Bio
Billy Dick began his VFL journey with Fitzroy in 1908, establishing himself as a handy contributor over three seasons before making a significant switch to Carlton in 1911. The move to Princes Park proved to be the making of his career, as he quickly developed into one of the league's premier rovers. Known for his pace, clever ball use, and ability to drift forward and kick goals, he became a central figure in the Blues' midfield setup during a dominant period for the club.
His time at Carlton was highlighted by back-to-back premierships in 1914 and 1915, where his work ethic and consistency were vital to the team's success. Dick's standing within the playing group grew throughout the decade, culminating in his appointment as club captain for his final season in 1918. He retired having played over 150 games across two clubs, remembered as a tenacious follower who led by example during one of Carlton's most successful eras.
