Bio
Recruited from Stawell, Cyril Powell began his VFL career with Richmond in 1927 but found opportunities limited at Punt Road, managing just five senior appearances in his debut season. Seeking regular football, the defender transferred to South Melbourne the following year, where he was able to cement a spot in the backline. Powell added 21 games to his tally over two seasons at the Lake Oval, playing primarily as a defensive stopper who never impacted the scoreboard. He departed the league at the conclusion of the 1929 season, leaving the game as a reliable backman who held his own during a brief three-year stint at the top level.
