MONBULK PRESENTATION NIGHT 2025
The Monbulk Football Netball Club drew their season to a close on Friday with their annual Jennings and Broekhof Medal Presentation Night at the club pavilion.

Next season the club is looking to field two extra football teams, with the Women’s team to reform after just failing to have a side this year and the Veterans to reform. Monbulk previously had a Veterans team 1995-2006 and won two premierships in 1995-96 and finished runners up in 1998.
Around 10 players have been invited to the League Presentation Night next Saturday, October 4, which bodes well for the chances of having players win individual awards or be selected in the Team Of The Year.
