1923 VJFL season
5th season of the Victorian Junior Football League (VJFL) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1923 VJFL season was the 5th season of the Victorian Junior Football League (VJFL), the Australian rules football competition operating as the second-tier competition to the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Geelong won its first VJFL premiership, defeating Richmond by 26 points. The 18-round home-and-away season began on 5 May and ended on 15 September.[1][2]
Background
Prior to the start of the season, representatives from the VJFL asked the VFL to allow the names of teams to be changed to 'Second Eighteen' − for instance, Carlton District would become Carlton Second Eighteen, and known simply as Carlton.[3][4]
The move was formally approved by the VFL on 27 April, although Collingwood District retained its name.[5][6]
