Named after Alex Gillon, Brunswick Premiership player and long serving President of the VFA.The Northcote club are expected to make a good fight against our boys, and as it is the first football match to be played on the new park, a large crowd is anticipated.

The Bruniswick City Band has generously placed its services at the club's disposal, and will march from the corner of Victoria street and Sydney. road, and will render selections during the afternoon at the park. - Coburg Leader 1908
