The Old Melburnians Football Club, also known as Old Melburnians,[1] is an Australian rules football club composed of Melbourne Grammar School alumni, based in Port Melbourne, Victoria.

The team is, along with Old Caulfield Grammarians, the (equal) second oldest consecutively competing team in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) (the oldest being Collegians).[2]

  1. ^ At a meeting held at Melbourne Grammar School on 22 April 1895, called to inaugurate an organization for former students that would amalgamate and oversee the activities of various sporting activities, such as the athletics, cricket, gymnastics clubs that were already established for "old boys" as well as any others that might be created in the future (e.g., football). After strong debate, with a number of suggested names, including "Old Church of England Grammar School Boys' Association", being rejected, the meeting (composed of "old boys" from all eras, including the 1860s) decided upon the name "Old Melburnians" for the "old boys" umbrella organization (see: Old Boy, "College Sports: Weekly Jottings", The Australasian, (Saturday, 27 April 1895), p.19.
