Viv Michie likely debut
Ex- FitzroyJFC footballer Viv Mitchie is likely to make his AFL debut against Melbourne this weekend. After two injury ravaged seasons at Freo, Michie appears to be on the cusp of rewarding the faith the club has put in him. The midfielder/forward has had a tremendous pre-season and could finally get his chance. His early season form at Peel Thunder has been very strong.
Clubs: Fremantle
Draft information: National Draft 2010, pick 44
Debut: Yet to debut
Recruited from: Oakleigh Chargers
The FJFC is very excited to announce a significant club-wide event to be held 6:00 – 9:30pm, Friday 24th May, 2013. Our Colts-1 team will play in a:
NIGHT GAME at Victoria Park
The event will include a Tackers/U10 Curtain Raiser game, food and drinks, and provides an excellent opportunity to celebrate the might of the Roys!!
This event also aligns with the focus on National Reconciliation associated with the AFL Indigenous round and is the second year of awarding Indigenous Round Medals to outstanding players from each team. The Fitzroy club has a very strong and proud association with Indigenous football and this exciting club event provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate, show respect, give acknowledgement, and recognize and share knowledge of our past.
The medals will be inscribed with five qualities deemed to represent qualities of Indigenous Australians and ones we hope all players will strive to emulate and attain. Those qualities are:
The Fitzroy club has a strong and deep link with Indigenous players that we should recognize, commemorate and, promote for the future of the club.
The "...first known Aborigine to play AFL football..." played for Fitzroy (Joe Johnson).
The first Indigenous Victorian State representative was also a Fitzroy 'boy', a young man who would go on to be a prominent figure in securing Indigenous rights and became the Governor of South Australia, the Rev. Doug Nichols.
There have been 13 Indigenous players for Fitzroy in the club’s history.
We have strong connections and through this medal we hope to create connections for our players linking past generations with today’s players to the future.
Without Knowledge there can be no Understanding and without Understanding there can be no Reconciliation.
