    News St Kilda to field standalone VFL team in 2026

    St Kilda’s decision to launch a standalone VFL team in 2026 marks a pivotal step in shaping the club’s future. AFL-aligned VFL teams operate under a $110,000 salary cap, while standalone clubs are allowed to spend up to $220,000. On paper, this might appear to disadvantage the Saints, but match...
