Excerpt: Results and statistics for the Victorian Football League season of 1908. Both Richmond Football Club and University Football Club were admitted to the VFL competition (University left the competition at the end of the 1914 season). In 1908, the VFL competition consisted of ten teams of 18 on-the-field players each, with no "reserves," although any of the 18 players who had left the playing field for any reason could later resume their place on the field at any time during the match. Each team played each other twice in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds. Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1908 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the amended "Argus system."
