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.
Nevertheless, let's hope this competitions core clubs can fly the banner high and have a big impact on 2026.

Port Melbourne sell pokies
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.
The club will invest in alternative revenue streams to keep the club prospering into the future.
As it currently sits this leaves a 3-4 split of standalone VFL clubs who don’t have pokies vs the 3 that do
Standalone VFL clubs Coburg, Frankston, Port Melbourne & Sandringham don’t have pokie machines while Southport,Werribee & Williamstown do.
It’s a bold move by Port Melbourne & hopefully can strengthen them long term on and off the field

What is the long term viability of the competition
Since it’s off season i decided to ask what does the future of the comp look like long term and what it means for the standalone clubs since it has become clear we are disposable to the afl and we will have to go without the afl some day
