For those who were not at training last night we need to advise the following:
Due to major changes to his work situation Graham 'OB' O'Brien has regretfully had to resign as A Grade Coach of Fitzroy Football Club effective immediately. We thank OB for his efforts and wish him well with his business responsibilities.
Whilst this is not an ideal situation for the club at the start of a new season the Committee is working quickly to have a solution in place and will hopefully be in a position to provide a further update by early next week.
It will be football as usual in the meantime with training continuing on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Lee Penrose has agreed to be Interim A Grade Coach and will be ably supported by Paul Mettner, Nathan Sidwell and Jarrad O'Riley
We ask for your patience during this time and that all players make every effort to attend training and support the coaches and the club.
