Teams

Recruited from the local Beverley Football Club following their 1912 amateur premiership, Arthur Heath was immediately handed a debut in the opening round of the 1913 season. Standing 180cm—a significant height for a follower or key position player of that era—he ran out for the Tigers against Geelong at Corio Oval before playing his second and final game the following week against Essendon at Punt Road. He kicked his solitary VFL goal against the Dons but was unable to cement a permanent spot in the side. Heath's top-level career was confined to those two appearances, and he was omitted from the senior list shortly after, never to return to the VFL arena.
