Club history

Monash University opened its doors in 1961[5] and in the University's second year, Monash University Football Club entered the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA)[1].

1964 saw the birth of the Football Club's second team who commenced in the newly created VAFA F Section. The original team, now playing in C Section, played as the Monash Blues whilst the new team took the name Monash Whites. After only two seasons the Whites went into a five year hiatus, along with the F Section competition itself[2].

The senior Monash side gained promotion to A Section by 1969)[6] and, "in an effort to expand and field a greater number of teams in order to hold and develop players within the club"[7], the Whites returned to competition in 1971[8].

After early success, both Monash sides struggled in the late 1970s leading to a spilt at the end of the 1979 season[8].

The Whites continued as a stand-alone club until 2000 when it merged with the Monash Blues Football Club, its original partner[8].

In its thirty-two years of competition the Monash Whites participated in fourteen senior finals series, finishing fourth on four occasions, third six times, runners-up twice and champions twice[3][4].

The Whites now play as the Monash Blues' Club XVIII side in the Victorian Amateur Football Association[9].
