(For an explanation of scoring see Australian rules football). Awards The 1903 VFL Premiership team was Collingwood. The VFL's leading goalkicker was Teddy Lockwood of Collingwood with 35 goals. South Melbourne took the "wooden spoon" in 1903. Notable events Boundary umpires were added to some VFL matches, relieving the field umpire of the task of returning the ball to play from the boundary, and would be made permanent from 1904. Following their Round 1 loss to Geelong, St Kilda had played 100 VFL games for a record of two wins and 98 losses.
