With a proven track record and a clear vision for the future, we’re thrilled to have Vince continue guiding our club into our 150th year. 2025 Tigers of Old Hall Of Fame Inductee  The Heidelberg Football Netball Club is proud to announce our 2025 Hall of Fame inductee Dale ‘Lofty’ Nolan. Dale’s career was defined by hard work, passion and an unwavering commitment to the game. On the field, he was the kind of player you could count on, always giving his all in every contest, leading by example in some of the club’s toughest battles. Player from 2003-2012 & 2016 186 games, 227 goals 5 x Premiership Player (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009) Best on Ground, 2006 Grand Final Team of the Decade (CHB) HFC Leading Goal Kicker: 2012 HFC MVP (Trevor Barrot Award): 2011 Best & Fairest, Runner Up: 2011 3rd B&F: 2010 2025 Life Members  Heidelberg Football Netball Club is proud to announce our newest Life Members Kerry Bourke & Craig Whitbourne. Kerry has been around the club for almost 50 years, played 107 games before chronic hamstring issues forced him to retire in 1986. After his forced retirement, he did a trainer’s course where he was the main trainer for the next 9 years and also had a lengthy stint on the committee. Kerry is still a loyal supporter of our club today. Craig came to Heidelberg in the early 2000’s and made an instant impact as a very handy role player who often went under the radar of opposition coaches for many years. Craig was a part of the Reserves premiership team in 2004 where he was arguably best on ground that day. His efforts were rewarded in the following years where he played in three senior premiership sides (2006-08). Retiring after playing around 150 games Craig would often help in unpaid assistant coaching roles and player development, he then took on the coaching role of a very unmanned Reserves side which finished bottom in 2012.  He stuck at it and with hard work and player recruitment the following year became the Reserves premiership coach which was a real achievement considering where they finished the previous year. Heidelberg Junior Football Club Grand Finals  IT’S JUNIOR GRAND FINAL WEEK!  On behalf of the Senior club we wish our Youth Boys & Youth Girls the very best of luck for their grand finals this Sunday. With no senior games this weekend, make sure you get along in club colours and support both teams. #Bergs2025 #GoBergs  5G Networks | Morrison Kleeman | Viva La Fruit | Interconnect Healthcare | Reeves Asset Management
