The 2015 Victorian Football League season was the 134th season of the Victorian Football Association/Victorian Football League Australian rules football competition.

Fifteen teams competing in the league. The season commenced on Friday 17 April and concluded Sunday 27 September with the VFL Grand Final, won by Williamstown, who defeated Box Hill by 54 points at Etihad Stadium. It was Williamstown's 14th top division premiership.

League membership

[edit]

The size of the league reduced from sixteen teams to fifteen for the 2015 season, following the withdrawal and disbanding of the Bendigo Football Club. Bendigo had enjoyed stability from 2003 until 2012 in a reserves affiliation with the Australian Football League's Essendon, but following Essendon's establishment of a stand-alone reserves team in 2013, Bendigo had struggled to remain competitive as a stand-alone club. In June 2014, half-way through what would finish as its second consecutive winless season, the club concluded that it was not financially viable in the long term and announced it would play out the 2014 season before folding.[1]

Premiership season

[edit]

Specific feature of the fixture included:[2][3]

  • A Grand Final replay between Footscray and Box Hill Hawks headlining the opening round of a twenty-round season.
  • At least two AFL curtain raiser games to be played, with the Northern Blues to face North Ballarat in Round 5 and Frankston in Round 11 as curtain raisers to Carlton matches.
  • Four night matches will be a feature of the season.
  • Two matches, each between two AFL reserves teams, will be played in Bendigo at Queen Elizabeth Oval.
  • The Seven Network to broadcast one match of the round live in Victoria, midday or 11.30am each weekend.

Notable events

[edit]
  • After having televised VFA/VFL matches weekly since the 1987 finals series, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation ended its broadcasting arrangement with the VFL.[10] A new broadcast deal covering the 2015 and 2016 seasons was signed with the Seven Network, which televised the match of the round live into Melbourne as a lead-in to its AFL coverage.[11]
