Notes
- The leading goalkicker was Kelvin Templeton of Footscray with 91 goals
- The Brownlow Medal was won by Peter Moore
- The record for greatest winning margin was set twice during 1979. In Round 4, Collingwood defeated St Kilda by 178 points, breaking the record set 60 years before by South Melbourne. The new record was broken only three months later in Round 17, when Fitzroy defeated Melbourne by 190 points, a record which has yet to be broken.
- Fitzroy's score of 36.22.238 in the same game also set the record for highest score in a VFL/AFL game. This beat Footscray's one year old record by twenty-five points, and remained the record for thirteen years.
