Interleague matches

1906 Interleague Matches
Saturday, 23 June S.A.F.A. 7.9 (51) def. by V.F.A. 10.8 (68) Adelaide Oval [7]
Saturday, 11 August V.F.A. 14.19 (103) def. S.A.F.A. 13.9 (87) East Melbourne Cricket Ground (crowd: 5,000) [8]
Wednesday, 29 August Bendigo & Nth Dist. 3.12 (30) def. V.F.A. 3.10 (28) Upper Reserve [9]

The VFA's second match against the S.A.F.A. was originally scheduled to be played on an otherwise vacant day in the Melbourne football calendar, with a bye week in both the League and Association, and the V.F.L. team playing in Ballarat. However, the VFL made a change by shifting two of its 4 August matches onto 11 August, much to the VFA's chagrin, severely affecting the crowd at the game.[10]
