Notes

  • From 2000 to 2004 a pattern emerged that the team that won the premiership 100 years earlier, lost the premiership 100 years later. In 1900, Melbourne won the premiership, 100 years later in 2000, Melbourne lost the Grand Final. In 1901, Essendon won the premiership, 100 years later in 2001, Essendon lost the Grand Final. Collingwood won the premierships in 1902 and 1903, but lost the Grand Finals in 2002 and 2003. And in 1904, Fitzroy won the premiership, and in 2004 the Brisbane Lions (made from the merger with Fitzroy and The Bears), lost the Grand Final.
  • Collingwood has lost more Grand Finals than any other club: A total of 25, which is 9 more than any other club has won. This included 8 losses and a draw between 1958 and 1990, in a period of time referred to as the Colliwobbles.
  • Collingwood also holds the record for the most consecutive Premierships won with 4 in a row from 1927 to 1930. The closest to matching that was Melbourne from 1955 to 1960. The Demons won 3 in a row from 1955-1957, but Collingwood managed to defend its record by beating the Demons in 1958. Melbourne went on to win the next two flags in 1959-1960. The Brisbane Lions also came close when they won 3 in a row from 2001 to 2003, but lost to Port Adelaide in the 2004 Grand Final. The only other occasion when a team won 3 in a row was Carlton, who won the flag from 1906-1908, and fell two points short of winning in 1909, losing to South Melbourne
  • Two teams have won 5 premierships in a decade. Melbourne won five in the 1950s and Hawthorne won five in the 1980s
  • In 1916 there were only 4 teams playing in the league due to World War I. Fitzroy ended the season in last place, but because the top 4 finals system was still in place, the Lions found form in the finals to eventually win the 1916 Premiership against Carlton. This is colloquially known as the only time a team has won the wooden spoon and premiership in the same season (although Fitzroy's finals success leads many to argue that Richmond received the spoon instead.)

The Victorian Football League was established in 1896 when several clubs broke away from the Victorian Football Association which was the first Australian rules competition.
Although the Victorian Football League and the Victorian Football Association continued to compete for spectator interest for many years, the VFL quickly established itself as the premier competition in Victoria.
The West Australian Football League and Queensland Australian Football League were awarded licences to join the VFL and the West Coast Eagles and Brisbane Bears were formed.
