Fitzroy v Werribee U19 Section 2 Grand Final - Trevor Barker Oval Life is wonderful! Winning isn’t everything, I know that but when you win and when you absolutely deserve to win, life is wonderful. The Fitzroy u19s have found the last few seasons tough going. Last season, in particular...

It will be back to Trevor Barker Oval in Sandringham this weekend for the Fitzroy Football Club. The u19s take on Werribee in the Section 2 Grand Final. Werribee beat Parkdale in the Preliminary final last week in a gutsy game against the odds. Parkdale must still be stunned by their dramatic...

In a season that saw the Senior group retain its Premier B position, the U19s have also given the Fitzroy faithful reason to be proud by making the u19 Section 2 Grand Final and propelling them back into Premier division and giving the whole Club a reason to look to the future with some real...

Round 18. The last home and away game of a long season. No excuses though. The u19s were handed their behinds on a platter by Collegians at Brunswick St. Collegians were up and about. Sitting safely at 4th on the ladder, Collegians are the ‘form side’ of the competition and that is a...

When you drive through the Trinity Playing Field gates off Bulleen Rd, you are just gob smacked. In 16 rounds of football, we have not seen an oval in this condition – it was picture perfect. It looked like carpet, beautiful, lush green carpet. The change rooms were not too shabby either, a...

Exciting times for Fitzroy...avoiding relegation at Senior level and a possibility of promotion to Premier at Under 19s. Many of the boys making us proud in the Seniors would clearly remember what a great achievement that is!

It was great to be back on home soil after 2 rounds away. It was going to be a danger game. Last week was such a big game against the team 2nd on the ladder and this week we were coming up against the bottom placed Mazenod looking to avoid relegation. They had a reason to play hard and we...

Thanks for the shout out, ByGeorge!111, quite the surprise! I assume that seeing the named sides, you are referring to Baker, the younger? His silky skills and football smarts must be a welcome inclusion up there! Take care of him though, we will need him in September when Parkdale will be...

Werribee vs Fitzroy There had been so much whining about this fixture - 9:30am out at Soldiers Reserve, Werribee! You can’t blame me though, it was a crazy time to get up on a Saturday for a game of football! Anyway, I wasn’t the only one complaining, everyone else looked half asleep and...

Uni Blacks vs Fitzroy An important concept in sport is that of an even playing field. Today, this was a term used only metaphorically because the actual playing field was literally, a quagmire. As the boys arrived, you could see the surprise on their faces. They woke to a dry day and were...

Fitzroy vs Parkdale I wish I were a writer, a real writer. I wish I knew how to put the right words down to convey to you the beauty of what happened on a wet muddy Melbourne Saturday at Ramsden St. It had been an emotional week for Bruce and his family having lost a father and grandfather...

Fitzroy vs Marcellin Marcellin beat Fitzroy in Round 6 and it stung. Everyone was off their game that day, from Coach to Team Manager and most people in between. This round 12 game was about redemption. The team was suffering from the same issues as last week though – low numbers. There...

Collegians vs Fitzroy Some games are highly anticipated. Some games just roll around. Some games are problematic. This re-scheduled round 8 game between Collegians and Fitzroy fell in the latter category. Fitzroy had had some injuries to deal with but what team hasn’t at this stage. The...

Round 11 Caulfield Grammarians v Fitzroy The weather was perfect on Saturday for the match against Caulfield Grammarians at Glenhuntly Oval. The ground was a picture, the only problem was the canteen wasn’t open and I hadn’t had lunch! Fitzroy had low numbers for todays’ game. Injury and Uni...

Fitzroy v Old Carey – under lights! As I write this it is a stunning Melbourne Winter day. The sky is blue and the sun’s warmth is cutting through the chill. A perfect day for football! Brunswick St would have been a picture. However, the U19s had the excitement of a night fixture this...

No, I don't.

Inspired by the great DerrinalPhil, I wanted to post some info about the 2013 u19s. It has been a great season so far with promise of some great moments to come. The 2013 team is made up of some old faces, young players from the Juniors and an influx of new guys. There are some younger...

Looking forward to the game this weekend against NOBS. We have a lot of outs but this will just show the depth of our list. Still able to field 4 sides. Sadly Ablett not playing this weekend...cannot wait to see him take the field in a Roy jumper! Going to be a great season...no doubt! Go Roys

Yeah there were 4 changes to the side that last met NOBS. These boys have worked hard all season and the injection of a couple of good players saw everyone lift across the ground. It was great to see these guys get a win, they have kept going all season taking thumping after thumping but...

Pat Dimase played the first round in the N2 side and never returned. Don't know why or where he is now.

As mentioned in another post, we took our two kids over. It was a very easy drive and our stay in Glenelg was great. Adelaide doesn't pretend to be anything more then it is and it is a nice town, couldn't live there but it was nice to spend a couple of days. I was shocked at how little news...

Went over with the whole family, including 2 kids, and thought the Port crowd could have been worse. Remember that these are supporters for who the "norm" is to be the overwhelming majority every week. They do not need to be diplomatic or thoughtful because it is always them. Except for their...

I would rather be watching highlights of Yasmin's Getting Married. I am going to break out the VHS tapes of some games from the 1990's.

Back off Michelle. I have every right to criticise Laidley. I didn't do it thoughtlessly or unfairly and I am not an idiot. As a paid up member AND supporter, I can have my say. It had nothing to do with the fire which is devastating to all NMFC fans and it has nothing to do with...

I will NEVER stop being a member regardless. What will stop happening in my family is the extra stuff ie. less merchandise purchased because although we will all remain members, we won't go to as many games because of the style of play. Let me stress here, I don't care is we lose. We North...

...so, he's gone then? I've tried to support the guy too and defend him BUT I think it is over. I cannot watch this team play like this anymore and I don't know in which universe, any sane person could possibly think that playing football like this is going to get you anywhere. Clearly...

Someone bagging the club as mildly as this is the least of our problems. I am still in shock at how we are playing this year. I cannot believe how far backward we have gone this year. What is really going on?? Something is. I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. A team...

COMPLETELY AGREE :p well said

Now B-Rock, that was funny!! Harsh on Drew but fair on the rest. I HATE the way we play footy now, HATE IT!! We just haven't got the skills to play this type of footy, now I'm not saying we haven't got the players, we have some talent but we are not playing to our strengths. We are...

Re: An open letter of apology to Joel Petrie; from NMFC midfield Yes we got smashed in the midfield today but that does not explain Perry. He is not up to it, he is just not smart enough as a footballer and the only reason he isn't the worst backman is because Hay is on the field.
