Doncaster Bowls Club were 'shocked' and believed there must have been a mistake so they hired a lawyer in anticipation of a legal fight But they were advised that the matter wasn't worth pursuing 'We did contest the will to a point,' Doncaster Bowling Club executive chairman Trevor Dawson told News Corp. 'But there was no value in going any further. 'The matter is finished as far as we're concerned. Donvale got the money and there's nothing we can do about it.' There's reported speculation from club members that Bruce had been unhappy with people from Doncaster and might have changed his will as payback. Mr Dawson disagreed with those claims, however.  'There was no tension between Bruce and any of our members,' he said. Donvale are excited about the windfall and already have plans for upgrading their facilities - including covering the greens with a dome to play all year around and installing lights for night games.  'We're going to be one of only a handful of clubs without pokies to have these type of facilities,' said chairman Ian Bramstedt.

Bramstedt said a Donvale member who drove to Hallman's nursing home one day ahead of a membership drive in 2019 was the likely catalyst for the generous donation 'He played pennants against our club a few times and we thought one day we would bring him down and buy him a few beers,' he said '[By all reports] he didn't have any family and was an eccentric character we all would have liked to get to know him better 'He got sick during the [Covid] pandemic so he didn't get to join our club which is a shame...clearly he liked our hospitality 'But it goes without saying we are very appreciative of his generosity we don't need to go and sell sausages at Bunnings now.' Bramstedt went onto add Hallman's will was closely analysed to ensure the seven-figure donation wasn't accidently passed onto the wrong bowls club Doncaster launched legal action - but executive chairman Trevor Dawson was informed there were no further avenues for them to pursue According to News Corp, there was some speculation Hallman had been 'unhappy with a few members of his old club.'

The men also tried to trip the women as they ran out. Now, the club has announced that the entire men's reserve team has been stood down indefinitely pending an invesitgation into the incident.   One Donvale player, speaking to News Corp anonymously, said the incident was 'overwhelming' and that she and her teammates already felt 'uncomfortable' before the comments were made. After the game, she says they broke down in tears.  'It was really hard to take in as we had a game to play but as soon as the game was over and we all realised what happened a lot of us broke down in tears and just felt helpless,' she said. 'Personally I haven't had anything as full on as this. I've had individual men come up to me and say things that aren't really appropriate but this was a group of 20 men standing, laughing and making comments about us. 'The only thing I want to emphasise is the amount of other men from Knox that were around them not saying anything. 'Unfortunately I really do believe that men aren't going to stop behaving like this unless other men call it out, they don't listen to women.' The incident happened during an Eastern Football Netball League match and the player insists strong sanctions need to be handed down.  'There needs to be a punishment because unfortunately these boys aren't going to learn unless something like footy gets taken away from them,' she said. 'I think there needs to be education and an outside group that comes in to educate everyone.' The incident has led to widespread outcry from the footy community, with Port Adelaide star Travis Boak publicly condemning the episode.  '(It) is for the club and the league to handle (the) punishment but is just a sorry going to cut it? Will this affect any change in behaviour,' he told News Corp. 'High standards in regards to respect need to be set in all workplaces and then a high level of support to help educate everyone the importance of being a good human being and the effects it has. 'It's not about 'you have done this, you're a bad person' but about how you can learn and be better from this because this isn't the level of respect we have for women and people in our community.' Boak said only men can change the behaviour of men towards women.  'No one is above anyone, we are all equal and respect for women and women in sport is a part of being a good human being,' he said. 'This sort of action just doesn't represent how we should show up in the world particularly towards women and women in football where the game has grown so much and become a huge success in terms of young girls striving to play at the top level and follow their AFL heroes.' An investigation is underway and Knox announced its reserves team has been stood down 'indefinitely' until the probe is completed. 'Our internal investigation executed by KFNC in conjunction with Donvale Football Club revealed that the individuals involved were members of our development team,' a club statement said. 'At the request of KFNC, the EFNL have engaged an independent investigation into the incdent to ensure transparency and accountability. 'KFNC are implementing a comprehensive behavioural and domestic violence educational program across the entire club. Participation in this program will be mandatory for all members, with a 'no education, no play' rule in effect. 'We understand the gravity of this situation and the importance of taking swift and decisive action.' Donvale president John Giles said: 'Donvale Football Club have been made aware by our women's team that they were subjected to offensive remarks by an opposing club on Saturday. 'This is a matter of serious concern and we are investigating further. 'In addition we have been informed that both the opposing club and the league are investigating the matter.

I've been told more than 20 other players watched it happen and didn't speak up.' Compounding the issue, the alleged incident happened during the league's domestic violence awareness round with the Donvale players wearing pink socks to support Breast Cancer Network Australia.  'A minute's silence was held at this very ground as a mark of respect.

Knox released a statement from president Paul Blair apologising for the actions of the male players. 'You may be aware of an incident that occurred at half time in the women's game where KFNC Players made anti-social behaviour or behaviour that is disrespectful towards the Donvale women's players,' the statement said. 'Behaviour of this kind is completely unacceptable at our club, and we are deeply concerned by the incident. 'We are committed to take firm action to ensure that our community are aware that we condemn this type of behaviour.

take advantage of the prices just before they start to go up a lot higher which is what we’re forecasting between now and next year.” Local interest was ultimately overcome by young family buyers from Kew for the two-storey brick house “I guess it’s because the property they bought in Kew is going to be worth a lot more; they’re probably used to paying those sort of prices in those areas,” Mr

all in one the rustic feel in suburban living,” Mr Keleher said One of the drawcards of the address was its access to both the city and Mornington Peninsula which were only “two sets of traffic lights” away 12 Old Warrandyte Rd is one of two properties on the market along the road Barry Plant Doncaster East director Mark Di Giulio said the coveted road was the perfect example of country

panelling and there are hidden secret passageways where children could have play areas,” he said “There is also magnificent garaging and separate self-contained guest quarters “It’s something you could never recreate.” The former stables are now a guest cottage The small hobby vineyard is also expected to attract interest from homebuyers Mr Hoskins said the vendor had planted the vines about 10-15 years ago and had local vintners pick and process the grapes “He has a couple of dozen red wines made each year — good reds,” he said “You couldn’t open your own winery with these vines but they’d be a good little hobby for someone who loves wine.” A heated pool is just one of the property’s outdoor treats With so many charming and special features on offer Mr Hoskins said Wellwood Manor

Mr Lyall said the Franklins decided to sell up after Buddy’s father’s move, preferring not to rent to people outside the family. They were planning to invest elsewhere. “They thought about it and rather than keep it as an investment for non-family members they decided they would rather sell it,” he said. “Both Lance and Jesinta are busy with their clothing and apparel business and modelling.” While the home was not used by the glamour couple, their lives were a definite feature of it, particularly given Mr Franklin senior had a dedicated room for his son’s football memorabilia. “He had everything from his junior and state representative photos, through to his time with Hawthorn and of course with the Sydney Swans memorabilia,” Mr Lyall said. “He also had a Melbourne jumper on the wall because he is a huge Melbourne fan,” he said “It looked a little out of place in there,” Mr Lyall said with a laugh. “That’s now all been removed for the sale.” Mr Lyall said Mrs Franklin had been involved in small refurbishment of the home in preparation for the auction which is being held in November. “It’s a lovely home in a sensational area,” Mr Lyall said. “It would suit a variety of people.” The Franklins now live in Rose Bay in a renovated home close to the Sydney Swans home ground, buying their current home for a reported $2.35 million in 2016.
