Stats
Bio
Recruited from Footscray in the VFA, Artie Hollis was a diminutive utility who earned a brief opportunity with South Melbourne during the 1901 season. Standing at just 166cm, he was one of the smaller players of his era, suited to a roving or forward pocket role where he could use his low centre of gravity to crumb packs in the heavy conditions of the time. His tenure at the top level was ultimately fleeting, consisting of just four senior appearances without a goal before he drifted out of the VFL system. While his on-field impact at South Melbourne was minimal, Hollis is remembered historically as a recipient of the Military Medal, distinguishing his life story well beyond his short stint in the league.
