KOUTA IN TOP TOUCH FOR MOONEE VALLEY

FORMER Carlton captain Anthony Koutoufides helped Moonee Valley make a flying start to its Essendon District Football League B Grade season on Saturday, the local side thumping Keilor Park by 104 points.

 

Koutoufides, who played 278 games with the Blues, pulled on the boots for the Valley in a one-off match and booted two goals in the win. Coach Charlie Denaro was pleased with the ex-Blue's performance. "At 39 years old he can't just turn it on but he got lots of the ball (at the stoppages) and was able to pass it off to the young guys on the outside," Denaro said.

 

Valleys forward Daniel Cassett booted six goals for the winners, despite Denaro's claim that throughout the match he had "three guys on him". "I was surprised Danny was able to kick four goals because he had three guys on him for most of the game and copped a lot of treatment from Keilor Park," Denaro said.

 

Liam Johnson (four goals), James Edwards (two goals) and Justin Lumsden (two goals) also contributed strongly for Moonee Valley. For Keilor Park, Zack Carey and Dean Kalvisky preformed well in the loss and Jesse Ravanello converted two goals. 

 

Last time Moonee Valley lined up against Glenroy it was comprehensively beaten but Denaro is hoping his side can turn that around with a win over Lance Whitnall's team this Saturday. "We were really happy with the win and we played the way we wanted to but about half an hour after the game we began looking forward to next week," he said. "They're a strong club while my list is very young and not fully matured yet but I think we can beat them on endurance."

 

 

 

2012 MVFC LEADERSHIP GROUP ANNOUNCED

The MVFC senior leadership group for season 2012 has been established after a pre season which saw the introduction of a lot of new talent to the club. The match committee decided on a group of players they believe will represent the club with distinction both on and off the field after the playing group nominated 9 potential candidates.


Returning for his second year as captain is Jason Slater with John O'Brien joining him as co-captain after a year away from the club playing in the VAFA. Matt Reiffle has impressed in a short time with the club since coming over from Sunbury and along with Jacob Nicholson and Tom Wilson they round out the group.

Jason Slater enters his second year as captain in only his third year at the club after having played every senior game the past two years, the only player to do so. He is passionate about bringing respect and success to Moonee Valley and leads by example on field as well as setting the club culture off field. From the moment he came to the club he has impressed, being voted into the leadership group in his first pre season and taking the reigns for his first game as captain in the last round of 2010 with both the captain and vice captain out injured.

 
John O'Brien joins Slater as captain in a return to his junior club after an impressive pre-season, setting a great standard with his preparation. Although only one of the many younger players at the club he will be pivotal to the success of the team, holding down a key position at either end of the field and adding a big athletic presence in the midfield at times. It is important we develop leaders for the future and we are keen to not only develop his football skills but his leadership qualities also. 

Matt Reiffle has set a great example on the track throughout pre season, bringing a successful culture from his time at Sunbury after playing in a Grand Final last year. His hard running and strong voice have been standout features in his time at the Valley so far and his experience will greatly benefit our young playing group.

Jacob Nicholson will again be part of the leadership group as he returns for another year at the Valley. He made a great impression on all who watched him play or took the time to chat to him off field last year. His no frills style of play endeared him to the Valley faithful and the playing group as well.
 

Tom Wilson returns to the leadership group after concentrating on his own form last season and consequently claiming his 2nd best & fairest. A quiet guy who goes about his business with minimal fuss and leads by example on the field, it is fantastic to have him back as an official member of the leadership group.
