Premiership season

In 1929, the VFL competition consisted of twelve 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. Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds; matches 12 to 18 were the "home-and-away reverse" of matches 1 to 7. Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1929 VFL ''Premiers'' were determined by the specific format and conventions of the amended "''Argus'' system".
