The 1950 VFL thirds season was the 5th season of the VFL thirds, the Australian rules football competition operating as the junior competition to the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Essendon won their first thirds premiership, defeating reigning premiers Carlton by 1 point.[1]
Following the demise of TAA after four rounds in the previous season, Richmond chose to enter a second team into the competition − known as Richmond Juniors. It lasted for one season, and was replaced by Collingwood in 1951.[2]
