Kylie Da Fonte is the only female in the MHSOB Hall of Fame, in 2020 the VAFA awarded her with a certificate of merit for her services to her local club but also to the time and dedication she has put into the Big V program.

Da Fonte has been part of state representative sides for over 2 decades, a role she initially undertook alongside her dad. 

For many VAFA players who've worn the Big V in recent times, they no doubt will have been treated and looked after at some stage by Da Fonte.
