1892 MJFA season


The 1892 MJFA season was the inaugural season of the Metropolitan Junior Football Association.
Collegians Football Club won the inaugural premiership, after finishing first on the ladder with 15 wins from its 18 games.
As of 2025, Collegians is the only club from the first MJFA season to still exist and compete in the competition.

Association membership

Ten clubs competed in the inaugural MJFA season − Alberton, Brighton, Collegians, Edlington, Footscray District, South St Kilda, St Jude's, St Mary's, Toorak-Grosvenor and YMCA.
Brighton, Collegians, Edlington and South St Kilda were "2nd 20" teams in the 1892 season. Their senior teams all competed in the Victorian Junior Football Association, although Collegians' senior team appears to have been in local schoolboy competitions.

Edlington withdrawal

Edlington left the MJFA after just two games, having kicked just one goal to 13 goals against, and their remaining games were considered walkovers. Because the withdrawal created an uneven amount of teams, extra games were played against the Holy Trinity Football Club by teams that were initially scheduled to play Edlington.

Ladder

Holy Trinity was not included in the ladder at the end of the season published in The Australasian.
