The 1898 MJFA season was the 7th season of the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA).[1] [2] [3]
Collegians won their third MJFA premiership, having won 14 of its 16 games.[4]
Like the previous season in 1897, a total of nine teams competed in the MJFA.[5] Waltham disbanded during the 1897 season, while Boroondara appears to have withdrawn several weeks later.[6]
Beverley and Leopold were both admitted into the competition.[5]
In June 1898, the MJFA disqualified St Mary's for the remainder of the season and expelled the club from the association.[5] According to the Brighton Southern Cross, the expulsion was for "rough play" and "necessary in the best interests of the game".[7]
Sometime in July 1898, South Yarra withdrew from the MJFA.[8] They had played six games prior to this, winning two and drawing the remaining four.[9]
