A Large Portion, Yes
Just went for a bit of a read and thought it worthwhile to share this here.
The article is from The Argus, October 2, 1944.
Gained from the NLA's Trove website, viewable at http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article11363678
Note that the article's format is counter-intuitive: read the left-hand column until the right-hand column peters out, then read the right-hand column, then return to the left-hand column for the third and final section.
Still technically our last senior, premiership season flag, as neither Brisbane nor the Fitzroy Reds were in a true sense exactly Fitzroy, and while Fitzroy has come back into existence as a competing team from 2009, only runners' up trophies have been forthcoming since that time.
Apparently Dyer had been on a rampage in Richmond's previous outing, and for him to be restricted as much as he was this game, surely was a pretty big factor in the result.
I also repeat here some footage from the match that I pinched from our Video thread, which somebody found on the Brisbane board :
