Latitude: Directions for Young People Creating a sense of community connection for young people living in Hobson's Bay and Moonee Valley i

"Latitude provides services to help young people in Melbourne's West experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Latitude also develops and delivers programs independently and with partners to assist disconnected young people in gaining the skills they need to contribute and participate positively in their community. We connect vulnerable young people with community supports, returning to education, seeking employment, and more. Latitude is a point of contact for fatigued and exhausted young people where anger and frustration at the world can be expressed and explored safely and without judgement."

What a way to finish off a season! The WynBay Tigers definitely came out to play on Wednesday in their Grand Final against a noble opposition in Bendigo Gold.
The Tigers came out with an extraordinary spirit and determination, the boundary watches could not believe how slickly they played. Not just slick, they were considerate, they shared the ball, they become one. Reflected on the scoreboard it was never in doubt that the WynBay Tigers would hold the cup.
What’s even more impressive is the Reclink Spirit that was on display, it really was a Team effort in the most fabulous spirit.
As we end the season it’s time to acknowledge the great work of the mastermind Coach, his ‘shop early to avoid the rush’ pre game speech is one for the history books!
None of it would happen without the persistence of our Pete who does the wrangling all year, thank you Pete, we know it’s not easy. Thanks to Kelvin for managing the strapping. To our Geoff who doesn’t have to be there but turns up every week, such a vital component of the Team. And shout out to Reclinks AJ for slotting into the team perfectly and Werribee’s Shaggy for doing what he does best, makes us feel a little special!
Of course without the Team there would be no game and when they play with respect for their opposition, respect for their teammates, the umpires, well there’s none prouder than the WynBay Tiger support crew and you remind us why we come back year after year! Another one Coach? Of course there’s another one!
Magic Tigers!

Today the Tigers came together to celebrate season 2026. Congrats to all the trophy winners, with or without a trophy you’re all winners! Some of our players had a really tough year off the field but managed to turn up and play in the true spirit of Wynbay Tigers and Reclink. Great leadership on the field, sportsmanship has been a highlight this year, you’ve done yourselves proud Tiges!
Hats of to our Pete for putting together not just the day but the season, and to our amazing Coach who won’t be dropping anything Tiger like at an op shop anytime soon!!!!
One more game to go, the GF next Wednesday Werribee FC Watton Street Werribee game starts 1pm.
Go Tigers!

The weather Gods were smiling on us yesterday as we played the In it Together Cup. It really was a coming together as players from across a huge array of Hobsons Bay City Council Departments played, kept score, goal umpired you name it. Special shout out to our Mayor Grima and Deputy Mayor Hawli for putting on the boots and getting in amongst it and to Councillor Bishop for timekeeping so accurately! Thanks to Director Hector for presenting the winners with the Cup. Big thanks to Melbourne Airport for providing such a shiny cup and Michelle for running water so professionally! Huge thanks to our regular Tigers who were pivotal to the day playing across both teams. Thanks to Rotary Club of Altona City for making sure that the BBQ was humming and to our friends from Salvo’s Altona, LCIS and Vic Pol for coming down, cheering and sharing what was a wonderful example of how we are SO connected in Hobsons Bay.
The game was competitive and close, well you know sometimes it is about winning..and yes the Tigers did bring home the Cup but the real winner was a deepened sense of connection amongst all those working with the most disadvantaged (especially our people without a home) in Hobsons Bay. Together we make Hobsons Bay a special place, a place where everyone matters.
Still shouting…massive shout to Jackie (HBCC) and Pete (Latitude) for pulling the day together, it really was special. Made even more special by the members of our Sarah’s family who came down to watch and Sarah's Mum Viv for presenting the Sarah Woska Most Valuable Player medal.
We do it Together!!!

Come join us as we acknowledge that in responding to homelessness, we are all in it together! The In it Together Cup brings together people who have or are experiencing homelessness, and those who by the nature of their work are often first responders.
WynBay Tigers v Hobsons Bay Pelicans
The regular Tigers Team will be scattered across Tigers and Pelicans as we aim to create a shared understanding of the experience of homelessness and the experience of responding to it. Last played in 2024 this game broke down many barriers, and not that it’s about winning, the Tigers came out on top, will the Pelicans fly this time round? Come down and cheer them on, game starts 12pm.

Would your home fit in a car? Would you sleep well in your car with all your worldly possessions? Is this something you would choose to do?

Welcome to Homelessness Week, a week we really shouldn't have.
An election year is an opportunity to speak to anyone who will listen. We need ACTION NOW, that is access to housing. We need to explore as many options as possible, tiny homes, modular homes, and most importantly PUBLIC HOUSING, community housing, all forms of housing. Start the conversation. It's vital.
Will you sleep comfortably tonight?

Check this out.........the Tigers have had Father/Son duos before but never one that the Coach has watched grow from the pram! Logan has been around WynBay Tigers literally forever and yesterday Logan played his first game with his Dad Tiger icon Harro. Not only did Logan play he achieved the Coach's award, not a bad effort on a day when Sunbury were just way to good for the Tiges.
Is that a little tear I spot in the Coach's eye.......proud moment for all of us! And no we definitely didn't but yesterday really wasn't about winning on the field...Tiges kicking goals off the field!
