St Francis Xavier are still in their infancy in the VAFA, but since they commenced in 2007, they have already made an impression. Most obviously via their Division 4 premiership year in 2011, although they were also runner up in that section in 2008. A couple of finals appearances in Division 3 have demonstrated that the club has a thirst to continue its climb up the VAFA charts. They have also produced one of the most dominant footballers of the lower sections in recent years, three-time section best and fairest winner Dimitri Dimakopoulos. More recently, the club struggled to produce a seniors and reserves prior to the 2015 season and thus played in Club XVIII (2), winning the flag with a dominant display against MHSOB. Another grand final appearance in 2016, this time a loss to Hawthorn Spartans in Club XVIII (1), and the club agreed to return to Division 4 for the 2017 season.
