#FlashbackFriday ⏳This invitation to a 'scratch match' was made in 1884 by Alexander McCracken to Isaac Drape. By 1884, Essendon had moved from various "paddocks" in Ascot Vale and Flemington to the East Melbourne Cricket Ground, and it seems that the Bush Inn was the local spot for the team. Drape Collection, at City of Melbourne Libraries.
