Bio
Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Alf McDougall arrived at Fitzroy via North Melbourne in the VFA and immediately found himself in the thick of the league's early action. He made a stunning start to his VFL career, booting two goals in a match-winning debut performance against Carlton in 1898. A versatile forward capable of playing tall at centre half-forward or crumbing in the pocket, McDougall became a mainstay during the Maroons' most successful era. He played in three consecutive Grand Finals, capturing back-to-back premierships in 1898 and 1899, and later secured a lasting family connection to the club when his son, Roy, followed in his footsteps to play for Fitzroy.
