25.01.2022 Long before it became fashionable for a women's team to exist Glen Iris was the trailblazer in this arena. Here is just a sample of the pics we have of a game played on a very muddy Eric Raven Reserve. Can anyone identify any of the young ladies? Apologies for the quality of the pics.

19.01.2022 Dear all, This Friday 26th July at 7.00pm the Local Footy Show on C31 will be showing footage from the 1982 Grand Final against East Hawthorn on their Golden Age of Footy segment. Whilst this was an unfortunate loss it is footage that most of us have not witnessed since that fateful day. The show is replayed again at 9.00am the next day (Saturday).

18.01.2022 Today caught up with dual Best & fairest winner as well as senior Captain, John Reinsma. John also passed over several records of games played complete with team lists, results and even the umpires reports. Stay tuned as I will be posting some of these here. Thanks for your valuable contribution John!

18.01.2022 Planning is well underway with the committee meeting for the first time in 2020 for the Golf Day (April 6th) and Past Players Luncheon (November 27th). Those planning on playing golf are urged to get back to us asap.

18.01.2022 Even during these difficult times your committee is working on the planning of functions, new announcements regarding both the golf day and annual luncheon will be made soon. Stay tuned and stay safe (and sane)

17.01.2022 This pic was taken during Dave Irvines trip to Melbourne where a mini reunion was arranged. The good times continue to roll on with good friends and good memories. See you again in 10 short months Dave!

17.01.2022 U/15 team sheet last round 1979. Next week was semi final against Highett West, which we won before a triumphant grand final. Am hoping to see as many of this team at our reunion in November, if you recognise names please let me know their contact details.

16.01.2022 I was hoping to get a finer looking model to showcase our latest instalment of memorabilia in the form of the training jacket complete with sponsor on the back, but alas we had to settle for our very own Tom Burney! Impressive that he can still dress to impress!

16.01.2022 The reserves team of 1979, how many can you name?

16.01.2022 Thanks to Bill Latham who provided this little article, circa 1960's or 70's, can anyone provide a possible year?

15.01.2022 Here is the lovely Deb Lee attending the 1979 grand final with brother. Alan Cheyne can be seen in the background, wonder what she was uttering when the camera went snap!

13.01.2022 I have just received a (approx.) 100 page document detailing a complete history of the leagues that Glen Iris has competed in since 1925. It comes complete with every game ever played. This will be available to view at our reunion luncheon on November 29th. A big thank you to the historian of the SESFL, Mr Ross McCulloch.

12.01.2022 Today was meant to be the day for our annual golf day which had been rescheduled not once, not twice but three times and as luck would have it the heavens opened up and dumped over 70mm of rain on the deck overnight. The good news is though we have rescheduled, stay tuned for further posts

12.01.2022 Herewith a very rare and original monogram of the footy club. The original colours were purple and gold. This little gem came from a blazer worn by a Mr Fred Ford (Treasurer) during the 1950s. Thank you to Bill Latham for sending this through.

12.01.2022 Dear all, The golf day is now just under 3 weeks away. The Golf Club has installed a marquee that can seat 50, this may be used if restrictions do not ease to allow us into the clubhouse. We can play in 4's and carts are available as well. Who wins this year?

11.01.2022 Team photo circa 1948. Could imagine that many of the players in this photo would have served in WW2 as well, fitting that we are sharing this on Anzac Day, Lest We Forget.

11.01.2022 During this era at the footy club we had a lot of players cross "over the creek" from St James Glen Iris Cricket Club to play for the mighty Iris. Players such as Lyle Formaini, John Bennett, Wayne Stewart, Andrew Harston, Steve Greenard, Mal McArthur, Frank Hall, Mick Ennis and yours truly all played in this side. We also had players such as Mick Pryor and Mick Stapleton, already hardened footy players also play at St Jimmies.Note, this day we played Balwyn and went down by 13 goals!

08.01.2022 Today caught up with a historian for the SESFL who kindly donated this record from 1965. This was a winning premiership year and judging by the some of the comments most felt that we would win by some margin. Hope you enjoy reading this.
