Vale Damien Christensen

AFL Barwon extends its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Damien Christensen, a highly respected figure in our football community.

Damien’s impact across the region and beyond was significant. At GFL senior level, he coached Lara FNC (1992–93), St Joseph’s FNC (1997) and Newtown & Chilwell FNC (2016), earning widespread respect for his leadership and commitment to his clubs.

He was also the head coach of the Geelong Falcons 2000 premiership side, where he played a vital role in developing young footballers and guiding many along the elite pathway.

Damien’s involvement in the game extended to the VFL, where he represented Geelong as a player across 17 games, before continuing his coaching career with Williamstown and Box Hill.

He will be remembered as a valued contributor to the Geelong region as a coach, player and mentor who gave so much to football and the wider community.

On behalf of AFL Barwon, we acknowledge Damien’s outstanding contribution to the game and honour his memory. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
