Is just like to wish everyone involved with VFLFOOTY.COM all the very best for the Christmas period and hope that 2026 is a great year ahead.

The VFA/VFL will no doubt be worse this year with Preston, an integral part of the history of the competition missing this year. Even as an away supporter, visiting Preston City Oval was always something special.

Those great rivalries are what makes Victorian football in the states premier association /league special and its something we no longer get with the addition of most of the interstate clubs.

The AFL has today confirmed the Tasmania Football Club will field teams in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and Victorian Football League Women’s (VFLW) in 2026.

Tasmania will join the competitions on a full-time basis from next season as the club continues preparations for entry into the AFL and AFLW after being awarded the 19th licence in 2023.

Tasmania previously competed in the VFL for eight seasons between 2001 to 2008.
