A pre-season dinner was held in the MCC Pavilion, with Harry Harker presented with the football he had kicked ten goals against Geelong with in the last game of 1921. Alf Wilson received a case of brushes as the best batsman in the player's cricket team, and Charlie Streeter a suitcase as its best bowler. John Lord was recognised with a case of pipes for taking a hat-trick against Essendon. Mick Anthony won a silver cigarette case for best fielder, and the MCC was presented with a framed photo of the cricket premiership side.
Before the season there was a contested election for seven committee positions. Candidates were EA Bond, SER Church, GG Coulter, CE Couchman, L. Nichols, B. Nolan, GF Pape, CH Parkin, WW Strickland, J. Strong and WFV Sykes.
Two wins to open the season gave long-suffering fans hope of a first finals appearance since 1915, and just a second since 1902. After Round 13 Melbourne still sat fourth, but a surprise loss to Geelong and playing the top three teams to finish the season left them in sixth place again.
Andrew Manzie and Bill McClelland were Melbourne's VFL delegates, and McClelland also served as league vice-president. The club lost 593 pounds for the season.
