Notes
Finals systems 1879–1906 From 1907 to 1928, the home-and-away season was played over five rounds, that is each club played the others five times. In the first three rounds, premiership points were awarded 2 for a win and 1 for a draw; and in the last two rounds, premiership points were awarded 4 for a win and 2 for a draw. The club with the most premiership points (with the leader determined by play-off if tied) would then have to play a grand final against the club with best win–loss record, if that record was equal or better than that of the premiership points leader. If there was no such club, then the premiership points leader won the premiership; otherwise, then the winner of the play-off won the premiership. Among variations to the system: In 1907, the grand final challenger needed a strictly better win-loss record, not an equal record In some seasons, the home-and-away season was extended to six rounds, with the last two or three of those rounds being worth double points. From 1929 to 1941, the home-and-away season featured three rounds played for 4 premiership points per win, and two rounds played for 6 premiership points per win. A three-team system with challenge was then played, with the initial 1–3 seeds based on premiership points, and the right of challenge going only to the team with the strictly best home-and-away win-loss record. From 1945 to 1946, all home-and-away matches were played for 4 premiership points per win. A three-team system with challenge was then played based solely on premiership points seeding. From 1947 to 1985, the four-team Page-McIntyre system was used. From 1986 to 1999, the five-team McIntyre final five system was used. In 2000, the four-team Page-McIntyre system was used. From 2009 to 2010, unique final six systems were used. From 2011 to 2019, the five-team McIntyre final five system was used. From 2020 to 2024, the four-team Page-McIntyre system has been used.
