About Wilston Grange Australian Football Club
Origins and Founding
The Wilston Grange Australian Football Club was established in 1945 as the "Wilston Football Club" and was renamed Wilston Grange in 1947. The club entered the Queensland Australian National Football League (QANFL) as a senior competition team in 1950, quickly establishing itself as a competitive force in Brisbane's inner-north. An earlier Wilston Football Club had existed from the early 1930s until 1939 but ceased operations during the war years, making the 1945 re-establishment the beginning of the modern club's continuous history. The club's home for its first years of competition was Emerson Park in Grange.

Club History
The Wilston Grange Gorillas adopted their distinctive nickname around 1958, inspired by player Ken Grimley upon his return to the club. The Gorillas won three QAFL premierships - in 1955, 1969, and 1972 - with the 1972 flag, coached by Alan Killigrew, an especially dominant performance that saw the Gorillas defeat Sandgate by a record 84 points. High-flying full forward Steve Taylor kicked a century of goals in four consecutive seasons from 1969 to 1972. In 1989, Wilston Grange merged with Kedron to form the Kedron Grange Football Club, competing together until 1996. The club recommenced senior football in 1995 and was re-admitted to the QAFL in 2014, returning top-flight football to Hickey Park. Four players - Keith Leach, Ken Grimley, Barry Clarke, and Scott McIvor - are members of the AFL Queensland Hall of Fame.

Home Ground
Wilston Grange relocated from Emerson Park to Hickey Park, Stafford in 1964. The opening ceremony of the oval featured VFL legend Ron Barassi as guest of honour and was broadcast live on Brisbane radio. Today, Hickey Park at 35 Babarra Street, Stafford, holds up to 5,000 spectators and also serves as the home of the largest AFL9s competition in Queensland, reflecting the club's ongoing commitment to growing the game at all levels.

Community and Programs
The Gorillas field senior men's and women's, masters, youth, and junior teams under the one club structure. The women's team was founded in 2014 and competes in the QWAFL State League. The club's junior program is one of the largest in Brisbane's northern suburbs, feeding directly into senior pathways. The Gorillas' Auskick program introduces the game to young children, while the AFL9s competition at Hickey Park draws participants from across South East Queensland, making the club a central hub for Australian football in the region.

Stafford and Wilston
Stafford is a suburb in inner-northern Brisbane, located approximately 7 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD. Part of the Brisbane City Council area, it borders Grange and Wilston to the south and is characterised by post-war residential development and strong community sporting culture. Wilston itself is one of Brisbane's older established suburbs, home to heritage-listed streetscapes and a well-regarded local shopping strip. Together, the Wilston-Grange-Stafford corridor forms the geographic heart of the club's supporter base.
The Gorillas compete in the QAFL and call Hickey Park, Stafford home. Visit the club website for more information, follow them on Facebook, and follow them on Instagram for news and match day updates.
