U12 Girls Gold 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 Gold match between Fitzroy and St. Marys were awarded to Ashlee (St. Marys) and Ava Allen (FJFC). Congratulations to both girls for a great game and more importantly displaying all those magnificent traits.

#1 – The pre-season must have gone well. Noticeable improvement in skills across the board.

#2 – The recruitment dept goes alright too. Great debuts from all our first game players.

#3 – Speaking of debuts, kicking a goal in your first game is aweseme …. Neve Mellody come on down!

#4 – Our girls don’t mind the wet. Eleven goals in tough conditions. Rain, hail or shine they’ll come to play.

#5 – Speaking of goals, Willow Clarke must eat them for dinner. I counted six!!!!!!
