==Premiership season==
'''Coffs Harbour''' is a coastal city located on the north coast of [[New South Wales]] about 570&nbsp;km north of [[Sydney]] and 350&nbsp;km south of [[Brisbane]].
In 1900, the VFL competition was comprised 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.
The region has a population of nearly 70,000 that swells to over 100,000 in the holiday season. Popular with people wanting to relocate from big cities to small towns on the coast or in rural areas, Coffs Harbour continues to grow at an exceptional rate, with a population projection of 80,014 by the year 2016.
According to the CSIRO, Coffs Harbour has the most livable climate in Australia and is nestled between a high mountain backdrop and dozens of unspoiled beaches.
Coffs Harbour's economy is based mainly on farming (of bananas), tourism, and manufacturing.
<ref>
http://www.coffsharbour.nsw.gov.au/www/html/1990-economic-profile.asp
</ref>
The town has a university ([[Southern Cross University]]), a hospital,
<ref>
http://www.ncahs.nsw.gov.au/services/results_detailed.php?serviceid=517
</ref>
several radio stations, and three major shopping centres. Coffs Harbour is near numerous [[national park]]s, including a marine national park.
There are multiple flights per day by [[QantasLink]], by [[Virgin Blue]], and by [[Regional Express]] from Coffs Harbour to Sydney, Brisbane, and [[Newcastle]]. Coffs Harbour is also accessible by road, by [[Countrylink]] trains, and by regular bus services.


Each team played each other twice in a home-and-away season of 14 rounds.
== Geography ==
The greater Coffs Harbour city is broken up into several suburb and precinct areas including:
* [[Boambee, New South Wales|Boambee]]
* Toormina
* Coffs Harbour City Centre (City Centre)
* Coffs Harbour Jetty (Jetty)
* [[Diggers Beach, New South Wales|Diggers Beach]]
* [[Korora, New South Wales|Korora]]
* [[Moonee Beach, New South Wales|Moonee Beach]]
* [[Park Beach, New South Wales|Park Beach]]
* [[Red Hill, New South Wales|Red Hill]]
* South Coffs
* West Coffs
* [[West Korora, New South Wales|West Korora]]
* [[Sapphire Beach, New South Wales|Sapphire Beach]]


Once the 14 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1900 VFL ''Premiers'' were determined by the specific format and conventions of the [[Early_VFL_Final_systems#The_1898_VFL_Premiership|1898 VFL Premiership System]].
The city is surrounded by outlying towns that have established themselves and are sometimes referred to as suburbs of the Coffs Coast Region:
* [[Bellingen, New South Wales|Bellingen]]
* [[Coramba, New South Wales|Coramba]]
* [[Nana Glen, New South Wales|Nana Glen]]
* [[Corindi, New South Wales|Corindi]]/[[Red Rock, New South Wales|Red Rock]]
* [[Dorrigo, New South Wales|Dorrigo]]
* [[Sawtell, New South Wales|Sawtell]] (Including [[Toormina, New South Wales|Toormina]] and [[East Boambee, New South Wales|East Boambee]])
* [[Woolgoolga, New South Wales|Woolgoolga]]


===Round 1===
Sawtell, 10&nbsp;km south along Hogbin Drive from the city has become a little brother town, where it was often regarded as a suburb of the city.

===Round 2===
Coffs Harbour is also one of many regional cities along the [[Pacific Highway (Australia)|Pacific Highway]] between [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]] and The [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]].
{{start box}}
The city's close proximity to the centre of the mid and north coasts makes it a comfortable drive from either end of the highway. Some of the regional cities that scatter the highway include [[Tweed Heads, New South Wales|Tweed Heads]], [[Ballina, New South Wales|Ballina]], [[Grafton, New South Wales|Grafton]], [[Kempsey, New South Wales|Kempsey]], [[Port Macquarie, New South Wales|Port Macquarie]] and [[Taree, New South Wales|Taree]].

== History ==
===Round 4===
{{start box}}
By the early 1900s, the Coffs Harbour area had become an important timber production centre. Before the opening of the North Coast Railway Line, the only way to transport large items of heavy but low value, such as timber, was by coastal shipping. This meant sawmillers on the North Coast were dependent on jetties either in rivers or off beaches for exporting their timber. Timber tramways were constructed to connect the timber-getting areas, the sawmills and jetties built into the ocean at Coffs Harbour<ref>'''''The Timber Tramways of Coffs Harbour''''' Longworth, Jim [[Australian Railway History]], June, 2006 pp214-223</ref>.

== Name ==
===Round 6===
{{start box}}
Coffs Harbour owes its name to John Korff, who named the area ''Korff's Harbour'' when he was forced to take shelter from storm in the area in 1847. Its name was accidentally changed by the surveyor for the crown when he reserved land in the area during 1861.

Coffs Harbour is the hub for a thriving banana industry. One of the biggest attractions is the [[Big Banana]], the first of [[Australia's Big Things]] (it celebrated its 40th Birthday in 2005), with the World's Largest Banana celebrating the region's best known export. There is also a popular underwater [[diving]] spot on a small natural [[reef]].

Nearby the Solitary Islands Marine Park preserves a diverse underwater ecosystem that mirrors the terrestrial biodiversity, covering the southern limit of northern tropical species and the northern limits of the southern temperate species. Directly out to [[sea]] from Coffs Harbour adjacent to the man-made [[Breakwater (structure)|breakwater]] is Muttonbird Island. The island is a nature reserve protecting a significant [[Wedge-tailed Shearwater]] breeding site.

Revision as of 07:23, 12 October 2008

Template:Infobox VFL Premiership Season Results and statistics for the Victorian Football League season of 1900.

Premiership season

In 1900, the VFL competition was comprised 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.

Once the 14 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1900 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the 1898 VFL Premiership System.

Footnotes

  1. ^ This match ended in a draw, but the result was changed to a St Kilda victory on protest, after was noted that the umpire did not signal the end of the third quarter in the correct fashion after hearing the bell. This was St Kilda's first ever VFL win (after 48 losses) and was the first of only two occasions that the score of a game was changed on protest (the second, the 2006 AFL siren controversy occurring 106 years later, also involved St KIlda).
  2. ^ After three appeals, Condon's suspension for life was lifted in 1902, and Condon resumed playing for Collingwood.
  3. ^ At the end of the 1900 season, St Kilda had scored 439 points against their opponents' collective score of 1,029 points.
