Stats
Bio
Born in Beechworth, Richard "Dick" Stewart was a foundation-era squad member who transitioned to the VFL from Carlton's VFA team. He made his senior debut at the mature age of 25 late in the 1898 season, earning a call-up for the final four rounds of the year. While specific accounts of his playstyle are rare, his six career games without a goal suggest he primarily filled defensive or utility roles when regular starters were unavailable. After missing the entire 1899 season, Stewart returned to the senior side for two final appearances in 1900 before concluding his brief VFL career. Although he never cemented a permanent spot in the side, he remains recorded as one of the pioneer players who represented the Blues during the league's infancy.
