Kicking goals on and off the field

For nearly a decade, Kedron-Wavell has proudly partnered with the Kedron Lions, a local football club built on community spirit, connection, and a passion for the game.

United by shared values of inclusion, effort, and care, the partnership continues to strengthen social bonds both on and off the field.

At the heart of the Kedron Lions’ mission is a simple but powerful ambition: to build an Australian Rules Football Club that truly serves its community.

“Our core values are teamwork, effort, respect, and fun … and they’re not just words on a wall,” says Glenn Noy, President of the Kedron Lions.

“They guide everything we do, from how we train and play to how we support each other.

“We’re here to offer a place where people grow not just as athletes, but as people.”

“We’re incredibly proud of the football we play and even prouder of the community we’re building together.”

That sense of belonging and purpose is something Kedron-Wavell shares deeply. The partnership is underpinned by a mutual belief in the power of sport to create lasting social impact.

“Sport has an incredible ability to bring people together,” says Vjorn Bradow, General Manager of Kedron-Wavell.

“We’re living in a time where there’s greater awareness of how important health and wellbeing are — and clubs like the Lions play a vital role in that space.”

“The Lions deliver inclusive, community-focused AFL programs that strengthen social connection — goals we are proud to support.”

“Our club has over 100,000 members, and thousands share a connection with the Lions. That says so much about the shared history and values between our two organisations.”

For Glenn, it’s this shared foundation that makes the partnership so meaningful.

“Kedron-Wavell is a values-led organisation, just like us.”

“They’ve stood by us during tough times, backed our growth, and celebrated every win along the way.

“That kind of commitment means everything.”
