[1] Yarraville was formed on 1 April 1903, and joined the Victorian Junior Football Association (VJFA), where it was highly successful.

[5] The 1912 premiership came after a controversial final: Yarraville had lost to Port Melbourne Railway United by three points, but protested that the goal umpire had erred in awarding one of Railway's goals in the second quarter; the protest was upheld and the game was awarded to Yarraville.

[6] Both clubs retained their name, colours and home ground, although the VJFA dropped the requirement for a reserves alignment in 1913.

The club struggled for support in Division 2, and in the mid-1970s when Association-wide crowds were averaging more than 4,500, Yarraville still seldom drew more than 1,000 fans to games.

[11] The club's on-field position improved in 1977 thanks to a big sponsorship deal, and Yarraville finished on top of the ladder, but was unable to win the grand final.
