FJFC Events 2025 – The 5th Quarter
March 28, 2025
Dear Roys families,
We officially launch our new season on Sunday 6 April 2025, and we will be launching FJFC 2025 events called the The 5th Quarter
The 5th Quarter is your chance to celebrate everything that makes Fitzroy Junior Football Club special.
More than just a game, FJFC events are about coming together as the “We are Fitzroy” community —players, families, coaches, volunteers and supporters.
United by our club’s values of Respect, Team Spirit, Well-being, Mentoring & Development, and Inclusiveness.
This event is all about:
- Connecting with teammates and the wider Fitzroy community
- Celebrating our club culture and spirit
- Providing opportunities for players and club members to be involved beyond the game
- Having fun and getting excited for the season ahead
Our Next Event
25 MAY THE 5TH QUARTER – JOE JOHNSON ROUND
Our next all-club social gathering for the season will be held from 5.30-8.30pm, Sunday 25 May at the Fitzroy-Victoria Bowls Club (right next to the Brunswick Street Oval).
Come and join us for a very special 5th Quarter at the Fitzroy Bowls Club, celebrating Joe Johnson rounds.
Joe Johnson is acknowledged as the first indigenous player in the VFL/AFL when he debuted for Fitzroy in 1904. Pastor Sir Doug Nicholls (who the AFL celebrates in its indigenous rounds) also played for Fitzroy.
We have some special guests, and are hoping our Joe Johnson medal winners across round 5 and 6 can join us on Sunday night.
