Stats
Bio
Recruited from Prahran in the VFA, Bob Aubrey was a lightly built footballer whose brief VFL career was defined by the upheaval of the Second World War. A Leading Aircraftman in the RAAF, Aubrey broke into the St Kilda lineup during the tumultuous 1945 season, a year characterized by the gradual return of servicemen and high player turnover. Standing just 174cm, he played five games for the Saints as a small utility, filling a role in a team that managed only two wins for the year. Although he did not register a goal or secure a long-term tenure at the Junction Oval, Aubrey's contribution stands as a snapshot of the era, representing the many service-age men who stepped in to keep the competition running before the league stabilized in the post-war years.
