Somethings never change. North Melbourne forever asking for handouts from the AFL.

That's my mate

🔥💯💪

Always will be a disgrace on the AFL. The most successful club in the early years of VFA/VFL history the lions were the textbook casualty of the AFL corporate expansionist program. No consideration whatsoever was given to their proud 100 plus year history or to their dedicated supporters, didn't even get to play their final game in Melbourne.

Gotta love this man, aged like fine wine with an AA.

2010-2016 haven’t been good for Daniel rich Safe to say Fevola ruined his career

Robert walls built the Lions premiership teams Leigh Mathhews just added the cream on top

THE SHERMANATOR

The Newly Merged Fitzroy-Brisbane Bears at least kept the Maroon and Gold and added Fitzroy's Blue.

Fitzroy should have relocated to Brisbane in 1987, like South Melbourne did to Sydney

Essendon and Brisbane are playing again at the MCG today for the first time since that game

Paul Roos in the player cavalcade.. You hopocrite!!! Left the roys for the bucks... Fuck off..

could of been a great player, shame he was injury prone

Hahahaha! That's the best

How could the Afl fixture Fitzroys last game away..they knew what was coming... bastards...

Why was Eddie McGuire commenting on a Lions and Collingwood game :/

LEGEND WAS A KING HE SHOULD COME COACH WESY COAST,HORSE OFF A NOONGAR

I went to this game, I don't remember any set shot from directly in front, I thought I remembered some Brisbane player kicking from CHF and drawing level

What a SPUD he's turned out to be.

One could argue the Brisbane Lions are in a worse state than what Fitzroy was in 1995.

Why do people blame the AFL for Fitzroy's demise. They didn't have a home, had no training facilities, average crowds of less than 10,000 were not competitive at all, apart from giving clubs percentage boosters, basically they didn't adjust to the new era of AFL and paid the price. Whinge and cry all u want but AFL and all sport are a business these days, u need money to survive, back then the AFL had no money, they had to charge Adelaide, West coast and Brisbane 12 million combined to enter the competition and to keep the Victorian clubs afloat because they were all bankrupt (Including Collingwood). If Fitzroy fans really cared about their club, why didn't they attended games, there's are reason why the bulldogs and richmond are still around who were all in a similar position back then to Fitzroy, there fans attended and got them over the line, Fitzroy supporters didn't and paid the price.

how good would Brisbane be now if they still had Michael R and Jarred Brennan

I've always wondered what the background music is...

REALLY AFTER HE BASHED HIS WOMEN SHE NEEDED A HELMET HEAD,NOT ALBERT PROUD,NOT

GO ADCOCK!

thats just crap, he goes on with the game idiot

/watch?v=Wfu46ZGHm-U Go watch that, then refer back to your stupid comment and remove it.

lol

my mistake, except I found it on an AFL game :/

He was going to his position half forward flank

Yeah their was check out tsavaridisarchives2 to see it!

no there wasn't

Hawthorn, it almost happened back in 1996.

under-16s ?

Rember watching this game thought we done at 3qter time

I was there fist draw I've been to

5 years later (2001) the merged club became a superpower (the fear of everyone). It is like the death of a family member.

indeed they do.

If they do, who can they merge with?

hopefully Melbourne demons don't go down this way and I'm an Adelaide crows fan.

thanks for letting me know mate I'll check them out

There is a football club called the Fitzroy Reds. They are still alive.

#RESPECT

If Fitzroy return I'll go for them

I don't think that's gonna happen

Melbourne, Australia.

and what is the sporting capital of the world

The South Melbourne Swans Club Song had South, not Swans, in the Lyrics.

Great idea mate in a heritage round for Sydney they should wear their old South Melbourne jumper, and play the old South Melbourne theme. If there was an old theme. :/

Fitzroy Lions Football Club Song We are the boys from old Fitzroy We wear the colours Maroon and Blue We will always fight for victory We will always see it through Win or Lose, we do or die But in defeat, we always try Fitzroy, Fitzroy The Club we love do dear Premiers, we'll be this year.
