History

The club was established in 1913.[1] It was intermittently in the Federal Association before moving to the Berwick FA from 1929 to 1934 and then onto the Caulfield-Oakleigh FL. Heatherton stayed in that competition until 1941 when it disbanded for the duration of World War II.

Reforming in 1946 the club was again in the Federal League. Heatherton had embraced commercialism and changed its name to Freighters Football Club for seasons 1951 and 1952, making their first grand final in 1951 only to be defeated by Mordialloc. After 1952 the club went into recess.

The club re-appeared in 1974 and contested what would be the final season of the CYMS competition, and it won its first premiership defeating Elwood. From 1975 until 1989 the club played in the Victorian Amateur Football Association[2] Leaving the Amateurs the club moved to ESCFA in 1990 and played in its C grade competition. In 1993 the association was absorbed in the Southern Football League.

gollark: I had segfaults when running potatOS a bit, but I tweaked the code to stop it randomly erroring as much and it now doesn't do that.
gollark: I'd like to, but I'm not really sure what causes it.
gollark: Do you have it running Moonscript somehow?
gollark: I wonder if it's non-case-sensitive on Windows.
gollark: Also, it's quite hard to use the mounting thing without that, since the paths work differently and you're reliant on CraftOS-PC to guess what you want.
