About Highett Bulldogs Football Club
Origins and Founding
The Highett Football Netball Club was established in 1929, when the club joined the Federal Football League competing initially in the junior section. By 1934 the club had entered a side in Division 2, and after three consecutive runner-up finishes in 1936, 1937 and 1938, the Bulldogs claimed their first premiership in 1939. Located in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs within the City of Kingston local government area, Highett has been represented by the Bulldogs for nearly a century.
Club History
After stepping up to senior football in 1945, the Bulldogs endured a long rebuilding period, collecting the wooden spoon on five occasions. A turning point came in 1970 when the club made the finals for the first time, and in 1971 the Bulldogs claimed their first senior premiership. The 1973 season stands as the club's finest: five of seven teams across all age groups reached the finals, producing a senior and reserves double premiership along with a Division 2 flag. The Bulldogs added another Federal Football League flag in 1974 and a final Federal League title in 1979.
After the Federal Football League dissolved in 1981, Highett transferred to the South East Suburban Football League (SEFL). In 1989 the Bulldogs merged with the neighbouring Highett West Football Club (the Kookaburras) to form the Highett Districts Football Club. A turbulent decade followed, including a drop to Division 3 in 1995, but a Division 3 premiership in 1996 sparked a revival. By 1997 the club had reverted to the Highett Football Club identity. A Division 2 premiership in 2004 returned the Bulldogs to Division 1 of what is now the Southern Football Netball League (SFNL), where further Division 2 flags followed in 2011 and 2018. Junior football arrived formally in 2001 when the Moorabbin United Junior Football Club aligned with Highett to form the Highett Junior Football Club, fielding age groups from under-9s to under-17s.
Home Ground
The Bulldogs play all home games at Turner Road Reserve in Highett, one of the City of Kingston's most versatile sporting precincts. The main oval hosts senior SFNL football, while the broader complex also accommodates cricket through the Bayside Cricket Club - a merged entity formed in 2017 from the historic Highett Cricket Club (established 1887) and the Moorabbin Park Panthers. The Turner Road facility also includes a children's playground and is adjacent to the Waves Leisure Centre, an Olympic-length swimming pool first opened in 1964 by the former City of Moorabbin.
Community and Programs
The Highett Football Netball Club runs both football and netball programs, with the club's name reflecting a long-standing community commitment to both sports. The junior club provides a clear pathway from the under-9s through to the open-age ranks, with junior sides competing in the South Metro Junior Football League (SMJFL). The club has a strong local identity within Highett and the broader City of Kingston, drawing supporters from surrounding suburbs including Hampton, Cheltenham, Moorabbin and Sandringham.
Highett
Highett is a suburban locality in Melbourne, Victoria, situated approximately 16 kilometres south-east of the CBD. With a population of 12,016 recorded at the 2021 Census, the suburb sits across the City of Bayside and City of Kingston local government areas and is bordered by Hampton, Moorabbin, Cheltenham and Sandringham. The area grew substantially from the 1950s onwards, drawing families and professionals to its tree-lined streets and proximity to Port Phillip Bay. The suburb is also known as the setting for Barry Humphries' 1959 song "The Highett Waltz".
The Bulldogs compete in the Southern Football Netball League (SFNL) and call Turner Road Reserve, Highett home. Visit the club website for news and fixtures, follow them on Facebook, and follow them on Instagram for photos and match day updates.

Creating the Break-Through Slits
-
Vertical Slits: Cut small slits (20–30 cm long) in the centre—this engineered weak spot ensures a clean break when players burst through.

💡 Tips & Tricks
-
Single Weak Spot: Some players cut only one slit to save and display the torn banner—repair later with clear tape on the reverse.
-
Logo Preservation: Position your slit to one side of the mascot or logo so your club’s emblem stays intact and can be retained afterwards for display.
