		Under coach Graham Cornes, who played only a handful of games in the VFL, but was considered one of the greatest footballers of his era, the Crows proved competitive in their first season winning 10 matches to miss the finals by only three games.

		In 1896, eight of the original VFA clubs broke away to form the Victorian Football League (VFL) and the first season of competition was played in 1897.
		Fort and Quirk's (1995) model of US professional team sports leagues is used to analyse the effectiveness of the various devices that have been used in the VFL/AFL, but only after adapting the model to allow for VFL/AFL clubs being win maximisers (subject to a budget constrain) rather than profit maximisers.

	N-O
		John Newnham may only have played 106 games during his eight season VFL career with Fitzroy, but for much of that time he was without doubt one of the most effective and accomplished rovers in the competition.
		Kevin O'Keeffe was a fearless and dashing defender in 92 games at Fitzroy from 1973 to 1980 and in 1982, and 24 games for East Perth (1980-1).
		His time with the Bloods was almost unendurably frustrating, yielding one hundred per cent finals participation coupled with one hundred per cent ultimate failure, much of it at the hands of Port Adelaide, in four seasons in charge.

		Carlton went on to secure a 2nd successive flag.
