1938 Grand Final 'Football Record', complete. Rarely seen. Carlton won its 6th Premiership when it defeated Collingwood by 15 points at the MCG. This Grand Final was attended by 96,486 spectators, setting a new record as the largest crowd to have witnessed a premiership decider in VFL Grand Final history, and breaking the previous year's record by eight thousand. The ground was not large enough to accommodate the crowd comfortably ? the Health Department had previously advised 84,000 as a maximum capacity ? and the fence in front of the scoreboard collapsed under the strain before the game, resulting in some spectators watching the game from between the fence and the boundary line.
