The GDFNL would like to extend our sincere thanks

The GDFNL would like to extend our sincere thanks to Music Workshop for their outstanding support and partnership over the past 11 years.

Music Workshop has played a key role in filming our senior games, maintaining and restoring our broadcast truck, and providing invaluable editing for tribunal hearings since 2015.

More recently, they have live streamed our A Grade netball finals, and in 2025, made history by filming all 12 grand finals.

This was a first for the Geelong region 🎥

On behalf of the GDFNL’s executive, clubs, sponsors, commentators and supporters, thank you for 11 years of exceptional service 👏

When outgoing Winchelsea senior president Daniel G

When outgoing Winchelsea senior president Daniel Greskie was asked to attend this year’s presentation evening he was asked to prepare a toast for league president Neville Whitley OAM.

To Daniel’s shock, he was inducted as the final GDFNL life member for the evening following 300-game qualifiers Jackson MacLeod, Naomi Baker, Michelle Hammond (Thomson), Justine Radford (East Geelong), Genna Gomez (North Geelong) as well as long serving Thomson official Craig Jacka.

Daniel fulfilled his duty shortly after accepting his GDFNL life member pin - honouring Neville’s 41 seasons in the top job 🥂
