History
The club was founded in 1967 as under aged club that developed young boys in footballers. By 1970 there was enough support for the fielding of a senior side in the Eastern Football League. The club spent its first seven years down the bottom of the 3rd Division ladder.
In 1978 the club played finals for the first time. With yearly improvements and finals until the ultimate breakthrough in 1984 when the club won its first senior premiership defeating The Basin by 32 points.
The club has played the last few years in Division 4 making finals on numerous occasions and runners up in a number of grand finals. Matt Carnelley was an overnight sensation when he kicked 22 goals against Nunawading. Later in the year he kicked 24 goals against the same opposition to set a new league record.

Justin Scicluna
Senior Coach
My name is Justin Scicluna and I have been involved with coaching football since I was 18 years olds (so 15 years). I began coaching at the Knox Junior Football Club where I grew up playing my junior footy. I learnt so many valuable lessons in my 11 years of coaching juniors that I still implement and use today. Whilst I was coaching juniors I was presented with the opportunity to get involved with coaching senior football. From that point on, I have been involved either as a Senior Assistant Coach or Head Coach. Coaching in itself is a tough gig but, it offers up challenges and rewards. That is why I enjoy it so much.
I have been at the Forest Hill Football Netball Club for 13 years now. This club is like a second home to me, somewhere that I walk in and out with a smile. The people who are involved with this club make it the awesome place that it is. The culture is infectious and it's an environment that draws you in for the long run.
My coaching philosophy is very much built around the concept of hard work puts you on to the path of success. It's something that I believe strongly in and have preached to all the teams I have coached. Nothing is deserved, it must be earned!
My Assistant coaches for season 2022 are Manny De Bono and Kevin Bentley. Both men are teachers of the game and bring a sound level of knowledge and experience which will enable the fast tracking of development for our youth.
I wish everyone all the best in season 2022. Go Zebs
