Don't think there is a league rules as such. I think Collingwood have a policy of only using the numbers 1 up to the number of senior listed places; skipping only 42.

Harry Taylor wore number 85 for part of a game after getting his jumper ripped. I think it was some sought of clash/heritage jumper so I suppose they didn't bother making too many spares. The only reason I can think of 85 being used is because they numbered the spares according to their size.
Although not player worn, in 2009 Geelong sold special heritage jumpers with 150 on the back, they were extremely popular and sold out very quickly.

No he said AFL, not VFL
VAFL
Not AFL but when I was at Atlanta Kookbaurras in the USAFL the President wore the number 0. This was based on it being cheaper for jumpers with a single digit sewn on, than to have two digits. Not sure it had a huge influence on the club's bottom line.
