[edit]

This table lists the players recognised as VFA/VFL leading goalkicker prior to the establishment of the Frosty Miller Medal. Over this period, the leading goalkicker was recognised based on the complete season including finals matches (unlike the Frosty Miller Medal which considers home-and-away goals only). For the earliest period of the competition where there were no finals and teams played games against a mix of senior and junior opponents, the list below includes goals scored in all Victorian Football Association games (not just games against senior opponents).[12]
