League membership
Following its sole season in the VFL, the Brisbane-based Aspley Football Club withdrew from the competition, after reviewing its strategy as a football club and electing to focus on its QAFL and QFA teams and junior pathways without the burden of competing in the state level competition. The club departed with the shortest tenure of any VFA/VFL club in history, playing only ten games in the pandemic-interrupted 2021 season.[2]
Aspley's departure left Southport as the league's sole stand-alone senior club based outside Victoria. A total of 21 clubs held licences to compete in the 2022 season.[3]
