.* J. Parkhill was presented with a silver cup for best player for 1925 at the 8th Annual Meeting of the Carlton Second Eighteen on March 02 1926. (Trove: Age March 03 p9)
Could this be Parkhill's cup in the photograph?

Note: J. Dee second front row third from left, seems to the only one wearing the 1923 - 26 guernsey with the white stripe. Perhaps the Reserves had to wear the Senior's cast offs.

Three new clubs were admitted, Hawthorn, North Melbourne and Footscray. (Trove: Age March 25 1925)
