The West Preston Lakeside Football Club, nicknamed the Roosters, is an Australian rules football club based in the Melbourne suburb of Reservoir. It was formed following a merger between West Preston and Reservoir-Lakeside in 1998.
As of 2024, the club's men's team competes in currently competing in Division 1 of the Northern Football Netball League (NFNL), while the women's team competes in Division 2 of the NFNL Women's. The club also fields junior and netball teams.
The West Preston Football Club, nicknamed the Roosters, was formed in 1948 and entered the CYMS Football Association. [2] It remained there until 1963, when it joined the YCW Football League. The club fielded a number of junior teams, with more than 10 junior players going onto play in the Victorian Football League (VFL, now AFL). [2]
In 1981, as the club continued to grow, West Preston successfully applied to enter the Diamond Valley Football League (DVFL). [2] [3]
The Reservoir-Lakeside Football Club, nicknamed the Lakies, was formed in 1947 and entered the DVFL the same year. [2] It won a Division 1 senior premiership in 1965 − going on to win two more in 1975 and 1977 − while also winning sixteen reserves and thirds premierships. [2] [4]
On 23 March 1998, members of West Preston and Reservoir-Lakeside met and voted on a proposal to merge the clubs. By this point, Reservoir-Lakeside was struggling to field teams. The proposal passed, and the merged club entered the DVFL for the 1998 season. [5]
The merged club had immediate success, missing out on the finals series by only one game in its first season. It won the minor premiership in 2000, but was defeated by Northcote Park in the grand final. The first premiership came in 2003 with a victory over Montmorency. [2]
A second premiership was won in 2010 with a victory over Heidelberg, who had won the past four premierships. [2] In 2018, West Preston Lakeside became the first NFL club to win men's and women's premierships in the same season, with grand final victories over Macleod and Montmorency respectively. [6] [7]
