The Colac Imperials Football Netball Club is an Australian rules football club which competes in the Colac DFL since its founding in 1937.[1]

They are based in the Victorian town of Colac. Colac Imperials play in Colac, the main regional centre for the region.[2]

History

The Colac Imperials Football Club was founded in 1922 and first competed in the Colac Junior Association. The club didn’t want to take the name Colac as it would be responsible for old outstanding debts of the defunct Colac FC.

There was a lot of reorganization during the 1920s with competitions starting a foundering every couple of years. The club had a strong bond with the St Andrews church as depending of the competition it was in. It would reform as St Andrews when it played in a church based competition.

They were known as St Andrews when the Colac DFL formed in 1937. They first flag was when it won the Grand final in 1945. Since then they have been the most successful club in the competition with a total of 12 premierships.

In 1950 there was a mass exodus of clubs from the CDFL, the cause was that the Colac (Hampden league) team wanted to have the right to pick any player from the Colac DFL without needing a clearance.[3] The result was Colac Imperials opted to leave and join the Polwarth FL and be away from Colac's reach. It spent five years in that competition before returning to the CDFL.
