<title><![CDATA[Tamanah Rahim]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Tamanah Rahim (under 15&#39;s)

Tammy came to the club through a Community Program, called Count Me in. This is a program headed by Nazish Khan through Merri Health that was set up to introduce migrant women to sports. Tammy went from not knowing Australian Rules Football, to becoming one of her teams most reliable players, and also was the star of some interviews which featured in local publications.

Nickname and why: Tammy, prefer to be called Tammy.
Preferred position: Midfield/Wing
Weird rituals before or during a match: Everyone Muslim or Non-Muslim saying &quot;InshAllah we win!&quot; Reading a book minutes before a game.
Favourite ever AFL footballer and why: None, but I like Carlton and Essendon.
Biggest influence on your football so far: Being determined and inspired by other football teams. They motivate me and build a sense of desire to become like them one day.
Favourite football memory: Whenever one of us gets hurt or injured, the team is always there looking out for us when we need it. Or when the team say rituals and religious duas and words when they are not actually the same religion, it puts a smile to my face and makes be more determined to push to my limits, full capability and potential.
Best player you&rsquo;ve played with and against: I&#39;m not sure, but all players were really good.
Most annoying team mate: Annoying as in making us laugh... it would be Najla Chabaani.
Most reliable team mate: Ellie and Makayla D&#39;angelo .
Most intelligent team mate: I would say Makayla and... Can I say me?&#x1F602; (Yes)
Favourite past time/hobby: Martial arts, working out, writing poems and reading.
Favourite band/musician: Astro, Straykids, Treasure.
Celebrity crush: Ji ChangWook &amp; Seo KangJoon
3 people you would invite to a private dinner, dead or alive: My Mother&#39;s dad (deceased), My mother, My mother&#39;s Mum.
What you miss most about not being able to play footy: It was a chance to workout so I don&#39;t get to do that anymore. I miss laughing and training with my teammates. I miss not being able to play football because it has become a recently new favorite hobby of mine since 2019

<description><![CDATA[Chris Gray

Well done Chris. Chris will add reassurance down back, and a wise calm head, having first broken into senior football, with Fawkner Park at just 16. Chris and his brothers also joined committee this year, taking the next steps, to ensure the next generation of Gray&rsquo;s (Chris&rsquo; son Zac) can continue the family tradition for many years to come.

Mick Caruso- first ever coach and won a premiership in my first year hardest I&rsquo;ve ever trained to this day and it was under 10&rsquo;s. Says a lot about physical and mental toughness. Terry Young- my longest coach and a bloke who gave me confidence and helped me through some tough times growing up.
Favourite football memory? Playing senior football with my two younger brothers.
Best player you&rsquo;ve played with and against? With - Fort Caruso. Against - Cam Cloke/ Corey McGrath

Moey took the Northern Saints community by storm, bursting on to the scene as a 17 year old and capping off a fantastic 2013, by being part of our first and only Senior Premiership. A humble and wise young gentleman, Mohamed can play anywhere, and it is a well known fact Richmond FC superstar Dustin Martin 4 modelled his &lsquo;don&rsquo;t argues&rsquo; on Mohamed&rsquo;s signature move, spending hours watching videos of Mohamed embarrassing his Essendon District Football League opponents.

Nickname and why? Moe, simple &amp; cute
Preferred position? Mid
Weird rituals before or during a match? Saying my goodbyes before going into battle
Favourite ever AFL footballer and why? Bachar Houli , the influence he&rsquo;s had on younger Australian Muslim&rsquo;s and paving the way for other Australia Muslims to play AFL.

Name the one team mate least likely to pay when eating out? Abdul Taleb
Favourite past time/hobby? Walking down by the beach, hearing the splashing of waves, the ocean ever so peaceful, the distant people in the background while I stand there and gaze into the sunset. Alas, something will demand my attention and so I would turn away hoping it won&rsquo;t be my last.
Favourite band/musician? J Cole
Celebrity crush? Demi Lovato
3 people you would invite to a private dinner, dead or alive? Gary Vaynerchuck, Mark Manson &amp; J Cole

Anthony has made an immediate impression at the club in his first year, with his fantastic leadership and dedication.

Weird rituals before or during a match? Weird ritual that seems to happen during every game is that the forward I&rsquo;m playing on doesn&rsquo;t get a kick.
Favourite ever AFL footballer and why? Lenny Hayes: courageous, skilful, consistent, tackling machine and just a no nonsense footballer. I cried when he retired.
Biggest influence on your football so far? My dad because he has never complimented me once in the 13 years I&rsquo;ve played. This hasn&rsquo;t made me strive to be better, just convinced me I&rsquo;m no good.
Favourite football memory? Coming back from 5 goals down at 3 Qtr time to beat Strathmore in my first year of U19s at Paco.
Best player you&rsquo;ve played with and against?
With: Lachie Stredwick (3 u19 bnfs in a row)
Against: Nick O&rsquo;kearney
Funniest team mate? Matty Bennardo (because we laugh at him not with him)
Most annoying team mate? Matty Bennardo
Most reliable team mate? Peter Dispenzeri
Smartest team mate? Daniel Gennaccaro (chubby but knows how to find the ball)
Name the one team mate least likely to pay when eating out? Easy, Matty Bennardo
Favourite past time/hobby?
1. Getting together with mates for a night out
2. Tinder
Favourite band/musician? Me on the dj decks in the backyard
Celebrity crush? Francesca Farago

<description><![CDATA[Matthew Bennardo 
To say he is unique is an understatement. Leading the votes as the club&rsquo;s most annoying team mate speaks volumes of the kid, however, the positive for his team is oppositions find him just as annoying as he provides constant and relentless ball pressure.

Nickname and why? Ferret-because im a nuisance to the opposition (and teammates)
Preferred position? Rover
Weird rituals before or during a match? Filming myself dance
Favourite ever AFL footballer and why? Hodge- breathes success and is a hard nut
Biggest influence on your football so far? My Dad - Peter Bennardo
Favourite football memory? Coming back against Aberfeldie. Had 16 men and were 20 points down, won with the last kick in the pouring rain and hail
Best player you&rsquo;ve played with and against? With- Tamer Abdallah. Against- Cory Mcgrath/Chris Johnson
Funniest team mate? Dougy
Most annoying team mate? Lucas
Most reliable team mate? Haley
Smartest team mate? Dougy
Name the one team mate least likely to pay when eating out? Aaron because he never shows up
Favourite past time/hobby? Gym
Favourite band/musician? J Cole

<description><![CDATA[Aaron D&rsquo;Cruz

Aaron made a great impression in his first season last year after moving across from St. Albans, not only for his playing ability, but also for his leadership and attitude.
Aaron exemplifies the type of people we need at the club to lead our new generation of local football heroes.

Nickname and why? Frozone, because I&rsquo;m mates with Jason aka (Mr Incredible)


Preferred position? Wing/Half Back

Weird rituals before or during a match? I meditate the morning of a match

Favourite ever AFL footballer and why? Luke Hodge because he was an amazing leader and captain probably one of the best. He thrived on the big stage and when games were up for grabs you just knew he&rsquo;d take his game to another level. As courageous and tough as they come. Generational player!

Biggest influence on your football so far? Dad - Wouldn&rsquo;t be where I am today both on and off the field without him.
Brett Kennerley - Gave me a new lease on footy, helped me become a better leader and find the love for the game again

Favourite football memory? Winning my first flag with some of my best mates

Best player you&rsquo;ve played with and against? Played with - Tim Jenkins and Tamer Abdallah. Played against - Lachlan Baddely

Funniest team mate? Nick Bruno! Never met someone so in love with them-self &#x1F923;

Most annoying team mate? Matty Bernardo - says and does some strange things

Most reliable team mate? Pistol

Smartest team mate? Slim pickings here &#x1F923; But would have to say the big polar bear, Jason

Name the one team mate least likely to pay when eating out? Thomas Kosmak loves a free drink so i&rsquo;m sure same applies for food

Favourite past time/hobby? Watching or playing sport and PS4

Favourite band/musician? Coldplay

Celebrity crush? Megan Fox/Scarlett Johansson

3 people you would invite to a private dinner, dead or alive? Kevin Hart, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady

What you miss most about not being able to play footy? Miss being part of a community where I can be both with my mates and play the game i love. It&rsquo;s been a part of my life for so long now, feels a bit empty without it
