116th season of the Victorian Amateur Football Association From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2016 VAFA season was the 116th season of the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA), the largest senior community Australian rules football competition in Victoria.[1] The season began on 9 April and concluded on 18 September, with 70 teams participating across seven divisions under a promotion and relegation system.[2]

On 1 July 2016, the VAFA announced it would make changes to the structures of Division 2, Division 3 and Division 4 following a review in order to ensure a "competitive and fair fixture" for the 2017 season.[3]
In early 2016, Glen Eira and the Monash Gryphons announced their intention to merge for the 2016 season.[4] This ultimately did not occur and the clubs remained separate entities, with Glen Eira competing in Division 3 while Monash participated in the Club XVIII competition.[5] The clubs would later amalgamate to form the Glen Eira Gryphons for the 2017 season.[6]
The Northern Blues changed its name to Preston Bullants Amateur Football Club, and NOBs/St Pat's was renamed to Brunswick NOBSPC.[7][8][9]
