The premiership was won by the South Melbourne Football Club for the third time, after it defeated Richmond by 42 points in the 1933 VFL Grand Final.

Premiership season

In 1933, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, plus one substitute player, known as the 19th man. A player could be substituted for any reason; however, once substituted, a player could not return to the field of play under any circumstances.

Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds; matches 12 to 18 were the "home-and-way reverse" of matches 1 to 7.

Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1933 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the Page–McIntyre system.

Awards

Notable events

  • "Checker" Hughes took over as coach of Melbourne. He renamed the team "The Demons" from "The Fuchsias."
  • In Round 5, St Kilda defeated North Melbourne 13.19 (97) to 11.17 (83), despite having only 15 players left at the end of a brutal match, which was stopped at one stage because a wild brawl, instigated by the North Melbourne players, had erupted in the centre.
    • St Kilda captain Clarrie Hindson had a broken ankle, full-forward Bill Mohr had two broken ribs, forward Jack Anderson had been knocked unconscious, centreman W.C. "Billy" Roberts was felled once, recovered, and then was felled a second time, and rover Roy "Tiger" Bence was also knocked out.
    • The St Kilda President, Gallipoli veteran and naval war hero Commander Fred Arlington-Burke, described St Kilda's 15-man victory as the greatest moral victory in the club's history, and a "Badge of Courage" was struck by the Football Club and was awarded to each of the players that took part in the match.
    • The medallion is silver, coin shaped, with coin-like reeding around its outer perimeter (with no circumferential milling), with a St Kilda Football Club badge affixed to it, and the following inscription: "St KILDA DEFEATED Nth MELBOURNE WITH 15 MEN MAY 27th 1933". (Photograph of Medal at Ross, 1996, p. 140)
  • In Round 8, Essendon experimented with a siren, rather than a bell at Windy Hill.
  • In the dying minutes of the close South MelbourneRichmond match in Round 8, umpire Jack McMurray Sr. awarded a controversial free kick against Richmond full back Maurie Sheahan, judging that he was deliberately wasting time by setting up to kick in with a place kick after a South Melbourne behind – despite the fact that time was off until the kick-in was executed. The resulting goal narrowed South Melbourne's deficit to five points, but the siren sounded almost immediately after the next centre bounce.[2][3]
  • In the 1933 Interstate Carnival, held in Sydney, the Victorian team won all five of its matches.
  • During the 1933 Carnival, the Australian National Football Council considered a proposal from the New South Wales Rugby Football League that the two codes merge and play a single, Australian "national" game. A trial match of this proposed universal football was conducted behind closed doors during the carnival. The ANFC subsequently rejected the proposal.
  • The President of the South Melbourne Football Club, grocery magnate Archie Crofts, had brought so many interstate players to South Melbourne – with the promise of a well-paid regular job in one of the Crofts Grocery chain stores in addition to their receiving maximum playing and training fees allowable under the "Coulter Law" – that the 1933 team was christened "The Foreign Legion". Those comprising the "Foreign Legion" were Bert Beard, John Bowe, Brighton Diggins, Bill Faul, and Joe O'Meara from Western Australia, Ossie Bertram, Wilbur Harris, and Jack Wade from South Australia, and Frank Davies and Laurie Nash from Tasmania. South Melbourne played in four consecutive Grand Finals from 1933 to 1936, but won only the 1933 premiership.
  • North Melbourne's win over Collingwood in Round 6 was the first by one of the three 1925 entrants (Footscray, Hawthorn, North Melbourne) over the Magpies. Prior to that, Collingwood had won the first 37 meetings against the three newest clubs. Footscray's first win over Collingwood came in Round 9 of this year, but Hawthorn would not record its first win over Collingwood until Round 5 of the 1942 VFL season (in the 30th regular-season meeting between the two clubs).

Melbourne The VFL s leading goalkicker was Gordon Coventry of Collingwood with 108 goals The winner of the 1933 Brownlow Medal was Wilfred Smallhorn of Fitzroy with 18 votes Essendon took the wooden

consecutive season Melbourne 10 15 75 defeated St Kilda 10 14 74 in the Grand Final played as a stand alone game on Thursday 28 September Show Day holiday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground before a crowd of 9 500 1 Notable events Edit Checker Hughes took over as coach of Melbourne He renamed the team The Demons from The Fuchsias In Round 5 St Kilda defeated North Melbourne 13 19 97 to 11 17 83 despite having only 15 players left at the end of a brutal match which was stopped at one stage because a wild brawl instigated by the North Melbourne players had erupted in the centre St Kilda captain Clarrie Hindson had a broken ankle full forward Bill Mohr had two broken ribs forward Jack Anderson had been knocked unconscious centreman W C Billy Roberts was felled once recovered and then was felled a second time and rover Roy Tiger Bence was also knocked out The St Kilda President Gallipoli veteran and naval war hero Commander Fred Arlington Burke described St Kilda s 15 man victory as the greatest moral victory in the club s history and a Badge of Courage was struck by the Football Club and was awarded to each of the players that took part in the match The medallion is silver coin shaped with coin like reeding around its outer perimeter with no circumferential milling with a St Kilda Football Club badge affixed to it and the following inscription St KILDA DEFEATED Nth MELBOURNE WITH 15 MEN MAY 27th 1933 Photograph of Medal at Ross 1996 p 140 In Round 8 Essendon experimented with a siren rather than a bell at Windy Hill In the dying minutes of the close South Melbourne Richmond match in Round 8 umpire Jack McMurray Sr awarded a controversial free kick against Richmond full back Maurie Sheahan judging that he was deliberately wasting time by setting up to kick in with a place kick after a South Melbourne behind despite the fact that time was off until the kick in was executed The resulting goal narrowed South Melbourne s deficit to five points but the siren sounded almost immediately after the next centre bounce 2 3 In the 1933 Interstate Carnival held in Sydney the Victorian team won all five of its matches During the 1933 Carnival the Australian National Football Council considered a proposal from the New South Wales Rugby Football League that the two codes merge and play a single Australian national game A trial match of this proposed universal football was conducted behind closed doors during the carnival The ANFC subsequently rejected the proposal The President of the South Melbourne Football Club grocery magnate Archie Crofts had brought so many interstate players to South Melbourne with the promise of a well paid regular job in one of the Crofts Grocery chain stores in addition to their receiving maximum playing and training fees allowable under the Coulter Law that the 1933 team was christened The Foreign Legion Those comprising the Foreign Legion were Bert Beard John Bowe Brighton Diggins Bill Faul and Joe O Meara from Western Australia Ossie Bertram Wilbur Harris and Jack Wade from South Australia and Frank Davies and Laurie Nash from Tasmania South Melbourne played in four consecutive Grand Finals from 1933 to 1936 but won only the 1933 premiership North Melbourne s win over Collingwood in Round 6 was the first by one of the three 1925 entrants Footscray Hawthorn North Melbourne over the Magpies Prior to that Collingwood had won the first 37 meetings against the three newest clubs Footscray s first win over Collingwood came in Round 9 of this year but Hawthorn would not record its first win over Collingwood until Round 5 of the 1942 VFL season in the 30th regular season meeting between the two clubs See also EditList of VFL debuts in 1933Footnotes Edit Onlooker 29 September 1933 League
