Association membership

edit

Like the previous season in 1894, a total of 10 teams competed in the MJFA.[4] Toorak-Grosvenor withdrew and folded during the 1894 season, and a club called Fitzroy Wesleys played at least one game in Toorak-Grosvenor's place.[5] Fitzroy Wesleys did not return in 1895, with Waltham admitted into the association.[6]
