Background
In the inaugural VJFL season, a second University Football Club team − University B − served as an affiliate for Melbourne. The team left the competition prior to the 1920 season, and Melbourne entered its own reserves side.[2]
This was the second and final VJFL season for West Melbourne. The club faced multiple heavy losses in throughout 1920, including a 197-point loss against Carlton District and a 229-point loss against St Kilda District. They were replaced by Essendon Juniors in 1921.[3]
