Overview

The Tasmania Devils did not compete this season as the Australian Football League withdrew them. The Bendigo Bombers could not play at their home ground Queen Elizabeth Oval because it was in poor shape. The Bendigo Bombers had other problems: after the season was finished, they had no wins after 20 rounds. Frankston Dolphins had problems as well after their grandstand was burnt down after the 2008 season. North Ballarat Roosters and Williamstown Seagulls were the strong teams for the regular season. Coburg had a disappointing season: after starting off well they lost their first coach Jade Rawlings half way through the season because he stepped in as the replacement for Terry Wallace at Richmond. The Grand Final will be held at Etihad Stadium on 25 September 2009.
