Stats
Bio
Recruited from Benalla in country Victoria, Arthur Hall was a steady defender who became a fixture of the Fitzroy backline during the late 1930s. He played over 60 games for the Maroons between 1936 and 1941, earning a reputation as a reliable backman who rarely drifted forward to impact the scoreboard. Following a hiatus during World War II, Hall attempted a return to VFL level with Carlton for the 1945 season. His time at Princes Park was brief, yielding just three senior appearances early in the year before he was omitted from the side, meaning he played no on-field role in the Blues' historic "Bloodbath" premiership victory later that season.
