Jets announce first signings

Greenvale has locked in a number of new signings for next year’s Essendon District Football League premier division season, including a favourite son.

The first new signing for the Jets is Matthew Stillman.

StIllman started his career at Greenvale before playing with Pascoe Vale more recently.

“An exceptional leader both on and off the field, Matt embodies the values that define our club- hard work, integrity, and team-first commitment,” the Jets said on social media.

“His character, professionalism, and genuine care for others make him a role model for younger players and a respected figure among his peers.”

Dane Whitnall returns to the EDFL and joins the Jets.

The former Craigieburn player has been playing at North Heidelberg in the Northern Football League and has played in both the Coates Talent League and Victorian Football League.

“Dane is a dynamic key position player capable of making an impact at either end of the ground,” the Jets said.

“Dane’s athleticism, versatility, and footy smarts make him a significant addition to our playing group. His ability to compete in the air and influence contests across the field will play an important role in our team’s success this season.”

Daman Aujla is set to add to the Jets forward line.

The Jets said he is a classy and composed footballer renowned for his elite skills by both hand and foot, consistently making smart decisions and using the ball with precision.

“A damaging goal kicker, Daman has a proven ability to finish his work around goal – whether pushing forward from the midfield or creating opportunities inside 50,” the Jets said.

“He plays with a high level of consistency and demands the best of himself every week, setting a strong example for those around him. Daman’s professionalism, poise, and football IQ make him an exciting addition to our club and a genuine game-changer in our lineup.”

Logan McDonald is the other new signing announced by the Jets so far.

He joins the club from Russells Creek where he won a league best and fairest.

“A hard-running, goal-kicking midfielder, Logan brings elite endurance, creativity, and a strong work ethic to our midfield group,” the Jets said. “His ability to break lines and hit the scoreboard makes him a dynamic addition to our team.”
