About Us


The Swinburne University Amateur Football Club, also known as the Razorbacks, is affaliated with the Victorian Amateur Footbal Association (VAFA). We are associated with the Swinburne University of Technology located on Burwood Road in Hawthorn, and were initially established in 1995 by the then Chancellor Richard Pratt. We currently compete in the D4 section of the Amateurs every Saturday, with the Reserves game commencing at 11.40pm, and the Seniors at 2.00pm. We train on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6pm and welcome any new players or supporters down to the club.

Swinburne University Amateur Football Club strives to be a professional, successful and sustainable VAFA Club. Our aim is to provide a safe, fun and encouraging environment for all of our members.

Our home ground is St James Park, which is located on the corner of Burwood Road and Barton St in Hawthorn, Melways reference 45 A10:

CLUB SONG

(To the tune of the Carlton Football Club Song "We are the Navy Blues")

OOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhh
We are the Razorbacks
We are the Swin-burne Razorbacks
We're the team that never lets you down
We're the only team from Swinburne town

With all the champions
They like to send us
We'll keep our ends up
And then they'll know that they've been playing
Against the famous RAZORBACKS
