The AFL Australian Football League is the top professional Australian rules football league in the world. The league consists of eighteen teams: nine based in the city of Melbourne, one from regional Victoria, and eight based in other Australian states. The reason for this unbalanced geographic distribution lies in the history of the league, which was based solely within Victoria from the time it was established in 1897, until the time the league expanded through the addition of clubs from interstate to the existing teams starting in the 1980s; until this expansion, the league was known as the VFL (Victorian Football League).

Only a year passed before Sorrento was celebrating under Olle's masterful leadership its first premiership in 18 years, defeating Frankston by 3 points 12-6-78 to 11-9-75 in a thriller. In a record-breaking 3-stint virtuoso over nine seasons, the first and second as playing coach the third and final as non-playing coach (1982). Olle and president Jim Thoms (ex-Footscray) were instrumental in attracting numerous talented VFL/VFA players to the club to mount the 1953 premiership assault - Mike Fitchett (Hawthorn), Dick Kennedy, Alby Morrison (Footscray), Fred Stafford, Ron Wilson (St.Kilda) and Norm Spencer (Brunswick).
