The 1921 VFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Carlton Football Club and Richmond Football Club, held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 15 October 1921. It was the 24th annual Grand Final of the Victorian Football League, staged to determine the premiers for the 1921 VFL season. The match, attended by 43,122 spectators, was won by Richmond by a margin of 4 points, marking that club's second VFL/AFL premiership victory and second in succession.
During the half-time break, a tremendous hailstorm hit the ground, resulting in the field being totally covered by hailstones. Spectators ran to refreshment bars and the Members enclosure seeking cover. The hail was replaced by heavy rain, which turned the second half of the game into a muddy spectacle.[1]
