1924 VJFL Season: Geelong Seconds
These are the details of the premiership results for the Geelong Seconds for the 1924 season of the Victorian Junior Football League (currently known as the Australian Football League Reserves). The team used Corio Oval as their home ground, playing nine matches there (nine as hosts). The team finished the regular season in first place, securing the minor premiership, and in turn, a place in the finals series. After facing the Richmond Seconds, the Essendon Seconds and the Fitzroy Seconds in a round-robin finals series, the Geelong Seconds finished second. The Geelong Seconds exercised their right to challenge for the premiership by virtue of being the minor premiers. The Geelong Seconds defeated the Essendon Seconds in the challenge final (by default), winning the premiership.
