1965-77 256 games 301 goals. (b: 18 Jul 1945 188 cms 96.5 kgs). A burly tough character from South Warrnambool who was one of the most popular players in St Kilda's history. Most of his first year was spent as a backman but in 1966 he was shifted to full-forward where his strength and stay in the square approach fitted in with the system of giving Baldock plenty of space. His kicking wasn't always reliable and he preceded an 8.1 effort with a trustrating 2.7. He had played in the losing 1965 grand final side in defence but he was a key forward in the 1966 finals series booting five goals in the history making grand final win. In 1967 he produced one of his most brilliant efforts against Essendon when he kicked six goals in the third quarter. He struggled in 1970 and many people thought his best football might have been behind him but he proved that wrong and had a fine season in 1971 mainly as a defender. Apart from the occasional foray into attack that was where he stayed for the remainder of his career. After Morrow retired in 1966 he assumed a greater role as the team's enforcer and while he was a folk hero at Moorabbin he was considered a villain by the opposition. Off the field opponents regarded him as one of the nicest blokes in the game. He said that he was considering retirement in 1976 because the game was run run run and that's not really my style. In his younger days he tipped the scales at 14 and a half stone but this ballooned to just under 18 stone. He cut that back to 16.10 in his last couple of years before going to Canberra as coach of Ainslie. He was tremendously popular in the ACT and led a local side in a victory over a Victorian B team. His 256 games was a St Kilda club record until broken by his mate Barry Breen and 16 finals appearances remains a club record. He won St Kilda's best and fairest in 1973 and was club leading goalkicker four times. He represented a Victorian B team in 1967.
