Stats
Bio
Recruited from Springvale in the Federal League, Bob Willis was a mid-sized utility who made a brief but statistically notable cameo for Hawthorn late in the 1965 season. Wearing the number 40 guernsey, he broke into the senior side for the Round 15 clash against Fitzroy at Brunswick Street and made an immediate impact, gathering 21 disposals and taking four marks in a low-scoring victory. He backed up his debut with another solid 16-touch performance the following week, but his influence waned over the final fortnight of the year. Willis played the last four games of the season, concluding his VFL career after a quiet final round appearance against North Melbourne.
