Williamstown had been the first club to play their games beyond the vicinity of Middle Park. Prahran City had also moved away from the lake, now playing at Fawkner Park. The Junior League, now with five clubs, was taken out for the second year in succession by the Wallabies. They would disappear the following season as that League was replaced by a Second Division, which was still essentially a reserves competition.
Williamstown, after drawing their second game and losing their third to St Kilda, went on a winning streak which saw them take the title by two points over Carlton United, despite losing to that side in the last round. An exhibition match was held at the Williamstown Cricket Ground in which the league champions defeated a Rest of the League XI 3-2.
The major games for the season, the Local International and the Dockerty Cup Final, were both staged at the Richmond City Reserve, now known as Citizen's Park, located behind the Richmond Town Hall.
The highest top flight score saw Williamstown defeat Fitzroy 8-2 on August 19, while the largest winning margin was Prahran City beating South Melbourne 7-0 on May 20.
Change was in the air. The following season Williamstown would become Williamstown-Yarraville before becoming just Yarraville. Having won the double in the first two years of competitive football, Carlton United would finish third in 1912 before disbanding.
So here it is, all the 1911 results:
