Results and statistics for the '''[[Australian Football League|Victorian Football League]] season of 1946'''.


==Premiership season==
In 1946, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, plus two substitute players, known as the '''19th man''' and the '''20th man'''. A player could be substituted for any reason; however, once substituted, a player could not return to the field of play under any circumstances.


==October 2008==
Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 19 rounds; matches 12 to 19 were the "home-and-way reverse" of matches 1 to 8.

The determination of the 1946 season's fixtures were complicated by the fact that both the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]] and the [[Bob Jane Stadium|Lake Oval]] were still unavailable and, because of this, [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]] shared the [[Punt Road Oval]] with [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] as their home ground, and [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]] shared the [[Junction Oval]] with [[St Kilda Football Club|St Kilda]] as their home ground. Melbourne resumed using the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]] as its home ground in round 17.

Once the 19 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1946 VFL ''Premiers'' were determined by the specific format and conventions of the [[Early_VFL_Final_systems#The_Page-McIntyre_system_.281931.29|"Page-McIntyre system"]].

==Awards==
* The 1946 VFL Premiership team was [[Essendon Football Club|Essendon]].
* The VFL's '''leading goalkicker''' was [[Bill Brittingham]] of [[Essendon Football Club|Essendon]] with 66 goals (including 8 goals in the finals series).
** [[Des Fothergill]] of [[Collingwood Football Club|Collingwood]] kicked 63 goals in the home-and-away season — thus, if there had been such a thing as a [[Coleman Medal]] in 1946, he would have won it.
* The winner of the 1946 [[Brownlow Medal]] was [[Don Cordner]] of [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]] with 20 votes.
** Cordner was the first of the only two amateur players ever to win the Brownlow Medal, the second was [[Western Bulldogs|Footscray Football Club's]] [[John Schultz]], also a ruckman, in 1960.
* [[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]] took the "[[Wooden Spoon (award)|wooden spoon]]" in 1946.

==Notable Events==
* The ANFC rejects a joint proposal from New South Wales and Tasmania to introduce a [[Ejection (sports)|"send off" rule]] for foul play.
* The VFL introduced a second substitute player, known as the '''20th man'''; this meant that a team was now comprised of 18 "run on" players, and two "reserves" on the bench. A player could be substituted for any reason (not just if he was injured and unable to continue). Once substituted, a player could not return to the field of play under any circumstances.
** As with the 19th man, the 20th man was only paid a match fee in the event that he took the field.
* The VFL introduces a new '''Under-19''' competition, the teams are referred to as the '''Third Eighteens'''.
* The VFL resumes the [[Brownlow Medal]] award.
* The first half of round 1 is played on Easter Saturday, the second half on Easter Monday.
* In round 1, 33 year old former champion full-forward [[Bob Pratt]] returns to [[Sydney Swans|South Melbourne]] after playing for VFA club [[Coburg Tigers|Coburg]] (1940-1941) and serving in the [[Royal Australian Air Force]] (1942-1945). He kicks two goals before badly injuring a leg. He never plays again.
* In a very windy round 8 match, [[North Melbourne Football Club|North Melbourne]] beat [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]] 9.2 (56) to 3.9 (27) despite not scoring at all in either the first or the third quarter of the match.
* From ninth position on the ladder at the end of round 8, [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]] win 13 of their next 14 matches and play in the Grand Final.
* At half time in the closely contested Grand Final, a straighter-kicking [[Melbourne Football Club|Melbourne]] 10.4 (64) was three points in front of [[Essendon Football Club|Essendon]] 9.7 (61); in the third quarter Essendon kicked 11.8 (74) to Melbourne's 1.1. (7).
