The VFA continued to run independently, although more clubs shifted to the VFL in 1908 (Richmond, University) and 1925 (Footscray, Hawthorn, North Melbourne).

 Anti-VFA
The government is conscious of the growing protests against the VFA, and this is why it's trying to manouever the deliberations and ensure the VFA's swift and uncontested ratification without having to pass through the senate and the public hearings where some voice of firm dissent emanates," he said.
Beltran also pointed out that double-talk of the government that the VFA must be treated as an executive agreement and that for the sake of transparency that the senate should continue its public hearings and eventually decide to ratify is a strong signal that the people must be vigilant about the VFA.
Beltran said that the fight against the VFA was at a critical stage and it was becoming imperative that the the senators begin making up their minds as to support or junk the VFA.

 VFA: A Threat to All Filipinos : QC IMC
ANALYSIS VFA: A Threat to All Filipinos The Philippines hosts United States soldiers allegedly tasked with training their counterparts in the Philippine Armed Forces.
Unlike previous military agreements with the U.S., the VFA supposedly limits the nature of military activities to be held in the country; the number of troops involved, and the duration of the military activities.
And yet the Philippine government proclaims that the VFA is a fair agreement that does not degrade the country's sovereignty even if the mere presence of foreign troops is the most blatant expression of that degradation.

 DISSENTING OPINION OF PHIL. SUPREME COURT JUDGE ON VFA
If we turn, however, a heedful eye on the provisions of the VFA as well as the interpretation accorded to it by the government officials charged with its negotiation and implementation, the temporary nature of the visits would turn out to be a mirage in a desert of vague provisions of the VFA.
Neither the VFA nor the Mutual Defense Treaty between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America/2 to which the VFA refers in its preamble,/3 provides the slightest suggestion on the duration of visits of U.S. forces in Philippine territory.
The absence in the VFA of the slightest suggestion as to the duration of the visits of U.S. troops in Philippine territory, coupled with the lack of a limited term of effectivity of the VFA itself justify the interpretation that the VFA allows permanent, not merely temporary, presence of U.S. troops on Philippine soil.

 Text of High Court pleading re: VFA, Balikatan : SF Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
If VFA were construed to include rescue missions and training by shooting live targets, i.e., people,(i.e., combat operations) for a duration of six months to one year, then the VFA is unconstitutional.
In that meeting, it was agreed upon that the VFA provided the legal framework for Balikatan 02-1 and therefore upheld the legality of the Balikatan in light of the constitutionality of the VFA as enunciated in BAYAN vs. Executive Secretary.
The Senate Committee Report on the VFA also stated, based on the government’s representations, that the VFA shall be of four days to four weeks duration and covers mere joint military exercises.
