The Moonee Valley Football Club wishes to inform all members and supporters that Senior Men’s Coach Ian Denny has advised he has decided to step down at the conclusion of the 2024 season after three years at the helm.

Ian has done a terrific job guiding this playing group as they made the move up to Division 1 in 2022 whilst also providing a number of U18 players with their senior opportunities, helping build valuable experience.

Under his leadership, the team has fostered a great culture of growth and development, ensuring the future success of the Club.

Ian is a valued life member, member of the team of the century, a premiership player and coach, and a multiple best and fairest winner.

His dedication to the Club both on and off the field has left an indelible mark, and his legacy will undoubtedly inspire future generations of players.

MVFC President Michael Milne said: “On behalf of the Moonee Valley Football Club, I wish to thank Ian for his outstanding services over the past three years as Senior Coach.

“To have such a stalwart of this great Club leading this playing group has been invaluable – his knowledge and experience of the game will be really missed.

“We love Ian’s commitment and passion for Moonee Valley, and we are deeply grateful for his contributions. There’s no doubting the black and white runs through his veins.”

All past players and supporters are encouraged to get to Ormond Park on Saturday, 10 August to celebrate Eggers’ last home game as Coach.

The Club will now commence a process to recruit a new senior men’s coach. For those interested in applying for the role they are encouraged to contact the Club via Michael Milne (0412 332 207) or emailing info@mooneevalleyfc.com.au.
