that gives me an idea for a kit for this themeReading the Croydon North-MLOC website where on their history they state: "In 2019 Mt Lilydale Old Collegians football club sought a merger with Croydon North football club which used to be in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League 20-odd years ago."
The Croydon North Football Club were apparently a Veterans-only side all that time, so if that's to be believed that means Croydon North-MLOC is the original or at least the successor to the Wonga Park Football Club that played 1 year in the EFNL, moved to the YVMDFL and was reduced to playing as a single Vets side until 2019.
Have wanted to give it a crack since learning this a couple years back and ask the club themselves if they have any trace or even memorabilia of the old North Croydon/Wonga Park club left. If you're game enough to ask would be pretty interested to hear what they say
EDIT: Found some more history on that Vets side that carried the North Croydon name on their website to confirm this https://www.croydonnorthmloc.com.au/veterans-history
Including a Wonga Park-esque jumper they wore embedded on the page
