T. P. Power

This is a very early annual football publication, providing a guide to the current season with some information about the features of the game. The contents include some details of the administrative structure of the VFA, including a list of office bearers and the laws of the game. A list of city, suburban and country clubs in Victoria provides details of club membership numbers, formation dates, team colours, office bearers and team player lists, with brief notes about all players. There are also inter-colonial match reports, review articles, statistics on the previous Melbourne provincial and school football seasons and a short account of the Framlingham Aboriginal football team. Original issues are held by the State Library of Victoria for 1875, 1876 and 1879. Issues for 1879 were published by the Victorian Football Association. Online access to all editions available through the SLV website.
