Stats
Bio
Making his debut as a teenager during one of St Kilda's bleakest periods, Bill Wishart was introduced to league football in the winless 1899 season. The young forward managed to hit the scoreboard with a goal during his brief two-game stint, stepping into a side that struggled significantly for competitiveness against established VFL rivals. Despite his early start at the senior level, Wishart's time at the Junction Oval was fleeting, and he did not feature for the club again after his rookie year, leaving him as one of many players rotated through the squad during the Saints' challenging formative decade.
