The Old Geelong Football Club known as 'The OGs' are an amateur Australian Rules Football team based at Como Park in South Yarra, competing in Division One of the Victorian Amateur Football Association. The Club has associations with the two Geelong-based APS schools Geelong Grammar School and The Geelong College and draws many of its players from these two schools. The Club also has a strong link with many regional area of Victoria, and attracts players from across the country. The OGs have won five Senior premierships and eight Reserves premierships in their history.
History
The Old Geelong Football Club was formed in early 1954 as the Old Geelong Grammarians Football Club, playing its first game in the Victorian Amateur Football Association'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, the Club welcomes players from all sources.
