Bio
Recruited from VFA club Preston, Arthur Ludlow made an immediate impact at the Junction Oval as a high-marking ruckman who could push forward and hit the scoreboard. He quickly established himself as a key pillar in the Saints' lineup, playing every game in his debut season and earning selection for Victoria in 1929, where he featured in the state's historic first victory over Western Australia in Perth. Ludlow's standing in the game was confirmed when he finished equal fifth in the 1929 Brownlow Medal, polling the most votes for St Kilda that year. After a solid 1930 campaign interrupted by a shoulder injury, he made the unusual decision to head north to Sydney, joining Newtown in 1931 to play alongside his brothers Geof and Frank. He returned to St Kilda for a solitary appearance in the opening round of 1932 before finishing his VFL career, remembered as a talented aerialist who shone briefly but brightly during a tough era for the club.
