Zillmere Eagles Australian Football Club (formerly Windsor-Zillmere, North Brisbane and Northern Eagles) is an Australian rules football club based in the suburb of Zillmere in the northern suburbs of Brisbane. The team plays in the QAFA Division 4.
Zillmere reformed the senior side in 2013 and was undefeated all year in the SEQAFL State Div 4 northern competition, and once competed in the AFL Queensland Australian Football League, where it ceased to play in 2008.
The club also fields women's (in the AFL Queensland Women's League) and junior teams.




History


The original Zillmere FC had been established in 1923. The team won 13 QAFL championships until 1962, when the "Windsor-Zillmere FC" was formed from the merger of Zillmere and neighbouring Windsor Football Club. The club would win four QAFL premierships (and being runner-ups three times) between 1975 and 1988.
Another merged was in 1991, when Zillmere joined Sandgate to form "North Brisbane FC". Under that name, the club won the 1995 QAFL championship, but financial difficulties forced it into recess in 1996. A re-financed "Northern Eagles" were formed in 1997, then renamed "Zillmere Eagles" in 2005.
In October 2008, the AFLQ transferred the licence from Zillmere Eagles to neighbouring club Aspley as part of an independent review which looked into the best long term option for Australian football in North Brisbane.
