Peter Greenstreet: Life Member
It’s set to be a huge year off the field and we’re rapt to share an early major announcement with the news that Peter Greenstreet has been inducted as the 107th life member of Mulgrave Football Club.
Life membership is our highest individual recognition, reserved for those who serve the club with distinction over an extended period of time. Peter has done that as a player, coach and volunteer since arriving at the club in 2010.
Peter played for the club in 2010 and 2011, becoming a senior premiership player in his first season. He returned to the club as senior coach in 2016-17. Finally, he has served as a committee member and one of the driving forces behind our coterie group, the Mully Grubs, since its inception in 2020. The Mully Grubs have brought a tremendous amount to the footy club through their efforts in fundraising, engaging past players and driving support for the club.
Organising a group like the Mully Grubs and its various events is no small effort, and we’re indebted to Peter and his fellow committee members for their work in pulling things together each and every year. The Annual Golf Day has absolutely thrived under their watch, becoming an enormous day on the calendar, so it was fitting that we took the opportunity to present Greeny with his life membership at Friday’s event.
Peter is the type of person that a football club is very, very lucky to have – not just through his presence, but his willingness to put his hand up and work on making the club a better place.
Thanks so much for all your efforts mate.
Please join us in congratulating Greeny on his life membership, and thanking him for his ongoing work for our club.
2025 player leaders
Some announcements regarding leadership roles for 2025 have been made...
SENIORS
Senior co-captain Sam Kassianou has indicated he will step down from the captaincy role.
Sam became senior captain in 2022 with big shoes to fill as he followed club champion Dean Siakoulis in the role. He has always been a leader at Mulgrave and he took this to another level as captain, driving high standards both on and off the ground.
Sam led the club back to the finals in 2023 and repeated that in 2024. His ability to demand and inspire more from his teammates has been a key part of this resurgence.
It's typical of Sam's selfless nature that he always has an eye to the future. He welcomed Connor Tilyard as senior co-captain in 2024 and now feels the time is right to hand the baton over.
"It's been an incredible honour to captain this club and not one that I ever thought I'd get the chance to do," said Sam.
"Sometimes you know it's time and that's now. Connor continues to grow and he's a fine leader already. I won't be going anywhere and look forward to supporting him as a sounding board for years to come."
Sam certainly isn't leaving us! In addition to pulling the boots on, he has been appointed as an assistant to Senior Coach Matt Richards. Sam is a complete natural and he will add a lot of value to the coaching group. Congrats Kass!
Connor Tilyard will assume the senior captaincy of Mulgrave in his own right in 2025. A graduate of Glen Waverley Rovers and Eastern Ranges, Connor has achieved so much in just four seasons of senior footy as a two-time senior B&F winner. More than just a star midfielder, Connor's leadership skills have been obvious since the beginning and it's a thrill to see him as club captain in our centenary year. Well done Connor.
Alex Hardie has been appointed Senior Vice Captain of the club for 2025. Alex came to Mulgrave in 2023 and quickly won the respect of all. Alex is clearly a natural leader and is quick to take the initiative, rallying others to do the same. In just two years he has already put his stamp on the club and he'll make an excellent vice captain.
RESERVES
In great news, our reserves leaders will remain unchanged with Rob Blew (captain) and Mitch Peddle (Vice Captain) once again leading the boys out.
Rob and Mitch are both great Mulgrave people from great families. They bring a perfect blend of leadership, experience, relatability and personality to these roles, which are important in helping to develop many of our young players.
UNDER 19.5
Oscar Bartlett has been re-appointed Under 19.5 captain for 2025. Oscar was an obvious choice after doing a fantastic job as captain in 2024. He’s an emerging player and leader within the club and we’re rapt to have him leading our colts team again this season.
Jacob Ware-Drakeford has been appointed Under 19.5 Vice Captain. Like Oscar, Jacob is yet another product of the Glen Waverley Rovers Junior Football Club footy factory and first played for Mulgrave in 2023. He put in a fantastic year of footy in 2024 and has been a very bright spark across the 2025 pre-season, where his work ethic has stood out. Jacob has natural leadership qualities and will do a great job as vice captain.
Please join us in congratulating Sam, Connor, Alex, Rob, Mitch, Oscar and Jacob on their roles for 2025. Go well fellas!
