Stats
Bio
Recruited from Brunswick in the VFA, Arthur Hart was a physically imposing figure who made an immediate impact for St Kilda in the late 1920s. Standing 185cm and weighing 85kg—significant size for the era—he used his frame effectively to become a reliable avenue to goal, booting 29 majors across two consistent seasons. Despite establishing himself as a key component of the Saints' lineup, his League career was abruptly curtailed by his off-field profession as a schoolteacher. Hart was transferred to a post at Mildura High School following the 1929 season, a move that forced him to abandon VFL football at just 24 years of age and left the club without a promising talent who was just entering his prime.
