The premiership was won by the Port Melbourne Football Club for the second time in the club's history. Ladder The premiership was decided on the basis of the best record across sixteen rostered matches, with each club playing the others twice; in the event of a tie for first place, a playoff match would have been held to determine the premiership. Richmond led the ladder for most of the season, but a couple of losses in the latter part of the season meant that Richmond and Port Melbourne were level with records of 12–3 entering the final week of matches. On the final Saturday, Port Melbourne 7.12 (54) defeated Prahran 3.5 (23), and Richmond 2.2 (14) was defeated by North Melbourne 4.8 (32), resulting in Port Melbourne winning the premiership without the need for a playoff. main WDL Q 1901 VFA ladder true points 4 2 no Premiers PMB Port Melbourne RIC NOR WIL Williamstown PRA Prahran FOO ESS Essendon Town BRU Brunswick WME West Melbourne 13 3 0 676 480 P 12 4 0 681 428 11 4 1 685 527 7 8 1 621 595 7 9 0 665 659 7 9 0 609 620 7 9 0 479 606 6 10 0 619 706 1 15 0 369 774 #CCFFCC A 1) points; 2) percentage; 3) number of points for. complete The Argus 2 September 1901 The Association Clubs - Port Melbourne Premiers 7 Melbourne, VIC Old Boy Notable events Mr James Hall, president of the Williamstown Football Club, was elected VFA president in April 1901;Williamstown Chronicle Williamstown, VIC Short and sharp 20 April 1901 2 he served in the role until 1903.The Argus Melbourne, VIC Victorian Football Association – Opinions on the Game 18 April 1903 15 Hall replaced previous president Cr Theodore Fink, MLA.
