COBRAS SALUTE: at the YJFL league B&F awards today the Cobras celebrated a huge showing with two players winning their division league B&F - Rachael Bullock (U12G D1) and Jacob Yeung (U13 D2), and two finishing runner up - Ben Chippindall (u12 D3) and Conor O’Brien (U13 D2). An incredible testament to the talent and hard work from these players and the supportive coaching and team environment at the Cobras. Further achievement to celebrate was u12 (premiership winning) coach Dave Chippindall being named a finalist in the Junior Coach of the Year award. 2027 season can’t come soon enough!!

CLUB CHAMPIONS! - at the Cobras presentation day last week the club recognized some of our players who have demonstrated sustained excellence and leadership over multiple seasons. The girls Rising Star was jointly awarded to Harriet Credlin, Rachael Bullock and Imogen Borrello from the girls u12 team. Co-winners of the boys rising star award were Finn Steinfort and Ben Chippindall (whose u12 mixed team also just won the Div 3 premiership). Finally the Club Champion award was won by Mitch Vogdanos & Eric Plant. Former Cobras and current AFL stars rowelly18 and sam_grilla LJ both won each of these awards, suggesting the sky is the limit for these worthy winners

Finally, May Rowell was the third person inducted yesterday as a life member of the Cobras! Matt Rowell started his football journey at the Canterbury Cobras in the Tackers in 2009,
playing more than 125 games through to the Under 14s before moving to the
Boroondara Hawks.
Matt represented the Cobras with great distinction, winning six Club B&F, five YJFL league B&F,, our clubs U12Rising Star Award and U14 Club Champion Award.
He went on to represent the YJFL, Victoria, the Oakleigh Chargers and Vic Metro,
earning All-Australian honours before being selected by the Gold Coast Suns with the
number one pick in the AFL Draft. In 2025 he won the Brownlow Medal. Listening to Matt’s Brownlow speech and hearing him acknowledge what this club
meant to him was an incredibly proud moment for everyone at the Cobras, and he helped Cobras everywhere stand just a little taller. He is remembered as someone who always put his team first, remained grounded,
listened, showed respect and was incredibly kind to everyone around him.
Matt has shown every young player at our club what hard work, determination and
character can achieve.

COBRAS FOR LIFE!! at yesterday‘s season presentation day, we were thrilled to introduce three new CJFC Life Members, showing a different side of what it takes to build and sustain the Cobras community.

The Credlin family was honoured following myriad contributions including sustained service as club secretary (Kate), assistant coaches (tom, Lulu), playing excellence (Harriet, Tom) and years of contributions steering a cohort of boys from U8 through to the first every Youth team fielded by the Cobras (Nigel, Tom, Kate).

PRIDE OF THE SNAKEPIT - this season the cobras fielded a team in the Youth age group for the first time in 20 years. The boys have had an exceptional year, finishing 3rd and certainly have got comfortable with a tight game, having played in two draws in the last 3 weeks! Maybe this was the difference - after a very tight first half, the Youth boys lifted their output and were clearly the better team, running out comfortable winners by 14 points. Every chance now against Banyule in the preliminary final next week! GO COBRAS!! 🐍

ROCKIN IT - after going 1-1 against Brunswick through the regular season, Chris Angus’ girls faced off for a third time in the first semifinal of Division 1 U12 girls against Brunswick. After establishing an early lead, their opponents fought hard and the cobras found themselves behind at 3QT. A special last quarter saw them kick 2 goals to a solitary behind and the girls were singing the song loudly after the final siren! They take on Fitzroy next week in the prelim. Go get ‘em!!!

GRANNY BOUND - after winning the last seven games of the season, the Cobras u12 mixed team finish top of the ladder. In the second semifinal, they played a high-quality match against Preston, who they had not defeated through the regular season. After lead by a solitary goal at 3QT they finally converted their dominance in regular play to run away to a convincing victory and book themselves a spot in the grand final in a fortnight. Super proud of you boys, and good luck in the big dance!
