Line 1: Results and statistics for the '''[[Victorian Football League]] season of [[1898]]'''. '''Operation Anadyr''' was the code name used by the [[Soviet Union]] for their [[Cold War]] ([[1962]]) plan to deploy [[ballistic missile]]s, medium-range bombers, and a regiment of mechanized infantry in [[Cuba]]. Anadyr included a ''maskirovka'' campaign intended to mislead Western intelligence forces: personnel were issued arctic equipment and trained for cold weather, and the operation itself was named for the [[Anadyr]] river in northern [[Siberia]]. ("Anadyr" had also been the name of [[Joseph Stalin]]'s plan in the [[1950s]] to stage a million-man army in [[Chukotka]] to invade [[Alaska]].) The ballistic missiles were shipped to Cuba on merchant ships, and were detected by American intelligence agencies both en route and in Cuba; the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]] threatened [[nuclear war]] until diplomatic pressure caused [[Premier of the Soviet Union]] [[Nikita Khrushchev]] to halt Anadyr and remove the missiles. ''[[Victorian Football League season 1897\|Season 1897]] – '''Season 1898''' – [[Victorian Football League season 1899\|Season 1899]]'' ~~== Operation Kama ==~~ A part of Operation Anadyr was '''Operation Kama''', a plan to forward-base seven Soviet ballistic missile submarines in [[Mariel, Cuba]], much like the [[United States]] bases ballistic missile submarines in [[Holy Loch, Scotland]]. The operation began on [[1 October]] [[1962]] with the departure of four diesel-electric attack submarines to the [[Caribbean Sea]] to clear the way. All four submarines were Project 641 boats, known to [[NATO]] as the [[Foxtrot class submarine\|"Foxtrot" class]]. The boats were the [[Soviet submarine B-4\|B-4, known as ''Chelyabinski Komsomolets'']], the [[Soviet submarine B-36\|B-36]], the [[Soviet submarine B-59\|B-59]], and the [[Soviet submarine B-130\|B-130]]. ''See [[List of Australian Football League premiers]] for a complete list.'' Kama failed independently of Anadyr; none of the ballistic missile submarines ever departed for Cuba, and all four of the attack submarines were detected and followed closely by American [[destroyer]]s and ASW aircraft. (Some of the destroyer crews harassed the Soviet submarines by dropping hand grenades overboard, which did no harm to the boats but made it clear that [[depth charge]]s could follow at any time.) Equipment failures and the skill of the destroyer crews prevented three of the submarines from breaking contact long enough to surface and recharge their batteries; those three suffered the ignominy of surfacing in sight of their enemy, an action that in time of war would have caused their death or capture. Only ''Chelyabinski Komsomolets'' successfully broke contact and returned to the Soviet Union without being forced to surface. ==[[Grand Final]]== ~~[[Category:Military of the Soviet Union]]~~ ~~[[Category:Operations]]~~ [[Fitzroy Football Club\|Fitzroy]] defeated [[Essendon Football Club\|Essendon]] 5.8 (38) to 3.5 (23). (For an explanation of scoring see [[Australian rules football]]). ==Ladder== All teams played 14 games during the home and away season, for a total of 56. A sectional round of 3 games per team was then played, for a total of 12. An additional 2 games were played during the finals series. ===Home and away ladder=== {\| border style="border-collapse:collapse" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 \| !align=center\|Team !align=center\|Won !align=center\|Lost !align=center\|Draw !align=center\|Points \|- !1 \|[[Essendon Football Club\|Essendon]] \|align=center\|11 \|align=center\|3 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|44 \|- !2 \|[[Collingwood Football Club\|Collingwood]] \|align=center\|10 \|align=center\|4 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|40 \|- !3 \|[[Fitzroy Football Club\|Fitzroy]] \|align=center\|10 \|align=center\|4 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|40 \|- !4 \|[[Geelong Football Club\|Geelong]] \|align=center\|9 \|align=center\|5 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|36 \|- \|colspan=6\| \|- !5 \|[[South Melbourne Football Club\|South Melbourne]] \|align=center\|7 \|align=center\|7 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|28 \|- !6 \|[[Melbourne Football Club\|Melbourne]] \|align=center\|5 \|align=center\|8 \|align=center\|1 \|align=center\|22 \|- !7 \|[[Carlton Football Club\|Carlton]] \|align=center\|3 \|align=center\|10 \|align=center\|1 \|align=center\|14 \|- !8 \|[[St Kilda Football Club\|St Kilda]] \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|14 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|0 \|- \|} ===Section A ladder=== {\| border style="border-collapse:collapse" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 \| !align=center\|Team !align=center\|Won !align=center\|Lost !align=center\|Draw !align=center\|Points \|- !1 \|[[Fitzroy Football Club\|Fitzroy]] \|align=center\|3 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|12 \|- !2 \|[[Essendon Football Club\|Essendon]] \|align=center\|2 \|align=center\|1 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|8 \|- !3 \|[[South Melbourne Football Club\|South Melbourne]] \|align=center\|1 \|align=center\|2 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|4 \|- !4 \|[[Carlton Football Club\|Carlton]] \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|3 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|0 \|- \|} ===Section B ladder=== {\| border style="border-collapse:collapse" cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 \| !align=center\|Team !align=center\|Won !align=center\|Lost !align=center\|Draw !align=center\|Points \|- !1 \|[[Collingwood Football Club\|Collingwood]] \|align=center\|3 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|12 \|- !2 \|[[Geelong Football Club\|Geelong]] \|align=center\|2 \|align=center\|1 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|8 \|- !3 \|[[Melbourne Football Club\|Melbourne]] \|align=center\|1 \|align=center\|2 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|4 \|- !4 \|[[St Kilda Football Club\|St Kilda]] \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|3 \|align=center\|0 \|align=center\|0 \|- \|} [[Category:Australian Football League seasons\|1898]] [[Category:1898 in sports]]
