Stats
Bio
A diminutive figure standing just 169cm, Alec Ingwersen fought his way through Melbourne's lower grades to briefly crack the senior side during the formidable Norm Smith era. Hailing from a pioneer family in Wantirna South, he progressed from the fourths in 1959 to the reserves before finally earning his senior debut against Carlton in Round 7, 1962. With the Demons boasting a star-studded lineup, opportunities for the lightweight rover were scarce, and his VFL career was limited to two consecutive matches before he lost his spot. Following his departure from the Demons, Ingwersen crossed to the VFA, where he became a key contributor for Waverley and played in the club's historic 1965 Division 1 premiership victory.
