Comment
This photo was taken at Princess Park probably before the start of the 1943 Grand Final. In a tight game Richmond would come take a 5 point deficit into the final quarter but turn that around to win by 5 points against a determined Essendon team.For Game details see Reference_ 1943 VFL Grand Final
Further Work Needed
The magazine from the 1950's entitled 'Footy and the Clubs that Made it' was produced by the Argus and I assume used photos from the Argus photo library. Their version of the 1943 Grand Final is taken from a slightly different angle. The angle is easiest to see when focusing on Leo Merrett in the front row.This version of the Richmond Team photo appeared in the Argus the day after the Grand Final
