Stats
Bio
Born in the Victorian border town of Echuca, Bill Talbot arrived at South Melbourne during a successful period for the club, though he found it difficult to break into a settled lineup. He made just two senior appearances in the 1918 season, a year in which South Melbourne went on to claim the premiership, leaving Talbot on the fringes of the ultimate success. Seeking greater opportunity, he crossed to St Kilda the following season, where he managed to hit the scoreboard with three goals in six games, operating primarily as a forward option. His VFL career was brief, concluding after just eight matches across two years, before he later continued his football journey in Western Australia with East Fremantle.
