So another player of interest. Dave McGrath according to AFL games records played 1 game in 1900 in round 14 for Fitzroy against SKilda.
The st Kilda part is the giveaway as st Kilda was rank at that time and in the Geelong game in round 13, Fitzroy lost 5 or 6 players from recollection through injury.
Consequently given the opponent and the makeshift nature of the team , the St Kilda game is lightly reported on Trove and from recollection Mcgraths name does not even get a mention.
A McGrath did play for Prahran from recollection but I didn't get an initial from the reports.
This sounds like one of those infrequent games where a team cops a slew of injuries promotes a few kids, most of whom do not inspire.
According to AFL records he plays no further games.
A Dave McGrath from recollection plays in the 20s and, perhaps, there is a connection there.
