The 2016 VAFA season was the 116th season of the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA), the largest senior community Australian rules football competition in Victoria.[1] The season began on 9 April and concluded on 18 September, with 70 teams participating across seven divisions under a promotion and relegation system.[2]
Background
[edit]On 1 July 2016, the VAFA announced it would make changes to the structures of Division 2, Division 3 and Division 4 following a review in order to ensure a "competitive and fair fixture" for the 2017 season.[3]
- Division 2: Two clubs promoted to Division 1, one relegated to Division 3
- Division 3: Two clubs promoted to Division 2, three relegated to Division 4
- Division 4: Two clubs promoted to Division 3
Association membership
[edit]In early 2016, Glen Eira and the Monash Gryphons announced their intention to merge for the 2016 season.[4] This ultimately did not occur and the clubs remained separate entities, with Glen Eira competing in Division 3 while Monash participated in the Club XVIII competition.[5] The clubs would later amalgamate to form the Glen Eira Gryphons for the 2017 season.[6]
Name changes
[edit]The Northern Blues changed its name to Preston Bullants Amateur Football Club, and NOBs/St Pat's was renamed to Brunswick NOBSPC.[7][8][9]
