Kilmore Football Club

Kilmore signaled their intention to move from the Riddell District Football League to the Northern Football League (Australia) after the 2015 season, citing a lack of players committed to playing in the RDFL as many of their players are based in the NFL's catchment area. The RDFL rejected the transfer and AFL Victoria have been called in to resolve the situation. Kilmore have said that they will go into recess if the appeal is unsuccessful. Both leagues later agreed to the transfer.
