Arguably Melbourne’s most loved sport - football, the Australian Football League (AFL) previously known as VFL has changed a lot over the years!
In 1961, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, plus two substitute players, known as the 19th man and the 20th man. Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds; matches 12 to 18 were the "home-and-away reverse" of matches 1 to 7.
At this time the clubs were all Victorian based and each club had their own home ground, many of which were located nearby to the listed co-ords.
The 1961 VFL Premiership team was Hawthorn.
The VFL's leading goalkicker was Tom Carroll of Carlton who kicked 54 goals.
The winner of the 1961 Brownlow Medal was John James of Carlton with 21 votes.
North Melbourne took the "wooden spoon" in 1961.
