Do you know someone who has gone above and beyond for our club? This is your chance to recognise a true legend of St Mary’s by nominating them for Life Membership.
Whether they’ve dedicated years of service, shown outstanding leadership, or made a lasting impact behind the scenes, we want to hear about them.
Nominations must be made by a current financial member and seconded by another unrelated current financial member.
We’re proud that six of our talented players were recognised in the Herald Sun Leader Northern Football Netball League’s ‘Best Players 22 and Under’ list.
Congratulations to Hayden Bickerton, Nick Brennan, Joshua Carelli, Will Dean, Ty Kitchell and Lachlan Read on this well-deserved recognition. Each of these players has not only made a strong impact on the field but has also shown maturity, consistency, and leadership well beyond their years.
It’s fantastic to see the hard work and dedication of our development pathways paying off.
A huge congratulations to our 15&U team for making it to the Grand Final. This is an incredible achievement, especially considering it’s only their second season with the club and as a team!
The progress this team has made is a true credit to their hard work, dedication, and teamwork throughout the season. Every player has contributed to what has been a fantastic journey so far.
A special thank you to Coach Mick Denton for his leadership and to Tony Ryan for his support throughout the season. And of course, thank you to all the families and supporters who have been behind the team every step of the way.
We were proud to take part in Sunday’s Women and Girls Feature Day, a celebration of the growing strength and future of female football.
Events like this play a vital role in supporting the journey from junior girls to senior women’s sport. They help keep girls engaged, confident, and active, while building strong pathways that allow them to thrive both on and off the field.
A huge thank you to St Mary’s Junior Football Club and especially Girls Football Program Coordinator, Simon Armstrong, for the time, effort, and passion that went into making the day such a success.
It’s days like this that remind us of the power of community sport to inspire the next generation of female athletes.
Thank you to our community for banding together for the TAC Victoria Road Safety Round this weekend.
Our players wore blue armbands to honour the lives lost on Victoria roads and serve as a reminder that we all play a role in making our roads safer.
Specifically, we were shining a spotlight on speeding— a factor in at least 30% of fatal and 25% of serious injury crashes on Victorian roads.
Every time we get behind the wheel, we have a choice. A choice to slow down, to stay alert, and to help ensure that everyone gets home safely. It might seem small, but your actions can make a life-saving difference.
Thank you to all those who wore the blue band and helped spread the message. Let’s keep this awareness going on and off the field.
Our incredible senior women’s football team has done it again, finishing the home-and-away season as minor premiers for the 4th year in a row!
This group continues to set the standard, showing just what can be achieved with hard work, unity, and determination. Already back-to-back premiers across Division 1 and Division 2, they made an unforgettable statement last year by winning the premiership in their very first year in Division 1.
Now, with another strong season under their belt, the team advances straight to the second round of finals, and the dream of a three-peat premiership is well and truly alive.
To dominate like this across multiple divisions is no easy feat — but this group keeps rising to the occasion, year after year.
Well done to all the players, and a special thank you to Troy and Jessie Bickerton for their tireless work behind the scenes. Their leadership, passion, and commitment to the team have played a huge role in this ongoing success.
We’re proud of everything they’ve accomplished so far and can’t wait to cheer them on through the finals. Fingers crossed they can bring home the big trophy once again!
This week we’re participating in TAC Victoria and AFL Victoria’s Road Safety Round.
Our football and netball teams will proudly wear blue armbands as part of the TAC’s ‘Band Together’ campaign — a powerful reminder that we’re all on the same team when it comes to saving lives on our roads.
This year, the focus is on speeding – a factor in nearly 1 in 3 fatal crashes in Victoria. Even a small amount over the speed limit can increase your crash risk by 44%.
From 2025, it’s not just about playing your role – it’s about leading. Your actions can protect more than just yourself – they protect your teammates, your club, and your community.
Club President, Mark Stanley, shared the importance of Road Safety Round.
“As a club, we have a responsibility to drive change – on and off the field. Road safety is everyone’s issue, and every action you take on the road matters.”
“We’re calling on every player, coach and volunteer to help build a culture of road safety in our community. It’s time to not just show up – but step up.”
One death on our roads is too many – and our club can BE THE DIFFERENCE.
What a fantastic day for our annual $5K Draw — a great turnout, plenty of laughs, and an overall fun day!
We all enjoyed a delicious spit roast cooked up by long-time club supporter Mick Costanzo from Chef in a Box. Big thanks to Liz Mace, Robyn Irvine, and Jodi Stanley for serving on the day and keeping the food topped up!
Our regular bartender Livio Basile was missed, but Graeme & Shelley Daisley and Zeke Butterworth jumped behind the bar to keep the drinks flowing.
Adding to the atmosphere, we had fantastic live music from Nick McColl and Sarah Catania, which had the crowd up and dancing well into the afternoon.
A huge shout-out to our host Matt Patti, organisers Lauren & James Ind, and everyone who helped with the numbers on the day, including Noah Stanley, Daniel Watkinson, and even Tommy Bianchin, who jumped in to lend a hand.
As for the draw — the final five decided to split the prize, each walking away with $1,000. Although our major sponsor AES held the winning number.
Thanks to everyone who made it such a memorable event — already looking forward to the next one!
