VFL/AFL Premiers
     
The VFL's night series competition began in 1956, when a crowd of 32,450 turned out to see South Melbourne defeat Carlton at the Lake Oval. This remained the grand final venue until 1972, when the competition was suspened for five years. Upon resumption in 1977, the grand final was held at Waverley Park.


  From 1988 onwards, the pre-season competition has begun in February and been decided before the premiership season begins. The Grand Final is still played at night, but some matches during the preliminary rounds are played during the day.

McClelland Trophy
     
From 1951-1990 the McClelland Trophy was awarded to the club accumulating the highest number of points by its senior, reserve grade and under 19 teams. With the move to a one team national competition, the AFL Commission decided that as from 1991, the trophy would be awarded to the team finishing on top of the ladder at the end of the AFL home and away season. The trophy was instituted to award to recognise the service of Dr Wm. C. McClelland as a player and club delegate for Melbourne, as well as an official and VFL President from 1926-1955.
