TheFitzroy Reds was anAustralian rules football club based in theMelbourne suburb ofFitzroy. The club was formed in 1954 as theUniversity Reds (or simplyUni Reds), competing in theVictorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA).

In December 2008, the Reds merged with theFitzroy Football Club, which is now officially known as "Fitzroy Football Club (incorporating the Fitzroy Reds)" and currently competes in the VAFA's Premier Division.^[1]^[2]

History

[edit]

University Reds

[edit]

University Reds was formed in 1954, joining theUniversity Blacks andUniversity Blues as theMelbourne University Football Club's third team in the VAFA for the1955 season.^[3]

The club, which was originally in E Section and known as "University (E)", provided opportunities for Blacks and Blues players who were not selected in either of those sides to get a regular match.^[4]^[5]

In 1964, the VAFA mandated reserves teams for all clubs. This forced the Reds to go into recess at the end of the season, however they soon returned and joined theFederal Football League (FFL) before returning to the VAFA in1973 after two seasons in the FFL.^[3]^[4]

The Reds won their first seniors premiership in F Section in1980.^[4]

Split from Melbourne University

[edit]

Following the1997 season, under increasing pressure from theMelbourne University Sports Union to meet the required number of undergraduate and post graduate registrations to obtain funding, the club split from the university and were renamed to Fitzroy Reds, with1998 their first season competing under the new name.^[3]^[6]

In2003, the Reds played acurtain-raiser match againstWest Brunswick at theMCG before theBrisbane Lions metCollingwood during theAFL Heritage Round.^[7]^[8]

Merger with Fitzroy

[edit]

On 2 April 2008, Reds president Craig Little announced a plan to merge the club with theFitzroy Football Club. Fitzroy had left the AFL following the1996 season, but had not entirely disbanded and had a sponsorship arrangement with the Reds.^[9]

In December 2008, the Reds formally transferred all its assets to the Fitzroy Football Club. The Reds terminated its membership of the VAFA and was wound up as an incorporated company and football club.^[10]

By special dispensation from the VAFA, the Fitzroy Football Club then replaced the Reds in Division 1 of the VAFA, beginning in the2009 season, fielding a senior and reserves side, as well as two under-19s sides and a Club XVIII side.^[11]
