Comment
A Carlton (VFL) Senior Team photographed at Princes Park, Carlton. Probably 1947 team. A premiership year for Carlton. There are thirty players shown in this photo. It is not a match day - there is no-one on the terraces. Players wearing white shorts. Former West Australian Ern Henfry is at the centre of the group. He was appointed Carlton captain in 1947 (and continued as skipper until 1952).
Further Work Needed
Bert Deacon is 1947 Brownlow medallist...Carltons First Brownlow?
Fred Stafford kicked a goal in the final Sseconds of the 1947 Grand Final when Carlton was five points behind http://www.blueseum.org/tiki-index.php?page=Fred+Stafford
Fred Stafford began his career in 1947
Alan Streeter began his senior carrer in 1948
Bennett and Sanger did not play in 1948
Photo is probably 1947 and Alan Streeter identification needs to be checked
Note that Alan Streeter was promoted to the Senior list in mid 1947, but did not play his first Senior Game until 1948
