PHOTOGRAPH: AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL FOOTBALL CARNIVAL, SUBIACO OVAL, 1937
1937This black and white image shows the players of the Western Australian team filing onto the field at Subiaco Oval. The team is dressed in black shorts with a distinctive Black Swan design on their football jerseys. They are led by an official wearing a blazer and a felt hat. Notable West Australian players who may be in this photograph include Mick Cronin, George Doig and J. Hooper.
There is a large number of spectators in the background.
The 1937 Perth Carnival, also known as the National Football Carnival, was held at Subiaco Oval and featured teams from Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria. Over 40,000 spectators watched the games, leading to significant damage to the oval facilities as it was not equipped to cope with such a large number of spectators.
