The Glenorchy District Football Club is an Australian rules football club currently playing in the Tasmanian State League and the Southern Football League in Tasmania, Australia.

History

The club is nicknamed the Magpies after its black and white playing strip, and was originally known as New Town Football Club (wearing a green and white strip) when it started out as a member of the Tasmanian Football League in 1919.

New Town changed its name to Glenorchy in 1957 after absorbing the already established club Glenorchy Rovers and relocated its headquarters to KGV Oval at Glenorchy in Hobart's northern suburbs in the same year, playing its first match at the venue on 4 May 1957 against Hobart. It remains there to this day. After the death of the Tasmanian Football League in December 2000, the club was temporarily without a league to play in.

After some political maneuvering within football circles, Glenorchy were admitted to the Southern Football League, but at a high price from a traditional standpoint, with the club being forced, as a condition of entry to the League, to give up its black-and-white playing strip as well as its Magpies emblem, as it clashed with former Southern Amateur club Claremont Magpies, who were already a member of the SFL.

Glenorchy announced in early 2001 that they would adopt a new green, black & white playing uniform, and be known as the "Glenorchy Storm". This was not popular with fans, many of whom drifted away from the club, and its membership and support base decreased rapidly.

There was to be considerable rejoicing amongst its fans in 2004, after persistent pressure from the club, and the fact that Claremont were now playing in the SFL Regional League, which resulted in Glenorchy being granted the return of its black-and-white strip, and the Magpie emblem.

Glenorchy Football Club, also known as the Glenorchy Magpies, is a proud and historic Australian Rules football team based in Glenorchy, Tasmania. The club was founded in 1919 and has a rich tradition of success in the Tasmanian Football League.

The team's colors are black and white, and they are known for their fierce competitiveness and never-say-die attitude on the field. The Glenorchy Magpies have a strong and passionate fan base who turn out in force to support their team at every game.

The club has a strong focus on developing local talent and has produced many talented players who have gone on to play at higher levels of the sport. The Glenorchy Magpies are known for their tough, physical style of play and their ability to never give up, no matter the odds.

Overall, the Glenorchy Football Club is a respected and successful team with a proud history and a bright future ahead.
