Stats
Bio
Recruited from the University Football Club in Western Australia, Brian Devitt was a physically imposing ruckman who crossed the Nullarbor to join North Melbourne for the 1970 VFL season. Standing 193cm and weighing 96kg, he offered a massive frame for the era, providing a contest in the air for a Kangaroos side that eventually claimed the wooden spoon. He made his senior debut in Round 12 against St Kilda and retained his place for seven consecutive matches, drifting forward to kick his lone VFL goal against Carlton at Waverley Park. Despite his size advantage, Devitt's time at Arden Street was fleeting, and he departed the league after just a single season in the royal blue and white.
