Hello to all Fitzroy supporters and welcome to season 2025.

To say that we're all itching to get things started is a massive understatement.

Round one on April 5 can’t come quick enough.

Our magnificent playing group has been preparing since pre-season training began back in November. To see such big numbers on the track for both the Men’s and Women’s teams is very exciting.

We are further buoyed by our plans to have a Women’s Thirds team for the first time.

The Board has been working very hard behind the scenes to do all the things (and more) that are needed to make 2025 a season to remember. Stay tuned for a number of announcements and new initiatives that we're working on for the year ahead.

As most people will be aware, our sponsorship arrangements with long term partners ACU and Jellis Craig have come to an end and we're working very hard to find like-minded organisations to take their place. If any supporters can help to sponsor the club in any way, that will be very much appreciated.

The support the club gets from our incredibly loyal supporters buying a membership ticket every year is enormous. Thanks to all the supporters who've renewed already and we look forward to seeing more come on board in the next few weeks.

We’d love to see all of the parents, partners and friends of our players take out a club membership this season as well. It’s so good to have you all at our games every week and it'd be great to have you join as an official Fitzroy Football Club member.

So now, with the new season just a month away, we stand collectively ready to roll the sleeves up, put on the famous club colours and get stuck into all the action that provides us with such joy every week at Brunswick Street Oval and the many suburban football grounds around the traps – all in the name of the Fitzroy Football Club.

See you at the footy!
