Club History

First established in 1975 the club has been the pathway for many young players who have gone on to represent local Sunday League Teams and Amateur Competitions.

 

Several of our players have excelled and have earned their opportunity at the Elite WAFL level, players past & present; Michael Saunders (East Fremantle), Trevor Davidson (Peel), Lindsay Woods (Peel), Dwayne Griffen (Swan Districts), Luke Blackwell (Swan Districts), Tom Willday (Perth), Keith Delladova (Swan Districts), Justin Simpson (Swan Districts) and Max Bailey (West Perth) have all played league football.

 

Dwayne Griffen, has progressed even further to become our first player to be selected to play AFL Football when he was drafted to Collingwood. Luke Blackwell was selected in the 2004 National Draft to join Carlton under the father-son rule. Luke also played for Claremont and won the Sandover Medal in 2011 and Max Bailey joined Hawthorn.

 

In 2013 we established our Senior team in the Club. With invaluable assistance from the Western Australia Football Commission, Western Australian Country Football League and the Hills Football Association we succeeded in submitting our first ever Senior team. After playing 2 years in the Sunday Hills competition, we joined the WAAFL in 2015 and were Minor Premiers in the E3 Division that year. The Team was then elevated to E1 and with tougher competition this provided some great close games. 2018 we were back in E3, we had a great year and were Minor Premiers once again. In 2019 the Seniors Team, playing in the E2 competition, finished minor premiers and then went on to take home the premiership. The flag now sits proudly on the wall in the clubrooms.

 

In 2019, the Forrestfield Football Club fielded its first female team in the Girls Youth Competition. A great milestone as we continue to provide our community a welcoming and inclusive club.
