Fitzroy again began fielding an Under 19 team in the VAFA competition in 2024, after several years' absence.
The team is coached by Matthew Watson, who has transitioned, along with many players, from the Fitzroy Juniors.
In 2003, the first Fitzroy Under 19 team took to the field under the guidance of the very successful Tim Bell.
Tim coached the team until 2010 and then
for a second stint until 2017, taking the teams to nine finals appearance, five grand finals and four premierships - the most recent in 2014.
