GRAFT Ratings
The initial GRAFT seed ratings were based on each team's performance in the
1896 VFA season. (Accounting for the fact only goals were counted in scorelines
prior to 1897.)
No grand final was played - instead, a round-robin between the top four teams was played out, with Essendon declared the premiers after being undefeated in this phase.
