Defunct footy clubs in Melbourne

[MortlockWatcher]

Nunawading have joined forces with Forest Hill and will play as Forest Hill in 2025.

Looks like the Lions/Titans have roared for the last time.

Sad but it’s only going to get harder for the clubs in locations where the demographics are changing massively.

South Footscray FDL had a side George Mclaren (Footscray) played there 1940s.
No idea of colours or where the ground was, some rumours say there was an oval on current Footscray hospital sight.

I had a look at the place you mentioned. The hospital didn't exist and the land there was definitely grass surrounded by patches of housing. Definitely not out of the question that footy could be played there!
