It was the 14th annual Grand Final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1911 VFL season. The match, attended by 43,905 spectators, was won by Essendon by a margin of 6 points, marking that club's second premiership victory. Right to challenge This season was played under the amended Argus system. Essendon was the minor premier, and Collingwood had finished fourth. The teams both qualified for this match by winning their semi-finals matches. If Collingwood had won this match, Essendon would have had the right to challenge Collingwood to a rematch for the premiership on the following weekend, because Essendon was the minor premier. The winner of that match would then have won the premiership.Stephen Rodgers Every Game Ever Played: VFL/AFL Results, 1897–1991 Viking O'Neil Ringwood, VIC 3rd 1992 Teams _redrightsash _hoops_black 000000 ffffff FB0000 Essendon _blackstripes4_2 ffffff 000000 000000 Collingwood #CC2031 Essendon Essendon Football Club #000000 Vernon Hazel Billy Griffith Dan Hanley Dick Monteith Bill Busbridge Len Bowe Wally Chalmers Bill Sewart Fred O'Shea Paddy Shea Lou Armstrong Percy Ogden Jack Kirby Dave Smith (c) Bill Walker Fred Baring George McLeod Ernie Cameron Jack Worrall #FFFFFF Collingwood Collingwood Football Club #000000 Eddie Thomas Ted Rowell Paddy Rowan Jack Green Jim Sharp Duncan McIvor Jim Sadler Jock McHale Percy Gibb George Anderson Dan Minogue Percy Wilson Paddy Gilchrist Dick Lee (c) Dick Vernon Les Hughes Dave Ryan Tom Baxter George Angus Umpire – Jack Elder Statistics Goalkickers thumb|right|250px|Essendon FC, Premier team Essendon: F Baring 1 J Kirby 1 G McLeod 1 P Shea 1 B Walker 1Collingwood: T Baxter 1 D Lee 1 D Minogue 1 T Rowell 1 See also 1911 VFL season References Grand final Category:VFL/AFL Grand Finals Category:Essendon Football Club Category:Collingwood Football Club Category:September 1911 in sports Category:September 1911 in Australia
