Brunswick Street Oval

Particularly Fitzroy Cricket Club were one of the big ones here.

They would not let Um, television come to Brunswick street oval, unless they got more cash.

How much cash? So the way it ends up playing out, they all, they eventually, everyone sort of agrees on something.

So 50 pounds to each club and 50 pounds to the ground.

And he said, do you have a footy club? And I said, well, not really.

He said, well, you'd better come along to a Fitzroy function in a tent, would you believe, at the old Brunswick Street Oval.

So I tootled along there and met a whole lot of very nice people.

And then John Blackman, of course, was a great Fitzroy supporter.

Sorry, in Victoria.

We have had Princess Park, Punt Road, Kadinia Park, obviously Junction Oval MCG, Lake Oval, Brunswick Street Oval, all have hosted first-class cricket, Victorian first-class cricket.

Some regional venues that have hosted first-class cricket, Wangaratta Showgrounds, Eastern Oval, Queen Elizabeth Oval in Bendigo and Sale Oval.

And one final thing.

Well, he said himself that midway through 2024, if two blokes didn't do their knee, he would have retired.

And then I interviewed him at Brunswick Street Oval, and he would have said this in other interviews as well, but I can just speak from my own experience, that he said after every premiership they've won, he sat there a week after and been like, Do I really want to do this next year? And he's just decided to go on each time so far.

This is different according to people that know him best.

The words that he used was, yeah, I just want to – he said something along the lines of, I want to give it a few more days just to be sure.

we hear it again?

Now, were you down at Brunswick Street Oval

today? No, I'm going to be honest.

I'm not on a lot of sleep at the moment.

That's fucking

great.

Levi Ashcroft didn't make the festivities down at Brunswick Street Oval.

Why didn't he make it? Did he just sleep in or something? Yeah, I think so.

The Brisbane Lions have met with fans this morning after last night's grand final celebrations.

Thousands have turned up at the Brunswick Street Oval, which is the original home of the Fitzroy Lions.

The Fremantle Dockers led by 17 points at the MCG, but the Lions kicked the game's final four goals in the final minutes to secure their third consecutive premiership.

The opposition has talked down suggestions that OpenAI should be legally pursued over its hacking of a Medicare website.

It's like, guys, maybe if you cheered a little louder in 1996, it wouldn't be called the Brisbane Lions, it'd be called the Fitzroy Lions.

And they'd be playing at Brunswick Street Oval and they'd be wearing berets and kicking a ball around.

And the Fitzroy Garage Party is the AFL grand final halftime show.

But we're in a situation where Brisbane... needed a team and they're like, who's the shittest club? Let's find Fitzroy.
