Can anyone post a short video from an old Fitzroy match (preferably at youtube)? I wasn't a fan of this game when they were a team, so it would be cool to see a good, short fitzroy video.

Go Roys!
Any stuff with the seniors?
Hey Roar, can you find footage of Fitzroy's final victory vs. Freo in 1996?
Some interesting scenes in the vid. The "Brisbane No!" and "F--k the AFL" banners in the crowd. Wonder how those same people felt when the Lions won their first of 3 consecutive flags just 5 years later.Unfortunately I don't have any footage of that happy day, but I do have some footage of Fitzroy's final game in Melbourne - a much sadder occasion for old Roy Boys.
I might be mistaken, but I think the protocol was that fans were only allowed onto the ground for a bit of kick-to-kick AFTER a second siren had sounded, once the ground staff had roped off the center square and the players had left the arena.The other interesting thing was seeing fans allowed out on the ground after the game. I thought that was outlawed yonks ago?
Here's a video to warm the hearts of old Roy Boys everywhere. The frantic final moments of Fitzroy v Collingwood - Round 11, 1992.
I had the privilege of watching this match sitting with the Fitzroy Cheer Squad below the Robert Heatley Stand. Without spoiling the outcome for those who haven't seen this footage, let me just say that this is one my proudest and most cherished memories of the Fitzroy Lions.
Enjoy!

Here's a Fitzroy video made even more poignant with the retirement of Chris Johnson.
Unfortunately my copy of this game finishes with Channel 7's quaint Dean Martin tribute and does not include the haunting rendition of "Auld Lang Sine". However I've grafted on the closing scenes of the "Fitzroy: At Their Best" video which does include the song.
Perhaps Drew Morphett described it best. The passing of Fitzroy was "...the end of an era, the end of an age!"
