Round: 6 Venue: Punt Rd Date: Sat, 01-Jun-1940
Richmond 17 10 (112)
St Kilda 11 10 (76)
Richmond had a 22 point lead after the first quarter. The lead was expanded each quarter for a final 36 point victory.
Richmond ended the Home and Away Season in second place on the ladder behind Melbourne. A tight Semi-Final saw Richmond defeat Melbourne by six points putting Richmond directly into the Grand Final. Melbourne then defeated Essendon by five points in a very tight game to win the preliminary final and then Norm Smith kicked seven goals in Melbourne's 39 point Grand Final Victory.
18 players, black shorts.
Alan McDonald identified in Richmond Senior Team 1941 (SLV 122_107) by James Taylor and also matched to this photo.
Jack Scott identified by James Taylor from an image in 'Tigers of Old'. Jack Scott is back row, far left in this photo.
Joe Reilly was the third player from the match that was unidentified. In our initial run, a player was missed in the back row. But this was incorrect and Joe Reilly must be that player.

Comment
Further Work Needed
Merrett and Steele played only one Home and Away game together all season, Therefore this is probably that match.http://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/1940/141519400601.html
