Many thanks to Michael Riley of Boyles Football Photos for these wonderful images. I especially liked the 1911 photo, where – as explained in the documentary, the boundary umpire is raising a handkerchief to indicate the ball is out of bounds.

The Essendon v Geelong photo is actually the East Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Thanks Simon. Much appreciated. Have made the correction.
