Simple to Order
Choose from our Single Player, Two Player, Team, or Grand Final banner options. For player banners, just provide the player's name, surname, guernsey number, and milestone - for example, Jake Williams, #7, 100 Games. Our banners are printed with permanent inks on heavy-duty weatherproof paper, built to handle everything from a crisp Melbourne morning to a bitter winter afternoon at Canning Street Reserve.

Two Players, One Banner
Sharing a milestone game on the same round? Our Two Player banner lets you celebrate both players on a single, quality banner. Just supply both names, guernsey numbers, and the milestone being recognised - both players deserve to be remembered.

Team Banners for Group Celebrations
For squad-wide celebrations, our Team Banner fits 3 to 6 players on one banner. A great top-line message might read: "Avondale Heights Hawks - Champions of the EDFL". Team banners are perfect for premiership wins, end-of-season nights, or any moment the whole group deserves recognition.

Available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes, our Wall Keepsake Banners are printed on thick recyclable paper with waterproof inks and designed to last for years. Whether they end up in the clubrooms, the garage, or the games room, Hawks players and supporters will treasure these as a permanent reminder of their footy journey.

Our Grand Final Banners come in 4.5m and 5.5m sizes, fully customised with your choice of top and bottom text. Whether it is the Avondale Heights Football Club's first appearance or another memorable finals campaign, contact us for personalised design advice to make the banner truly special.

About Avondale Heights Football Club
Origins and Founding
The Avondale Heights Football Club was established in September 1965, when a small group of local residents gathered at St James Church in Macey Street to form a club for the youth of the suburb. The club began as a junior outfit before developing into a full senior competition club in the Essendon District Football League (EDFL), a competition that serves the north-western suburbs of Melbourne. The founding club also encompasses cricket and netball, making it a genuine multi-sport community organisation from its earliest days.

Club History
The Hawks won their first senior premiership in 1976 in B Grade, before earning promotion to A Grade in 1977. After years of consolidation at the top level, the club claimed the A Grade flag in 1987 - their highest-grade triumph. Two A3 Grade premierships followed in 1980 and 1984, and in 2004 the senior side claimed the B Grade title undefeated, capping an extraordinary season. The club has produced five premierships in total across its history.
Avondale Heights is also notable for the AFL talent it has produced. Matthew Lloyd went on to play 270 games for Essendon, kicking a club-record 926 goals, winning the Coleman Medal, and earning induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Other graduates include Ken Mansfield (48 games, Essendon, 1976-80), Peter Baxter (23 games, Footscray, 1985-88), Brad Lloyd (11 games, Hawthorn, 1997-99), and Gary Barrow (6 games, Footscray, 1992-93).

Home Ground
The Hawks play their home games at Canning Street Reserve, located in the heart of Avondale Heights. The ground has served as the club's base since its early years and is shared with the club's cricket and netball sections, cementing its role as a true community sporting hub in Melbourne's north-west.

Community and Programs
The Avondale Heights Football Club fields teams from under-10s through to open-age, providing a pathway for juniors in the area to develop their game from grassroots level all the way to senior competition. The club's multi-sport structure - incorporating football, cricket, and netball - means families can participate across multiple codes under the one banner, reinforcing its status as a pillar of local community life.
