Around grounds in Hume and Whittlesea

EDFL

One of Greenvale’s best players is on the move for next year’s Essendon District Football League women’s premier division season. Oak Park has announced that Terira Fry is making the move across to the club for next season. Fry has been a standout for the Jets since joining the club from the Sunbury Lions.

EDFL

Brody White has signed with Craigieburn for next year’s Essendon District Football League division 1 season. White is a former best and fairest winner at the Eagles and returns to the club after spending the past three seasons at North Heidelberg. He was named in the Northern Football League division 1 team of the year the past two years and finished runners-up in the club best and fairest those two years.

Northern FL

Mernda has announced Joe Cali as its coach as it aims to rejoin the Northern Football League women’s competition. Cali brings a wealth of experience and passion for the game, with a strong background in football both on and off the field. “His coaching philosophy focuses on player development, team culture, and high-performance standards — values that align perfectly with our club’s vision for the women’s program,” the Demons said. “We’re thrilled to welcome Joe to the team and look forward to a fantastic 2026 season under his leadership.”

Boxing

Michael Zerafa and Nikita Tszyu will square off in a domestic blockbuster after two of Australian boxing’s biggest names finally reached an agreement to settle a years-long family feud in the ring. A location has yet to be confirmed for the January 16 or 17 bout, but Sydney and Melbourne are unlikely options, with both parties preferring to slug it out in neutral territory. A Zerafa versus Nikita Tszyu stoush has been earmarked ever since both boxers delivered devastating first-round wins on the same card in Sydney in August.
