The Victorian Football League (VFL) is a professional Australian rules football league based in the state of Victoria, Australia. Founded in 1897, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious football competitions in the country. The VFL serves as the highest level of competition within Victoria, with teams representing various suburbs and regions across the state.
Over the years, the VFL has played a significant role in shaping Australian rules football. It has been a breeding ground for some of the sport's greatest players, many of whom have gone on to achieve success at the national level in the Australian Football League (AFL).
The VFL season typically runs from April to September, culminating in a highly anticipated grand final where the top two teams compete for the premiership title. The grand final is held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), an iconic sporting venue with a capacity of over 100,000 spectators.
In recent times, the VFL has undergone several changes to its structure and operations. It has evolved into a development league for the AFL, providing a pathway for aspiring players to showcase their skills and potentially earn a spot on an AFL team's list. This has led to the inclusion of AFL reserves teams in the VFL competition, alongside standalone VFL clubs.
The VFL continues to be a beloved part of Victoria's sporting culture, attracting passionate fans and generating excitement throughout the state. With its rich history and tradition, the league remains an integral part of Australian rules football and serves as a vital platform for the growth and development of the sport.

Some of these recordings would have been used in the 1960s until 1972 when the now famous recordings were used for team banner runs and victory over the loud speakers.

The Come'on the Cats would have been used as an unofficial theme song from the 60s and 70s, much like how Cat Attack was used during the early 90s as an unofficial theme song.

It was actually created in the 80s

It was an official song for a while, but the response was awful. When it was first played, it was common to hear about the bloke who wrote the song, Barry Crocker, to be called ‘Barry Shocker’ by people around Geelong. *This is from my uncle btw*

In the past it was up to the club committees, who sometimes put it to a member vote. Nowadays it is up to the board of directors. Officially I believe Richmond still says the lyric to their song is “risking head and shin”, but the Fable Singers were given mistyped lyrics that read, “risking head and skin”. It’s unfortunate that Footscray changed their name and song. At the time they were trying to broaden their appeal to all of the Western suburbs to drum up support and avoid a merger with Fitzroy. A lot of the lyrics to their new song were actually lifted from the anti-merger protest song recorded by Mike Brady, like saying “snarling” instead of “smiling”. Clubs have frequently changed their names to both appeal to a wider area and receive funding from multiple local councils. Smithton in the NWFL changed their name to the Circular Head Giants as a way to appeal to their entire municipality, but went in to recess two years later. They are back now as the Circular Head Saints, a compromise between their old and new names. Mangalore in southern Tasmania changed their name to Brighton at the behest of the Brighton council in exchange for increased funding. Probably the worst change was North Hobart going against the votes of their members to change their emblem from Robins to Demons. A lot of people left the club over it and the “Demons” struggled on-field for years afterwards despite being recent State Premiers. To me you have to have a damn good reason to make those kinds of changes. People don’t realise how many people it alienates when you make changes that may seem superficial.

They changed the lyrics.

@LomuHabana 27 дней назад

I thought so too, but then I realised the old lyrics was “South will go in and win over all”. After the move to Sydney they changed it to “Swans will go in..”. Apart from that it used to be the same. Recently they replaced “sons” in “While our loyal sons are marching onwards to victory” to “swans” to be politically correct because they have women’s team too now. Oh yeah, and the line “What though the odds…” has been changed to “whether the odds”.

It wasn’t AFL until 1990

@everythingafl4535 Год назад

The reason I included 'AFL' in the title is because some of the songs are older ones from teams that are currently in the league.
