* Both the Preston and Geelong clubs merged in 1963, competing as one entity for 10 seasons, winning the State League Championship in 1968 and ultimately being expelled in 1972. This club later took over the Essendon Lions in 1975 to form what would eventually become the Melbourne Knights. A special thanks to Roy Hay for his invaluable assistance in clarifying these records.
