Meet our Committee

CO-PRESIDENT

This is Nick’s 2nd year as President following a super exciting 2024 when he first joined the committee.  In his Co-President role, Nick will focus on supporting the ‘front office’ areas of the MJFC including footy operations across both girls and boys teams. He has been involved as a coach with the Beena Lionesses over a number of years and his daughters Daisy, Jess & Frankie all play at the club.

Nick is a Fremantle supporter, although hopes Murrumbeena will continue to be far more successful. He also enjoys being involved within the community and spending time with family.

CO-PRESIDENT

Nathan, Cathy, Jack, Henry and Teddy joined the MJFC in 2021 when the twin tornadoes started in Under 8's.  In 2025 he will have 2 boys in U12’s with Teddy starting his journey in U8’s.

In his Co-President role, Nathan will focus on supporting the ‘back office’ areas of the MJFC including handling the role of Registrar as well as Events Manager.

Like all good Geelong folk, Byrnsey is a Cats supporter and when not involved in junior footy, the Byrne crew like to escape in their caravan for both on and off-grid adventures.

SECRETARY

Gillian has been a member of the MJFC since 2017 when her children started Auskick.

Gillian enjoys being part of this engaging community and is looking forward to the season ahead, cheering on the teams down at Beena Arena.

INCIDENT, COMPLAINCE & CHILD SAFETY OFFICER

Campbell (Cam) has a passion for seeing the club thrive as a place where our community can connect through footy.

Cam has previously volunteered as Auskick coach, surviving all that the kinder kids can muster. He is now looking forward to his sons, Myles and Spencer playing in U12’S and U18's this year.

Known for his prowess with tongs in hand, Cam is often seen helping out with a sausage sizzle at club events.

MERCHANDISING MANAGER

Cathy first got involved with the MJFC in 2021 when her twins started playing in the U8s. As a mum of three active boys, she has accepted that all her weekends will be dedicated entirely to kids’ sports and what better way to experience that than as part of the fabulous Beena community.

Cathy’s role as Merchandising Manager brings her love of retail together with her love of details and organisation. Expert multi-tasker and self-confessed neat freak, she is never more in her element than making to-do lists and getting things done.

She enjoys coffee catch-ups, quality time with family and friends, and cheering on from the sidelines at Beena Arena.

HEAD OF GIRLS FOOTY

Chloe has been involved with Murrumbeena JFC since 2017 when her son Rory played his first season. Chloe was the team trainer up until 2022 when she took on the girls coaching role for her daughter Billie's team.

In 2017, Chloe played for the Murrumbeena Footy Club's women's 2017 premiership side and loves being involved in local footy in every way, shape and form.

When not at Beena, Chloe is supporting the mighty Richmond Tigers, and is looking forward to a big season of footy with both clubs!

COACHING COORDINATOR

Jim has been actively engaged with the MJFC for the last 5 years, chasing his two boys from Auskick through to Under 14’s (and counting).  This is Jim’s 3rd year on the committee.

Passionate about our coaching philosophy which is focused on having fun, equal game time and inclusiveness, Jim is looking forward to supporting some of the best parent coaches in the league.

As well as being a Tiger’s man, Jim loves his international sports and is an avid supporter of Arsenal, Miami Heat & the Dolphins. He enjoys nothing more than chasing a little white ball around 18 holes and the ice cold beverage that awaits at the 19th!

INCIDENT, COMPLIANCE & CHILD SAFETY OFFICER

Kevin first got involved in the MJFC back in 2018 as a coach via Auskick and this has continued into 2025.

His partner Chelsea, super mum to their 3 boys Raff, Lenny and Myles, all love their sport including footy, as well as the Murrumbeena community and the friends they have made. Both Raff and Lenny will be playing for the MJFC in 2025.

2023 was Kevin’s first year on the committee. In his spare time, he loves going surfing, snowboarding or hiking.  Feel free to say hello over a beer or soft drink.

JUNIOR/SENIOR CLUB LIAISON

Lee has been involved with the Beena community since his son Jack started playing U8s in 2021.

The community feel of MJFC instantly reminded Lee of the small country town football club he grew up with. He is excited his family will get to continue to experience this sense of community with MJFC.

Living across the road from the oval (good and bad thing!), Lee has hung up his ‘canteen boots’ and looks forward to developing an even stronger relationship between the junior and senior clubs at Beena Arena.

EVENTS COORDINATOR

Lou has been involved with Beena junior footy for 12 years, starting with Auskick in 2012.  All 3 of her boys have played footy at Beena, with her youngest playing U13 this year.

Having done 2 separate stints on the committee previously and being a TM for the last 3 years, Louise looks forward to continuing to support our friendly and family orientated community club.

SPONSORSHIP MANAGER

Matt joined the committee in 2024 following his eldest daughter Sophie joining the Lionesses midway through 2023.

He is excited to be part of the club and loves the energy and environment that has been created at MJFC.

Having lived in the area for more than 15 years, he looks forward to spending time with some old friends and building sponsorship and support for the club.

TRAINER COORDINATOR

Paul has been a member of the Beena community since 2014 from when his son Kadyn started Auskick.

Over the years, Paul has been involved in the MJFC as an assistant coach and more recently as the club’s Trainer Coordinator.

Paul is a sports tragic and his three club loves of Carlton, Jazz and Renegades are all going through a rough patch but he is hopeful there are better days ahead.

He's looking forward to seeing some new and old faces and families down at the club at their schmick new stadium.

TREASURER

Peter Milus joined the MJFC committee as Treasurer of the club in 2020 and has been part of the MJFC community since his oldest son Oliver started Auskick in 2016.

His youngest son Maxwell is also now a proud player for the club and, while the household is divided between the Saints and the Hawks, everyone equally shares the passion for footy and MJFC! Outside footy, Peter is actively involved in junior basketball with both of his sons (again divided between 2 clubs to make things interesting!) and with, any free time left over, actively chasing beach and snow activities across the year.

HEAD OF GRANT SUBMISSIONS

Rick has been a familiar face around MJFC for several years and is often seen at Beena Arena on a Sunday chasing the leather, reliving his youth. 

With 2 kids immersed in the club, Olivia has just completed her first season with the U10 Lionesses and Hugo is about to start his journey in the U8’s.

Having most recently run the Auskick program for the Murrumbeena area, Rick brings with him knowledge and understanding on community and kids sport.

He is looking forward to undertaking this newly created role on the committee and working with the local and broader community to help secure / identify opportunities relating to grants.

TEAM MANAGER COORDINATOR

Scott has been involved in local footy for some years, starting when his kids joined Auskick.

He then became involved when his oldest son joined the U/8's for Murrumbeena and joined the committee of MJFC in season '23.

When not assisting where he can in local footy, Scott has undertaken Team Manager responsibilities for his son's U/11 cricket team, whilst also assisting with local cricket Blaster programmes.

Scott is now considered a long-suffering Bombers supporter, just hoping that his children get to see Essendon return to their once-former glory.

HEAD OF SOCIALS

Zoe started her footy career at Beena in 2019 and has proudly won two flags since.  She can play wherever you need her on the field, and also loves representing her school in their first 18 AFLW team. 

She has also had multiple high-performance experiences with the Next Generation Academy, Sandringham Dragons and the Oakleigh Chargers. Last season, she was the assistant coach for the U10 Lionesses, which fuelled her passion for developing girls' footy.

In the off season she’s most likely down in Anglesea on surf patrol with mates enjoying the sun and salty water or reading a good book!!She’s also excited to be the club's new Social Media Manager and is currently studying media at school in Year 12, blending her love for the game and club with her passion for videography and online communication.  She is looking forward to contributing to Beena both on and off the field!!
