Charlie Street

Recruited locally from St James and North Richmond, Charlie Street was a defensive journeyman who found his footing at Princes Park after a stuttering start to his career. Initially appearing for Richmond, he struggled to cement a regular spot in the Tigers' lineup, managing just a handful of senior appearances across four seasons before crossing town to Carlton in search of greater opportunity. The move proved revitalising for the back pocket specialist, who immediately became a key fixture in the Blues' defence, known for his dogged determination and ability to quell opposition small forwards. His football journey culminated in a bittersweet appearance in the 1932 Grand Final where, playing for his new club, he was tasked with defending against his former teammates as Richmond claimed the premiership.
