At the end of the season Port Adelaide requested to play an additional game against Hotham but it was rejected by the Association. They also requested to play Norwood in a premiership playoff. Norwood and Port Adelaide had played each other 4 times with the result being 2 wins and 2 draws in favour of Norwood. The premiership hence was awarded to Norwood.
