Wyndhamvale

After a decade or so as an under age club Wyndhamvale added a senior grade side in 1985 which, like the juniors, began competing in the Western Suburban Football League. In 1987 the Falcons crossed to the Geelong District Football League where they spent a couple of seasons before crossing to the Footscray District Football League in 1989. In both 1989 and 1994 they were losing grand finalists in Division Three of the latter competition before going into recess between 1995 and 1998. After reforming in 1999 the Falcons again affiliated with the FDFL. Their only senior grade flag was won in the FDFL's Division Two competition in 2015. After topping the premiership ladder with a 16-2 record the Falcons trounced West Footscray by 62 points in the second semi final to move straight into the grand final in which West Footscray again provided the opposition. Once again, Wyndhamvale proved too good, winning by 49 points, 17.12 (114) to 10.5 (65).

The Falcons' first season in Division One in 2016 produced just 2 wins from 16 matches which meant the wooden spoon, a result that was repeated in 2017, albeit that the 2 wins were obtained from 2 more matches. In 2018 they again ended up in last place after recording just a single win from 18 games.
