The 1901 VFL season was the Geelong Football Club's fifth season in the Victorian Football League and its first with Henry Young as captain.

Contents

Geelong finished the home and away with 14 wins and 3 losses, finishing in first position, winning the minor premiership. In the final series, Geelong lost to Collingwood in the semi-final. Due to Geelong's great record in the home and away season, Geelong were displeased that the minor premier has the same chance of winning the major premiership as the other finalists. As such, the first Argus system was revoked after only one season. [1]

The leading goalkicker was Charlie Coles with 24 goals.

Playing List

3 players played all 18 games this season, with a total of 33 players being used. Charlie Coles was the leading goalkicker with 24 goals. 9 players made their VFL debuts and 2 players, both from South Melbourne, Tim McKeegan and Bill Moodie. One player reached the 50 game milestone, Teddy Rankin.
