The 1905 VFL season was the ninth season of the Victorian Football League (VFL), the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Victoria. The season featured eight clubs and ran from 6 May to 30 September, comprising a 17-match home-and-away season followed by a three-week finals series featuring the top four clubs.
Fitzroy won the premiership, defeating Collingwood by 13 points in the 1905 VFL grand final; it was Fitzroy's second consecutive premiership and fourth VFL premiership overall. Collingwood won the minor premiership by finishing atop the home-and-away ladder with a 15–2 win–loss record. Collingwood's Charlie Pannam won the leading goalkicker medal as the league's leading goalkicker.
Background
In 1905, the VFL competition consisted of eight 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 14 rounds. Then, based on ladder positions after those 14 rounds, three further 'sectional rounds' were played, with the teams ranked 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th playing in one section and the teams ranked 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th playing in the other.
Once the 14 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1905 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the amended "Argus system".
