- The Fitzroy Football Club is an Australian rules football club based in the inner-Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy North. The club's professional senior team was a foundation member of the Victorian Football League (now the Australian Football League) along with seven other clubs on its inception season of 1897. From the late 1960s onward, the club suffered from stadium constraints and financial difficulties that resulted in multiple merger and relocation proposals. With mounting financial pressure from creditors, the 1996 season would be Fitzroy's last season at the senior level. The club's AFL operations were merged with the ten-year-old Brisbane Bears Football Club to become what is now the Brisbane Lions Football Club. There were as many as seven merger proposals, and two separate discussions of permanent relocation as a stand-alone entity. Despite the AFL license being taken over by Brisbane, Fitzroy Football Club Ltd remained in Melbourne. (en)
