The 1929 VFA season was the 51st season of the Victorian Football Association (VFA), an Australian rules football competition played in the state of Victoria.
Northcote won the VFA premiership for the first time, after defeating by 42 points in the 1929 VFA Grand Final.
Two new clubs â Oakleigh and Sandringham â entered the VFA, bringing the size of the Association to twelve clubs (the largest it had been since 1896). This was the last change to the Association membership until 1951.
In November 1928, the Oakleigh Football Club applied to join the Association. Oakleigh had been a successful club in the Sub-District Association, had a good quality ground, the growing suburb of Oakleigh provided the team strong support, and the club had been previously considered for Association membership. Oakleigh's application was accepted unanimously.
To accommodate a balanced fixture with the two extra clubs, the home-and-home season was extended from eighteen matches to twenty-two matches, the longest it had been since fixed-length seasons were first introduced in 1894. Then, the top four clubs contested a finals series under the amended Argus system to determine the premiers for the season.
