Join us in welcoming our two newest Board members, Cass Blake and Richard Willingham - both already established FFC on and off-field leaders.

Both Cass and Richard will be well known to many of you as they are Fitzroy through and through.

Cass captained the Senior Women's team from 2021 until the end of last season. She made the VAFA team of the year and was runner up in the VAFA best and fairest in 2021, before being invited to captain the 2022 VAFA team of the year.

Richard was actually in the very first team to don the Fitzroy colours for the Fitzroy Juniors in 1993 and, later, took his place on field in the Fitzroy Reds' first standalone Under 19 team. Playing more than 160 games, Richard also coached the Reserves team for a season.

Cass will be looking after the Player Wellbeing portfolio vacated by Michael Pickering last year, while Richard will be working to build up our past player networks.
