The 1941 Premiership medal won by Melbourne Football Club hall of Fame Inductee Percy Beames. In superb original condition. The 1941 VFL Grand Final was contested between Melbourne and Essendon at the MCG on 27 September 1941. It was the 45th annual Grand Final of the Victorian football League, and attended by 79,687 spectators, was won by Melbourne by a margin of 29 points. By claiming their third successive premiership, Melbourne joined Carlton and Collingwood as the only clubs to achieve that feat. Once again, Beames was the outstanding player on the ground and booted six goals for the winning team. It is most interesting to note that Melbourne's team was understrength, as it had been depleted by the war. Syd Anderson, Harold ball, Ron Barassi (Snr.) and Keith Truscott, who were members of the previous season's premiership, missed the 1941 Grand Final as they were serving their country and would all lose their lives. Provenance: The family, by descent.
