Note 1: Round 9 in Jack McAlister's sequence of 3 centuries was a bye
Note 2: Peter Newton's first century was in round 10, his first or second match at the club, and the last of the regular season. The 5th XI played in the semi and grand final, Peter was obviously ineligible. He was selected in the Fourths in round 1 the following season, but that match was washed out, with no play possible (and replayed on Melbourne Cup Day). He then made another century in round 2 in the Fifths.
Peter's son told me that he believed his Dad played in all five teams, but the evidence (not listed in the Fourths averages at all, not even as an also batted), suggests that although he may have been picked in all five teams, he did not play in that round, and these two centuries were indeed in successive matches.
