Month: October 2017

Thanks Luke Slater for a fantastic contribution to our footy club. You have Coached & developed our players brilliantly, and we are a better footy club for having had you on board. You have a club full of mates at the Devils.

Both seasons in the Finals, with a heart breaker in the Grand Final in 2016! There was plenty to like about what you did mate.

You have a great footy brain and a great skill of improving how players approach the game. We wish you well as you jump in and get involved with East Burwood. You’re a great footy man.

Geoff Moyle & Ron Hoogkamer were named Life Members of Wantirna South Football Club at the recent presentation night. It was a great moment for the Devils with the room full of congratulations for these very popular men. 

In front of many attending Life members,players & supporters, Les Cochrane spoke with a heart felt appreciation of the contribution Ron Hoogkamer has made.  A former President (2012 to 2014), Ronny first started coming to Devils games in 1996 with his sons.  It wasn’t long before he was a regular, following his sons playing at the Senior club.  His willingness to help where he could has found him an integral part of the club over many years and an excellent leader. “Hoogy” loves the game and seeing our players enjoy themselves playing footy for the Devils is why he continues to help & support.

Mick Gillin, spoke with great passion & gusto when announcing Geoff Moyle‘s award.  A friend to everyone, Geoff has also made a significant contribution, over a long time, to the club.  After first coming down to enjoy the footy games in the early 2000’s, Geoff was keen to get involved and help. He has performed many roles & tasks to put the games on since.  Always a friendly face on game day selling margin tickets,  it is also the organising and transporting of all the equipment by Geoff which is vital to the players.

Well deserved Life members of the Devils.
