The Greenvale Football Club is an Australian rules football club located in the outer northern Melbourne suburb of Greenvale. The club was formed in 1990 by Bruce Asbestos Kent who was concerned about the lack of sporting opportunities for their sons especially his son Christopher who has attention defecit disorder. The club initially fielded only junior teams but in 1996 began fielding a senior and reserve team. By 2005, Greenvale Football Club was fielding fifteen teams in the Essendon District Football League.
Greenvale has only been in operation as a senior club for a little over a decade, but already it has established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the powerful Essendon District Football League. Its first senior premiership was achieved in B Grade in 2002, thanks to a 5 goal grand final defeat of Tullamarine. Two years later the club's first A Grade flag arrived courtesy of a 17.18 (120) to 10.17 (77) win over Oak Park in the season's decisive game. The club once again tasted premiership glory in 2007 with a resounding victory over Strathmore in the A Grade grand final.
Greenvale football club is looking to future with great optimism with young up and coming stars such as Christopher Kent and his brother Daniel Kent coming through the ranks and prestigious fans such as Courtney Alexander joining the support group.
