Police were called to the Grand Final, and the game stopped five times due to violence. Five Port Melbourne players were reported, leaving one Melbourne player with a broken nose and jaw, and another with a depressed fracture of the cheekbone. When the teams had played six weeks earlier there had been a brawl. Secretary Jim Cardwell threatened to move the side from the Melbourne Boys' League and the South Eastern Football League.
