The Victorian Football Club, often referred to as Victorians or Vics, was an Australian rules football club based in Perth, Western Australia.
Formed in 1885, the club was a founding member of the West Australian Football Association (WAFA), which was established the same year.
[1] The following week, on 8 May, representatives of Victorians and two other clubs, Rovers and Fremantle, met at the Criterion Hotel, establishing the West Australian Football Association.
Rules for the match were variable – the game began with a kick-off instead of a ball-up, and one player, Drummond of the Rovers, carried the ball behind the line in an attempt to score a Rugby-style "touchdown".
[5] At the general meeting of the club in April 1886, Dixson was replaced by H. Wilson as secretary, and J. C. H. James moved to the position of chairman, allowing Edward V. H. Keane to assume the position of president of the club.
