40 Year History

The journey of the Oakleigh Youth Club Football Club from 1965 to the present has touched all parts of community life.

This story is one of achievement on many levels. At the community level, the club has provided a vehicle for neighbours to engage with each other. At the highest level, the club has produced AFL/VFL champions, including premiership players, an AFL club captain, a Norm Smith Medallist and a leading AFL goal kicker.

The club has been involved in raising the profile of women in football, and through the 2005 Umpires Appreciation Programme, the OYCFC is trying to improve community understanding of umpires.

This historical account celebrates the many twists and turns experienced by the Oakleigh Dragons over our 40 year journey.
