Comment
North Melbourne’s 1946 VFL Thirds premiership team presumably photographed behind the grandstand at Arden Street. ‘Officials and Players Entrance’.
Mascot holds football with ‘NMFC 3rds premiers 1946’ written on it. Twenty players. Combination of white and black shorts. Jumper design varies. Six officials in back row, including St John’s Ambulance man. The very same photo is reproduced in Gerard Dowling’s history of the North Melbourne Football Club. See G.Dowling, The North Story, Playright, 1997, p. 97.

“I remember this photo, framed, hanging with pride in my grandparents home in Kensington.
That's Jokka and Gerry all right and the good looking bloke on the right hand end of the middle row is Kevin 'Frizzle' Hunt, my uncle.”
