23 players took part in the final series. Seems to be 23 players plus officals in this picture. Can anyone name them?
Charlie Davey is the tallest back row, Maybe Harry Vallence is back row 3 from Davey on the right.
Jimmy Goonan standing back row to the immeadiate left of Davey. Could be Frank Brody reserves secretary, standing second front row far right.

Before the game the 1926 Reserves premiership flag was unfurled by the wife of the president, Mrs. Reyment.
The visitors got off to a good start to lead 4.3 - 1.0 at quarter time. The Blues hit back to trail by 4 points at half time. A very even second half followed. Recruit C. Davey from Chelsea was put on the ball and his high marking and play around the ground was a feature of the remaining quarters. The lead changed hands with the Blues winning by 6 points.
Carlton won; 10.6.66 - 8.12.60
Goals; Mullens 4, P. Kennedy 3, Vallence 2, Byrne

Carlton played Geelong at Princes Park
Crowd; 600
Geelong led at the first break due to Carlton playing the man instead of the ball. The coach got stuck into the Carlton players and at half time scores were level. The Blues got on top and in the last term and outclassed the visitors.
18 year old Charlie Davey showed all the poise of a much more experienced player.

Carlton played Collingwood in the Reserves Second Semi Final on the MCG
Attendance; 8,349 (record) Gate takings £300 also a record.
Carlton captain Jimmy Goonan was injured and did not play.
The Blues were on the back foot from the opening bounce. Collingwood were contantly attacking, were quicker and held sway in the air. The Carlton defenders had to work over time with Denis Kelleher, Robbins, Bill Downie and Parkhill the best of them. At half time the Blues were 19 points in arrears.
On resumption Collingwood goaled and and it looked grim for the Blues. However once again the defence stood up and the 'Woods only managed 5 behinds for the rest of the third term. Carlton very rarely were able to get the ball into their forward line. Twice they went forward, both times through the good play of Frank Mount which resulted in goals to Jack Way and Harry Vallence. At three quarter time the Blues trailled by 18 points.
Charlie Davey was swung into the ruck and immediately started taking marks around the ground. When both Allan Skehan and George Styles goaled the crowd was up on its feet. Collingwood were tiring and Denis Kelleher repulsed many of their attacks. Carlton crept closer through adding several behinds. Two points separated the teams when Frank Mount brilliantly ran down from the wing and threaded an angled goal to give the Blues the lead with six minutes to go. Both sides were trying to attack when Parkhill pulled down a mark in a pack of players in front of the goals. Parkhill kicked truly to give the Blues a 10 point win.

October 01
Carlton played South Melbourne in the Preliminary Final on the M.C.G.
South had use of the strong wind in the first quarter. Driving rain midway through the second term turned the ground into a quagmire.
Carlton did most of the attacking but they could not break through. The sodden, leaden ball made marking impossible and 'soccering' was the order of the day.
South led by 15 points at the last change.
If Carlton had won the match they would have been premiers. However as they lost, they had the right to challenge South Melbourne because the Blues had finished on top of the ladder at the end of the home and away season.
