I have been reading the Laurie Nash biography The Great Laurie Nash (1998) and have been trying to discover results from the Victorian Police Football Association from 1935 and 1936 when Nash played for Southern Suburbs on Wednesdays in addition to playing with South Melbourne. I have found the 1935 results but there are two games from 1936 proving difficult to locate details for.

Metropolitan Military Senior Cadets FA 1912

Split into two sections (anybody know what the A means? I figured B meant Battalion):

A Section:
Abbotsford 55A
Ascot Vale 58th Battalion
Fitzroy-Carlton 62nd Battalion
Newmarket 61A
North Fitzroy 54th Battalion
Port Melbourne 52nd Battalion
Richmond 55th Battalion
South Carlton 62A

Won by Port Melbourne after defeating South Carlton

B Section:

North Carlton 60th Battalion
North Melbourne 61st Battalion
Royal Park 60A
South Melbourne 52A
West Melbourne 64A
Yarraville 65th Battalion

Won by Collingwood, haven't found an opponent yet


Grand Final (September 21, Royal Park):
Port Melbourne 52nd Battalion 9.10.64 def. Collingwood 63rd Battalion 6.5.41

Port Melbourne 52B won it next season too I believe.

[Connor7395]

Information I've found on the VRI Football League from the VR Newsletters I've found PDFs of online (victorianrailways.net).

1964: Newport Shops were premiers.
1965: Loco initially did not field a team, but after a special meeting, the team reformed. Final ladder was Newport Shops (unbeaten although they drew a game with the Lines), Suburban Lines, Loco, and Codon (missed finals). Loco shocked the league by winning the Grand Final, defeating Newport Shops 15.14.104 to 4.6.30.
1966: Final ladder was Newport Shops (unbeaten), Suburban Lines or Loco, and Codon (missed finals). Loco defeated Suburban Lines by 15 points in the preliminary final at McAlister Oval in Brunswick. Newport Shops won the Grand Final easily, 23.17.155 to 1.7.13, at South Melbourne.
1967-72: Competition in recess
1970: The Traffic Branch defeated Rolling Stock by 33 points in Ararat. It also appears that Loco might also be Rolling Stock.
1971: The Traffic Branch defeated the Commercial Branch 18.23.131 to 8.7.55 in the L.W. Butcher-M.J. Noone Shield. The shield is named after two members of the Commercial Branch who were killed in a car accident in 1970. The Secretary's Branch challenged the Commercial Branch to a game with the Traffic Branch offering to play the winners after agreeing to a match with Melbourne Goods.
1972: A few games were played. Estate Office defeated Track and Drainage 12.18.90 to 10.14.74, and Traffic Branch defeated a combined Secretary's-Commercial Branch 18.8.116 to 8.10.58. However, it looks like this was not part of a league.
1973: The VRIFL reformed. Teams were Traffic Branch, Newport Workshops, Melbourne Yard, Commercial Branch, Accounts Branch, Melbourne Goods, Rolling Stock, and a combined Ways and Works and Secretary's team. Games were played outside the metropolitan area, including at Romsey, Sunbury and Little River. Newport Shops easily defeated the Traffic Branch in the Grand Final.
1974: Unclear if the league happened.
1975: Teams were Accounts, Marketing, Melbourne Yard, Newport Shops, Traffic and Waysec, with Traffic on top early. Games were played at Ransford Oval in Royal Park. Traffic defeated Accounts in the Grand Final by 33 points.
1976-79: Little information about the league is available now. Ron Baggott, who played for Melbourne, retired in 1976 after 18 years of service with the VRI. Ron contributed to the VR Newsletter with his own sports page in his first few years.

Games against the Australian Postal Institute:
1965: VRI 18.18.126 def API 5.9.39
1966: VRI 18.14.122 def API 8.8.56
1967: API 9.13.67 def VRI 7.7.49. A social game between a combined Accountancy Branch section (from Flinders Street and Spencer Street) and the Preston Tramway Depot took place too. The combined side won 10.10.70 to 10.9.69.
1968: API 15.14.104 def VRI 9.9.63
1969: VRI 14.10.94 def API 10.16.76
1970: VRI 18.12.120 def API 3.18.36
1971: VRI 15.16.106 def API 10.9.69
1972: API 7.12.54 def VRI 5.9.39
1973: VRI 11.10.76 def API 8.18.66
1974: API 11.16.82 def VRI 5.18.48
1975: VRI 10.6.66 def API 7.15.57

Games against the South Australian Railways Institute:
1974: VRIFL 10.16.76 def SARI 9.8.62
1975: VRIFL 11.15.81 def SARI 7.7.49

Not much can be found after the seventies. Footypedia had Melbourne Yard playing in every grand final between 1985 and 1993, but only winning in 88 and 89, and the league winding up for good in the late nineties.

I don't know why but I've always had an interest in inner suburb clubs right next to the CBD like Jolimont.
Was Jolimont United related to the Jolimont-based deaf club that participated in the SESFL's early days?

COLLIE FA - SEASON 1930

This season has credible claims for being the most even football season in the history of the sport. All three clubs finished with a 4-4 record in the minor premiership and a 3-3 record in the major premiership. Mines Rovers won both premierships on percentage to claim the season’s honours - a 22-point win over Allanson in the final match allowing Mines Rovers to claim the major premiership by less than a goal.

I don't know why but I've always had an interest in inner suburb clubs right next to the CBD like Jolimont.
Was Jolimont United related to the Jolimont-based deaf club that participated in the SESFL's early days?

In what seasons did the Metropolitan Protestant Churches competition operate.
I knew of the Eastern Suburban Protestant Churches competition (later the ESCFA) but not this one.

It was still going in 1971, however:




Perhaps it finished up after 1971, as I can't see a sign of it after that?

35Daicos did Diamond Valley-Rosanna become Lower Plenty?

I'm certainly not an expert on this topic, but I think this suggests it did!: Australian Football - Lower Plenty Football Club - Stats

Wikiwand - Lower Plenty Football Club

Lower Plenty is an Australian rules football club in Montmorency, Victoria, currently competing in the Northern Football League.

www.wikiwand.com

I'm really not certain after reading that, so hopefully there's someone out there who knows for sure if that's the same club or not!

The Methodist Association ran from 1944 to 1956 where it got revamped into the Metropolitan Protestant Churches which ran until the end of 1971

35Daicos did Diamond Valley-Rosanna become Lower Plenty?

I think Todman is right in that Diamond Valley evolved into Lower Plenty. I recall the Diamond Valley team playing in the Melbourne Protestant League wore Hawthorn jumpers which I think Lower Plenty then wore in their Panton Hills FL days

 

[MortlockWatcher]

I think they went into the Bears guernsey upon joining the DVFL due to a clash with Heidelberg West.

Does anyone have the final ladder for the Metropolitan Junior FA (now known as the VAFA) from 1895?

All I can find out is that South St Kilda was the premier club.


Edit: I am also looking for 1930.

A quick glance on Trove didn't find any ladders published during the season at all, but quite a few round-by-round scores printed each week. This from early September suggests that South St Kilda had a tight finish in premiership battle with St Mary's F.C.
