McClelland Trophy

Encyclopedia : M : MC : MCC : McClelland Trophy

The McClelland Trophy is an Australian rules football trophy. It is awarded to the team finishing in first place at the end of the AFL home and away season. This is referred to as the "minor premiership".

The award is relatively low key because although finishing on top of the ladder ensures an advantageous draw in the AFL Finals Series the focus of attention is the Premiership (winning the Grand Final).

The award is named after Dr William C. McClelland, an administrator who is a member of the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
