Stats
Bio
Recruited from Portarlington on the Bellarine Peninsula, Barry Ward was a tall utility who earned a brief opportunity with Geelong during the Bob Davis era. Standing 185cm—a significant height for a footballer in the early 1960s—he was brought into the senior lineup late in the 1960 season, making his debut in a home clash against Fitzroy at Kardinia Park. Ward showed enough durability to retain his place in the side for the remainder of the year, playing the final five matches of the season in the Hoops. Despite holding his spot to close out the campaign, he did not feature for the club in subsequent years, leaving his VFL career as a short but consistent stint of five senior appearances before he moved on from the top level.
