Comment:
"Long before the teams came out it was evident that there was some bitterness for St. Kilda resented the inclusion in the North Melbourne team of Hoare (Essendon), Alley (Williamstown), and Walton (Port Melbourne). North Melbourne explained that the absence of Wells, Dick, Clarke (ill or injured), Carpenter (disqualified), and Hopkins and Smith (detained at camp), had exhausted their reserves, but St. Kilda pointed out that they,
too, had had to fill vacancies, and had done so with juniors or old players. The St. Kilda people objected to the introduction of three picked men, but they could do no more than protest, and eventually gave way. - 16-Aug-1915 Argus. Note - Association teams fielded 16 players, so had a shorter list and were not used to 18 players on the field, while from StKilda's perspective, they played Gravenall who had not played in the senior team since 1910 and Crudden a junior."
