BULLDOGS BREAK THE ICE!

It was back in 1954, in front of a crowd of 80,897 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground [MCG], the crowd was so large for the times, they even overflowed onto the arena, sitting between the fence & boundary line.



This was to be the Footscray Football Clubs 10th Premiership, but 1st in the big league, the VFL [now AFL], and with a 7 goals and a best on field performance from Full Forward Jack Collins.






The Scraggers got home comfortably by defeating Melbourne [The Demons] by 51 points, final score of 15.12.102 to 7.9.51.

To celebrate, years later, this set of cards were produced in honor of that great victory.
