Stats
Bio
A towering figure from the Ballarat Football League, Bob Stewart arrived at Arden Street with a formidable reputation as a dual Dalton-Bayly Medallist with Redan. Standing 191cm, the dominant ruckman and key position player was recruited to North Melbourne after claiming back-to-back league best-and-fairest awards in the country, offering the Kangaroos significant height and presence. His VFL career was ultimately a brief interlude, restricted to seven senior appearances in the 1963 season before he opted to return to his home club. Stewart's legacy remains defined by his extraordinary dominance in Ballarat, where he immediately recaptured his finest form to win two further league medals in 1964 and 1966, solidifying his status as a four-time Dalton-Bayly winner and a genuine country football legend.
