The VFL was where the AFL originated. A man named Thomas Wills had designed the game with his two brothers, for cricketers to remain fit during winter in the off season. Tom, being a Victorian himself decided that he would make a league out of the game called the Victorian Football League. A total of 12 teams were in the league including some from todays league like the Geelong cats. The sport eventually spread to other states and the Australian Football League was created. There are now 16 teams in the official AFL and two more are in the making. One being from the Gold Coast and one being from Sydney.
