The 1930 Victorian Football Association season was the 52nd season of the Australian rules football competition. The premiership was won by the Oakleigh Football Club, after it defeated Northcote by nine points in the Final on 27 September – a match which was notorious for several violent clashes instigated by Northcote players. It was the club's first VFA premiership, achieved in only its second season of senior competition. ==Premiership== In 1929, the Association had accommodated its expansion to twelve clubs by extending the home-and-home season to twenty-two games. In 1930, the Association opted to play its home-and-home season in two sections: *All twelve teams played the first section of eighteen matches, with the unbalanced fixture seeing teams play some teams twice and others once. *After eighteen matches, the bottom four teams were eliminated and the top eight played a further two home-and-home matches. * *In the first week, first played second, third played fourth, fifth played sixth and seventh played eighth. * *In the second week, the winners from the first week played against the other winners, and the losers from the first week played against the other losers. * *If the teams had played each other only once, then the match was played at the home ground of the away team from the previous fixture; if they had played twice, the home venue was selected at random. *Then, the top four clubs based on the results from all twenty matches contested a finals series under the amended Argus system to determine the premiers for the season. The Association abandoned the practice of playing finals on different neutral Association grounds in 1930, and secured the North Melbourne Recreation Reserve, home of the League's North Melbourne Football Club, for all finals. The move was unpopular with the city councils of Port Melbourne, Brunswick and Coburg, which had spent a lot of money bringing their grounds up to the necessary standards for finals football, and attendances at North Melbourne were ultimately poor compared with previous seasons; so, in 1931 the Association reverted to staging finals at different Association venues. The incident was a prelude to the massive dispute between the Association and the councils which erupted in 1934 over the use of Olympic Park as a central ground. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1930 VFA season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
