About
The Old Geelong Football Club was formed in early 1954 as the Old Geelong Grammarians Football Club, playing its first game in the VAFA’s newly created E Section on 24 April of that year. It enjoyed early success as runners-up in 1955, and Premierships in D and C Sections in 1956 and 1957 respectively.
In its inaugural year it used a ground at Yarra Park, and then moved to the small St.Kevins No 2 ground for seasons 1955-1958. In 1959 it transferred to a larger ground in Burnley, and after a couple of years there, it was fortunate to secure the use of Como Park, South Yarra, where it has been based ever since.
At the end of 1973, in recognition of a major change in the membership of the Club, with a significant number of Old Geelong Collegians in particular having joined it in previous seasons, the name of the Club was changed to the Old Geelong Football Club. Whilst the Club endeavours to recruit from and retain close connections with both Geelong schools, we welcome players from all sources.
