Exclusive!! The Test.

Screening Ormond Park Thursday

October 3

We welcome everyone to be a part of MVCC’s first event for the year, a special screening of Episode 2 of the recent Amazon Prime TV series, The Test (covering the Lord's Test from the 2023 Ashes Series and the completely non-controversial, I-can't-believe-what-all-the-fuss-is-about dismissal of Jonny Bairstow).
Mike Mulgrew and Adam Wright, who edited the series will be presenting the episode to provide insights into:

• The decisions that lead to what goes in and what stays out.
• Why some moments/players/events may or may not feature.
• Overall, what can be learned from hours and hours of following high performance cricketers.
• Adam will touch on the Langer years, the evolution of that group and differences in style between the Langer/Paine period and the McDonald/Cummins era.

Mike Mulgrew and Adam Wright will also do a Q&A after the screening.

DOM GIBALDI TAKES OUT OUR

LINDSAY JONES AWARD

Congratulations to Domenic Gibaldi on being announced the prestigious Lindsay Jones Best Clubperson award at our Presentation Night on April 13.
Dom showed his passion and enthusiasm for our great club both in his acceptance speech and earlier in the night, when he presented awards to his beloved premiership-winning Second Eleven.

As President Charlie Walker said in announcing Dom as the Lindsay Jones Best Clubperson, he was prepared to take on the jobs that no-one else was willing to handle, and turn them into successes.
Geoff McKeown was presented with Life Membership at the function, at the Moonee Ponds Club. His Life Membership was presented by Jim Polonidis and Mark Gauci, and is the culmination of a career that began in 1998.
Our 2023/24 Club Champion is Ruwan Jayaweera, who took an incredible 42 wickets in the First Eleven.
First Eleven captain and Committee member Jack Newman also presented the Sean O'Kane Ward, for players in all Elevens other than the Firsts. It was won by Fourths captain Prem Janarthanan, who compiled 1205 points - the highest winning total this century, and perhaps of all time.

Announcement: Moonee Valley Senior Coach appointment 2024/25

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Brayden McGregor as Moonee Valley's senior coach for the 2024/25 season.
Brayden joined Moonee Valley as a player half way through the 2022/23 season, and has become an integral part of our First Eleven. 

He has played First Eleven cricket for Premier club Carlton, and has been keen to expand his role at Moonee Valley.
His appointment was announced to the players at Ormond Park on March 7 by club Vice-President and 2023/24 coach Mark Gauci.
Gauch was not seeking reappointment as coach, and was actively involved in interviewing Brayden and recommending his appointment to the club executive.
Brayden has been running skills sessions at training throughout the season and has already made an impact on skills development, particularly with the players in the First and Second Elevens.
