The 2014 VAFA season was the 114th season of the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA), the largest senior community Australian rules football competition in Victoria. [1] The season began on 5 April and concluded on 20 September, with 72 teams participating across seven divisions under a promotion and relegation system. [2]
After a last-placed finish in Division 3 in 2013, the Old Westbourne Football Club split into two new clubs. [3] The majority of the club formed the Wyndham Suns, changing Old Westbourne's name and competing in the under-19s competition without a senior team. [4] [5] A group of Old Westbourne players and officials formed a new club known as Westbourne Grammarians, which entered Division 4. [6]
Canterbury left the Eastern Football League (EFL) and entered the VAFA. [7] [8] Mt Lilydale withdrew from the VAFA senior competition as part of a club rebuild, entering Club XVIII for the 2014 season. [4] [9]
