Round 10 VAFA Men’s Rising Star: Keanu Nadji

The VAFA congratulates Keanu Nadji from Beaumaris Football Club, who has been nominated as the Round 10 VAFA Men’s Rising Star.

Keanu was among the best in Beaumaris’ 55-point victory over Old Melburnians in Premier B Men’s on the weekend, collecting 15 disposals, 5 tackles, 1 goal and 75 ranking points.

What the club said:

Keanu Nadji, a Sandy Dragons aspirant, has made a strong move in his football development, transitioning across to further advance his game. Now a development player on Sandringham’s VFL list, he has built a reputation at Foundary (Athlete Development) as one of the hardest workers in the program.

Known for his toughness and relentless competitiveness, Keanu was named among the best players on the weekend while stepping in as a mobile second-ruck option. His willingness to compete and embrace whatever role is asked of him has been highly valued by the group.

There’s no doubt bigger opportunities lie ahead for Keanu, and his recent form is a well-deserved reward for the commitment and progress he’s made in establishing himself as a quality senior footballer.
