	University
		University endured a similar hard time during its brief initial stint in the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (precursor of the Victorian Amateur Football Association) in 1893, but when it resumed in the competition after a twelve year break in 1905 the club was much better organised, and boasted quite a large number of talented footballers.
		Melbourne and University were the only clubs to vote against the measure (all clubs had two delegates each).
		University's senior team participated in the VFL's junior competition in 1919 and 1920, finishing runners up to Collingwood both years, but in 1921 it re-joined the Metropolitan Amateur Football Association (see footnote 1), where its own reserves team was already participating.

	Melbourne Football Club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Founded in 1858, it is the oldest football club in Australia and is one of the oldest in the world.
		The underlying problem for Melbourne and the other older clubs is that the new Australian Football League, a 16-team national competition, has left too many clubs in Melbourne, a city which despite its great tradition of passionate support for Australian Rules Football, cannot financially support ten clubs competing against wealthy and successful interstate newcomers.
		Melbourne has an additional vulnerability, in that it is yet to establish a permanent home base, with current administration, training and social bases scattered around various venues of the MCG, Junction Oval and the Bentleigh Club.

	RL!908 - Sydney Swans and Melbourne Storm football history
		The matches attracted enough interest for the Waratahs and the Sydney University clubs to put to the NSWRU that scrums and unlimited running with the ball should be removed from rugby.
		In the meantime, the NSWRU regularly dismissed proposals from the Victorian Football Association for a 'merged-rules' football contest between the colonies.
		The VFL instructed the two Melbourne clubs to leave the gate-money behind, so it could be spent in Sydney on expanding the code.

		The Cordner name is synonymous with Melbourne's establishment: Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne University, Melbourne Football Club and, beyond family and friends, his greatest love - the Melbourne Cricket Club.
