Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 2026

News topic: 
VFA / VFL News

Is just like to wish everyone involved with VFLFOOTY.COM all the very best for the Christmas period and hope that 2026 is a great year ahead.

The VFA/VFL will no doubt be worse this year with Preston, an integral part of the history of the competition missing this year. Even as an away supporter, visiting Preston City Oval was always something special.

Those great rivalries are what makes Victorian football in the states premier association /league special and its something we no longer get with the addition of most of the interstate clubs. 

Port Melbourne sell pokies

By Pimentver December 07, 2025

From vfl rewind on instagram. 

Breaking News. Port Melbourne VFL team have sold their Pokie Machines. The club will no longer be affiliated with Pokie Machines.

It’s huge news from a VFL perspective. The club operated its Pokie Machines out of The Rex hotel in Bay Street Port Melbourne for close to 30 years. 

It’s a similar move to what AFL clubs are doing as they withdraw from their Pokie machines as well. It’s the second VFL club we have seen Pull out of pokies with Frankston the most recent in 2015.

Standalone support and gentrification

By Pimentver October 30, 2025

What does gentrification mean for the long term future of the standalone clubs we don’t have the luxury of being a national brand like the afl clubs so what can vfl clubs do to make sure they have continued support even though the suburbs demographic that they represent changing for example williamstown has become probably the most upper class area of western Melbourne.

Phil Clearly calls for VFA recognition following AFL decision.

By NorthPort October 14, 2025

Paul Amy has penned another excellent article (behind a paywall) on the dangers that clubs including Coburg face in the modern landscape and called on the VFA clubs to honour the name of the competition.

If I can find a link to the article, I'll post it up.  It appeared in Mondays Herald-Sun.
