Greenvale Football Club

Greenvale has only been in operation as a senior club for a little over a decade, but already it has established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the powerful Essendon District Football League.

They finished on top again in 2005 before reaching a second successive premiership play-off after an impressive 2nd semi final demolition of Keilor.

The grand final turned into a nightmare, however, as rank outsiders Strathmore stole both the show and the flag with a hard-earned and well-deserved 10 point win.

The 2006 season saw a slight drop in performance level, and Greenvale's premiership aspirations were ended by Doutta Stars on preliminary final day.

As of 2009 – Steve MacPherson was the longest serving coach of any side in the EDFL until he announced he was leaving the club at the end of the 2010 season.

2012 saw Greenvale retain Anthony Rock as coach and recruit several players mainly Eric Kuret and Daniel Campisano.

This was due to a huge influence by Greenvale colt hero Jacob Thompson booting 2 majors in the final term to secure the win, very stiff to miss out on best on ground honors.

In December 2009 it was named that ex-essendon AFL player Scott Lucas (footballer) would be playing for Greenvale in the 2010 season and he has proved to be a wonderful asset.

The Seniors, Reserves and the Under 18 Div 1 teams all subsequently finished on top of their respective ladders and into the 2010 EDFL Finals.

The Seniors, Reserves and the Under 18 Div 1 teams all eventually played off in Grand Finals on 12 September 2010 at Essendon's Windy Hill Football Ground.

On the eve of the finals Greenvale lost two of its key players Travis Jorgenson and Dean Smith and there were injury clouds under a number of other stars.

Greenvale looked gone through the third quarter but dug deep on the back of Jacob Thompson and Matthew Smith heroics, the Jets won by 2 points.
