KNIGHTS COMMITTEE
Take a minute to meet the people who volunteer their time to make the Knights experience such a great one. Their tireless work behind the scenes have helped make this one of the biggest junior football clubs in Australia.
Andrew has been a member of the Knights community since his eldest son started playing in 2019 and a part of the junior program since 2016 with his role of co-ordinator at Malvern Districts Auskick. With two more sons and a daughter to come he is sure to remain a member of the community for some time! Having coached for three years and now joining the committee he has a good understanding of what makes the Knights so special. His passion is footy and making sure that every child feels a part of the club, participation in the sport is his main focus. Andrew has so much time to devote to the Knights because his AFL team is the Essendon Bombers and he requires the distraction from two decades of disappointment!
