History

Manor Lakes initially aimed to start a junior club for the 2013 season, but soon found demand for a senior game was also high in booming outer Melbourne suburb of Wyndhamvale. When the committee was first formed the aim was to provide for junior football in the area. But the overwhelming response to the Manor Lakes Facebook page ^[3] and a few other outlets was too much to ignore so the committee set about bringing on senior football.

Manor Lakes developed a club jumper and Heath Hunter was appointed senior coach.^[4] fourteen players transferred with him from Trentham (in the MCDFL) . A further eighteen players have transferred from neighbouring club Wyndhamvale.

The club was admitted to WRFL 2nd Division for 2013.
