative to
encourage students to “make writing cool”
alongside an ever-growing digital world.
Students are encouraged to document their
daily lives in their ‘writer’s notebooks’;
adding tokens from various moments in their
lives, including items such as photographs,
tickets and receipts, as to practice writing in
a creative way to express themselves.
The children are encouraged to write about
these moments not only to enhance their
writing skills, but as a keepsake for the
future.
“It’s a place for them to be able to write
things at home, if they’re lonely, or they don’t
have that much to do,” said Mr Lowrey.
And in an age of increasing reliance on
social media and text messaging, Mr Lowrey
wanted his students to hone the life-long
skills of writing and creative thinking.
“The kids are choosing to [write in their
notebooks] - not above playing video games
- but along with them,” he said.
The Pentland students in Grade 5 and 6
have written poems and stories ranging
from riding horses, to writing from the
perspective of a sports shoe.
Year 6 student Kira uses the book as an
outlet, as she says that “sometimes if there’s
a lot of drama at school it feels nice to be able
to write it down in your writer’s notebook,

Art ‘through her eyes’

By Meg Kennedy
A local art exhibition framing gender equality has been
extended for this month.
The ‘Through Her Eyes’ exhibit, currently held at
the Lerderderg Library, features artwork that seeks
to redress gender imbalance in art opportunities and
ensuring the visibility of women.
The exhibit, in partnership with Djerriwarrh Health
Services, is part of an International Women’s Day
campaign to showcase local female artists in the
community.
Djerriwarrh Health Services Chief Executive Officer
Belinda Scott said the exhibition “supports female
artists to authentically express themselves through art;
share who they are, their experiences and their hopes
and dreams with the local community.”
“Djerriwarrh Health Services supports this gender
equity initiative, seeking to empower women through
the arts,” said Ms Scott.
Featured artist Sandra Pelly believes it is important
to showcase the work of local women, saying there is
“a strong gender bias towards art that is made by male
artists, and not by women.”
“For me, art doesn’t have gender. I try to look at art not
from a gendered point of view, however I do raise a lot
of women’s issues that are around me,” she said.
As well as her own art, Ms Pelly is featured in the
exhibit as part of a photograph series by photographer
Carolynn Aldred.
The ‘Women of a Mission’ series demonstrates women
with power tools, who have been campaigning for a
‘Men’s Shed’ to include women and the rest community
for over a year.
“Those women in that photograph really want a
[Women’s Shed]…and it features very strong women
who love using power tools, so we really wanted to
show their strength and determination to break down
those walls,” said Ms Pelly.
‘Through Her Eyes’ is a free art exhibition on display
at the Lerderderg Library in Bacchus Marsh throughout
April.

Taking a strategic direction for Ballan

By Kate Taylor
The direction of Ballan’s future growth is set
to be put before a planning panel this May.
Councillors voted to have an independent
panel appointed to hear concerns from
residents which have not yet been able to be
resolved.
Ballan Strategic Directions is a document
guiding future growth of the town and was
adopted by council back in 2017.
It now has to be included within the
Moorabool Planning Scheme to become
official and is known as Amendment C88.
C88 was recently put out for public comment
and council received 39 submissions,
including 35 submissions which either object
or call for changes to the Amendment.
Key issues raised in the submissions
included the appropriateness of
neighbourhood residential zones as well as
proposed minimal lot sizes, the adequacy
of residential land supply and whether
the southern growth precinct should be
prioritised above the western growth
precinct.
Resident Concetta McFall, an objector,
addressed the March 6 council meeting.
“What I advocate for is timely growth; and
enhancing the well-being of citizens - bad
planning choices cannot be fixed once they
are implemented,” she told the meeting.
“Planned expansion should be south of
the railway line – and council has chosen to
ignore the collective view… I only want the
best for Ballan.”
The amendment will update local policy
and the Ballan Framework Plan, also giving
the Ballan Strategic Directions document
more statutory weight.
Ballan’s population is set to increase to
approximately 5,910 residents by 2041 from
the 2016 population of 2,985 and although the
BSD does identify future residential growth
areas, it does not rezone any land deemed
to be a growth area – council expects that
these areas would be rezoned in the future
via developer and land owner-initiated
amendments.
The process of councillors voting to approve
putting the amendment to a planning panel
was a complicated one.
Woodlands Ward Councillor Pat Toohey
moved to pass the motion for the panel with
an additional requirement that a future
report be prepared on appropriate residential
living zoned land in and around Ballan, but
it failed to be seconded.
East Ward Councillor Jarrod Bingham
proposed deferring the vote as he felt more
community consultation was needed – but
again it also was not seconded.
East Ward Councillor Tonia Dudzik
proposed moving the motion without the
clause giving council officers the power to
negotiate changes to the minimal lot sizes
in residential zones during the course of the
panel hearing – which was seconded by Cr
Toohey, once Cr Dudzik had agreed to also
include Cr Toohey’s request for the future
report.
“Since 2012 this has been going on. People
have been waiting and waiting. I think it
needs to move forward, it’s been stationary
for so long. There’s been a lot of hard work
putting it together and at some stage we do
need to do something and move forward,”
Cr Dudzik argued during the debate.
“I don’t accept that,” Cr Bingham responded.
“Just because it has been going on for seven
years doesn’t mean it should go through.
I respect the hours that have been put into
the documentation as important as this,
and even if there is one objection, I want
that solved, another couple of months won’t
hurt.”
Cr Toohey disagreed.
“It’s time we carried out the obligation and
that is to make a decision. It is our job now
to put in place a process, which officers have
adequately done, and go to a panel … for
people to have their say,” he said.
West Ward Councillor Tom Sullivan did not
vote as he excused himself due to a conflict
of interest and East Ward Councillor Dave
Edwards was not at the meeting.

around major towns and the
Budget allocation for more
spending in this area will
accelerate the real estate ap-
peal of Victoria’s regional
areas.
The REIV welcomes the
funding boost for training,
together with the 10 new
training hubs in regional
areas. Real estate agents in
country towns are often a
pivotal cog in their com-
munities and we intend to
work closely with the Fed-
eral Government to ensure
that regional agents can ac-
cess these training funds to
assist young people to get a
great start in their real estate
careers.
We welcome the Budget’s
projected surplus position
in the forward estimates and
personal income tax cuts for
94 per cent of Australians
which will mean people
have additional disposable
income.
The REIV acknowledges the
Federal Government’s inten-
tion to continue with current
negative gearing arrange-
ments; a sound decision in
the context of low property
market confidence.
This Budget also deals with
tough issues in our com-
munities where real estate
professionals are often in the
frontline dealing with the
implications. We welcome
the increased funding for
addressing domestic vio-
lence, youth mental health
and suicide prevention.
Next month the REIV will
commence training for real
estate professionals on deal-
ing with instances of family
violence to better equip our
members on this important
issue.

The former Bendigo Pioneer

who has impressed Scotland
in his three warm up games
ahead of Round 1 is more
than happy to guide the
youngster through the next
phase of his footy journey.
“Bailey’s an exciting pros-

The 185cm dasher is no
stranger to senior football
nonetheless having debuted
as a 16-year old with Ton-
gala before a third place in
the clubs best and fairest in
his second year. Waasdorp’s
form warranted TAC Cup
attention culminating in a
full 2018 season with the
Bendigo Pioneers.
Waasdorp is just one player
of a large contingent of
youth at the Devils den that
coach Scotland hopes can
make a difference.
“Just how much impact our
young blokes can have this
year will be super important
for us,” he said.

Darley will be the beneficiaries of new
recruit Casey Young’s services for 2019 on
the back of his love for AFL club Carlton.
“I’m a Blues man,” he said.
“I was umming and aarhing over a few clubs
in Geelong and Melbourne but couldn’t pass
up on the alluring invitation to play with,
and under Nick Graham and Heath Scotland
at Darley.”
Devils playing coach Heath Scotland who
that was essentially void at the club last year
given their leading goalkicker, Harley Inglis,
finished with 19.
Young played in just one of the clubs
three practice matches but saw enough to
acknowledge he will enjoy his footy with
Darley.
“I was happy first up,” he said.
“The systems and structures we have in
place are clear which makes it easier for a
bloke in my position.”

Sure, 2019 deserves a clean slate but there
are two lingering statistics that can’t be
ignored when Darley hosts Sunbury in the
season opener at Darley Park.
The Devils are on an 8-0 winning run at
home, currently the longest of any club in the
With the Devils’ losing Steven Kennedy,
Dylan Reid, Dan Roy, Rhys Ellis, Luke
Delahey and Abe Kur in the ‘off’, and Brian
Graham sidelined (two-week suspension)

Scotland will be hoping his replacement
army and developing youth can deliver
on the pressure front to contain Sunbury’s
expectation on the track at all times,” he said.
“Everyone who joins a new club wants to
have an impact,”
“It’s made easier at a club led by someone
who strives for success.”
The 24-year old joins the Devils from Old
Scotch in the Northern Tasmanian Football
Association after his relocation to the
mainland as a primary school teacher.
At 195cm, Casey will be a welcomed target
up forward for the Devils, adopting a role
he’ll have an important role to play.”
While the well-spoken Young has enjoyed
his fair share of time in representative teams
throughout his junior career in the NTFA, it
was his State League Grand Final appearance
for the Western Storm against North
Launceston that has been the highlight.
“There must have been 3000-4000 people
there,” he said.
Memo: Casey, you can expect that at a
Darley v Bacchus Marsh game!

Kur leaves Devils

BFNL (East Point 6, Melton 5) while Sunbury
remain 0-7 on the road. Come Saturday,
Darley will have not lost a home game for
350 days, ironically it will be the last time the
Lions enjoyed away success.
Darley could well be this seasons’ ‘quiet
assassins’, on the rebound from an injury
affected 2018, while the jury remains out on
Sunbury under new coach Travis Hodgson.
Even Hodgson has his own demons to
overcome, having lost his last five encounters
against Heath Scotland’s Devils, dating as
far back as the 2017 finals series during his
tenure at Bacchus Marsh. Furthermore,
the Devils boast a 15-3 home record under
Scotland.
Sunbury’s midfield will be bolstered
with the full time return of VFL players
Mitch Conn (Coburg) and Lachie Bramble
(Williamstown) while the Devils have
secured arguably the best resume on paper,
former Carlton listed player Nick Graham,
brother of talented midfielder Brian.
dangerous midfield brigade.
The Lions must be the ‘hunters’ and win the
midfield battle to be any chance of stealing
the points - and that includes minimising the
influence of Nick Graham (good luck!). Their
offseason acquisitions have been positive,
with Daylan Kempster, Dylan Featon and
the Brennan brothers all likely to take their
place in the side, joining the welcomed
return of key forward Jack Sheahan. The
bookends for the Lions look complete with
youngster Luke Goater down back but I’m
not as confident as others they are ‘a given’
for this year’s finals with their tough draw
ahead, let alone overcoming the Devils first
up on Darley Park.
The hype of Round 1 and the expectation
that comes with Darley in its centenary year
will continue to challenge, week in, week
out. I’m not convinced, at least for now, that
Sunbury will upset their party.
*Darley v Sunbury on Saturday 13 April at
Darley Park, 2pm.
By Todd Whelan
Wantaway Darley Premiership utility Abe
Kur will be cleared to St Albans by weeks
end.
Kur’s absence at the Devils den has been an
unknown quantity until now, given he was
a required player and earmarked for the all-
important ruck role in the absence of Dylan
Reid.
The Devils have been left high and dry in
this instance by the enigmatic Kur, who has
basically turned his back on a club that his
given him nothing short of their full support
during his time at the club.
Kur’s erratic on-field behaviours have, at
times, compromised the external perception
of the Devils culture with well publicised
visits to the tribunal, that remain an
unenviable burden on the club in its 100th
year.
Darley coach Heath Scotland could not
categorically deny the exit of Kur is in the
best interests of the club.
“It’s disappointing it has to end this way,”
he said.
“Many people at the club have invested a lot
of care and support for Abe over his journey.
“It’s a shame their efforts have fallen on deaf
ears.
“I’d be lying if I didn’t acknowledge it wasn’t
a distraction on the playing group,” Scotland
said.
Given Kur has been relatively unsighted
over summer, the Devils have carried on,
business as usual.
Darley will meet Sunbury at Darley Park in
Round 1 next Saturday April 13.

Bacchus Marsh Cobras

Season Preview
Cobras secure key signings
By Todd Whelan
The Bacchus Marsh Football Club has made
a lasting impression on new recruit Jake
DeWinter.
“The boys have been great,” he said.
“I couldn’t be more comfortable in such a
small amount of time.
“I’m really excited about the season ahead.”
The 26-year old booted four goals (three
behinds) in his debut practice match against
Craigieburn in terrible conditions back on
March 30.
“Those conditions were an eye opener for
me that’s for sure,” the former Queenslander
said.
DeWinter joins the Cobras from QAFL club
the Western Magpies who finished sixth last
year, just missing the finals on percentage.
Playing most of 2018 forward, DeWinter
booted 44 goals in 13 games to win the clubs
goalkicking award for a second consecutive
season.
“It was pretty hard to get a gig in the mid-
field with Ryan Harwood (ex-Brisbane) and
Anthony Corrie (ex-Brisbane/Collingwood)
in the side,” he said.
“I’m more of a mid who rests forward than
the other way, but I’m happy to play where
(region) State rep teams in 2015 and 2016 and
more recently, the Queensland State team in
2017 in which he was unavailable.
The DeWinter signing for the Cobras is some
welcomed news for the club on the back of
losing up to nine players in the offseason.
A carpenter by trade, Jake has been able to
secure work with a major sponsor that has
helped make his move from Queensland a
smooth one.
“The club has been more than accommodat-
ing,” he said.
“They’ve gone over and above any of my
expectations.
“I’m very impressed.”
Joining Jake at Cobra-land is former West-
ern Magpies teammate Brodie Easton. The
24-year old Personal Trainer was going to
have a year off footy following his recent
move to Melbourne at the end of 2018.
“Brodie is very fit,” DeWinter said.
“He could hardly train last year because of
work and was happy playing twos (in best
six out of nine games + five senior games),”
“He would have been a walk-up start in the
ones if he could train,” he said.
Easton is a 180cm, 80kg midfelder who has

the club needs me,” he said.
“If they want me to kick goals, I’ll kick
goals...if they want me to go through the
midfield, I’ll do it.”
DeWinter’s stand out performance last year
was a 10-goal haul against QAFL finalists
Surfers Paradise.
The new Cobra has obvious pace, plays tall
(QAFL Mark of the Year 2018) and has good
ball skills, both by foot and clean hands
below his knees. Jake managed two games
with the Gold Coast reserves in his earlier
days before his selection in the Queensland
his defensive pressure and ferocious tack-
ling. DeWinter is obviously excited about
reuniting with his old Magpies’ buddy.
“The thought of Brodie streaming out of
the middle in my direction....now I like the
sound of that,” he said.
“He’s got a deadly left foot.”
The late preseason signatures to the Cobras
sees them well and truly back in the mix for
September conversation.
Bacchus Marsh have a tough assignment
first up on the road when they meet North
Ballarat this Saturday.

Cobras crunch month ahead

By Todd Whelan
Bacchus Marsh face the
toughest test of all BFNL
clubs in their opening three
rounds against North Bal-
larat City (away), Darley
(away) and last year’s Grand
Finalists Melton (home).
The Cobras outlook for 2019
looks considerably brighter
on the back of recent key
signings Tom Brownbridge
(Irymple, Sunraysia) Jake De
Winter and Brodie Easton
(Western Magpies, QAFL)
following a mass exit of up
to nine players from last
year.
New Coach Davey refuses
to waste any time on the
‘what ifs’, instead opting for
the reality of the moment,
the now.
Davey brings a fresh voice
to a hardened group that
has responded well to his
demands of an intense ‘run-
ning brand’ of football.
Jake Owen (joint captain)
and Aaron WIllets will be
the keys forward again for
the Cobras while De Winter
is the unknown quantity
- his rap sheet spells dan-
ger for any unassuming
opposition.
The trip to North Ballarat
City will not be easy, it never
is. The Cobras will be hoping
to reverse a nail-biting loss
from their last meet to kick-
start their season. Questions
will be asked of the Cobras
who could well be 0-3 after
three rounds if they don’t
bring their A-game.
The weight of impact, los-
ing Sherlock, Speight, Ang-
win, Del Papa, Bolton, Foley,
Blundell, Bishop and Trows-
dale over the summer will
be known very early as the
Cobras aim to match it with
last year’s 4th, 3rd and 2nd
placegetters.
Newcomer Tom Brown-
bridge, a former interleague
representative with Sunray-
sia will debut for his new
club and fill the void in de-
fence left by Trent Angwin
who has joined Darley. The
mail on ‘Browny’ is over-
whelming - he ‘CAN’ play!
The Cobras will be hoping
their young guns can take
the next step with opportu-
nity at a four-year high.
North City on the other
hand have lost the Dunstan
brothers and Marcus Dar-
mody. Coach Shane Skontra
is excited about his group’s
prospects in his second sea-
son at the helm and believes
they are ready to challenge.
again. The club boasts one of
the more damaging spines

former Adelaide Crow draft-
ee Will Young - and they
will be needing every bit of
them on Saturday to combat
reigning Henderson Medal-
ist Daniel Burton, Owen,
Willets and the new guns on
the block.
While the Cobras beat
North City at Maddingly
Park back in Round 3 last
year by 93-points - that
feels like a decade ago. The
Marsh must start well, and
belief within the new group
crucial, if they are to be any
chance of toppling North
City first up on the road.
The draw softens up for the
Cobras after Round 3, a win
or even two from these will
be a bonus come the pointy
end of the season.

The former Irymple captain
was impressed and noted
plenty of upside for his new
teammates, following his
first hit out with the club in
the March 30 practice match
win over Craigieburn.
“The boys played well
down back,” he said.
“There’s a heap of room to
improve on that as well,” he
said.
