About Us

Welcome to Mordi-Brae

MBJFC’s Child Safety Mission Statement: To provide kids a safe, supportive and inclusive environment this develops, promotes and encourages participation in Australian Rules Football.

Playing junior football at Mordi-Brae is a great way for your son or daughter to have fun, make new friends, learn footy skills and play an active role in creating a healthy community.

Mordi-Brae is a member club of the South Metro Junior Football League Players and has teams in the following age groups:
Mixed (boys and girls) – under 8/9/10/11/12/13/14
Girls – under 10/12/14/16/18
Boys – under 15/16/17.5

The club operates teams from Under 8 through to Under 18 and is one of the biggest junior sporting clubs in the City of Kingston.

We are also partners with Parkdale Auskick, for primary school aged children 5 to 12.

Age Groups

Players are allocated to an age group based on their age as at 1 January. For example, players turning 12 in 2018 are eligible to play under 12.

Under 8/9/10/11/12/13/14

Under 10/12/14/16/18

Under 15/16/17.5

From humble beginnings, MBJFC was formed in February 1969 by three thirteen year old boys: Peter Moait, John Ronke & Dean Carroll. In 2018, we celebrated our 50th year!

After starting with only one Under 13 boys side in 1969, in 2018 we anticipate close to 700 players will participate in over 35 teams (including 11 girls only teams!)

We are now the largest football club in the City of Kingston / 4th largest club in the SMJFL which covers 6 Melbourne municipalities.

U12's and U13's Boys & Girls - Save the Date - March 27th

Footy's about kicking goals on and off the field.

And, as part of our ongoing commitment towards mental health, positive club culture, inclusion and participation, we're very excited to kick off the first of our team workshops with our U12s and U13s using the Danny Frawley Centre's Thrive Program.

Play To Your Strengths introduces students to Values In Action Character Strengths in a fun and engaging way.

Through interactive exercises, students learn about the 24 universal character strengths, explore their top strengths and ways they can flex these in all aspects of life as well as gain an insight into the strengths of others.

Date: Monday March 27th
Location: Danny Frawley Centre at RSEA Park, Moorabbin. 

U12s: 4:30-5:30pm
U13s: 5:30-6:30pm

A big thanks to the great work of our CSO Moira Philp and the Danny Frawley Centre, with great support from the City of Kingston.

  • **U12 & U13 Player Streaming Info Session.
Wednesday, 22 February 2023**

⏰ Arrive 7.15pm for a 7.30pm start at Walter Galt Clubrooms 

As players progress through the years at Mordi-Brae, from U12+ where there is more than one team in a particular age group, we apply a streaming process to allocate players to teams.

The objective of player streaming is to give every child the best opportunity to develop as a player and more importantly, to provide optimum game time, engagement and fun.

To provide more detail on how this works, we will be having an Information Night for Parents, specifically for our age groups entering this process for the first time - our U12 and U13 Mixed (Boys) teams.😊

We encourage at least 1 parent from each family to attend. 🔴⚪️
