The 1902 MJFA season, also known as the 1902 MFA season, was the eleventh season of the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA). [a]
Collegians won the premiership for the fifth time, after defeating Brighton in the 1902 MJFA Grand Final. [5] This was the second time a grand final had been held in the MJFA. [6]
All eight teams that participated in the 1901 MJFA season continued in 1902. [7] One new club, the Hawthorn Football Club, was formed in April 1902 and admitted into the Association several weeks later, bringing the total number of teams to nine. [8] [9]
In round 7, the Celtic Football Club was scheduled to play a match against Beverley. However, Beverley won after Celtic forfeited. [10]
Celtic had a bye the following week in round 8, but was scheduled to play Brighton in round 9. [11] However, "owing to a misunderstanding", Celtic did not state where the game was supposed to be played. [11] The match was eventually called off, and Brighton claimed a walkover victory. [12] Celtic disbanded the following week, prior to a scheduled match against Caulfield at the East Melbourne Cricket Ground, having lost all of its eight games. [13] [14]

At the time, the MJFA premiership was decided by the best overall record for the season. In the event of a tie, a playoff match would have been held. [70]
1902 was the second time in MJFA history that such a match was required (the first being in 1900), with Collegians and Brighton finishing with 60 premiership points each. [67]
