U11-W Girls (U12 Green) 2018

Round 8 - Indigenous Round - Joe Johnson Medalists

Since 2011 the Fitzroy Junior Football Club has recognised our shared history during Indigenous Round alongside the AFL. Fitzroy Football club is known as the club where in 1904 the first recognised Indigenous player, Joe Johnson, played VFL football. Each year we honour his name in all the FJFC games during Indigenous Round by awarding a Joe Johnson medal to a player from each team who demonstrates Endurance, Tenacity, Courage, Loyalty and Pride.

In 2018 the medals in the U12 Girls Green match between Fitzroy W and Warrandyte were awarded to Emma (Warrandyte) and Phoebe Hargreaves (FJFC). Congratulations to both girls for a great game and more importantly displaying all those magnificent traits.
