CSFC wish to extend our deepest condolences to the Bongiovanni family on the passing of their mother, Jackie.
Jackie spent her Saturdays at the club watching her boys, Mitch and Ant, play every weekend throughout their time at the club. She will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this extremely difficult time. May she rest peacefully 🤍

It was great to have the boys from the @westernbulldogs with some of our juniors last night!
The signatures were flying and the kids were stoked to have a kick with some AFL superstars 🏉
Thanks for coming down and good luck for the season 💪
Great to have a couple more signings for our U18.5 Boys program!
Moving up from the U16’s, Rylee has played over 100 games for CSFC and collected 3x Best & Fairest wins along the way. Off the field, he’s also recommitted to another year of cooking up the best chips in the WFNL 🙌🍟
Since joining us in 2021, Taj has played 50+ games for the club and will look to take the next step in his final year of U18’s footy. We hear his bulldog, Ocean, is stoked with the contract, locking her in for another year of being fed at President’s lunches 🐾😋

The final round of senior practices matches is on tomorrow at the home of the Lakers!
The U18.5 Boys will kick off the morning at 10am in an intra-club match before the Reserves and Senior Men take on Tullamarine in their last hit out before the season commences.
The barbecue will be up and running with egg and bacons for the morning and burgers and snags for the afternoon.
Looking forward to seeing you all at home tomorrow!
‼️‼️‼️ HUGE announcement for your Wednesday evening ‼️‼️‼️
The Electric Eel is BACK! Fitter, faster, stronger and ready to cause havoc 🤯🤯🤯
Harley, time to bring out the wheel💰
We'll be holding fittings for personalised training tops TONIGHT in the clubrooms from 5:30-6:30pm!
General merchandise will be available for sale on Friday night.
Great to have a couple more boys locked in for our U18’s program!
Aiden Smith led the U16 boys as co-captain last year and makes the move up to the 18’s. His hard working, team first mentality will make him a great addition to the squad.
Having joined the Lakers in 2024, Lincoln Jenkins also returns for another year.
Since day one, Lincoln has been a valuable contributor and slot straight into the U16’s Div 1 side. He’s a skilful, passionate and driven player who leaves it all out on the park every week.
Harvey Snooks (aka Big Stix) is another returning player who has played over 100 games for CSFC. Loved by his teammates, he’s a skilful, team first player who will make a big impact in his second year of U18’s footy.

We’re proud to present our senior leaders for 2026!
It’s a new look leadership group for our boys with our very first pair of co-captains in Cooper Pepi and Max Tessari. The experienced pair are joined by several new faces, with Ben Caluzzi serving as Vice Captain and Tate Wood, Steven Kyriazis, Zen Christofi and Ali Bryant completing the group.
