	Collingwood
		Collingwood's main strength in 1896 was the remarkable fitness of its players, which was a testimony to the efforts of head trainer Wal Lee, a former Britannia player whose almost obsessive devotion to Collingwood provided a template that many others would later come to copy.
		Collingwood ultimately won the minor premiership with a 15-2 record, thereby securing the right of challenge should the side lose at any stage during the finals.
		Collingwood's triumphs in 1902 and 1903 were attributable to professionalism, not of a pecuniary kind, but of overall approach and method, as evidenced for example in the fact that, under the stringent supervision of Wal Lee, the team was almost universally acknowledged as being by some measure the fittest in the League.
