2027 season
registrations
are open
The Redlegs are Mount Eliza's local junior AFL club, developing young players through teamwork, resilience and a love of football — fielding boys' and girls' teams from Under 8 to Under 18 on the Mornington Peninsula. Here's how to register for the 2027 season, whether you've played with us before or you're joining for the first time.
How registration works
Registration for 2027 runs in phases. Joining the waitlist during the window below secures your place in the queue ahead of general registration — it does not confirm your spot on a team, and places within each phase are not guaranteed. If you miss the waitlist window, you can still register once the club opens to the public in November pending availability.
Steps 1–3 are open to waitlist registrants only
8 November 2026 is the absolute final day for 2026 players to secure their spot for 2027. This is done via the waitlist first, as links to register are sent directly. This is the last date the club can still logistically form teams around returning players — after this, remaining places are released to the waitlist first, then open to the public.

Phase 2 opens for 2026 returning Redlegs players on the waitlist. 8 November is the absolute last day for 2026 players to secure their spot — this is the cut-off the club needs to logistically form teams for 2027. As of 9th November, places are offered to siblings, 2025 players, transfers/new players in that order — and then to the public.
