I’m nervous for this one. During the early 2000’s I was an angry young man and everything was still too raw for me to really enjoy the wins. Sure I wanted the Lions to win for all the fans who’d been through so much (on both sides) and seeing the colours and the Lion on the big stage was a...

Premier A is very good. But having watched the Lions v Werribee VFL Prelim live and the VFL GF on TV it certainly doesn’t look to me like the quality has dropped so far in the VFL to put it below Premier A.

The first quarter had me believing, but it was always going to be a tough ask.

League Tees and Fitzroy have a new Fitzroy fundraising T-shirt out. I reckon this design is even better than last years, but less face it, I'm a sucker for retro style Fitzroy T-shirts. https://www.leaguetees.com.au/product/fitzroy-football-club-retro-athletic-shirt-official-2021-fundraiser-tee/

A bit left field, but contacting Dyson directly might be worthwhile. I doubt he's got any copies lying around and he's probably done enough interviews to last a lifetime. But as a high profile member of the legal profession he's not too hard to track down contact details for, and you never know...

I've generally thought the fairest option in 1996 if the AFL were dead set on having to knife a Melbourne based club (as if that's solved the crazy imbalance in the AFL that still exists 25 years later), would have been to buy out Fitzroys AFL Licence and allow them to continue in their own...

Your contribution to keeping the faith alive is worth more than money could buy anyway.

Real life, honest to goodness football, played for Premiership points returns to the Brunswick Street Oval this week so I thought I'd start a 2021 season thread. VAFA website fixture/ladder/results page The Senior Men's & Women's sides will be competing in their respective VAFA Premier B grade...

They split from the Uni in 1997 and became the Fitzroy Reds. The merged with the Fitzroy Football Club at the end of 2008 and have operated as the 'Fitzroy Football Club Ltd incorporating Fitzroy Reds' since the 2009 season. It's all explained in much more detail than anyone could ever need...

Here's a follow up article from The Age with what appears to me to be a pre-FFC merger pic of the Fitzroy Reds. Note the red shorts / all red socks and lack of hipsters on the hill in the background. It's been a while since we've hosted South Melbourne Districts at the BSO too.

Many is the bigfooty poster who's brought themselves undone posting after a few of the cordials. I've seen a little backtracking from the council saying that meeting diversity & inclusion targets will lower the cost on clubs. I know that the clubs based out of the BSO would be better placed...

Thanks for starting this threat, beat us Fitzroy forum locals to it. Here's links to some media articles about what's going on: The Age A very well written piece by local Richard Hinds. 3AW Includes a clip of an interview with FFC President Joan Eddy. Herald Sun

Yarra Libraries have tweeted that they have a collection of Fitzroy Football Club paraphernalia that was donated to them 15 years ago that has just been put on display at the Fitzroy Library.

As a football lover I'm concerned about the further desecration of the historic VFA and any negative effects removing the top clubs could have on the development of football in Queensland and New South Wales. But as a Lions fan living in Victoria I'm really looking forward to the prospect of...

During lockdown I've collected FitzroyPete's "Fitzroy's Fabulous Century", Russell Holmsby's "The Death of Fitzroy" and Adam Muyt's "Maroon and Blue" does anyone have any other Fitzroy themed reading recommendations?

Fitzroy Football Club has just announced a new fundraising T-shirt being produced in collaboration with the excellent League Tees. Visitors to this board may already be familiar with some of the other Fitzroy themed stuff that League Tees produce. As far as I'm aware this is the first thing...

G'Day Runk and Oprah, it's great to meet you.

I'm not sure I'll be around enough to justify a spot, and my retirement did seem to lead to a premiership so I'm not sure I want to mess with that.

The whole joy of the Roys is we don't have to remember anything, Mobbs does that for us. It's seems like most of the highly active posters from my time are still around.

It's been a few years and I have no idea who's around these day and what's going on. But Go Roys!!!

Well said 3KZ. It's refreshing to read a book that has a focus on the positives of Fitzroy's history. Pete has done a hell of a research job and uncovered some really cool stuff that is well worth a read for anybody with an interest in Fitzroy's history.

Rory won BOG

100’s up, the Roy’s are home!

Last one was a point off the boot. Swung a mile.

Finals? I think I remember hearing about them.

A full season out of Pickering would be huge. But not something that can be taken for granted.

Hey Roy's, it's been a while since I've been here, how's the club going these days?

In hindsight it was probably the games I skipped that caused the issue. But the boys assured me nobody noticed the difference in my contribution on field.

Can't a man skip training for a quick little six months and keep his spot any more?

I knew making up numbers would catch up with him eventually.
