Association membership
Following the end of the 1893 season, St Jude's, Olinda, University 2nd and YMCA left the MJFA.[4]
Caulfield, Nunawading, Scotch Collegians and Windsor were admitted as new clubs.[4] Scotch Collegians was a precursor to the Old Scotch Football Club, which later entered the competition in 1921.[5][6]
Toorak-Grosvenor withdrawal
Toorak-Grosvenor played its final full match on 7 July, which was a loss against Alberton. By this point, they had only won 1 of their 9 games.[7]
One week later, they forfeited their 14 July game against Caulfield.[8] They resumed for a game against South St Kilda on 21 July, but after 10.8 to 0.0 was kicked against them, the match was abandoned at half-time and Toorak-Grosvenor disbanded as a club.[9][10]
A club called Fitzroy Wesleys played at least one game in Toorak-Grosvenor's place.[11]
Ladder
Fitzroy Wesleys was not included in the ladder at the end of the season published in The Sportsman.[12]
