  1. 1898

    Port Melbourne's protests over the 1898 VFA premiership were dismissed 6 to 4 because it had not deposited three guineas per point of protest, confirming Footscray as premiers.

    Clubs

  3. 1990

    Lavington and Wodonga players brawled for about three minutes from the first quarter of the Ovens and Murray grand final at Albury Sports Ground, and the umpires could not restart play because the ball had been kicked over the fence.

    Fifteen players were later suspended for a combined 68 matches, and Wodonga still went on to win by 20 points.
