Fitzroy Vs St Kilda Brunswick St early 1960s

Rare footage of Fitzroy's home ground in at Brunswick St.

Round 18, 1960. Fitzroy lead at every change and won by 25 points. The win, in the final round of the season, confirmed a top 2 finish for the Lions, finishing on 14 wins (equal with Melbourne)

They still do in the VAFA, wearing the Fitzroy guernsey

Fitzroy had a great jersey and colours. The original is going to sell for a high price on Ebay eventually.

Would've been fantastic to watch a match here I reckon: away supporters to the end at the left of the screen I assume, Fitzroy's to the right, same as Princes & Vic Park?

Brunswick St Ovall was usually mud and slush in the winter months Spectators had to stand in puddles. The oval was the shortest in the VFL. Players often endured cold showers and getting a beer after the game in change rooms only was a queue up wait.

It’s crazy & sad to see how quickly the decline Fitzroy went through from winning the night premiership in 1959 & losing the preliminary final to Collingwood by 5 points in 1960 to winning 1 game in 1963 against eventual premiers Geelong, winless in 1964 a VFL/ AFL record, 2 wins in 1965 finishing 2nd last by percentage & 1 win in 1966 the last season playing at the Brunswick Street Oval & 30 years later it’s merger with Brisbane

No.5, Tony Ongarello last player to use the place kick in a VFL match.
