The 1912 VJFA Grand Final was an Australian rules football match contested between Port Melbourne Railway United and Yarraville at Croxton Park on 21 September 1912. It was the 10th grand final of the Victorian Junior Football Association (VJFA), held to determine the premiers of the 1912 VJFA season.
Railway United originally won the match by three points, but Yarraville successfully protested one of Port Melbourne's second quarter goals on the grounds of a goal umpire's error, and the result was reversed to a three-point Yarraville victory.
Although they had the right to challenge, Railway United objected to the decision and refused to play in protest, meaning that the grand final was scratched and Yarraville were awarded the premiership.[1] Railway United was almost expelled from the VJFA as a result.[2]
