– Both these clubs are officially named Black Rock Football Club, although they play two different sports in two different countries. I'm not familiar with Aussie Rules football article naming processes, but I looked up a few other teams in their league and their articles use the full 'Football Club' as opposed to FC. However, given their official Full Names are identical, disambiguation is probably still required. RedPatch (talk) 03:28, 16 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Comment - why not simply hatnote between the two? Giant Snowman 08:30, 17 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Given that both teams have the same full name: Black Rock Football Club, wouldn't disambiguation be required just like how periods in an FC are given disambiguation ie XYZ FC and XYZ F.C. or same names with and without diacritics both get disambiguated? I noticed that other Aussie rules football teams, while they use the full Football Club as the article title, have redirects from the FC term, such as Adelaide FC redirects to Adelaide Football Club.

Support moving second article but not the first. Black Rock FC gets 26 times as many pageviews as the other one, so it is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Black Rock Jets might also be worth considering for the title of the second one (although I don't know how much of its history used that name). — BarrelProof (talk) 22:01, 17 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Comment I agree with GS, a simple hash note would work fine. Govvy (talk) 12:01, 23 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per the above. There are instances where one person's article title is at their common nickname while their formal given name is the same as that of another person with an article, and this is resolved with hatnotes. I see no great distinction with this situation. BD2412 T 17:37, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
