Stats
Bio
Bob Cave was a diminutive rover recruited from Sturt in South Australia, crossing the border to join St Kilda for the 1912 season. Standing just 165cm and weighing 64kg, he was one of the lightest players in the competition, relying on agility and evasion rather than physical presence to compete against larger opponents. He managed to break into the senior lineup for five games and booted a single goal during his brief tenure at the Junction Oval. Ultimately, Cave struggled to cement a regular place in a developing Saints side that was on the verge of a rise up the ladder, and his VFL career concluded after just that single winter in Melbourne.
