The Bendigo Bombers will split from Essendon at the end of the 2012 VFL season.
The club made the announcement at its grand final eve business luncheon this afternoon at the All Seasons Quality Resort
While Essendon will have to apply for a licence, Bendigo will be allowed to go stand-alone in 2013 because it has a licence to play in the VFL for the next three years.
To be known as the Bendigo Football Club, the team will wear navy blue and gold uniforms in line with traditional Bendigo colours.
The team's nickname is still to be decided.
