Stats
Bio
Born on Christmas Eve 1905, Dave Farrell was a mid-sized recruit brought into the North Melbourne fold as the club battled through its difficult formative years in the VFL. Standing 179cm, he possessed the physical attributes of a utility player capable of filling roles in defence or along the flanks. He earned his opportunity during the 1929 season, a year in which the Shinboners finished second-last on the ladder and frequently rotated personnel to find a competitive edge. Farrell managed three senior appearances in the royal blue and white but was unable to secure a permanent spot in the side. He finished the season without a goal and was subsequently delisted, his brief career emblematic of the transient nature of lists during the depression-era struggles at Arden Street.
