Doing the work

Two weeks of training, and having some footy routine back is an absolute delight after being away for so long. We've never loved our game more!

We're continually impressed with our players' enthusiasm at each session and the care with which they approach the RTT protocols, ensuring they're social distancing, and have the cleanest hands we've seen on the field!

They are making it dream work for our COVID Safety Officers who are at every session to help manage the protocols. Getting our teams back on the field is a whole-of-Club approach and we have a wonderful Fitzroy community who are behind us.

In this edition of the RedRoy, we’re suggesting a few ways – if you're in a position to do so – that you can provide support to help us through this tough year.

We’re launching our major raffle for 2020 which is an exciting and new online version of our old favourite. Read on for more details.

We also have our tax deductible, Fitzroy Operations Fund to donate to as we approach tax time.

And of course, all sales from our club merchandise help us keep our players on the park and our finances afloat. We’re keeping our winter warmers sale going as winter has well and truly hit! So grab your gear and show your true colours!

#RoyBoys profiles part 2

Get to know some of our Roy Boys!

We asked some of our men’s players and coaches a few questions about ISO life and what they think about their teammates – check out what Will Pickering, Will Zaghis, Martin Deasy and Jock Green had to say in Part 2 of our ISO life profiles!

We think there might be a few cheeky ones here – not that we doubt our players’ culinary skills or question their musical choices at all! And maybe there is some sucking up to a certain former coach, but have a read and see what you think!
