Elsternwick Park's management leased the ground for the full winter to the Victorian Amateur Soccer Association for 750 pounds, beating Brighton's offer of 300 pounds and leaving the VFA club without a home.
Brighton later lost an appeal to the Brighton Council by the mayor's casting vote and had to merge to survive.
Grounds
The top five SANFL clubs released a joint statement declining an invitation to play in the 2011 Foxtel Cup, citing issues including prize money, sponsorship conflicts and the salary cap.
State leagues
Preston Football Club, stripped of its VFL licence in October, entered voluntary liquidation after a meeting of members, having found no viable path to readmission despite early hopes of a 2027 or 2028 return.
The club had amalgamated with Northcote in 1912, and had its licence withdrawn in 1997 only to see it restored after one month.
