Port Melbourne Football Club Since the AFL reserves competition merged with the Victorian Football League in 2000, Port Melbourne has been involved in two affiliations: with the Sydney Swans (2001–2002), and with the North Melbourne Kangaroos (2003–2005); since 2006, Port Melbourne has existed as a stand-alone VFL club.
List of VFL/AFL premiers Since the introduction by the League of equalisation policies of a salary cap and draft in 1987,[5] every team currently competing in the Australian Football League (except for Gold Coast, which has not yet qualified for a finals series) has made a preliminary final. This has had a significant impact on the spread of premierships: since 1990, thirteen clubs have won a premiership, compared with only five clubs between 1967 and 1989.[6] Essendon and Carlton have won the most VFL/AFL premierships with 16 each. Of the teams currently competing in the Australian Football League, only Fremantle, Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney – three of the competition's four newest teams – are yet to win a premiership.
