Thank you for providing additional information about this object, we are always keen to learn more about our collection, and improve our data. Following further research, it was determined that this photograph is indeed of Preston Football Club, not Prahran Football Club. We have updated our catalogue with this correction.

I can't find any record of Arthur Sleith ever playing for Prahran, but he did definitely play for Preston. http://www.thevfaproject.org/pages/Players/Sleith,_Arthur.php And the jumpers the players are wearing look more like Preston jumpers. As far as who else is in this photo, I'm pretty sure middle row, third from right, is Bill Maslen.
