The AFL Dogs will host Essendon from 2pm while the VFL sides go head-to-head from 5pm, marking the first major event in the season-long celebration of Footscray Football Club’s entry into the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1925.
Essendon played a significant role in Footscray’s entry to the league, with the teams facing off in the ‘Championship of Victoria’ game in 1924, Footscray as VFA champions and Essendon as VFL champions. Footscray’s emphatic win helped ensure that the red, white and blue gained admission to the VFL the following season.
