Arriving at South Melbourne from Leopold, Billy McGee established himself as a consistent performer for the Bloods during the early 1900s. He made his debut in the opening round of the 1903 season and quickly became a regular fixture in the side, operating primarily as a follower who could drift forward to impact the scoreboard. McGee played a role in the club's 1903 finals campaign but saw his opportunities diminish over time, eventually concluding his VFL career midway through the 1906 season just as South Melbourne began building the list that would contest the finals regularly in the years that followed. He departed the Lake Oval having notched a half-century of senior appearances across four seasons.
