Ormond Park continues to play a critical role in delivering football/soccer across our community. We are grateful for every ground allocated to us throughout Moonee Valley, but Ormond Park is a site of significant historical importance; it is our home and is not easily replaced.

Ormond Park has been the home of Essendon Royals since 1963. In February, part of the pavilion roof collapsed, and the Council has advised club representatives that it has decided to demolish the building, end our tenancy and move our teams off Ormond Park.

530+ of you have already signed. Now we are asking the rest of our community to stand with us. Sign the petition here: app.essendonroyals.com.au/petition

@mivkaa Especially when they literally had a week off LAST week for regrading (at least in Community football).

Is there anything more Australian football than having grassroots games on today? Wouldn’t happen in any other country around the world, only in Australia 🤦‍♂️

The Aussies are back! 🇦🇺 #FIFAWorldCup

I don't think Popovic could have written a better script for that game if he tried to. Credit to him and his team, exceptionally well drilled and clinical at the right times. Proven right with some of his braver selections, too. 👏👏 #AUS #FIFAWorldCup

Moonee Valley City Council plans to demolish the Ormond Park soccer club pavilion and move Essendon Royals off our home of more than 60 years at the end of 2026. Read the club's full statement: app.essendonroyals.com.au/news/6609

Bruno equalling the assists record in a season he spent a major chunk playing as a six is wild. What a player. #MUFC

While we're debating decisions...

It's wild to think that if Ruben Amorim had not basically forced the #MUFC executive's hand to fire him (after all the poor performances and results they backed him through), we could very well have been choosing his very narrow view of football over a home-grown talent like Kobbie Mainoo. I still find it mind-boggling that he could not find a role for him in his system, nor that his system (which had TWO 10s) still resulted in Fernandes playing as 10. Carrick's #MUFC not perfect, but with a flawed squad, he's gotten the absolute best out of his best players, and that's papered over the cracks in the squad's deficiencies. The carrot of #UCL football will hopefully give the club - and whoever it chooses to be its manager (would have to be a pretty special manager to justify not giving it to Carrick though) the opportunity to attract the calibre of player required to help this squad transition for top-four contention to title challengers.

"Adversity presents an opportunity for growth." Club champions and new Head Coach Andy Vargas spoke to club media about his everlasting fondness for the club and the challenge ahead. Get behind Andy and the boys tomorrow night when we take on Preston Lions!

Welcome home, Andy Vargas! Green Gully is delighted to announce the appointment of Andy Vargas as our Senior Head Coach for the remainder of the 2026 season. Read more: greengullysc.com.au/andy-vargas-an…

I'm delusional enough to believe that with Champions League and a decent window #MUFC could return to title contention next season but it really would be a great injustice of Bruno finishes his United career without a title. What a player.

It's a huge homecoming weekend for our Senior Women! We take on Melbourne City on Saturday in our first proper home game of 2026. Look out for the full club update with President Vitale Ferrante in your inboxes 📩

The grass really is greener on the other side! We're so excited to be back at Cross Keys Reserve this weekend. Men v Whittlesea on Friday. Women v City on Saturday. Snippet from our club update with Club Prez Vitale Ferrante. Members, full chat heading to inboxes this week.

Home, sweet home 🏠 For the first time in 2026, it's gameday at Cross Keys Reserve! 8:30pm kickoff against Whittlesea United. Let's go! 🔥

Small update on this one. After almost 90 minutes of debate, Councillors did vote to go ahead with the contract to put the lights in at JH Allan. It's incredible that we had to rally so many members as part of the advocacy effort for work that was contracted. If you're a true sicko and want to see the debate, it's actually pretty entertaining in parts. youtube.com/watch?v=7GB0tY… Debate runs from about 61 minutes to 2h 20 minute mark.

@Warbraindrew @footballvic Moonee Ponds United. Royals use it in extended season before we get Cross Keys back for YPL juniors and sometimes seniors. But it's considered Moonee Ponds home ground

@mg91 @footballvic Which club plays there Matthew?

Honestly, it's stupid that this even needs to be done, but if all football supporters in Vic, and in particular Melbourne's North-West, could get onto this petition from @footballvic, that would be great. The J H Allan Reserve needs lighting to keep up with the football demand c.org/zpvBJVLz via @ChangeAUS The project was passed at Budget, was voted on and passed again to award the contract, before the same Councillors who voted it in, decided to pause it at the 11th hour, risking ratepayer money and the council's reputation with contractors.
