Stats
Bio
Recruited from Poowong in South Gippsland, Ambrose Maher was a war-time contributor for Geelong who made his brief mark during the final year of the Great War. He joined the Pivotonians for the 1918 season, a period when VFL lists were frequently depleted by military enlistments and clubs relied heavily on country talent to field a side. Maher managed to hold his spot for 10 senior matches in that single campaign, proving to be a handy utility who could hit the scoreboard, finishing with three goals. His time at Corio Oval was limited to that solitary season, and he departed the VFL scene as quickly as he arrived, returning to country football after helping Geelong navigate one of the league's most difficult eras.
