The famous MACHINE team.

Dumb question, with only 18 in the photo how did they handle injuries during the game, or did the 19th and 20th men not rate a spot in the photo?

That (18) would have been the full team back in 1929. Not until 1930 was a 19th man (reserve) allowed. In 1897 there were 20 per side, that changed to 18 in 1899.

So if a player broke his leg in the first five minutes of a game (1899-1929) it was just bad luck!!

An all time favourite of mine.

The mercurial but equally hot tempered Dick Condon.

Probably the player I’d most want to be but the polar opposite temperament wise

Ted Rowell one of our greats - forward type - super star of his time

The famous MACHINE team.

I love looking at these old photos. So many of our all-time greats are in this one.

Assuming this photo was taken on the day of a match (in 1929), it must be when we played Richmond in Rd. 1 at Victoria Park (we won by 17 points): https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/1929/041419290427.html

Bruce Andrew only played 4 games that year, and that is the only game (of those 4) where this lineup played, so it must be the Rd. 1 side.

George Angus, early “coach“ captain of our premiership beginnings...

3 flags 1902, 1903 and the leader of 1910.

Just love it too.
The history, bringing the old stuff to life.
The best part of big footy is this kind of stuff.

So do I! Was Jack Thompson known to be a Collingwood supporter? BTW, doesn't that shot by Leon Davis hit the post - if it did it was probably a big talking point at the time, but I just can't remember?!!

That's a great photo! To me, the similarity in looks between Peter Lucas, Bill Twomey and Keith Beckwith is uncanny, especially the latter two!
Lucas:

Twomey (I'm pretty sure):

Beckwith:


Ken Bennett (bottom right) seems to stand out with that haircut! And what were those players doing with hands in the pockets?!!
