Roys FFC

Summary
The Roys FFC joined the competition in Season 03 (2003), as part of an influx of new clubs that were based on actual VFL/AFL clubs. The Roys recruit almost exclusively Fitzroy supporters/fans, but do not rule out exceptions. The Roys FFC wear maroon and blue colours.

Like their namesake, the successes of the team are currently consigned to the early days of the competition. The Roys won the competition premiership in Season 04, but have not appeared in a Grand Final since that season. A run of low placings, including a couple of wooden spoons, is also punctuated with a two season hiatus where the Roys entered recess some seasons back, their place in the league taken up by the Mod Squad. The return of the Roys has seen them build a steady, if not outstanding, strength of position as a vital component of the Sweet FA.

The nickname of the Roys is the Gorillas, and their logos have usually featured a gorilla, that was affectionately dubbed 'Dyson' in the club's early years. The home ground of the team is a fictitious locale known as Brunswick Junction Oval, an amalgam of two popular Fitzroy home grounds. Unfortunately lack of attention to detail from contributing members of the league continues to result in erroneous information being displayed in place of this locale.

With an older player base - which gives rise to much banter based on eras and chronology - the Roys enjoy a richer verbosity and life experience pool in terms of "activity". While less expansive and much more pedestrian, the Roys FFC end of interchanges on the messageboards are usually more intricately and accurately measured. A surgical feeling abounds when dancing across a field of gorilla needlepoint ague. With some exceptions, it is clear most members of the club are essentially better than you at everything.

Captains over the years include Yippyio, Roylion, FattyLumpkin, Fat Pizza, Fred, Mobbenfuhrer, Reardo & Broken. The club Best & Fairest Award (the "Broken Medal") has been won a record three times by Fat Pizza. Jake the Peg holds the most goalkicking wins for the club, three times leader punctuated by the recess seasons 09 & 10. The most goals in any one season for a Roy, however, is an accolade held by Yippyio, in the premiership season of 04, with 102 majors, Roys FFC's only tonne goalkicker.

The Roys are the home of the Chudshake beverage.
