We’re a unique club with a long and proud history being the only founding club of the M.J.F.A./V.A.F.A. still in existence, along with being one of the first VAFA clubs to found a women’s team in 2017.

From modest beginnings over 100 years ago, Collegians continues to fill a unique place in the history of Australian football. Collegians can look forward to the next 100 years with pride in the past and enthusiasm for the future.
