Awards

• The Frosty Miller Medal was won jointly by Sam Grimley, Jordan Lisle and Liam McBean, who each kicked 42 goals during the home-and-away season. It was Grimley's second consecutive joint Frosty Miller Medal, and the most players ever to tie for the award. Across the completed season including finals, Grimley was the leading goalkicker with 46.
• The J. J. Liston Trophy was won by Nick Rippon, who polled 15 votes. Four players – Myles Sewell, Clint Jones, Matt Thomas and Sam Dunell – finished equal second with 14 votes.
• The Fothergill-Round Medal was won by Adam Marcon.
• The Development League premiership was won by Williamstown. In the Grand Final, played at North Port Oval on 19 September as a curtain-raiser to the senior first preliminary final, Williamstown 8.13 defeated Box Hill 8.12 by one point; scores were level at 60 apiece when time expired, and Williamstown scored the winning behind after three minutes of golden point extra time. It was the third consecutive year that Williamstown defeated Box Hill in the Development League Grand Final, and the second time out of those three years that the final margin was one golden point.

  Notable events

• After having televised VFA/VFL matches weekly since the 1987 finals series, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation ended its broadcasting arrangement with the VFL. A new broadcast deal covering the 2015 and 2016 seasons was signed with the Seven Network, which televised the match of the round live into Melbourne as a lead-in to its AFL coverage.
