The main primary source is The Argus via Trove newspapers: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home
Other newspapers are also used to verify details, including The Age.
Details of games involving Carlton are often verified on the comprehensive Blueseum site: http://www.blueseum.org/
The Footballer annual (compiled by Thomas P Power) has proven invaluable in producing a complete listing of results for the seasons 1875 to 1879.
Results are also being checked and cross-referenced progressively against the definitive volumes of the 'The Origins of Australian Football: Victoria's Early History' series by Mark Pennings.
The following people have provided assistance and support to this VFA statistics website:
== James Hothersall, who assisted with working through issues of the first-class status of games, in particular for the pre-1887 period
== Jeff Lawton, who compiled the results for the 1981 and 1986 seasons
== Wal Williams
== George Paras
== Ross Morrison
== Stuart Couper
== Richard Attard
== Rhett Bartlett
== Mark Baptist
== Adam from Demonwiki
== Dave Eastman of http://www.hardballget.net/
