 | | For example, the Fitzroy Football Club is represented in the Victorian Amateur Football Association by the Fitzroy Reds, who wear Fitzroy guernseys and play their home games at the old Brunswick Street Oval. |
 | | Meanwhile, a rift in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) led to the formation of the Victorian Football League (VFL), which commenced play in 1897 as an eight-team breakaway of the stronger clubs in the VFA competition: Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Fitzroy, Geelong, Melbourne, St Kilda and South Melbourne. |
 | | In 1877, the Victorian Football Association, the game's first league, was formed by 12 clubs, most of them from the Victorian country: Albert Park, Ballarat, Barwon, Beechworth, Carlton, Castlemaine, Geelong, Hotham (later North Melbourne), Inglewood, Melbourne, Rochester and St Kilda. |
