The match, attended by 32,688 spectators, was won by Fitzroy by a margin of 24 points, marking that club's third premiership victory. Right to challenge This season was played under the amended Argus system. Fitzroy was the minor premier, and Carlton had finished second. The teams both qualified for this match by winning their semi-finals matches. If Carlton had won this match, Fitzroy would have had the right to challenge Carlton to a rematch for the premiership on the following weekend, because Fitzroy had the best record in the league. The winner of that match would then have won the premiership.Stephen Rodgers Every Game Ever Played: VFL/AFL Results, 1897–1991 Viking O'Neil Ringwood, VIC 3rd 1992 Teams _gold_v_top 860038 002D62 860038 Fitzroy _upper_white1 _3whitehoops 112541 002D62 112541 Carlton #FED102 Fitzroy Fitzroy Football Club #860038 Alf Sharp Fred Fontaine Wally Naismith Ern Jenkins Jim Sharp Joe Johnson Alf Bartlett Harry Clarke Les Millis Edgar Kneen Gerald Brosnan (c) Gilbert Barker Jack McDonough Percy Sheehan Percy Trotter Herbert Milne Bill Walker Bill McSpeerin #FFFFFF Carlton Carlton Football Club #0E1E2D Billy Payne Frank Hince Ernie Walton Billy Leeds Albert Trim Charlie Roland George Bruce Bob Boyle Ted Kennedy Henry McShane Mick Grace Joe McShane (c) Jim Marchbank George Topping Eddie Prescott Jim Flynn Fred Elliott Archie Snell Jack Worrall Field umpire – Henry "Ivo" Crapp Boundary umpire – Bert Wregg Statistics Goalkickers thumb|right|250px|Fitzroy FC, Premiers Fitzroy G Brosnan 2 E Kneen 2 J McDonough 1 L Millis 1 P Sheehan 1 P Trotter 1 B Walker 1Carlton G Bruce 1 M Grace 1 E Prescott 1 A Snell 1 See also 1904 VFL season References Grand final Category:VFL/AFL Grand Finals Category:Fitzroy Football Club Category:Carlton Football Club Category:September 1904 in sports Category:September 1904 in Australia
