The 2014 Victorian Football League season was the 133rd season of the Victorian Football Association/Victorian Football League Australian rules football competition. In a hard-fought 2014 VFL season, the Footscray Bulldogs took out the premiership, making them the first reserves team to win the VFL, and the tenth senior VFA/VFL premiership for the club. The Grand Final between Footscray and Box Hill was won by Footscray by 22 points.

League membership

[edit]

The VFL increased from fourteen teams to sixteen teams in 2014, following the end of two VFL-AFL affiliations:

  • AFL club Richmond and VFL club Coburg ended their alignment, which had been in place since 2001. Richmond re-entered a stand-alone reserves team in the VFL, having previously fielded one in the 2000 season. Coburg continued as a stand-alone VFL club, and returned to using 'the Lions' as its mascot, having been known by Richmond's nickname of 'the Tigers' during the affiliation.[1]
  • AFL club Western Bulldogs and VFL club Williamstown ended their alignment. The Bulldogs entered its stand-alone reserves team in the VFL for the first time, playing under the club's traditional name of Footscray. Williamstown continued as a stand-alone VFL club.[2][3]

The Development League was reduced from ten teams to nine, with North Ballarat withdrawing its team;[4] this left only the nine metropolitan VFL clubs competing in the seconds competition, with all five AFL clubs and both regional VFL clubs (North Ballarat and Bendigo) absent.

Foxtel Cup

[edit]

The top two non-AFL teams from the 2013 VFL season – Box Hill and Williamstown – competed in the 2014 Foxtel Cup. Williamstown won the competition, defeating WAFL team West Perth in the Grand Final.

Main article: 2014 Foxtel Cup

The two highest ranked non-AFL exclusive teams from the 2013 season (premiers Box Hill and third placed Williamstown) were invited to compete in the Foxtel Cup knockout competition for 2014. Box Hill was eliminated in the first round of the tournament, and Williamstown recorded comfortable victories in all three fixtures, earning a second Foxtel Cup title in club history.
