Monash is a young football club that is heading in the right direction. The club has a stable committee, a mixture of young and experienced players and a very good social atmosphere. It is a combination that can lead to success. The club has made the last two reserves Grand Finals and made Senior Grand Finals in 2003 and 1998. The club is ready to make the next step in the Seniors. Do you think you can make this happen? If so we welcome your application.

After two years of Coaching the Club at Senior Level Steve Bourbon has resigned as Senior Coach. He stated that he wished to start a family and also to go back to study so could not give the commitment required to coach the club at Senior Level. Steve has done a fantastic job over the last two season to move the team in the direction required to become successful. He has been a magnificent contributor and leader of the club on and off the field. The club thanks him for his efforts and hopes he continues his involvement in the club in some capacity for many seasons to come.

Matt Parker will play his final game of football for the Gryphs in the Grand Final vs Kew this weekend. It will be his 50th game. Matt has played a year of senior football and the last two seasons in the Reserves. He is a big reason why the Twos are in the Grandfinal this year. He is a power forward who can take strong marks and can kick a bagful of goals. Goodluck Matt for this weekend.

Justin Heatherington finally played his 100th game vs Old Westbourne on Saturday in the Reserves Preliminary Final. Judda has played the majority of his football in the Seniors. He is a very tough footballer and undoubtedly the best tackler the club has seen. He is always seen at the bottom of the pack getting the ball out to our onballers. He played in the 1998 Grand final and last years Reserves Grand final. Justin has finished runner up or in the top three in the Best and Fairest many times. He won this years reserves best and fairest. At 36 years of age that is a fair effort. His last game will most probably be this weeks grand final vs Kew. Good luck Judda and thanks for the effort you have displayed on the field over the last 10 seasons.
