Club song

The club song is sung to the tune of Road to Gundagai.

We’re a team, what a team
We’re the best you’ve ever seen
We are the boys/girls from Vultureland
While the others keep on trying
We’ll have the flag a flying
Up on Mt Gravatt
We’re the team in the finals
That’s where we will be
Leaving other teams behind us
Amazed at our speed
Blue and White is our pride
And we’ll battle side by side
We are the boys/girls from Vultureland!

This was a remarkable effort considering the vultures finished 5th for the season. In 2019 Frazer Neate claimed top honours at the 74th Grogan Medal count.

Joe Grant Medal

The Joe Grant Medal is awarded to the player judged best on field in a grand final. Mount Gravatt has two Joe Grant Medallists. The first was Tony Lynn in the 2002 grand final victory, and the second was Ash Evans in the 2007 grand final victory.

Ray Hughson Medal

The Ray Hughson Medal is awarded to the QAFL leading goal kicker at the end of the year. Mount Gravatt has one Ray Hughson Medallist: Shane Dupuy, who kicked 80 goals in the 1996 season.
