Full line-up uncertain - Following from Nathan: Newspaper article says Donaghy played vice Gleeson. Proposed line up has Craigie and Harris playing. Newspaper reports mention 10 players names, but not Harris or Craigie. So perhaps either Harris or Craigie played, but not sure at this stage which one. Peter’s book says perhaps Toomer played instead of Harris, he is in newspaper reports. So seems it was more likely Craigie, but nothing concrete.
