  7. ↑ Although there's a "Hogan" listed in the St Kilda team — i.e., Joe Hogan — to play against Essendon, no "O'Hagan" is listed (Tomorrow's Games, The Herald, (Friday, 23 July 1897), p.2.); however, given that a check between that selected team and the participants listed by the AFL () shows that at least five of those selected did not play, it seems that O'Hagan must have been a late, last-minute inclusion.
