[Shane Hird]

The first time the premiership cup left Victoria

Not enough is written about that eerie day. All Victorians like my self were in shock for many months after. It truely was the final end of what we had known as the VFL

Such a great photo that. Opposition fans had it in for Lloydy and hated him. But even a half witted footy fan has to agree that Matty Lloyd,in his youthful prime , was a master of pack leaping speccies and grabbed some of the best marks in history..

Not a cheap shot at Pies, and hate Cats, but this is actually a great photo showing the body language of the runners up
in a sea of blue & white.

Yeah realised later. Saw the thread title and this is the first image I thought of so posted.

It wasnt always normal for the runners up to look like a wet weekend

Ripping photo that one.

Just dripping with history this one. The "playoff match" (grand final) between Collingwood and South Melbourne on October 3 1896. The match was required as the clubs finished equal top of the ladder with 58 points each.

Collingwood are in their traditional uniform, South in red and white hoops.

It was played at the long demolished East Melbourne Cricket Ground, the home of Essendon FC.

It was also the last match for the VFA as the nation's premier football league. A few weeks later, 8 of the strongest clubs resigned from the VFA and formed the VFL.

Geelong v North Melbourne 1994 Preliminary Final - Ablett marks the ball with two seconds left as he sends Geelong through to the Grand Final. Mick Martyn left distraught by the moment.

Fantastic. What street would be behind? How many of those houses still stand?

The Collingwood player in the middle of the picture running is a dead ringer for dipper

It was on the south west corner of what is now the intersection of Jolimont Rd and Wellington Parade South. If you Google Map > Satellite you'll see one of the apartment buildings is a semi circle shape almost like a grandstand, which I believe is an architectural nod to the history of the spot.

My best guess is the photo is looking east, making the street Jolimont Road (was Jolimont Parade). There's still some period looking houses along there, whether they're the same ones I'm not sure.
