The Broadford Football Netball Club, nicknamed the Roos, is an Australian rules football and netball club and located 88 km north of Melbourne in the town of Broadford and is affiliated with the AFL Outer East.
History
Broadford was warned by the VCFL to clean up its act after ten players had fronted the tribunal during the year. One opposition player had his jaw broken in a behind the play incident. The Broadford coach, Paul Tilley, was suspended for two years because of his actions.[1]
On 17 September 2019, at the third and final Special General meeting, 52 eligible members cast their vote opting for Outer East (47) as their home of choice over the Riddell District Football Netball League (5).[2]
On 6 December 2023 during a Special General Meeting Broadford voted to go into recess for the 2024 football season.
