Not sure what all that was about but here's the real thing in 1909 (pre 'Talkies')

Interesting video. Scrappy affair - boy, the standard of play improved considerably over the years. Particularly liked the easy “brown cows” saunter onto the field by both teams at the start, including the bloke with his hands behind his back. 

Corporate branding hadn’t taken hold, with Carlton players seeming to have four different types of jumper among the team  and South players having the sash going either way, as per photo below.
