The economic depression had which begun in1890 reached its peak in 1893. Victoria was hardest hit as the 1880s Land Boom collapsed.
Over 20,000 Victorian workers were out of a job and this affected the football club's revenue. Clubs were trying to save money and cutting the funding of the Reserves was one way of doing that.
In 1892 many VFA clubs did not field a Reserves team, and this came to head early in the season of 1893, when, after a few rounds, the VFA abandoned the Reserves or Second Twenty competition completly.
Carlton tried its best to hang on to its Second Twenty and the secretary E. Penny tried to arrange games with junior clubs. A few games were played on an ad-hoc basis, but to no avail.
So the VFA clubs turned to a local junior club to act as a reserve or feeder side to the senior team.
Below is the final VFA 1892 reserve/second twenty ladder which had only 7 clubs competing.

Final Home & Away Game
Carlton Juniors v North Melbourne Juniors in Royal Park
Walk-over for North Melbourne, Carlton Juniors failed to turn up.
However, a dispute arose over which team was to blame. Seems that Carlton thought the game was in Royal Park and North thought the game was at Arden Street.
It was declared a draw and both teams were awarded 2 points each. (Friday Sept 08 Herald p3)
Final Ladder Argus September 04
1894

“Many innovations are contemplated this season, one of the pricipal being the disbandment of the second twenty. As several of the clubs last season did away with their “second string,” and Geelong have followed suit this season, it is reasonable to suppose that second twenties have outlived their usefulness, and will be reckoned among the things that have been.”

Final Home & Away Game
Carlton Juniors v North Melbourne Juniors in Royal Park
Walk-over for North Melbourne, Carlton Juniors failed to turn up.
However, a dispute arose over which team was to blame. Seems that Carlton thought the game was in Royal Park and North thought the game was at Arden Street.
It was declared a draw and both teams were awarded 2 points each. (Friday Sept 08 Herald p3)
