❤️💙 Vale Craig “Derro” Derrick ❤️💙

The tribe at MEFNC farewells one of its true Redlegs.

Craig “Derro” Derrick passed away peacefully last Thursday surrounded by his family and love.

A former firefighter, Life Member, player, coach, volunteer and mate to so many, Derro wore the Redlegs jumper from 1985 to 2004, playing more than 150 games and later coaching our Reserves across five seasons. His commitment to the club was recognised with Life Membership in 2000, but those who knew him know his greatest contribution wasn’t measured in games or titles.

Derro was simply one of the great club men.

He loved the Redlegs. He loved a beer, a laugh and a story. He was passionate, loyal, larger than life and made everyone around him feel welcome. Whether you played alongside him, were coached by him, or shared a drink after the game, you came away with a smile. As so many have said over the past day, he was one of the best on and off the field.

Craig is now reunited with his beloved Sue, and our thoughts are with Corie, Brook, Steph, Tye and the entire Derrick family, who have all been cherished members of the Redlegs community for many years.

Thank you, Derro, for everything you gave our club and the people in it. Your stories, your laughter and your unwavering love for the Redlegs will never be forgotten.

Rest peacefully Derro.

Once a Redleg, Always a Redleg. ❤️💙🫡 ... See MoreSee Less

🦋💛 LOVE FOR BELLA ROUND 💛🦋

This Saturday, we invite our entire Mt Eliza community players, families, supporters and friends to come together in a sea of yellow for a day that is deeply close to our hearts, Love for Bella Day.

Bella Allan wasn't just a cherished Redleg. She was a shining light, a fierce competitor and a courageous little lady who battled leukaemia for seven years . Bella sadly passed away in 2022, but her strength, kindness and unwavering love for our club continue to inspire us every day.

💛 This weekend, wear yellow, Bella's favourite colour, as we celebrate her life and the incredible impact she had on everyone who knew her.

Together, we'll honour Bella's memory, wrap our arms around the Allan family, and celebrate the love, unity and resilience that make our club so special.

Whether you're pulling on the Redlegs jumper, stepping onto the netball court or cheering from the sidelines, we ask you to carry Bella's spirit with you. Let's turn the grounds golden and show the Allan family just how much Bella continues to mean to our club and community. 💛
