Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Wimmera town of Murtoa, Bob Constable was a mid-sized utility who earned a brief opportunity with Melbourne during the early stages of the Norm Smith era. Standing 180cm, he possessed the frame to operate as a flanker or third tall, breaking into the senior side midway through the 1953 season where he managed to boot a goal during his short stint at the top level. However, cementing a permanent spot in the Demons' lineup proved a difficult task, with the club boasting a powerful list that surged to a Grand Final appearance that same year. After just three senior appearances in the red and blue, Constable’s VFL career concluded at the end of the season, leaving him as a footnote in a strong era for the club.
