The 1898 Victorian Football Association season was the 22nd season of the Australian rules football competition. The premiership was won by the Footscray Football Club; it was the first premiership in the club's history, and the first in a sequence of three premierships won consecutively from 1898 to 1900.

Ladder

The 1898 VFA season was played in two parts.

  • In the initial rounds, each team played fifteen matches.
  • After the first round, the bottom two teams were eliminated, and each of the top four played an additional two matches.
  • The premiership was then be decided by the best overall record for the season; in the event of a tie, a playoff match would have been held.[1]

The result of this was that while Richmond had qualified for the "finals" stage, it had no chance of winning the premiership as it began this stage too far behind Footscray to win.[1]

Port Melbourne protest

Following the initial round of fifteen matches, Port Melbourne lodged a protest, seeking to overturn the results of two of its losses against {{AFL Nor}} during the season, on the grounds that North Melbourne had fielded former {{AFL Fit}} player Kelly without the proper clearance; and that Dick Houston, North Melbourne's captain and caretaker of the North Melbourne ground, had played without a caretaker's permit – a special requirement which ground caretakers were required to obtain in order to play.[3] The Argus reported that during its initial discussion, the Association appeared likely to uphold Port Melbourne's protests, which would have ultimately drawn Port Melbourne level with Footscray for first place and therefore forced a playoff match for the premiership. Then, however, North Melbourne was able to successfully argue that Port Melbourne's protests were informal due to a procedural irregularity: namely that Port Melbourne had not deposited three guineas to the Association for each point of protest. As such, Port Melbourne's protests were dismissed on 23 September by a majority of 6–4 and Footscray was confirmed to be premiers.[4]

Notable events

  • In a match in Port Melbourne on 3 September, the visiting {{AFL Ric}} team was subjected to such rough treatment and threats from Port Melbourne players in the first half that only seven Richmond players opted to return to the field after half-time; Richmond ultimately abandoned the game altogether at three-quarter time.[5]
