Comment
Cannot identify team or grandstand. The grandstand could possibly be South Melbourne’s at Lake Oval. Appears to be the same grandstand as in Photo 82 version 1 (H.2008. 122/148) - note the clock is the same clock in both photos. At least one of the players appears in both photos - the player on extreme right of middle row in 45/1 is on extreme left of top row in 82/1. The team jumper has sash. Not Richmond (VFL) or Williamstown (VFA). Perhaps Essendon (VFL) Seconds. Perhaps a Coburg (VFA) team (note the closeness of the accession number 436 to the number directly below - 435). Probably neither Essendon nor Coburg. Coburg, in Photo 6 version 7 for example, do not have striped socks. This team appears to have striped socks. The fact that one player has white shorts and the rest have black suggests this team is neither VFL nor VFA. Bad emulsion damage along bottom of image.Further Work Needed
