Affiliations

As a Victorian Football League club, the Northern Blues are affiliated with AFL club Carlton. The alignment sees Carlton players regularly playing for the Northern Blues in the VFL as the club aims to help Carlton develop its younger players into regular AFL footballers.

The Northern Knights provide the primary development pathway for U/18 footballers to be drafted into the AFL system. If Knights players miss out on being drafted at this stage they are encouraged to play with the Northern Blues to continue their development and their aim of being drafted to an AFL club.

The Northern Blues enjoy a fantastic working relationship with the Northern Football League as evidenced by the club hosting the NFL Finals at Preston City Oval from 2007 - 2011. In moving forward the Northern Blues will host a number of regular season NFL matches in addition to the finals series to ensure we represent the centre for elite football in the north.

It is the aim of the Northern Blues to create a centre for football in Melbourne's north, based at Preston City Oval. The relationships with both the NFL and the Knights are crucial in ensuring that football in the north is successful.

The Northern Blues also have an affiliated junior club in the Preston Junior Football Club. Playing in the Yarra Valley Junior Football League, the young Bullants also play home matches at Preston City Oval. With the development of these budding young footballers it is hoped that they develop into strong footballers throughout their career with the Knights and the Northern Blues or even further.
