Yarra Junction Eagles Junior Football Club

Last night we had our Presentation Night. 💚💛🦅

Was a fantastic night at the nest celebrating everything that was season 2026.

Lots of updates to come from the night, the first of which we congratulate our two "Club Person of the Year Winners" for 2026.

Our non-committee club member winner Kimberley Smith does so much work around the club, when this award was announced she didn't even realise initially; because her head was stuck in the Bain Marie organising dinner for our little eagles. 🍟🍗

And our committee member winner, Catherine Holmes. Unfortunately, there is not enough allowance in a Facebook post to outline how much this lovely lady does for the club. The pinnacle of her efforts displayed last night with not just the decorations; but the passion, care and effort put into the special gifts for our Eagles community. 💪🫶

Congrats and thank you for all your efforts, ladies! 🤩🤩

Big thanks to all the other nominees for these awards. The efforts did not go unnoticed by the club this season. So grateful for all of you guys:

Committee nominations - Blayden Steedman, Ash Crick, Kate Cairns, Adam Charles,

Non-committee nominations - Lola Steedman, Deni Walker, Matt Dearden-Hill, Jodie Bethune, Mark Duckworth, Jacqui Spoor & James O'Neill.

And they’re ALL sponsored 🦅✅

Thanks Eagles Fam 🔰🫶🏻
You guys are seriously the best!!

🦅 TOMORROW IS THE DAY 🦅

Tomorrow we get to proudly watch, for the first time in YJJFC history - an all girls side make finals!! (And it’s only the 2nd year ever that YJ has fielded an all girls team in a competitive age group!)

We are beyond proud of this group of players and their incredible growth over the 2026 season, and we can’t wait to watch them run out and play their first finals game together 💚💛 GO EAGLES!

🦅 *The Eagles are heading to FINALS* 👏🏼🦅

Our u12 girls will be playing in a semi final this weekend against Mt Evelyn!! 💚💛

We’ll have more details once finals fixtures are released, but for now LETS CELEBRATE the awesome work of this team 🙌🏼 (*plus Immy, our superstar rep netballer!)

Let’s get behind the girls this week, and bring on all the support and love our club is known best for!!

Congratulations to Caiden Kotaidis for his 50th game today 💚💛💚💛

Best on ground with 4 goals 🤗

Caiden is a smart & fair player, always listening to his coaches. Caiden is a passionate & loyal St Kilda supporter. He has clearly watched a lot of AFL. It shows in his ability to read the play & react like a player beyond his years.

Well done mate 💚💛 🦅
