1935 Seconds season

Leading Goalkicker - Ron Baggott (85)
Most Serviceable - Bill Adams
Most Improved - Richie Emselle
Finals awards - Halloran, Kinnear, Truscott, Cheffers, Baggott and Kinnear.

In July, a motion not to count the 19th man as having played in the game until he entered the ground was defeated. An opposition speaker raised the case of a 19th man who hadn't turned up to the ground but was still regarded as a player. The following week, a new rule was agreed that in the home and away games, when a club's senior side wasn't playing, no player who appeared on the seniors the previous week could play in a Seconds game. There was also an unsuccessful attempt to rescind a rule introduced pre-season which barred players from finals if they'd appeared in nine senior matches.

In September, the Seconds affiliated with the Victorian Football Union.
