Stats
Bio
Recruited from Caulfield, David Bell was a follower who earned his opportunity with Melbourne during a lean period for the club in the early 20th century. He broke into the senior lineup in 1909, utilised primarily in the ruck and resting forward where he managed to boot a few goals. Despite showing promise in his debut year with ten appearances, Bell found opportunities harder to come by in 1910, adding just six more games to his tally. His VFL career was ultimately short-lived, concluding after two seasons before he later settled in regional Victoria.
