    Historical Society

    Thommo was hilarious. His best contribution to Fitzroy was when the boys were travelling to practice at the Brunswick St ground and a skinny U19 kid was thumbing a lift. Thommo said that they should pass him by. He's too skinny he'll never play senior football. Turned out the kid did play senior...

    Fitzroys Future

    Good post Shaz. As long as the Club continues on anything can happen. Football is changing each season and its not out of the question that the FFC could be in a position to field its own team in the VFL. But they won't be playing at Brunswick St. That's the home of the FFC Juniors & the Reds...

    Funny Story from 1996

    Magic story Tim. Just goes to show that Alan had a few brains but "Mick" didn't really get it did he. At the Reds we don't have a video of the game against Bulleen Temp next week and if the coach had one, the boys would be heading flat out for the Newry anyway! You should really write a book...

    Don't worry Tim. The pic will be on the Fitzroy website. What a day. Who said Fitzroy had gone! We might be in a nursing home but we are still in football.

    Time for this Board to Close?

    Good on you Mappa. Actually our debt was a poultry 2mill and you can get that from the AFL hardship fund for poor clubs now! ( Reds should apply for Some.) Who cares, all I know is that the only football clubs from C'wood to Royal Park are the Fitaroy Junior Fc & the Fitzroy Reds. (Sponsored...

    Time for this Board to Close?

    Why should our Board be closed. Our Club has just had successful talks with the Brisbane Lions to wear our heritage jumper against Hawthorn at the G. We mightn't have our own team but we are still involved in football at junior and senior levels. Leave us alone. As long as there is enough of us...

    There is absolutely no Fitzroy in Brisbane Lions

    How would an Essendon person know anything about the relationship of Fitzroy FC with the Brisbane lions? Come along to the G next month and you will see Fitzroy in the Brisbane Lions. A bloke from Collingwood said the same thing in August 03 after the Pies had been thrashed by the Fitzroy...

    Opening Game

    Remember the opening game in 1996. Fitzroy Vs Hawthorn at our then home ground, the Western Oval. Well our 2005 opening game is against the same mob at the G. Tragedy is that it will clash with the F/Reds opening game also. The Fitzroy jumper will be resplendent on the G once again. Who ever...

    The Fitzroy Reds will wear the Fitzroy 1957 style jumper next Saturday at the Brunswick St ground against Yarra Valley. Hope every old Roy Boy can come and cheer them on as they play in the footsteps of the legends of FITZROY.

    Dyson Attends Brisbane Function!!!!

    He was there to help promote the Past Players 50th Dinner Dance on the 26th June and that's great because we all have to support each other. Apparantly they are going to present the 1944 "VFL" cup and Clen Denning and Laurie Bickerton will be there together with Normie Johnstone. I think that...
