Stats
Bio
Recruited from Stratford in the Gippsland region, Colin Bock was a tall utility who briefly bolstered St Kilda’s stocks during the difficult 1956 season. Standing at 185cm, he possessed the size to play as a ruckman or key defender—valuable attributes for a Saints side that was struggling to find competitive big men. Bock made his debut in Round 3 against Carlton and played three matches that year, often battling through injury in a depleted lineup before the demands of league football saw him return to the country. While his VFL career was short-lived, Bock later established a significant professional legacy in local government, serving as the long-time Town Clerk for the City of Waverley.
