Clip description

This clip begins with the crowd watching an AFL match in 1925. They wave their hats to the camera. The AFL players run out onto the field and play.

Curator’s notes

Although we have a sense of the sequence of events at an AFL game, being silent and without intertitles, this footage is difficult to follow.
