Club History
In 1983 at Monash University a group of students and friends formed the Monash Vipers.

Monash Vipers made contact with two other Clubs in Victoria the Melbourne Steelers and Frankston Outlaws.

The first organised game in Victoria was between three teams who played against New South Wales team.

First Victorian game was between the Vipers and Steelers. Vipers winning 8 - 7.

Late '83 early '84 Monash Vipers Committee having little response from the University (with regards to grounds and assistance) moved to Croydon, as the Croydon Council were able to assist them with a ground.

Early '84 Croydon together with the Steelers, Outlaws and Geelong Wildcats formed the Victorian Gridiron Football League with 1984 being the inaugural American Gridiron Football season in Victoria.

We played our first season at Ainslie Park in Croydon.

The first year was played without pads or helmets with Outlaws defeating Rangers 12 - 0 in the inaugural Vic Bowl.

January '85 the first fully equipped (pads, helmets etc.) was played at VFL Park in front of 30,000 plus crowd between Victoria and New South Wales (Victoria winning 16 - 6) as a curtain raiser to the Wyoming Cowboys and Utep Miners.
