Stats
Bio
Recruited from Beulah in the Southern Mallee Football League, Bert Rogers was a rugged ruckman who joined Hawthorn during the player-depleted years of the Second World War. Standing 182cm and weighing a robust 91kg, Rogers was renowned as a physical protector who absorbed heavy contact to shield his smaller teammates. He was not a spectacular player, but a consistent stalwart who did the heavy lifting in the packs and drifted forward to contribute on the scoreboard. His VFL career was a brief but serviceable four-season stint at Glenferrie Oval, where he provided essential experience and bulk to a struggling side before finishing his tenure in 1946.
