Not all sash’s go the same way – odd . 1931 was the last year that the sash was worn

Harry Price's identification of Syd Hogg means that this photo must be from Round 10 1930

Harry Clarke. He is probably back row, third from left

Comment
A South Melbourne (VFL) Senior Team photographed at the Lake Oval circa 1930 or 1931. The players are wearing the club’s traditional white jumper with a red sash (the origin of the moniker ‘Blood-stained Angels’) which indicates the photo was taken in the very early thirties before the club switched to the white jumper with a red ‘V’.Two or three years later (1933) South Melbourne swept all before them and won their third VFL premiership. Bob Pratt senior, who kicked an all-time VFL record of 150 goals in 1934, is seated in the middle row with his hands on the shoulders of Hugh McLaughlin senior. Pratt’s first season at South was 1930. Joe Scanlan, South’s captain-coach 1930-31 is at the centre of the photo (balding). For Joe Scanlan, see Jim Main, Honour the Names, p. 219-224.
