Eyes �xed on the main game

By Alexandra Laskie

Hot weather and below average rainfall in October has prompted the Country Fire Authority to start the �re danger period earlier this year.

Fire restrictions were declared on Monday for the six local councils that make up the CFA’s north west region, including Whittlesea and Hume.

�e Bureau of Meteorology recorded last month as the seventh-driest October on record.

Fire season hits earlyA prolonged heatwave at the beginning of the month set early season temperature records, with 13 BOM weather stations in Victoria observing the warmest October days on record.

CFA District 14 operations manager Trevor Roberts said the CFA would take a zero tolerance approach to any �res caused by negligent behaviour this season.

“Out of control burn-o�s and unregistered burn-o�s have been a major headache for brigades,” he said. “Even if you have a permit to use �re over the �re danger period, make

sure you read the conditions carefully. Failing to follow just one of those conditions can still leave you open to prosecution.”

Whittlesea municipal �re prevention o�cer David Foster said council sta� were in the process of assessing properties to make sure grass and scrub had been cut and cleared. He said notices had been issued to owners who needed to act, giving them 16 days to comply.

“Some people only visit their vacant blocks once or twice a year, and that’s just not good enough,” Mr Foster said.

He said prolonged dry spells have killed o� almost 80 per cent of grass in the area and despite recent heavy rains: “It’s very dry underneath”.

A written permit is required to burn o� grass, undergrowth, weeds or other vegetation. Lighting a �re in the open without a permit is an o�ence and can incur a penalty of more than $18,000 or 12 months imprisonment, or both. Information is at cfa.vic.gov.au/can or call 1800 240 667. Register burn-o�s on the VicFire Burn-o� noti�cation line: 1800 668 511.

A booze hound has used a stolen four-wheel-drive to smash his way into an Epping supermarket and steal 10 bottles of American whiskey.

�e low-slung thief struggled to keep his tracksuit pants on as he raided the McDonalds Road IGA about 2.20am on November 1.

He used a stolen Toyota Kluger to ram raid his way inside the family-owned supermarket. He reversed the navy car through automatic doors, pushing back a register inside the grocery shop and causing extensive damage, before jumping out of the car and beelining for the liquor cabinets.

Closed circuit footage shows him kicking in glass cabinets and grabbing a handful of carefully selected bottles. He made three trips to and from the car before driving o� with his loot.

Supermarket co-owner Capri Parmar said the thief stole between $900 and $1000 of Jim Beam, Wild Turkey and Jack Daniels.

He described the scene when he arrived at the supermarket that morning as “chaotic”.

“�e front door was smashed in, everything had come down, the registers had been pushed back… there was extensive damage,” Mr Parmar said.

All up, Mr Parmar estimated damage of about $35,000 has been caused.

�e o�ender was wearing a black T-shirt, black tracksuit pants, runners, a grey cap and a black cloth covering his face.

Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000.

Ram raid is a bit whiskey

Councillor Stevan Kozmevski was sworn in as Whittlesea’s new mayor at a special meeting of councillors last Wednesday.

�e south west ward councillor will serve out his second mayoral term until October next year, when local council elections are held.

In his acceptance speech the councillor of 18 years said he would strive to upgrade infrastructure and roads.

He singled out a number of projects he considered high up on his list of priorities, including the extension of Edgars Road from

Cooper Street to the Aurora estate and a new interchange connecting O’Herns Road and the Hume Freeway.

�e payroll administrator for Metro Trains spoke about the need for the state and federal governments to deliver transport and vital infrastructure in new communities before they were allowed to grow.

“Our communities in the growth corridor, what transport choices do they have?

“Have they got the public transport that is needed?Governments have failed to provide the

choices that are required. Infrastructure must be provided �rst.”

Councillor Norm Kelly will serve as Cr Kozmevski’s deputy. He was also deputy mayor for the 2014-15 year under Cr Ricky Kirkham.

Cr Kozmevski was nominated by outgoing mayor Cr Kirkham and was backed by councillors Mary Lalios, Norm Kelly, Ken Harris and Darryl Sinclair. Councillors Rex Gri�n and Christine Stowe also voted for him.

Stoush over crossing removalBy Alexandra Laskie

�e Camp Road level crossing will remain on the state government’s priority list for removal, despite a VicRoads report deeming it “not critical”.

�e Campbell�eld level crossing is on the state government’s top 50 list of crossings to be removed.

A VicRoads report on the timing of level crossing removals has prioritised the removals based on state planning strategies, congestion, cost and safety. �e June, 2014, report was released as part of an inquiry into the state

government’s proposed long-term lease of the Port of Melbourne. �e proceeds of the lease are expected to pay for the crossing removals.

Metropolitan Melbourne has 245 level crossings. �e report details the road capacity, tra�c volume, number of peak hour trains and boom-time closure of every level crossing and has identi�ed 19 of the most congested.

Only nine of those 19 are on the state government’s list for removal.

Many of the crossings are given a priority ranking of high, medium or low but most are not given any priority. �e Camp Road crossing falls within this category.

Based on train and tra�c volumes in 2013, there were 10 two-way trains and boom gates were down for seven per cent of the time for week-day peak hour tra�c at Camp Road. �e Madden Grove, Burnley level crossing – which is not part of the state government’s program – had 24 two-way trains and boom gates were down 29 per cent of the time during peak times.

�e report stated: “level crossings on arterial roads with boom-gate closure times below 25 per cent during peak hours are not considered critical for removal”.

Independent transport consultant Chris Hale said the state government had a responsibility

to justify the inclusion of each and every level crossing on its program.

“�ey need to demonstrate on what basis they’ve prioritised expenditure,” he said.

“It could be something we don’t know about Camp Road. If it turns out that Camp Road should be prioritised then that’s OK, but it’s about transparency, openness and respect for taxpayers.”

A spokesman for Transport Minister Jacinta Allan, Kosta Pandos, said the Labor Party went to last year’s election with a clear list of 50 dangerous and congested level crossings it would remove..

Now that the AFL Grand Final and Melbourne Cup are behind us, Melbourne has entered into the grip of cricket fever.

�ere are more than 1400 Whittlesea residents involved in the sport on a local level, with almost 40 per cent being junior players.

But the council wants more children involved – particularly refugee, asylum seeker and disabled children – in the sport cherished by so many Australians since childhood.

To make it easier for parents, the council has partnered with Cricket Victoria to o�er subsidised cricket memberships.

South Morang Cricket Club is one of 10 cricket clubs in the municipality to sign up to the initiative.

Club president Dave Watson said he wants to support more kids in the game.

“All kids should have an opportunity to participate in sport and recreation regardless of their �nancial circumstances,” Mr Watson said.

�e Connect2Cricket program o�ers a $100 discount for children playing in MILO in2CRICKET, MILO T20Blast and junior cricket for the �rst time. Boys and girls aged between �ve and 12 years from Indigenous, refugee, migrant, asylum seeker backgrounds and people with a disability are encouraged to apply for support.

�e program is open to all cricket clubs in the Whittlesea council area. For more information contact 9404 8837 or [email protected].

An Epping-based emergency relief agency has released a report revealing many Whittlesea families spend so much on housing they are unable to pay for essentials, such as food and bills.

Whittlesea Community Connections’ latest Emergency Relief Survey Report, published last week, comes just a week a�er Whittlesea council announced it would stop wholly subsidising the service provider’s rent and utilities from July next year.

their needs for other essentials,” the report states.

“It tells of the disproportionate burden of poverty placed on women, particularly women who are single heads of households.

“�e survey also tells of the enormous gap between demand for support and the capacity to respond to that demand.”

WCC chief executive Jemal Ahmet said the diminished council support would force the agency to divert money away from vital programs and services, including emergency relief.

A spokeswoman from WCC said councillors had voted to break a longstanding arrangement that recognised the agency as a not-for-pro�t resource, and will impose costs that threaten its ability to pay for essential services.

�e new report shows that, in the past four years, WCC has provided emergency relief on 7064 occasions, and assisted a further 676 clients, including more than 2549 individual casework sessions.

“�e evidence gathered tells a worrying tale of individuals and families who spend so much on housing that they are then unable to meet

As of July next year, WCC will be required to pay half of the rent for its premise at Epping Plaza, as well as cleaning costs and utility bills.

�e agency estimates it will be forced to fork out $17,500 in 2016-17, $35,000 the following year and more than $52,500 in 2018-19.

Former mayor Ricky Kirkham defended the move, saying the council had to be fair and equitable to all community organisations.

“Council will continue to provide considerable rental support to WCC and will phase in a 50:50 shared rental payment arrangement over the next three years.”

Relief service stung by cost hike

A new northern suburbs-based recycling business has coined a new ailment. Brite Sparks’ managing director Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald said “Cupboard Procrastination Syndrome” a�ects thousands of people who collect broken or unwanted appliances.

“�ey feel weird about throwing away a broken appliance, but they don’t know what they should do,” she said. “So they hide it in a cupboard until they can’t wait any longer and it goes in the rubbish bin. Unfortunately, most small appliances do �t in the rubbish bin and the problem is quickly out of sight, out of mind.”

Brite Sparks was set up three months ago to give households a chance to recycle those unwanted small electrical goods such as lamps, power tools and toasters so they don’t end up in land�ll.

To coincide with National Recycling Week

this week, the not-for-pro�t, social enterprise is setting-up temporary recycling bins at four locations in Whittlesea.

�e donation bins – at the Whittlesea Works Depot in Epping, Galada Community Centre, Mill Park library and Whittlesea Civic Centre in South Morang – will accept small kitchen and household items that will then be reused, repaired or recycled.

Ms Lewis-Fitzgerald said about 40 per cent of donations they receive are in working order. �ese appliances are then tested for function and safety and either sold back to the public or donated to people in need.

Residents can donate up to three items. Larger quantities and bulky small appliances such as microwaves and vacuum cleaners will need to be taken to Bright Sparks HQ, 1 Walter Street, Had�eld.

Park plans cut short

Parks and open space project of�cer Alan Harrison surveys the now treeless location. (Joe Mastroianni)

�ousands of dollars worth of saplings planted in an Epping park have been destroyed.

�e 22 eucalyptus trees, planted late last year in Winchester Park, were snapped at their bases or severely damaged in the past two months.

Whittlesea council parks and open space project o�cer Alan Harrison said the trees, valued about $4500, had been planted as part of the park’s $500,000 upgrade.

�e saplings had been planted near the new playground to provide shade.

“It’s disappointing when vandalism like this occurs,” he said. “It means the council has to spend additional funds to replace trees.”

Whittlesea crime prevention o�cer Sandra O’Connor said this sort of behaviour o�en went unreported.

“We encourage the public to report these sorts of incidents because these are community assets,” Leading Senior Constable O’Connor said. “We encourage the public to report any suspicious behaviour.”

�e cost of building family-friendly apartments in Melbourne’s inner and middle ring suburbs is pushing young families to buy houses in Hume and Whittlesea.

A new report from the Australian Population Research Institute on the housing a�ordability crisis in Melbourne and Sydney argues that the cost of building high density residential complexes is so great developers can’t build suitable apartments for young families at an a�ordable price.

“�e outcome is that most households looking for an a�ordable family-friendly dwelling have had to move to the outer suburbs or new estates on the fringe.

“�ey can still �nd detached housing in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, like Frankston and Hume for around $400,000. �ey can also purchase a detached house for around $300,000 on fringe estates, if they are willing to accept a small 150-square metre house on a sub-400 square metre block.”

Samantha and John Cacchione were the �rst residents to move into Merri�eld Estate, one of

According to the institute’s research, an 80-square metre apartment in a �ve-storey block costs between $7000 and $8000 per square metre to get to market.

“�is means a [purchase] price of at least $600,000. Few young households can a�ord this,” the report states. “As a result, hardly any family-friendly apartments are being built in either Sydney or Melbourne.”

Report authors Bob Birrell and David McCloskey said this has led to a glut of small apartments and a shortage of a�ordable, detached housing big enough to raise a family.

the largest residential developments, currently under construction in Mickleham.

Mrs Cacchione, whose �rst child is three months old, said the couple moved to Mickleham from Epping for the larger blocks.

“We had a tiny apartment in Epping; they were all attached, and we both hated it. We were living on top of each other and didn’t have any privacy,” she said.

�ey wanted at least a 700-square-metre block, and looked at Beveridge and Mickleham before purchasing their 750 square metre block in Merri�eld for $240,000 in 2013.

Housing costs push families out

Despite millions being spent on anti-smoking campaigns, the introduction of plain packaging, graphic health warnings on cigarette packs and the gradual phasing in of laws prohibiting smoking in public places, many Whittlesea residents continue to light up.

According to a 2011-12 population health survey, the municipality has the fourth highest rate of smokers in metropolitan Melbourne. And it’s a statistic the council wants to change.

Council out�t Healthy Whittlesea Together has partnered with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service and �omastown West Primary School to get kids engaged in a campaign to phase out the addiction by creating colourful “Smoke Free Zone” posters to put up around the school.

�omastown West Primary School principal Leon Bell said he hoped the project would deter students from smoking in adolescence.

“It’s about early intervention,” he said.

“We don’t want them to fall into that trap. But it’s di�cult for those students whose parents smoke. �ey face a dilemma when the school says one thing and their parents do another.”

�e posters will also be on display in the �omastown library and in other parts of the suburb.

�e laws in Victoria ban smoking within 10 metres of all playgrounds, childcare centres, kindergartens, schools, indoor play centres, public swimming pools, public hospitals and community health centres.

Hoppers Crossing guitar lesson done, we’re headed up Morris Road to Tarneit – in a su�ciently reckless mood that a regulation, delicious but naughty feed from a chook shop will go down nicely.

But we’re quietly hoping for something better – something even more tasty and perhaps even more healthy.

A touch of the Middle East perhaps?Flames Charcoal Chicken looks out upon

Wyndham Village shopping centre, home to a recently arrived Dosa Hut outlet, and is right next door to the recently reviewed Somalian joint, Ya Salam.

Turns out this Flames shop is one of four – there’s two others in the west and one in Bundoora.

I’m told the others are more your typical charcoal chicken shop routines.

But the Tarneit establishment – oh happy day! – does indeed sport a heavy Middle Eastern in�uence.

�ere’s wraps and rolls in the mix – but there’s also good salads, pickles and meat on sticks waiting to be grilled.

What we have is �ne – signi�cantly better than average fast food but not quite up to the standards of a full-on Lebanese place.

�e prices, though, are very low.It’s set out rather nicely as a restaurant

proper, our meals are served on wooden platters and we use real cutlery.

Bennie chooses the “chicken with the lot deal” ($16.90).

FLAMES CHARCOAL CHICKENAddress: 14 Lavinia Drive, TarneitPhone: 8360 3029

Kenny Weir delves into some chicken with a di�erence...

CONSIDER THE SAUCE

�ere’s three kinds of grilled chicken on hand – regular, chilli and (Bennie’s selection) lemon and garlic.

His chook is �ne, though not displaying much by way of the two listed seasonings.

All the rest – yogurt dip, pickles, chips and very tasty tabouleh – is good.

My shawarma meal ($12.90) comes with the same accompaniments, save for chips.

I wish there was more lamb o� the spit – and would happily pay for it.

Because this lamb is wonderful – tender, profoundly tasty and skillfully seasoned.

Locals will surely love having Flames around. It delivers a tasty, above average fast-food hit at good prices.

SPORTCannons’ star waits for AFL to send a calling card

Hisham Kerbatieh’s goal this season was to make the Calder Cannons’ squad.

Having been part of the TAC Cup club’s grand �nal side last year, this year was about wanting to improve his game.

He had no trouble making the squad, and soon gained attention beyond the Cannons, making the Vic Metro team and being invited to the national dra� combine.

To top it o�, later this month he could �nd himself on an AFL list.

“It wasn’t too bad a season,” Kerbatieh said last week.

“It’s been a bit of a challenging year, as we weren’t as strong as a team.

“On an individual basis, I could’ve done a bit more, kicking a few more goals. From a team aspect, it would have been good to get a few more wins.”

Kerbatieh’s biggest improvement this season has been his consistency and �tness.

�e Meadow Heights resident also revelled in being a leader with the Cannons.

“At the start of the pre-season, it was about getting my �tness levels up to play a bit more in the mid�eld,” he said.

“I loved it and I wanted to play in the mid�eld more.

“I liked being in the leadership group and got to be a bit more of a leader.

“I used what I went through as a bottom-ager, and tried to implement it.”

A�er setting small goals in the pre-season, he was surprised he was chosen to be part of the Vic Metro team, and played four games at the national carnival.

“It was a good feeling to play for the team – a real honour.”

Kerbatieh was just as surprised to be invited to the national combine last month.

“It was a bit nerve-wracking. It was a long couple of days, with skills tests, running, psyche tests and interviews. It was exciting times. I had four to �ve clubs speak to me.”

For now it’s a waiting game until the national AFL dra� on November 24.

�e rookie and pre-season dra� will happen three days later.

“It’s just about waiting, as I don’t know if I’ll be picked up,” Kerbatieh said.

“I’ve been training a little bit and I’ve got a trainer, who has been trying to teach me about endurance running.

“I’ll also have a little bit of time o� to spend with my family.”

Kerbatieh knows that if he doesn’t get dra�ed it’s not the end of the world.

One of his mentors, Adam Saad, came through the VFL system before being dra�ed by the Gold Coast Suns.

“If I don’t get dra�ed, I’ll go to Coburg [in the VFL] and keep trying to get to the AFL,” Kerbatieh said.

“I’ve been lucky; Adam Saad and Bachar Houli [Richmond defender] have been my mentors this year.

“I’ve been asking them how the system works.

“�ey both came into the system from di�erent avenues.”

Tara Murray

‘‘ It’s just about waiting … I don’t know if I’ll be picked up ’’ - Hisham Kerbatieh

By Tara Murray

Northern Knights mid�elder Darcy MacPherson is looking on the bright side of not being nominated by the Western Bulldogs under the father-son rule.

MacPherson had been hoping to be dra�ed by the club at which his father, Stephen, played 188 games between 1982 and ’95.

But late last month, the Bulldogs decided against doing so.

“It was sort of a little bit disappointing,” MacPherson said. “I’d spent a fair bit of time down there.

“�e decision, though, frees me up a little bit not to be compared to dad so much.”

Despite the Bulldogs’ decision, the 18-year-old’s AFL dreams are alive.

“�ere’s been a bit of fresh air [since the Bulldogs decision] and I’ve been in contact with a few clubs,” he said.

“My manager has been doing the hard work to get a rough idea where I sit.

“He is pretty con�dent of me getting picked up and I trust him and hopefully he is right.”

It has been an interrupted year for MacPherson, with a shoulder injury ruining the �rst half of his season and any chance of playing for Vic Metro in the under-18 championships.

“�e injury was a bit of a shame as I was feeling really �t – it pretty much stopped me,” he said. “I knew I would be back around the middle of the season which was enough time to show what I can do. It was a lot of hard work to get back into �tness.”

He returned to the �eld in round 10 of the TAC Cup.

“I thought I adapted getting back into football really well,” he said. “�e shoulder was �ne. I wanted to play consistent footy and showcase my skills with the ball.

“I played some pretty good games. I couldn’t have been happier, coming o� the injury.”

MacPherson also got the opportunity to play three games with Footscray’s VFL side.

“�at was awesome,” he said. “�e Bulldogs wanted to see how I would go against the next level.

“It was a bit of a step up. �e pace was better and you had little time to get rid of the ball.”

He said the greater impact of the bigger, senior players was obvious when he was tackled.

MacPherson, who lives in Diamond Creek, showed enough in the second half of the season

Knight dreams of AFL draft

Darcy MacPherson is quitely con�dent of landing at an AFL club. (Wayne Hawkins)

to be invited to the national dra� combine along with Knights teammates Brayden Fiorini, Tyrone Leonardis and Jade Gresham.

“�ere was a lot of hard work, training three nights a week with the Northern Knights who ran before it,” he said. “I had nothing to lose as not many clubs have seen much of me.

“I went out there and tried my best and I was really happy with the skills and other tests.

“It was good to have the other boys there. I played junior football against them and it’s good to see how they’ve matured.”

�e four Knights boys will continue to train together until the AFL dra� on Tuesday,

November 24, and the Rookie dra�, to be held three days later.

“We are doing our own thing together and sticking with it,” he said.

“I may go down to the Northern Blues and train with them.

“Hopefully things will work out.”

When Vanessa Lee decided to return to the so�ball �eld last year she had one thing in mind . . . to make it to 400 games.

She started playing when she was seven but spent a number of years away from the game.

“I stopped and played baseball for Port Melbourne,” Lee said. “I had my son and then went back to playing at Port Melbourne. �en a�er having my daughter, I played baseball at Waverley.”

Travelling to games and training became too much for a mother with two children, so Lee decided last year to return to so�ball.

She rejoined the Cheetahs club where she started and last Saturday became the �rst person from the Northern So�ball Association to play 400 games.

“It’s a little overwhelming to be the �rst person to play 400,” she said. “Everyone was excited for me.”

Playing so�ball is a family a�air for Lee, with her daughter playing tee-ball and her son playing in the under-13s.

“�e kids love so�ball,” she said. “My son is a little bat boy and my niece is a

bat girl for the senior games. My sister, Deanne, still plays and she should play her 400th next season.”

Lee’s mother also played so�ball.Lee said she was unsure how many so�ball

and baseball games she had played in total.“I’ve been playing since I was seven and now

I’m 40 . . . it’s been a long time.”Now she has reached her aim of 400 games,

Lee already has her sights set on a new milestone.

“Five hundred is the aim now,” she said. “I’ll keep playing as long as the body holds

out.”Vanessa Lee became the �rst player to play 400 games at the Northern Softball Association. (Damian Visentini)

Premier CricketGreenvale Kangaroos’ batsmen were under massive pressure against Fitzroy Doncaster in Premier Cricket on Saturday as they tried to avoid outright defeat. Resuming at 0-3, chasing Fitzroy Doncaster’s 253, the ‘Roos were bowled out for 118. Skipper Kyle Adams, batting at nine, was the best of the batsmen, scoring 38. Sent straight back into bat, the Kangaroos were 6-137 at stumps. Joshua Trembearth made his �rst half century in the �rst 11, �nishing 52 not out. The Kangaroos remain without a win after six rounds.

NMCARivergum won a rematch of last year’s grand �nal against North Brunswick/Rosebank on the last ball of the game in the North Metro Cricket Association’s Jika Shield. Chasing 118, Rivergum struggled throughout its innings, �nishing 9-120 to remain undefeated this season. Lalor Warriors defeated Darebin Chargers, ahead of Rivergum on net run rate. Keon Park and Olympic Colts were the other winners.

NFLSouth Morang has secured key forward Kane Maghamez for the next Northern Football League season. The three-time division four best and fairest forward comes from Eastern Football League, and before that VFL club Williamstown.

Third straight win keeps Epping coach happy Epping was searching for an outright victory over Rosanna but happily settled for a win on �rst innings in the Diamond Valley Cricket Association’s Barclay Shield on Saturday.

Epping secured �rst-innings points on day one by bowling out Rosanna for 58 then making 126 in reply.

But as Epping chased the maximum 10 points, Rosanna’s batsmen showed more resistance in the second innings, batting out the day to �nish 6-92 at stumps.

Epping coach John Lever could not have been happier with the start to the season, which has seen three straight wins.

“I’ll de�nitely take that,” he said. “Ideally, you’d like to start a season the way we have, but with such an even competition you don’t expect it.

“We were in the position to get the outright victory and we played all day to try to get it. Rosanna is a very disciplined side and batted

very well all day and shut the game down. In the end it got a little out of reach.”

Lever said bowlers Marcus Murphy, Billy McKeown and �omas Emmins had bene�ted from playing a couple of years in the top division.

“Everyone is playing their roles at the moment,” he said.

“If one person fails with the bat or ball, the next one steps up.

“You have to aim for �nals. We’re focusing on winning every game and that doesn’t change whoever we are playing.”

Diamond Creek went to the top of the ladder with an outright victory over Mernda.

A�er easily chasing down Mernda’s 67, Diamond Creek declared at 4-68 and sent Mernda back in.

Mernda was little better with the bat than in the �rst innings, making only 100, Callum Dean top-scoring with 37.

Diamond Creek reached the target of 100 with no problems, reaching 5-102 in the second innings.

Plenty’s winless start to the season continued with defeat by Bundoora.

A�er trailing by 73 on the �rst innings, Plenty managed 5-91 in their second innings to avoid an outright loss, thanks mainly to a �ghting 55 not out by captain Steven Villani as his teammates struggled.

Old Paradians/St Francis got its �rst win of the season against Lower Eltham.

A�er making 7-204, Old Paradians/St Francis restricted Lower Eltham to 174.

Udhara Hewa Wellalage was the pick of the bowlers, taking 6-39.

Mill Park and Lalor Stars were among the winners in the Money Shield, while Whittlesea lost to Montmorency.

Jake Matthews had the same dream as many young boys – to play AFL.

A talented young footballer with Epping, he showed enough skill to play with TAC Cup side the Northern Knights and was on the right track to achieve his dream.

A suggestion from his father to try another sport soon saw one dream fade and another take its place.

“I took up kick boxing classes and soon joined in other classes at the gym,” Matthews said.

His coach at the gym asked if he was up for a �ght – that mixed martial arts bout changed everything.

“I had no expectations and I still wanted to play AFL at that stage,” Matthews said.

“I was 16 and my opponent was 24. �e �ght went the way I wanted it to. I knocked him out in the second round … it ignited my passion.

Jake Matthews is pumped for the biggest �ght of his career. (Damjan Janevski)

Big kicks for a kid from Epping“If I had lost or not won convincingly, that

would have been the end of it.”Despite disappointing a lot of people with

his decision to give up football, Matthews knows he made the right decision.

On Saturday, he will be on the under card of the UFC 193 event at Etihad Stadium when he will take on Mexican �ghter Akbarh Arreola.

“I didn’t doubt my decision and my family was really supportive,” he said. “My mum has been in the front row of my 20 �ghts and my dad is my trainer.”

Arreola, 32, has a record of 23 wins, nine losses and a draw.

Matthews, who is known as “�e Celtic Kid”, said it didn’t come any bigger than a home-town �ght in front of what is expected to be a world record UFC crowd.

Two of the best-known female �ghters on the planet, Ronda Rousey (12-0-0) and Holly Holm (9-0-0), will contest the main event.

Matthews has had UFC bouts in Auckland, Sydney and Adelaide – but this week’s Melbourne �ght will top them all.

“�is �ght card is one of the biggest cards ever and it’s in my home town,” he said.

“It’s something all �ghters dream about.”�e 21-year-old has come a long way since his

�rst �ght when he was 16.“I had 10 �ghts as an amateur ,” he said “I had my �rst pro �ght two weeks a�er

turning 18.”Next came a stint on TV series �e Ultimate

Fighter Nations: Canada vs Australia, on which he was eliminated in the opening round.

“I came back home to keep �ghting and show what I can really do,” he said.

A�er one �ght for one win upon returning, UFC came calling.

“It was super exciting,” he said.A�er winning his �rst two UFC �ghts,

Matthews lost his third – the �rst defeat of his 20-�ght career.

“You are going to lose eventually,” he said. “It does give you motivation.”

Matthews and his father, Mick, run XLR8 Training Centre in Epping, which teaches martial arts.

“It’s a good feeling to be able to spend every day with dad training,” he said. “We’ve found a way to make it work.

“When we are training, he is coach – but when we are relaxing he is dad. I’ve won 19 �ghts out of 20, so it’s working.”

Matthews won’t be the only local in action on Saturday – Westmeadows’ Dan Kelly will �ght American Steve Montgomery.

“You’d be silly not to enjoy the moment,” Kelly said.

“�is is a massive event for Australia and for the UFC and Melbourne – and I’m going to enjoy it for sure.

“I’m on the third �ght and hopefully I’ll be celebrating, kicking back and watching the rest of the card.”
