[edit] Premiership season
In 1964, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, plus two substitute players, known as the 19th man and the 20th man. A player could be substituted for any reason; however, once substituted, a player could not return to the field of play under any circumstances.
Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds; matches 12 to 18 were the "home-and-way reverse" of matches 1 to 7.
Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1964 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the "Page-McIntyre system".

[edit] Awards
- The 1964 VFL Premiership team was Melbourne.
- The VFL's leading goalkicker was John Peck of Hawthorn who kicked 68 goals.
- The winner of the 1964 Brownlow Medal was awarded to Gordon Collis of Carlton with 28 votes (he was reported in Round 6, but was cleared).
- Fitzroy took the "wooden spoon" in 1964.
[edit] Notable Events
- Fitzroy did not win a single match in the 1964 season, the last team to do so.
- Carlton's Gordon Collis was reported at the Junction Oval in Round 6; he was cleared and went to win the Brownlow Medal.
- At the end of the round 10 match between Geelong and North Melbourne at Kardinia Park, North Melbourne coach, 5'4"in (163cm) Alan Killigrew was king-hit in the players race by an officially unidentified Geelong player. A brief brawl ensued, with Killigrew emerging with his face covered in blood. The VFL initiates an inquiry into the matter, involving the examination of 20 different witnesses. On 20 July the VFL announces that no charges will be laid against Geelong's 6'2"in (188cm) Geoff Rosenow.
- In round 13, North Melbourne rover and professional dentist Allen Aylett breaks his left arm, and retires immediately.
- On 22 August 1964 (round 18), Richmond played its last home game at the Punt Road Oval, and would play all future home games at the Melbourne Cricket Ground; St Kilda played its last home game at the Junction Oval, and would play all future home games at the Moorabbin Oval; North Melbourne played its last home game at the Arden Street Oval, and would play all future home games at the Coburg City Oval (they returned to the Arden Street Oval in 1966).
