Stats
Bio
Recruited from Fitzroy Juniors, Bill Punch was a diminutive forward who played a brief cameo for Collingwood during the 1906 VFL season. Standing at just 168cm, he was introduced to the senior side to provide a crumbing option in attack, making his debut in a Round 3 victory over Fitzroy. Despite the opportunity, he struggled to impact the scoreboard and found it difficult to retain his spot in a competitive Magpies lineup. His VFL career was ultimately short-lived, concluding after just three appearances, with his final game fittingly played against Fitzroy before he departed the league.
