This may be the Westridge team. The man wearing the hat on the right may be Jeremiah Dillon foreman of the sewer works. He was one of the early characters of Canberra and lived in one of the small brick cottages built in Section 64, Westridge 1921 (opposite the shops built later). Jeremiah could not read or write but he knew his job. The Canberra Community News has many stories of Jeremiah.

This is the Federals team, Federal Territory Football League premiers in 1926 - see Canberra Community News, 11 September 1926, which displays this photograph: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/66060403?searchTerm=Australian%20Rules. Federals were based at Westridge.
