The Redan team was made up from miners from the Band of Hope mine and their average weight was 14 Stone (90 kg).

Edwards is the first player in BFL history to win four consecutive Henderson Medals.

The club also has four winners of the Tony Lockett Medal, for the leading goalscorer in the Ballarat Football League.

Redan currently play their home matches at City Oval in Ballarat and play in a predominantly maroon strip with a maroon top band and a lion logo on the chest.

Former Adelaide Crows coach, the late Phil Walsh, played for Redan prior to be being recruited by Collingwood.
