The OGs have won six Senior premierships, eight Reserves premierships, two Under 19’s premierships, two Club XXVIII premierships & one Women’s Reserves premiership in their history. The Australian rules football team competes in the VAFA Premier C Men's division and the VAFA Premier B Women's division and has 6 teams consisting of Men's Seniors, Reserves, Thirds and Under 23s, and Women's Seniors and Reserves.

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. In 2017 the OGs fielded their first women's football side that competed in the inaugural season of the VAFA women's league. ## Coaching staff[edit] * Men's Senior: Nathan Brown & Paul O’Connell * Men’s Reserve: Colby O’Brien & Jason Barry * Men's Thirds: Zach Carroll * Under 23s: Mickey Nicholls * Women's Senior: David Cooper * Women's Reserve: James Ramsden ## Premierships[edit] * Seniors (6): 1956, 1957, 1966, 1990, 2005, 2016 * Reserves (8): 1966, 1988, 1990, 1997, 2005, 2007, 2012, 2013 * Under 19s (2): 2009, 2012 * Thirds/Club XVIII (2): 2012, 2016 * Women’s Reserves (1): 2019 ## References[edit] ## External links[edit] * Official site * v * t * e Clubs in the Victorian Amateur Football Association W.
