Premiership Season
In 1924, the VFL competition consisted of nine teams of 18 on-the-field players each, with no "reserves", although any of the 18 players who had left the playing field for any reason could later resume their place on the field at any time during the match.
Each team played each other twice in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds (i.e., 16 matches and 2 byes).
Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1924 VFL Premiership was determined by an experimental 1924 Finals System, which the VFL used in this season only. The format was similar to the round-robin format used in 1897 Finals System, but included the minor premiers' right to challenge, which existed under the amended Argus System.

As in a season of autumn.
The soldier falls.”
