Aussie Rules (measured in numbers of players, clubs, or leagues) has been a Victorian preoccupation. The amateur Victorian Football Association (VFA) commenced in 1877, and initially comprised of a mixture of metropolitan and country clubs: Albert Park, Ballarat, Barwon, Beechworth, Carlton, Castlemaine, Geelong, Hotham, Inglewood, Melbourne, Rochester and St Kilda. In 1897 eight clubs broke away to form the professional Victorian Football League: Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Fitzroy, Geelong, Melbourne, St Kilda and South Melbourne. Richmond and University joined the VFL in 1908 (University withdrew in 1915), and in 1925 three VFA clubs moved across to the VFL: Footscray, Hawthorn and North Melbourne.

This brought to 12 the number of teams in the VFL, all based in Victoria, until South Melbourne's move to Sydney in 1982, and the addition of interstate clubs in 1987 (West Coast Eagles, Brisbane), 1991 (Adelaide) and 1997 (Port Adelaide, whose arrival came at the expense of Fitzroy). The VFL became the Australian Football League (AFL) in 1990, and the VFA's name was changed to the (new) VFL in 1996. From 2000, the reserves teams of Victorian clubs also competed in the VFL competition.

9 AFL Teams Home Grounds
Before the Docklands, before Waverley, every team had their own ground. Grounds where the spectators sat in discomfort and watched from wooden benches and the meat-pies were always cold. Now it's all big business, do you remember the old days?
