New players Welcome:
Any players or parents wishing to talk to Steve about joining our colts U/19’s program next year please contact Steve on 0408 352 633.
Thank You to Kim Brimelow & his team for their tireless efforts with the colts this year. Amid very stressful problems with his new born baby, Kim managed to keep his cool & juggle the responsibilities, so that he didn’t let the boys or the club down. Thankfully all has worked out well for the Brimelow family and with an undermanned squad, the guys & staff battled it out all year. It shows real character from both coaches & players. Kim has filled many roles over his 30 years at the club. Past president(5 years), secretary, treasurer, general committee, colts assistant coach(4 years) & colts coach.
I would like to thank Kim both personally & on behalf of the club for all his efforts & look forward to seeing him in another role at the club at some time in the future.

President
Good Sports Program
The Knox Football Club is displaying commitment to responsible alcohol management with an application for Level Three accreditation under the Australian Drug Foundation’s Good Sports program.
Good Sports is the first nationwide alcohol management program of its kind and is supported by VicHealth, the Traffic Accident Commission (TAC), the Department of Health and Department of Health & Ageing. The program was developed following research conducted by the Australian Drug Foundation which indicated that by introducing responsible alcohol management policies, clubs were able to improve membership and enhance viability.
The club is determined to meet the criteria required for the Level Three accreditation.
Colts Player Sam Raru is seeking a Work Experience placement with a Sparky for Term 3 this year. Please see our Situations Vacant link for his details.

Myeloma/Knox FC Fundraiser
Knox Football Club have the chance of helping the good work of the Myeloma Foundation , while also raising money for our football club. This will be achieved through the Fundraising initiative of Mygiving , in conjunction with Australia’s largest bookmaker, SportingBet . MyGiving is the fundraising division of the Myeloma foundation.
Myeloma is a complicate, malignant and as yet, incurable cancer. The Foundation facilitates myeloma research, supports and informs those living with the condition educates carers and patients and advocates for the latest treatments to be available.
In a nutshell, you open an account with SportingBet. The fees are paid once the first bet is complete(paid or lost), ie the end of the race, event, whatever. That bet can be as small as $1.00 to start proceedings, however the initial deposit into the account must be $30.00 or more. This is a standard condition and has nothing to do with incentives, if you open an account straight off the web, same applies. Everything else is standard, money can be withdrawn etc so nothing else changes. For each account opened, Myeloma and Knox FC receive $50 each.
It’s very important to register via any of the SportingBet links on this page as they link directly to Knox FC. This will count clicks from our page,(from this URL), also accounts opened, accounts funded, and commissions earned.
So if you enjoy having a punt, open an account and help both the Myeloma Foundation and the Knox Football Club.
