PAUL DAFFEY HAS VERY KINDLY GIVEN US PERMISSION TO PUT CHAPTER ONE OF HIS EXCELLENT BOOK, "LOCAL RITES" ON OUR WEBSITE FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT.

THIS CHAPTER DESCRIBES FITZROY'S RETURN TO BRUNSWICK STREET IN 2000 THROUGH ITS SPONSORSHIP OF THE FITZROY REDS VAFA TEAM, WHICH IS BASED AT THE GROUND.

IT IS A WONDERFUL READ AND EXPLAINS THE ROLE OF THE FITZROY FOOTBALL CLUB POST 1996.
