1905 VFL Season: Fitzroy

After defeating Essendon in the first semi final and defeating Carlton in the final, Collingwood exercised their right to challenge for the premiership by virtue of having the best (win-loss) record up until and including the final (in addition to the regular season). Fitzroy defeated Collingwood in the challenge final, winning the premiership.
