Melbourne's status as the only pure amateur club in the competition continued to hurt them, falling to another wooden spoon in their worst VFL season yet. Six players were so rigidly amateur that they didn't even accept expenses. The club announced that it would soon start paying its players, but for now they were only able to win one game, finishing four wins behind the next worst team.
The Round 13 game was postponed on less than two weeks' notice due to the tour of South Australian club Norwood being brought forward.
At the end of the season, a newspaper described Melbourne as "without doubt one of the worst sides that have yet appeared in league football", and strong criticism was levelled at its management during the annual meeting of the MCC. The club's committee maintained that the poor performances were the result of amateurism.

Notes
Some sources suggest that in one of the games against South Melbourne the field umpire bounced the ball in the centre after a Melbourne point because he believed the goal umpire had made an incorrect call.
