Club Biography

"Coburg continued to make regular division one finals appearances throughout the 1980s, finishing as runner up to Port Melbourne in 1980, third in 1982 and 1985, and second again (to Williamstown) in 1986. The Lions then brought the decade to a satisfactory conclusion with back to back premierships. Coburg squared the ledger against Williamstown in the 1988 grand final with a 16.18 (114) to 12.15 (87) victory before clinching the ‘series’ a year later in the first season of the VFA’s reversion to a single division format. Coburg won by 3 goals, 10.13 (73) to 7.13 (55), and although premiership glory has not been attained since the Lions have at least - unlike many of their former compatriots - remained in existence. Indeed, Coburg’s record during 68 seasons of involvement in the VFA was enormously creditable, with the club managing an overall success rate of 59.2%..."
