1901 VFL season

January 01, 1970

The 1901 VFL season was the fifth season of the Victorian Football League (VFL), the highest level senior Australian rules football competition in Victoria. The season featured eight clubs, ran from 4 May until 7 September, and comprised a 17-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top four clubs.

The premiership was won by the Essendon Football Club for the second time, after it defeated Collingwood by 27 points in the 1901 VFL Grand Final.

Background edit

In 1901, the VFL competition consisted of eight teams of 18 on-the-field players each, with no "reserves", although any of the 18 players who had left the playing field for any reason could later resume their place on the field at any time during the match.

Each team played each other twice in a home-and-away season of 14 rounds. Then, based on ladder positions after those 14 rounds, three further 'sectional rounds' were played, with the teams ranked 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th playing in one section and the teams ranked 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th playing in the other.

Once the 17 rounds of the home-and-away season had finished, the 1901 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the original Argus system.

Season notes edit

  • Fitzroy lodged an official protest against the result of the second semi-final, which it lost against Essendon by one point, alleging that the goal umpire had erred in awarding Essendon's first goal because the ball had hit the post. Later in the week, Fitzroy withdrew its protest against the result, and the scheduling of the grand final was not affected;[1] an inquiry later in September found that the goal umpire had made a mistake, but no change was made to the score after the finding.[2]
  • Against South Melbourne in Round 6, Essendon kicked 17 behinds between its first and second goals. Only Geelong against St Kilda in 1919 and St Kilda against Fitzroy in 1921 have beaten this unwanted record. Fred Hiskins kicked ten behinds.
  • In the last home-and-away match between South Melbourne and Geelong, field umpire Henry "Ivo" Crapp experimented with clearly calling out his decisions.
  • In Essendon's grand final victory against Collingwood, Albert Thurgood kicked three of Essendon's six goals. One of his goals was scored with an 86-yard (79 m.) drop-kick, and another (measured immediately after the match) was scored with a 93-yard (85 m.) place-kick into a strong head wind.
  • VFL instituted the original Argus system to determine the season's premiers.

Essendon by one point alleging that the goal umpire had erred in awarding Essendon s first goal because the ball had hit the post Later in the week Fitzroy withdrew its protest against the result and the scheduling of the grand final was not affected 1 an inquiry later in September found that the goal umpire had made a mistake but no change was made to the score after the finding 2 Against South Melbourne in Round 6 Essendon kicked 17 behinds between its first and second goals Only Geelong against St Kilda in 1919 and St Kilda against Fitzroy in 1921 have beaten this unwanted record Fred Hiskins kicked ten behinds In the last home and away match between South Melbourne and Geelong field umpire Henry Ivo Crapp experimented with clearly calling out his decisions In Essendon s grand final victory against Collingwood Albert Thurgood kicked three of Essendon s six goals One of his goals was scored with an 86 yard 79 m drop kick and another measured immediately after the match was scored with a 93 yard 85 m place kick into a strong head wind VFL instituted the original Argus system to determine the season s premiers Awards editThe 1901 VFL Premiership team was Essendon The VFL s leading goalkicker was Fred Hiskins of Essendon with 34 goals St Kilda took the wooden spoon in 1901 References edit Football The Goal Umpiring Question The Argus 12 September 1901 p 7 The Essendon
