* In seasons where no finals series were held the team that topped the ladder, after all the home and away matches (minor premiership) were played, were declared both the Minor Premiers and the Premiers. The thirteen players who played the most number of matches in the season for the team that won the premiership can be generally regarded as premiership winning players.

The positions in the team listed here, which is recognised as the premiership winning team of that year, are determined by calculating the number of matches played in each position by the thirteen players, with the highest number of games in each spot being named in those positions.

If any player outside that first thirteen played 50% or more matches in the season then they are named on the bench, and considered premiership winning players as well.
