Stats
Bio
Hailing from Foster in South Gippsland, Charlie Harbour arrived at St Kilda during the chaotic final stages of the Second World War. Standing 183cm, he was a tall defender for the era, joining a Saints outfit that had been displaced from the Junction Oval and forced to play home matches at Toorak Park. Despite his height and the team's on-field struggles—claiming the wooden spoon in his debut 1945 season—Harbour found it difficult to cement a regular spot in the senior lineup. He was often utilised in defensive roles where his reach was an asset, but he managed just seven games across two seasons without kicking a goal before departing the VFL scene at the conclusion of 1946.
